Wasn’t adding engagement numbers to each tweet one of the first things he added? I remember thinking “who the fuck wants to see that?” But I guess to people like him that was important at the time? Huh.
Drumpf is obsessed with rally size, skuM is obsessed with twitter engagement. Rotten tomatoh, decomposing tomahto.
So reading all the comments here:
X is far Right, conservatives - bad.
Lemmy is far Left, liberal - good.
You both sound as bad as each other.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’
— Isaac Asimov
No no you see once in Lemmy you can engage in the communist left vs liberal center-left battles. It’s turtles all the way down.
The horseshoe theory holds true in many cases. Far ends of the spectrum have more in common with eachother than they do with the people on the middle. Antisemitism is a good example of something you find in both extremes. Calls for violence is another example.
You know the Palestinians, who are currently being genocided with American weapons and money, are semites right?
How does this relate to what I said?
Seems like you were using antisemitism as shorthand for antizionism
I’m talking about the hatred of jews.
Is holding israel accountable for its genocide “hatred of Jews”?
I haven’t said a world about Israel.
False premise… not wanting Palestinian babies to be slaughtered en masse is not anti-Semitism. Fuck that.
There isn’t a far right and “far left” equivalency - one side are fascists and the other are anti fascists. Opposition of objective evil is NOT an extreme, it’s a baseline position.
Quiet propaganda, like this comment, did a lot to bring our broken society to this point.
Antisemitism is a good example of something you find in both extremes. Calls for violence is another example.
Israel is doing genocide but the Jews are real victims of US political discourse
Have your fun here on the internet today, but just remember this “high” when your grandkids tell you you’re not invited to Christmas one day. The people around you see the garbage you are in full color. They see the world you didn’t care to save on their behalf. Enjoy that fucking loneliness and crawl to your forums for the only illusion of validation you’ll have left at that point, from a fucking bot.
Chud.
How your comment reads to the rest of us:
"Wrong reason people don’t like twitter - bad
Wrong reason people like lemmy - good
You both sound the same to me"
If we’re being honest, they’re both echo chambers, but one of decidedly more malevolent than the other.
Lemmy is definitely not an echo chamber. As a leftist there’s a ton of liberal simp vooooooote blue no matter who bullshit, followed by blaming everyone but their shitty ass candidate and even shittier ass party for the loss.
The right wing in contrast is in unison lining up to fellate trumps little mushroom.
“So reading all the comments here:”
Already told on yourself - We all know you can’t read.
don’t look guys! I totally did not piss my pants!
– Elon Musk
Nazi, who inherited his generational fortune through slave labor, makes people uncomfortable. They leave. Nazi lies about being weird and/or a Nazi.
Insists being a Nazi should not influence anything and demands people and ad money returns.
How long until he sues users to return like he is with advertisers?
Probably in 2025 when he moves all government communication to X because “it’s more efficient”.
And we thought ID.me was bad…
LOL… is he hiding cause of an exodus, or because of the bot farm he ran for the elections?
X is done.
Oh I hope this is true.
In the future I hope they do studies on what percentage of nazi content is necessary to destabilize a platform and get an established base of regular people and companies to flee.
Yep. Fortunately for Elon (and, you know, fascism) he doesn’t need it any more. For Elon, it is already ‘Mission Accomplished’. The richest, most thin-skinned losers on Earth already control the biggest economy and the biggest military. What more could that shitstain hope to get out of Twitter?
Well now he’s calling for a new election in the UK (presumably to put the right wing bac in) so looks like he’s not happy with just proxy ruling America.
Well, you have to remember, he’s an entitled NepoBaby manchild who grew up rich off an emerald mine in Apartheid South Africa, failed upwards into every position he’s ever held after blowing shit tons of money into failing companies, claims he knows more about manufacturing than anyone else despite his products getting recalled almost weekly and openly flaunting safety standards over the color of safety gear, and just overall is a massive dweeb who shills failed crypto scams and political grifts over on the Social Media platform he spent Too Much Money™️ on.
