Elon has gone on damage control banning journalists. Any and everything related to me is banned. So much for free speech.

A list of those suspended so far.
Donnie O Sullivan - CNN
Ryan Mac - NYTimes
Matt Binder - Mashable
Arron Rupar
Drew Harwell - Washington Post

All 30 of my accounts of course

@JxckS btw. Are we going to see the Russian oligarch jets on mastodon too? I think Ukrainian people might want to know too.
@JxckS @sub_o he tracks Elon's jet using publicly available data. I'm going to guess that the location of oligarchs' jets aren't publicly available.
@JxckS proves that everything he said when he took over was complete BS
@Realmommyflex @JxckS
He manipulates ppl in every way... even uses a baby to do it... since Elon is a highest tier narcissist

@JxckS

None of this is surprising.

Soon, the TOS will exclude anyone who identifies as a journalist "because the media is the enemy of the people".

If it's not clear already, he's joined the club that includes Jordan Peterson, Kanye, etc - of rich/notable people having massive mental health issues in massively public ways.

It's really very sad.

@isucceed @JxckS It's really not sad. It's not as if the dude can't afford a shrink.
@isucceed @JxckS Maggie Haberman will not get kicked off, as she is the scribe and supporter of trump. Elon won’t get rid of her.
@isucceed
Please don't attribute his behavior to mental health issues. He's a rich asshole. He's at the very least fash adjacent. It's got nothing to do with mental health, and by saying it does you increase the stigma actually mentally ill people have to deal with. Thanks.

@intransitivelie

He can be rich asshole and also be mentally ill. Many antisocial behaviors are in fact symptoms of certain mental illnesses. I mentioned two other examples in which "rich asshole" overlaps with "mental illness". This is simply reality.

And, stating otherwise is contrary to the actual diagnostic manual.

Stigma - in the minds of the ignorant - is independent of actual facts and functions. And, not a basis for avoiding facts - or making false statements.

You are welcome.

@isucceed
Why do you jump immediately to "He must be mentally ill?" Consider your own biases. It's not a false statement to avoid associating mental illness with being an asshole. You're so insistent on excusing his and others' behavior by claiming, entirely without diagnosis, that it must be due to mental illness. Why is that? Are you a psychiatrist? If you are, you should know better. If you aren't, you have no business attempting diagnosis.

In other words, FOH with your ableism. I was polite before. I'm not now. Your words will do no harm to rich assholes but they will harm marginalized people. You should do better.

@intransitivelie

Yeah he just earned a blocking.

@intransitivelie

Promoting compassion for the mentally ill, esp when that overlaps with "rich asshole", challenges tribal biases of various kinds - was the entire point of my remarks.

The toxic behavior of the man - and the objectively bad outcomes he's generating - aside, I believe him unwell.

And, on that count, I have compassion for his suffering and his humiliation. Just like the other two I mentioned.

There remain those who would find compassion offensive. For them I also hold it.

@isucceed @JxckS So it's better to use Mastodon !

@Beasley @JxckS

ABSolutely.

We need to build systems that are oligarch proof, and that build rather than tear at community.

@isucceed @JxckS Which can be done in the Fediverse. As the idea is completely different fm twitter.
But of course we should donate once in a while (ppl there are volunteers but make a free exchange of opinions possible , at their own expense).

@Beasley @JxckS

Absolutely.

People who can should patreon or whatever to support their server and development of the oligarch-proof systems.

And, we should look to expand this community / donation paradigm beyond the digital...

@JxckS Check this bit of hypocrisy out.
@damaged @JxckS We *all* know that the first time a RWNJ doxxes a "lefist" Elon will respond with "lol"
@damaged @JxckS libs of tik tok doxxes people all the time and continues to do it with impunity.
@damaged @JxckS bet that's because he's butthurt over being booed by Dave Chapell's audience.
@damaged @JxckS
He thinks he's the big cheese when he's a Swiss cheese...
@JxckS #ElonJet got suspended on here. Move or recreate the account on the bot instance. https://botsin.space/about
botsin.space

A Mastodon instance for bots and bot allies.

Mastodon hosted on botsin.space
@JxckS Never mind. It seems it's back now.
@JxckS What a particularly innocuous tweet for Musk to lose his shit over. It's just quoting a fairly bland statement from a government spokesperson.

@JxckS I don't understand why this ticking timebomb of a human being doesn't just trash his "Policies" altogether and just type in "DO NOT SAY ANY BAD THING THAT I DO NOT LIKE!!!"

At least then he won't have to keep changing it....

@JxckS It's about controlling the narrative. People who won't blindly follow him are removed, end of story.
@Paynamia @JxckS It's AMAZING to me how quickly he's gone from "I REFUSE TO FOLLOW THE NARRATIVE" to "I AM THE NARRATIVE. FALL IN LINE OR ELSE." I really wouldn't be surprised if he had more people JUMPING ON HIS HOOD.
@elonjetlover @JxckS Well, that was never genuine, anyway. It was about controlling the narrative from day one, he's just doing worse at covering it up now.
@Paynamia @JxckS Hahahaha beaten by a college kid. Man, what a glorious collapse of a stupid empire.

@JxckS If the Texas law stands he is going to be forced to reinstate everyone, including ElonJet!

@IrwinFletcher0 @JxckS

Der Ansatz ebnet den Weg zu einem System, das ich richtig finde. Denn ich bin der Meinung, daß es nicht sein kann, daß der Staat es irgendwelchen Laien in Unternehmen mit primär finanziellen Interessen überlässt, Beiträge in Soz. Netzwerken juristisch einzuordnen. Die Betreiber Soz. Netzwerke sind nicht die richtige Instanz, um die Einhaltung von Gesetzen zu kontrollieren. Der Staat - respektive die Justiz - darf sich nicht länger um die Verantwortung drücken.

@IrwinFletcher0 @JxckS

Stan Fletcher, I wouldn't want that, because that would mean you can't ban people for inciting violence and spreading hatred and misinformation.

@JxckS Seems there was no I terest in free speech. Was obvious even before he finalized his purchase
@JxckS ethical journalists should have exited weeks ago
@LaureM @JxckS I would hope for a solidarity boycott by the journalism community.
@JxckS Elmo went full retard. Never go full retard.
@iasen_kostov @JxckS Not a fan of that word. We can call him "His Sinkness", after the sink he brought into the building on day one of his seizure of Castle Twitter San Francisco, though...
@JxckS He suspended Joinmastodon and journalist Aaron Rupar
