Peddling fabricated bullshit isn't the same as "independent thought." It's just peddling bullshit to gullible rubes who just believe things they want to hear without any critical thinking.

This is the most cynical #bothsides I've read in some time. This wasn't just a different opinion, Elon was amplifying a known right wing and qanon disinformation source inside his first week as twitter CEO. It's fun to deride that as cryinglib.meme, but you're allowing yourself to be manipulated and made into a useful idiot if you think you're making an even comparison

It doesn't matter what the opinion is. If it's counter to your political party narrative, you don't like it. You guys were all just fine with Elon Musk when you thought he was on your team. But when he made it clear how much he depises you and all you stand for, you went full triggered. I don't really give a shit about Elon Musk one way or the other, but I will always be for free speech.

He appears to have deleted his tweet (without comment) after people pointed out that his "newspaper" source has previously claimed that Hillary is dead and was switched with a body double for the 2016 campaign. Ironic, given that Musk sent it to Hillary Clinton.

You're being willfully ignorant and borderline trolling if you think that advancing a lie that is directly counter to the facts of the situation is an "opinion". 

If you're tucker carlson you may argue that's "just an opinion", but unless you're a fundamentally dishonest person you'd probably call it a lie.

I've been pretty consistent in this thread that he's not a wizard, he's just willing to ignore conventional wisdom and fail along the way to success. You keep using the word "triggered" because it's what angry TV man says and you repeat it like an aggy, but folks here are more just laughing at how badly Elon is fucking himself over.

[Captainant 27971]

Case in point here cornpop, Elon is going for another cryinglib.meme here 

He's trying to dodge accountability for putting out bullshit propoganda from a bullshit source by leaning on culture war bullshit to distract the useful idiots. Like how when babyaga outed himself as a neonazi but since he's on your team in the culture war you've got his back. Just like how since (you think) Elon triggers the people you want triggered, you'll defend him on a Texas football message board.

I use the term triggered because that is what you are. I have never subscribed to, or read any Qanon material ever. This has nothing to do with my political persuasions. I want everyone to have the same access to social media platforms. Biden, Trump, Ronald McDonald, and even you. As long as you are not violating any laws, you should have the right to protected speech. If you feel otherwise, maybe you're a nazi?

Cornpop, you know who tweets out stupid fucking conspiracy theories from shady websites?   My sis-in-law.  And the owner of Twitter.

My sis-in-law is mentally ill, and her “independent thoughts” come from Qanon social media and sites, and Russian propaganda.  And I mean truly mentally ill - she believes that people like Oprah Winfrey and Tom Hanks are trafficking in children for their endocrine (which, one look at Hanks or Winfrey and it’s clear that the endocrine or whatever isnt helping with the aging process), that there are FEMA internment camps, and that JFK Jr. is still alive.  She has publicly screamed at at my wife as well as her brother and his wife because we vaccinated our kids, and I mean screamed as in “YOU'RE KILLING YOUR CHILDREN WITH VACCINES!”, complete with bystanders asking if they should call the cops.

Again, my sis-in-law is mentally ill.  What is Elon’s excuse?

Nah. I’m not a fan of Saudi Arabia nor billionaires. If I ever mentioned Musk before today, I’d put money that my post said he ought to be taxed like it’s 1950. I might have posted something about his father adopting a four year old girl, who, later in life, he impregnated.

To be realistic, their child was conceived when the daughter was in her thirties. So, he isn’t a cellar dweller in league Woody Allen. But, his son seems autocratic

That sounds nice, but those platforms are private companies and have the right to kick off anybody that causes them problems regardless of whether laws are broken or not, because their job is to pay their bills and make a profit, not to make it easy to send out racist or conspiracy bullshit or photos of the grandkids.   This is where Musk is going to run into a lot of problems down the line, and he may have already realized that with his letter to advertisers   

And absolutely nothing is stopping anybody from starting their own social media platform if they are booted from an existing one.  For a $10 a year domain name (CornpopsWordsofWisdom.com is available) and for under $5 a month, and free if you are willing to let the host benefit from advertising, in a few minutes you can spin up a WordPress site with a few plugins and have 75%-90% of the functionality of Twitter or Facebook (and you can hit the full functionality with another half hour of research and a few more plugins).  

Edit: I don’t think Musk is dumb enough to turn Twitter into a free-for-all, but he also posts a lot of stupid shit on Twitter which makes me question his common sense and mental health,

This seems……pointless and dumb.

I know the whole “Blue Check Mark” as a status symbol is pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things but it started as - and still is - a useful way to keep bad actors from impersonating experts/celebrities/journalists/politicians/companies/news outlets or stopping domain squatters from claiming names to ransom them.

Way to “fix” something that wasn’t a problem and seems rife for abuse to deny verification or eliminate users that Musk and his minions don’t like.

So I'm supposed to pay $960 a year to maintain blue checks on 4 accounts whose actual sole purpose is to retweet content posted to the sites associated with the accounts (I do post original content and interact with people on those accounts to earn/maintain the blue checks, but it's not much effort and I still only set them up and post on them to drive traffic to the websites).

Or I can just skip the $960 a year and people will still follow me and still click on the links when stuff is posted, because current followers won't give a shit and potential/future followers will still care more that they link to the websites than anything else.

And a shitload of other blue-check people will do the same and forego the blue check.  While the spammers will happily pay for it.

I have a bunch related to websites I own (and no personal stuff on them), but just three personal (one really personal tied to my name for some stuff I've written, two that are not tied to my name, one is related to hobbyist stuff, one to current events (Ukraine)).  Twitter is still very useful.
