Twitter Death Cultweird how elon and david sacks keep hosting weirdo fringe republicans
inscrutable politics
They're still called "retweets" when you open a tweet though
lol that it's taking them so goddamn long to change these things
linda yaxx sounds like an actress whose film I would have seen in a Times Square basement theatre in 1977

"On March 17, Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, the leader of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, dialed into a call to discuss Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Over the secure line, the two military leaders conferred on air defense systems, real-time battlefield assessments and shared intelligence on Russia’s military losses.
They also talked about Elon Musk."
The giant X strobe light is even worse than you could imagine

Musk is threatening to *not* leave san francisco and making fun of his landlord for crying over his ~amazing sign~
He's just fucking with people now for fun. He is a legit psychopath.
saw a guy driving a model 3 a few weeks ago with an "elon musk sucks" bumper sticker next to his plate, great news for the brand!!
hey, guess what, he's shining the sign directly into the SF city attorney's office
If the tenant can straight up deny your entry more than once for a dangerous structure being erected illegally, your laws are kind of shit IMO.
watching this guy pander to right wing freaks that will forever hate him is funny, but also the comments are just full of unmoderated paid blue check white nationalist racism. safe to assume if someone has a blue check they’re a raging racist or Nazi. good job X the everything app.
tim apple caved and let elon give the shitter app a single-character name
looks legit
He's such a fucking loser lmao

What I honestly hate about him more then anything else including many more deserving reasons is how fucking unfunny he is. like all his humor is fucking dumbshit bad surface level sex jokes or references to the worst jokes on a show. its not even channer humor because at least some of that can be twistedly funny sometimes, this shit's just "hurr i 69nd myself into a pickle, i am pickle rick". like fuck man watch other shit.
The insane amount of plastic surgery, and constantly being on uppers since he was forced to buy Twitter is all hitting at once and we’re watching him decompose in real time
my favorite part is how he's had so much jaw filler injected his smile is permanently upside down
also lol at his nasty beard graying out
Pretty sure it's been well established that you can't wait for people to get X on their own and X must deliver it to them
*X taking legal action against the Centre for Countering Digital Hate- a non-profit*
“Reporting negatively on us is equivalent to suppression of free speech”, says organization in full control of everything that is posted on their own platform.
I feel like filing a lawsuit against an organization named the "Center for Countering Digital Hate" is one of those things that should make a sane person stop and have an "Are we the baddies?" moment. But, well, Elmo.
Here's the org's reply
https://counterhate.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Letter-to-A.-Spiro-from-R.-Kaplan-re-CCDH.pdf
ElonX literally took people's handles away from them.
What the fuck freedom of speech do you have if you don’t even get to keep your own goddamn name?
Even the people that pay eight dollars a month aren’t buying Elon's shit in the comments lol
Roberta Kaplan is representing them. she's the one who fought pro-bono for gay marriage to be recognized in the us https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Windsor (yes I know that Obergefell v Hodges forced its legality but recognition was an important first step)
also the person who bankrupted the people behind the unite the right nazi rally in charlottesville
and most recently won the defamation suit against trump for raping e jean carroll (and yes, the judge specifically ruled that while the legal term was sexual battery, he cannot counter-sue for defamation if someone calls it rape https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-rape-e-jean-carroll-sexual-abuse-jury-judge-2023-7?r=US&IR=T )
so she has a history of taking on pieces of shit and winning, even if they were as powerful as the former president of the us
his entire plan is to just use discovery to find out who the secret cabal of leftists planning his and x's destruction are
this will be fun 🍿🍿🍿
CCDH did threaten in their letter to Elon's lawyers that if Elon insists on pressing forward and filing a lawsuit, they'd be using their powers of discovery to get all of Twitter's internal information about how they identify and categorize and measure hate speech, their metrics on hate speech; and additionally information about their advertising income (which are all directly relevant to the complaint).
This filing is just performative by Elon, to try to create a chilling effect to discourage anyone else from writing articles that make him sad. As soon as he's being required by discovery to turn over information detailing the fact that Twitter has basically no real measurements of hate speech, and the sad state his advertising revenue is in, he'll drop the suit because he won't want to turn any of that over.
Ai Weiwei is good again
The new EU regulations against hate speech and misinformation are coming into effect by the end of august. Musk said he'd abide by them (lmao)
Well that 10% covers the wage of their remaining 2-3 developers. Clearly a business genius.
It's like he's screaming continuously to try to drown out his own thoughts telling him he's a cowardly loser, and also all of the other people telling him that.
Zuck should challenge him on top of a staircase. Because it seems the first time didn’t take.
There's something grossly and genuinely wrong about watching a grown man with far too much wealth and power to ever get a genuine comeuppance, delivering a bragging replay of his own childish behavior to his online friends with the sweaty, obvious dishonesty of a nasty little boy of 11 or 12 relaying to the other boys how he totally owned some rival in the playground.
Cringe is too small a word.
twitter's lawyers, explaining to the court that they have no one left who can write a SQL query

Is it just me or is there a 100% chance Trump talked to his advisors about sensitive stuff via DM?

