weird 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 tech billionaire has become the dominant power in satellite internet technology. The ways he is wielding that influence are raising global alarms.

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.
meanwhile things on the site are going great
Pretty sure I read this William Gibson novel
lol of course she didn't put a burner on her old handle
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

Twitter Threatens to Sue Center for Countering Digital Hate Over Research

The Center for Countering Digital Hate said it had received a letter from X, Twitter’s parent company, accusing it of trying to hurt the social platform with its research.

The New York Times
Lol muskie is a bitch who folds at the slightest actual pushback
Tweet / Twitter

Twitter
Rip anyone hired to be head of Brand Safety at X corp
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

United States v. Windsor - Wikipedia

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

Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll, not just sexual abuse: judge

The jury didn't find Trump "raped" Carroll only because of a quirk in New York state law, according to the judge who oversaw the trial.

Business Insider

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.
It's like wearing long sleeves over your swastika tattoo
gone away is the blue bird, here to stay is the n word
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.

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

Special counsel obtained Trump DMs despite ‘momentous’ bid by Twitter to delay, unsealed filings show

Judge Beryl Howell lit into Twitter for taking steps to give Donald Trump advance notice about the search warrant.

And I wouldn’t be surprised if Musk let Trump know, personally.
