Classic free speech move
Can someone link to it here, since this site's not controlled by a neonazi?
I'm actually surprised at how benign this report is. It's all stuff we more or less already know. I wanted to see the couches.
Just to add, link to the author's article here https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/read-the-jd-vance-dossier
Thanks!
Or a summary would be nice.
Sort of funny when you consider all of the information in the dossier was public information already...
For profit speech absolutist.
I'm so fucking glad he bought the site to protect free speech...
What a unwavering free speech absolutist that he claims he is.
At this point he's just pushing potential users away. I wonder if he's given up on it and is just holding on to it until the election is completed.
At this point it's starting to look like he's intentionally tanking Twitter to remove a major platform where people can organize.
He's making moves intentionally stupid that destroy the Twitter brand that was built up.
People have been saying this since he was forced into buying the platform. I initially thought that could be true too.
As time has gone on, however, I'm starting to think he's just that incompetent
Yes, this is what spoilt brats do. There is no masterplan here.
Nah, he is just too incompetent to completely run it into the ground.
He might be doing both, but mostly with a dash of the fact he’s a spoiled self-destructive moron. So if he can’t have it, no one can.
Cool. Do Facebook next.
😅
Never attribute to malice what can reasonably be attributed to the stupidity, hate, and pig-headedness of an exceptionally fragile billionaire.
Unless tou know they are malicious narccisists, them attributing it to malice is the logical thing to do. Plus hate and pig-headedness are common movitators for malice...
Pissing away 40bn - 15% of your net worth to own the libs by destroying a company you were forced to buy requires an incredible degree of stupidity. Imagine the damage a remotely competent malicious narcissist could do with that kind of money.
For context, the 2016 election cost $6.5bn - for both sides, presidential and congressional elections - that comfortably buys you a quarter century of elections - and if the GOP has power for that long, at this point, there won't be another election to fund.
Musk clearly has sub-normal IQ - there's no shame in that, but he has no shortage of other reasons to be ashamed of himself.
It’s not some brilliant 4D chess he’s just a fucking idiot nepo baby.
It's 7-D chess. He wants to use x-Twitter as a tax wire-off.
Who even uses Twitter anymore? I stopped browsing it more than a year ago after they borked the public API so it's not usable any longer. I'm not signing up just to browse tweets, F that.
I love to see free speech absolutism being so unshakable.
Oh noes, suspended from Shitter.
I love myself a bit of Streisand effect in the late afternoon
"Freedom of Speech"
