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 šæšæšæ
Ai Weiwei is good again
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 didnāt 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?

An analysis of the US vs Twitter case for the subpoena of Trump's tweets - Part 1
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
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!"
Turns out he's fine with blocking people from viewing the concert they paid for
Extreme āgoing to your ex girlfriendās weddingā 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

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.
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 emitāsince their engines make little soundāwith goat bleats, farting, or a sound of the ownerās choice. āWeāre, like, āNo, thatās not compliant with the regulations, donāt be stupid,ā ā Cliff told me. Tesla argued with regulators for more than a year, according to an N.H.T.S.A. safety report."
How does he keep coming up with these genius ideas????
"According to a source with knowledge of the matter, the change is being pushed directly by X owner Elon Musk. The primary objective appears to be to reduce the height of tweets, thus allowing more posts to fit within the portion of the timeline that appears on screen."
Seems like a good way to get news agencies to completely stop posting to your platform.
I love how much Musk begs people to post on X. Just a massive stink of desperation.
He has no idea why people are so unenthused about posting directly on the platform where said idiot owner is destroying a major feature every 2 weeks.
"please post on this platform where i could pay you $200 if i wake up from a ket trip and happen to see your account on my phone, and if it doesn't make me mad or sad, which could be anything (unless it's child exploitation which makes me very happy indeed!!)"
so this past week he's proposed removing blocks, then after a sideshow of blocking everyone who pointed out that's a stupid fucking idea he's now proposing removing link embeds
just insane that at the same time fb is stepping into their own shit by moving away from news on the feed, musk is making yet another huge unforced error that will drive away the people who actually attract users to twitter
"its where i get my news" is literally the only good thing people have to say about twitter
it's weird how all his plans to "improve" twitter revolve around taking away basic QoL features that were massively important to the platform's perception as the social media platform of choice, verified users was removed, tweet length limits removed, banning of nazis who share child porn removed, block button for stalkers and harassers to be removed, link embeds to be removed
soon opening twitter will just redirect to AI spambot generated timecube
he is becoming increasingly isolated
āHis life just sucks,ā one colleague told The New Yorker. āItās so stressful. Heās just so dedicated to these companies. He goes to sleep and wakes up answering e-mails. Ninety-nine per cent of people will never know someone that obsessed, and with that high a tolerance for sacrifice in their personal life.ā
Twitter Death Cult
