Elon Musk calls on the venerable Associated Press to retract a story about #Twitter and false claims of a stolen election.
@w7voa proving every day evil is the only way to become a billionaire
@w7voa "I demand source data!" — Someone who doesn't know how journalism works
@w7voa is he denying that false claims proliferate on his platform or is he denying that it’s false to claim the election was stolen? Maybe both.
@mattblaze @w7voa I deny the denial and raise you a maybe.
@mattblaze @w7voa Maybe he just wants a source to fire and mud drag.
@mattblaze @w7voa And his own twitter account on an average day is probably enough to support the headline he's mad about.
@mattblaze @w7voa Or is he denying that it's unchecked. "We checked. we're just not good at that part."
@mattblaze @w7voa I hope he files a defamation lawsuit, because I desperately want to see the defense file Twitter's poop emoji as evidence.
@mattblaze @w7voa I read it as Musk asking for data regarding that people are talking about the stolen election on Twitter.
@mattblaze @w7voa I wish someone at AP would reply with just a poop emoji.

@w7voa

Feels like the maxim:

> extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence

Burden of proof seems to be on the conspiracy nuts.

Thus far, courts have said no and none of the big names have been willing to testify in support under oath. Seems like APs claim is already supported.

@ferricoxide @w7voa does he want them to prove the claims still thrive on Twitter (easy) or that they are false (never proven as true).

I'm guessing he is trying to feel smart by challenging someone to prove what doesn't exist.

@ATLeagle @w7voa

I'm feeling an "absence of evidence isn't the same as evidence of absence" inbound.

@ferricoxide @w7voa @ATLeagle I learned that in Boolean Logic. The old “vacuously true” gag. What a maroon he is.
@w7voa i wonder which part he has issues with: that it’s not corrected or that it wasn’t stolen? You never know with that troll! #Twitter #uspolitics
@w7voa also, here’s a lovely sea lion for him

@w7voa It's even more hilarious as AP only posts stories with that account. All responses are basically ignored.

Same situation here too.

@w7voa he has yet to prove the election was stolen
@w7voa Inheriting money and spending it on what you think could be profitable by watching Star Trek is easy! Using inflated and obscene wealth to run a social media company without commenting, something guaranteed to prove to the world you're really just another wealthy extremist pretending you're smart, a pseudo-intellectual, a sad simpleton deep fried in yellow journalism, a ripe turd in the hot sun, is hard.

@w7voa

SpaceX & Tesla Elon rocks

Twitter/politics Elon sucks

episode 539. heh

@synlogic plot twist: it's the same elon, just less filtered.

@w7voa

@w7voa maybe he should do better?
@w7voa Wonder who’s paying for that blue checkmark.

@w7voa The claims are backed up in the article. Apparently Elon didn't click through - or look in the mirror.

False claims of a stolen election thrive unchecked on Twitter even as Musk promises otherwise

NEW YORK (AP) — In an interview this week, Twitter owner Elon Musk said users making false claims of stolen elections “will be corrected” on the platform.

Associated Press
@w7voa I hope the AP replied with a poop emoji.
@w7voa "Sue me, bitch." - The AP (probably)

@w7voa

I am guessing there isn't a single source anywhere that will convince him. So it is pointless to even try as he revels in his ignorance

@w7voa

Funny. That’s not what the screenshot says, where it invites AP to back up its claims first.

@w7voa He's like the rest of us, commenting on links without actually reading the article
@w7voa and even if they did provide a source he'd probably not accept it
@w7voa says the guy that makes posts and claims without verifying the information

@w7voa Oooooh! There's gonna be a fight!
Break out the popcorn!

It's the clown car conductor vs the bastion of truth.

I wonder who will win.
Actually, no. I don't.

@w7voa "back your claims up" wahahaha, he really said that, hahaha.
Has he been living under a rick the last 3.5 years

What a bonehead

@w7voa in his manner the reply is 💩

@w7voa

"An analysis shows..." is the back up to the claims.

Is he asking for the headline to prove its point in the headline? Is Musk literally daft?

@w7voa AP should answer with Elmo’s favorite poop emoji.

@speedbird9 @w7voa Btw, Eloon's poop emojis are lacking his golden spoon.

And should be shaped like a big brown lithium battery.

@w7voa Instead of retracting truth about Twitter spreading mis- & disinformation @ap should retreat from Musk's falsehoods dumpster & focus on expanding/ enlarging its own Mastodon instance, where Free Speech isn't just empty words from the mouth of a petulant, histrionic spoiled billionaire brat.