An analysis of the US vs Twitter case for the subpoena of Trump's tweets - Part 2 - How obvious Elon's simping for Trump was and just how much Twitter is a dead company walking with no real institutional knowledge left
Note: Fleets were basically Instagram/Snapchat stories
Hmm, let me think. Conservative politicians for not doing anything about climate change. Fuckers who constantly fly around in private jets. Self-immolating cars...
It's absolutely wild that Musk is just consistently going "I'M A NAZI! !! AT THIS WHITE KID BEING BULLIED BY EVIL MINORITIES! I'M A NAZI! HELLO HELLO NAZI HERE!"
Meanwhile the media is like "Damn what are his politics? A true enigma worthy of the Riddler!"
How long until Musk makes all new accounts follow him by default, ala Myspace Tom (except MySpace Tom is cool, and my friend)
Coincidentally, the Apple App Store requires apps to implement blocking they want to even sniff being available in the store
Turns out he's fine with blocking people from viewing the concert they paid for
Extreme “going to your ex girlfriend’s wedding” levels of sad
Block also makes it so they cant see your posts or interact with them in anyway (no QTs) obviously they can just log out or if you are locked into "followers only" mode, make another account to look at your content but it does make it harder to harass someone.
It is funny seeing him reap the consequences of making the site even shittier. People will use the block more when its filled with nazis, scammers, bots, and weird guys who post CP to own the libs.
LOL Elon had them make a bunch of fake accounts to boost his follower count
They changed the setup so that you are required to follow at least one account when you're signing up and Elon is always the first suggested account so every bot on the platform is following him
https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-x-twitter-follower-data
Elon continues to make genius moves with Twitter
Think how much space those links took up!
Elon's on a bender again
Holy shit what an incredibly thin skinned baby
He actually managed to piss off the chuds, amazing
Lol at Musk unblocking a guy 3 years later just to make a snarky comment.
Tons of people (correctly) talk absolute shit to Musk on Twitter and he ignores most of it. This is a guy he blocked for being annoying and three years later remembered him and unblocked him just so he could reply to their 3 year old tweet.
"We are the last light in the darkness" yep things are good, going super well at Exxe dot con
The article doesn't contain the original tweet (and honestly why would you want to see it based on the described contents?) But yeah, holocaust denial. Terrific. Very healthy for a platform.
"According to a post on X by the Memorial and Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau, it had reported the offensive reply but received a response saying that after viewing the "available information" the platform had decided no rules had been broken."
Ronan Farrow published a long profile on Musk:
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/08/28/elon-musks-shadow-rule
"Tesla for a time included in its vehicles the ability to replace the humming noises that electric cars must emit—since their engines make little sound—with goat bleats, farting, or a sound of the owner’s choice. “We’re, like, ‘No, that’s not compliant with the regulations, don’t be stupid,’ ” Cliff told me. Tesla argued with regulators for more than a year, according to an N.H.T.S.A. safety report."
Toots McGee@cspam playing the smallest violin for X right now
Gregory Hays@cspam Mit dem Angriff Steiners wird das alles in Ordnung kommen.
Charles Herold@cspam The writing's on the wall, "Elon destroyed Twitter and it's only a matter of time before it takes its last gasp," and Elon has realized all he can do is desperately try to add a footnote.
Illyana 🏳️⚧️@cspam People just don't like social networks anymore, I guess. That's clearly the only reason why Xitter is dying.
Noodles@cspam Man, if that fool is actively admitting the possibility of failure, Twitter must be really really worse off than expected.
MrBlizzard@cspam yep he claims free speech yet nobody will see your posts if you don't spend a monthly subscription also the ad revenue sharing requiring twitter blue is also stupid asf
@cspam let's not ignore that at one point literal gore videos like a guy shooting himself and a cat being put in a blender managed to stay on this website
Matt Stocum@cspam we can also be for prosecuting the Jan 6th insurrectionists, and against the horrible conditions that exist in American prisons. We can be upset with the way a fellow human is being treated, while still wanting them to be punished for their crimes. We can be pro-law and order, and anti-prison abuse. None of there are contradictory.
Riley S. Faelan@cspam Also, anybody who has read Russian prison literature (which, btw, is a fairly expansive genre for ... reasons) would be suspicious about a plastic bucket for peeing in.
Roo_44Hey kids, listen up, here is a teachable moment about FAFO.
Threenotch@cspam having never been to prison I wouldn’t know but -
That seems staged photos - 1 who took them? 2 if that is indeed a cell and not a janitorial closet, why would there be an outlet on the wall? Seems like a solitary confine,ent cell wouldn’t have power… but like I said I haven’t been there so…

And still there are people and businesses who will just put up with it. :(
@cspam why does he think people care if he blocks them?

Simon Willison@selfagency @cspam I showed that the images themselves haven't been deleted but confirmed that the t.co links prior to 2014 are all 404s now, to both images and URLs
Still unclear if it's a bug or a deliberate choice https://twitter.com/simonw/status/1692926763481862438
Sean C.@cspam i’ve noticed some of mine not working but wasn’t sure if it was a larger issue
Daniel Rigal 🇪🇺 🦣@cspam Yeah, that's not about saving space. That's destruction of evidence. If I'm right, he will go after the sites which archive Twitter to make them delete their copies too.
Catherine is not complacent@cspam he really needs to cut back, he’s not even coherent.
hitaus@CatDragon @cspam I'm also getting some hallucinating AI vibes. Maybe he's a bot after all...
Christopher 
I get the sense he's coked out of his mind some days.

Jennifer Deseo@NoTheOtherNick @cspam Tom knew when to exit. All social-media megalomaniacs should be more like Tom. 😥
Matthew Daly@jdeseo @NoTheOtherNick @cspam And he's doing what any sane person should be doing after being bought out of their big web app - enjoying a life of leisure, not disappearing up their own backside or funding nasty political groups
@cspam I guess the only solution left is to block Twitter itself.
Can we start calling Musk "HiTax"?
@cspam Elon spent 44 billion to impress Trump and give him his account back and Trump was still like "nah".
Kevin Leecaster@cspam
What are the odds that ELoon didn't mention to some of that orange chump's allies that the DOJ was trying to get access to his Twitter data?
I don't think there's much chance that he didn't. He seems to think that the laws don't apply to him either.
