Elon f*cks Twitter

[WolfEyes]

The best spam is the spam that engages you with the can.

Private Charles Lamb, M.A.S.H. 4077TH, would say his replacement was far more engaging than his own woolly little butt.

Elon Musk's idea is quite justified. It is very difficult to express one's opinion and remain unpunished in today's world. Unfortunately, freedom of speech and democracy in social networks rapidly continue to lose meaning and power.

WTF does freedom of speech have to do with social networks (unless owned and run by the government).

And WTF does "democracy in social networks" mean? Literally turning our Republic into a Democracy wherein all political decisions are decided democratically through polls on social media? (Should we go to the moon again? Vote in the next fifteen minutes to decide how billions of dollars should be spent!). Fuck no.

I wonder why we don't have many conservatives posting here?

How the fuck is this guy a conservative? They want all social media to be owned by the government (so that Freedom of Speech applies), and that's not very conservative. Otherwise that freedom of speech thing they mentioned is just a dumb thing to mention about a non-government owned entity.

I asked Google, the source of all knowledge. The first answer has lots of math and graphs so is probably right.

Why are you all responding to an alt-right troll instead of just reporting and moving on?

There is a decent chance they were sincere... just ...foolish. But you are right it's time to move on. And Musk bootlickers aren't all alt-right though many are.

You've been here a decade and ask that? Who knows, people seem to enjoy doing that on SLU/VVO.

Cake or pie? I can tell a lot about you by which one you pick. It may seem silly, but cake people and pie people are really different. I know which one I hope you are, but that's not for me to decide. So, what is it? Cake or pie?

Justified ideas like... monetizing 'approved speech' on a soon to be pay-for subscriber service that bans people for what(advertisers) and how(bot runners) they choose to express themselves, and risking exposing people to actual real world harms by confirming their real identities of people expressing themselves while living in a hostile home or country.

I mean that's something, but it's not 'free' nor 'democratic'.

I can only hope. If twitter forces subscriptions on everyone it will be the end of it.

Because secretly, I am only capable of sustaining myself by feeding on the fires of chaos and discord.

The random paragraph generator made me sad.

1. The tree missed the days the kids used to come by and play. It still wore the tire swing the kids had put up in its branches years ago although both the tire and the rope had seen better days. The tree had watched all the kids in the neighborhood grow up and leave, and it wondered if there would ever be a time when another child played and laughed again under its branches. That was the hope that the tree wished every day as the swing gently swung empty in the wind.

Elon Musk would undo Trumps' ban on Twitter. 'nuff said.

Elon Musk says he would ‘reverse the permanent ban’ of Donald Trump on Twitter.

Mr. Musk has said he wants Twitter to be a forum for debate, and he called the barring of Mr. Trump “morally wrong.” The former president has said he would not rejoin the platform.

That tweet reads like a buzzword soup from someone who had no idea what the hell to put there.

He's received threats from the Russians for supplying Starlink to Ukraine, which allows them to fight the war more efficiently. He also put in a one line patch to eliminate the jamming effects they tried implementing against the Ukrainian Starlink systems.

His response: "If I die, it's been good to know you" (paraphrasing, too lazy to find the quote again.

As much as I detest Elon Musk, this at least is a good thing.
