birds of a feather...

are the advertisers ok with this stuff?

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 54 points 6 months ago

HE ALREADLY LITERALLY SAID THE JEWS DROVE OFF ALL HIS ADVERTISING

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

They'll be responsible! The world is their judge! They'll see, they'll all seeeeeeee!

Love how Musk is unironically an actual super villain and still, still I have to talk to people that think he is a genius.

Anyway, I truly hope this dipshit ends up impoverished and or in jail from the insane bullshit he's been doing for a decade now.

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 29 points 6 months ago

Which advertisers are still there?

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 59 points 6 months ago

“Nazi bar owner lets Nazi in Nazi bar.”

I’m SHOCKED I tell you; SHOCKED!

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 6 months ago

The shocking thing is that Muskrat took so long to un-ban them.

[-] athos77@kbin.social 37 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Reminder that musk grew up a rich white boy in full apartheid South Africa and has remained a reactive, unthinking manchild over the years. He doesn't think white supremacy is either wrong or even unusual.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

But his parents said he had such a good relationship with the servants!

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 34 points 6 months ago

What? No! A billionaire helping a fascist? What's next, a landlord raising rates?

[-] hperrin@lemmy.world 34 points 6 months ago

When did Elon ban himself?

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 27 points 6 months ago

Well, of course. Aren't they the only ones using Twitter these days?

[-] eatthecake@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago

“Very well, he will be reinstated, provided he does not violate the law, and let him be crushed by the comments and Community Notes,” Musk said. “It is better to have anti whatever out in the open to be rebutted than grow simmering in the darkness.”

Looking at the state of public discourse and the rise of right wing extremists, I don't think bringing all the nazi's and other haters into the light of the internet has helped. That shit is definitely growing.

[-] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 6 months ago

It's funny how that logic only seems to apply to Nazis in Elon's world.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago

I also like-

let him be crushed by the comments and Community Notes

...which still leave the tweet up where everyone can see it and no one will even see those if the tweet is embedded elsewhere.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Handing them a platform is the exact opposite of “crushing” them. What does crushing them mean in the context of online discourse? That people don’t like what’s being said but absolutely nothing is done to stop the speaker from carrying on and continuing to speak? How are they “crushed”? I’m sure spanking them with downvotes will hurt their feelings?

The opportunity to crush them was taking their soapbox away. Giving it back to them is the exact opposite of that. Internet downvotes are absolutely meaningless.

[-] rusticus@lemm.ee 17 points 6 months ago

“He’s not a Nazi!!”

-other Nazis (with a wink)

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

Elon Musk [...] Hitler-Loving White Supremacist

[-] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 14 points 6 months ago

Anyone who’s still on Twitter either doesn’t care, doesn't think or is actively part of the problem

[-] desconectado@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

I am in academia, and I hate how everyone in my field interacts there. Even my supervisor posts relatively important news there (new papers published or conferences etc).

I used to check it without logging in. But now I can't see a thread without logging in. From all the fields, I thought academia was the first to leave, but no. I tried the mastodon but it is still a ghost town..

[-] TammyTobacco@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 months ago

Is it okay to use Twitter to look at gay porn?

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I mean sure why not, but I'm sure there are better sources for it though, no?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

No. But trans porn, yes. In fact, I encourage you to send as much of it in response to Elon's posts as you can.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 12 points 6 months ago

Makes sense. He let Nick's Hitler-loving buddy Kanye back on a while back.

[-] kumatomic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 6 months ago

If you're still in Twitter then you're saying you're complacent with Nazis.

[-] Scrollone@feddit.it 4 points 6 months ago

If you use Twitter, you support the Nazis.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

The EU needs to just fine this fucker into the earth

[-] bender223@lemmy.today 8 points 6 months ago

So Twitter is Nazi Twitter now?

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Just catching on now?

[-] TheJims@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Elon Twittler

[-] moon@lemmy.cafe 1 points 6 months ago

It has been, where have you been?

[-] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 7 points 6 months ago

Turds of a feather.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 months ago

I still have twitter installed because too lazy to uninstall, I guess, but it always was a cesspool, but at least I got nice tweets from humor accounts.

Over the last year, the recommended tweets went from funny satirical stuff to full right-wing fox news shit FAST, and all pushed and supported by Elon himself.

At least 2-3 times per week I get a recommended post from Elon and it's always an "amazing!" reply to some right wing conspiracy bullshit post.

[-] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 7 points 6 months ago

How shocking. Why is he even involved in these decisions. Attention?

[-] rusticus@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

He’s reinstating his own account?

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

well it's the Nazi social media platform, of course he would.

I'm pretty sure he likes the letter X so much because it's the letter that's most similar to the swastika.

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Because of course he will
