So much for free speech
At this point we just need a large compiled list of every instance of it. There's so much that I can't think of an example right away.
Still not what free speech means.
But baby trust fund dipshit is begging to get sued again.
It’s not what free speech means, but they’re using his own words against him. Of course we clearly can’t expect any consistency from conservatives, “free speech for me” etc.
I wonder why the guy who bought Tesla might not want the UAW represented on the platform he bought? I can't think of why that might be
In completely unrelated related news:
One of the things their talking about is an increase for workers who deal with electric batteries...
Ah, the "free speech absolutist" doing completely free speech stuff.
Just as much of a Musk hater as the rest of them, but this was posted elsewhere. UAW changed their profile photo at the same time they announced the strike, which triggered the flag on the account. Apparently this is standard with all verified accounts until the photo can be reviewed.
Anywho, fuck Elon Musk!
From the original Intercept article:
This article was updated to include information about a Twitter policy to temporarily remove checkmarks from verified accounts that change their profile pictures. Twitter offered only an auto-response to The Intercept’s request for comment ahead of publication. The article was previously updated to note that Twitter restored UAW’s Twitter verification after publication.
So, a non-article by somebody who didn't do their research and has already resolved itself. Got it!
Twitter offered only an auto-response to The Intercept’s request for comment ahead of publication.
By this, they mean that any media questions to Twitter get auto-responded to with the poop emoji. Because Musk is a child.
Elon Musk is an incompetent sociopathic scammer who got very lucky.
He is not a great engineer, he's a dumbass who got fired from his own company for being incompetent. When the company was bought he raked in the cash from the shares he had, that's all. All his "great ideas" are face palmingly stupid.
He's petty and vengeful. When rescuers were risking their lives getting kids out of a cave denied his stupid idea, he called them a pedophile just because fuck you. That is musk in a nutshell.
He doesn't give a shit about anything or anybody but himself. He forces people to work in near slave like conditions. Do it or get fired and lose your house, or maybe deported. Unions? Fuck your unions, here is a chain lulz.
He. Lies. About. Everything. Probably the only person worse than Trump when it comes to continuous lying. Every promise he made is bullshit. Tesla will.... nope.
He was the bright light behind the decision not to use flame diverters (standard tech from the 60's) when his next SpaceX toy was launched, because it would take too much time to build and it would not be needed... a decision which utterly obliterated the launch platform, pelted even cars on a parking lot 5 kilometers away and polluted the entire surroundings. All because he needs to show the world how big his dick is. Then when the rocket blew up over Mexican territory (nice self destruct that didn't even work) everyone cheered because rockets.. should.... Blow up? Oh yeah, that was by design. WTF?
And as always, he just laughs it off and his fans laugh with him because "it's Elon man, he's cool! He walked in to Twitter with a kitchen sink!" And then proceeded to run the company he paid twice too much for into the ground, it now being worth, what? 30% from what he paid? So like 15% from what it was actually worth? From the second he started he just did the stupid. Firing so many people without even checking if they were needed, causing people to be locked in the buildings, the blue check mark scandal... twitter (not X) is a shit show and will be bankrupt very soon as muskie won't be able to afford to pay back the billions he had to borrow for his little toy.
Fuck everything about this guy, may he step on a Lego every day he gets out of bed.
If you are still on X, then you deserve the world you are struggling in.
It's time to put some of these billionaires in their place. Nationalize his shit, seize his assets, and revoke his passport and citizenship. Fuck Musk, sick of his childish attention seeking bullshit.
Nationalize SpaceX for sure. Let him keep Twitter though, at this point it's such a dumpster fire that it's more of an albatross around his neck than an asset, we don't need the tax payers carrying that shit.
I would say we give him the French treatment. Fucker is just wasting oxygen
Hey the auto workers are striking now... can we just like... do a general strike already?
This dude is such a pussy. I wish he wasn’t terrified to fight Zuckerberg so we could all watch him get his ass kicked.
lol does he not realize that he has delegitimized any credibility his platform once held?
I'm sure they do not care.
Xitter ! love it, now lexicon
Usage: Can’t wait to watch Xitter (pronounced Zit - ter) pop after Musk wrecks the train.
Could we please pronounce it was "Shitter"? Thanks.
This whole incident probably took place from automation. As others have stated they changed the profile photo and the system needs verification. The software probably has a hash value for the photo and when they changed the photo the hash value changed triggering the chain of events. You guys are really hung up on hating him but he probably had nothing to do with it other than the initial design verification.
"To a request for comment, X only sent Ars an auto-response, saying, "Busy now, please check back later." (To be fair, in this case "check back later" is a good summary of what happened.)" 😂