So yeah, of COURSE he thinks he can shadow-run 2 governments at once by funding Fascist takeovers. He’s just that stupid and entitled. And when it all blows up in his face one day, all I will do is laugh.
The fact that Elon Musk has time to shadow run GOVERNMENTS while ALSO being CEO of THREE Companies is PROOF that ceos EARN their Billions of Dollars with how much Harder they work!
Haha right you are. It is in his nature, I suppose, to grasp and grasp after already being the richest person in history. In a better world, we would put people like Musk in a nice, humane institution.
Or a nice, sharp guillotine
And he’s dancing around Ukraine and Putin. This guy is so entitled.
It served its purpose.
Let that sink in.
I hope so, although it might serve as an easy way for companies to bribe the first lady Musk for favours with Trump
Might as well make “Biggest Donor” a cabinet position at this point
Gold Sponsor!
Release the X files, Elon.
Now do this to Tesla. Make owning a Tesla make you a pariah.
It already does.
Sorry to people that haven’t sold theirs yet.
They haven’t even been out a year. Their user agreement stipulates they can’t resell them yet
I wonder what thing TrumpEtAL is going to do to require people to create X accounts.
And then what thing that TrumpEtAL will do to make it so that his enemies can’t sign up and hence be in trouble with TrumpEtAL.
This just in, lying piece of shit liar lies about something again. 😆
Elon’s lost the plot. It’s a joy to watch.
No he hasn’t, shitter served its purpose, to sway an election.
Implying he ever had it
That’s part of the joy, he bought the plot and still managed to lose the plot so quickly it’s easy to argue he never had it to begin with.
He paid billions to play himself.
He paid billions (largely of other people’s money) to influence the US election and world politics. He succeeded. He won.
I disagree that him owning Twitter causes Trump to win. I have not heard any credible source make this claim. This sounds like 4D chess nonsense. He clearly did not want to own Twitter and didn’t know what to do with it either once he did and still had no clue how to use it.
Whatever responsibility can be placed on Twitter it would be them deplatforming him, allowing voters to forget how insane he is. This occurred prior to his purchase.
Rather than attempting to lay the blame for trumps second election on platforms, we need to come to terms with accepting that this is the direction that the majority of American’s wanted. This includes those who did not vote, since their apathy allowed Trump to win.
A plurality of Americans are very very dumb. The entire world knows this. We pretend they just don’t get us, know us, etc but we cannot ignore the reality exposed by these election outcomes.
I don’t think it can be proven, just like bezos owning the Washington post can’t be proven to sway things.
A bunch of billionaires owning consolidated media, what could go wrong?!
Trust me. Whether we can prove it or not, the whole purpose of buying Twitter was to kneecap the “left” in organizing (sorry but most are actually liberals, especially the PMC echo chamber that was Twitter and is now becoming Bluesky), push nazi content, and sway the election. Supposedly he’s going after the UK election too but I’ll be honest I haven’t been paying attention to that. A whole bunch of major democracies had elections this year. He swayed the most important one.
Oh I don’t think it was a major reason. He may have regretted it at first but that may have been bullshit. Now he’s one of the most powerful people in the world, politically, until Trump turns on him.
What a dipshit
Trump won the election, this gereatric nepo baby will be well paid for his services
Twitters is a just a pokemon card for him and he used it well.
Who is the geriatric one?
Both is them but based on context of the above. Comment, telsa tubby is who I was referring to
Hardly a geriatric. They are as GenX as it gets.
Boomers are the ones currently in the Geriatric territory.
Don’t take it personally… But for people under 30, people above 30 are gereatric
Also genX post covid has been booming extra hard lol
I’m 47 and my 14-year-old daughter gets upset when I call myself an old man, so I’m not sure I’m in agreement with you.
And it’ll happen to you one day too
If over 30 is considered geriatric to you and assuming 21 is graduating from child to adult, you’re telling me that in your mind that people are only normal adults for 9 years?
My point being it is matter of perspective but y’all got worked up pver it…
30 maybe too low but over 50 is pretty safe bet. I don’t see anything controversial with that this take.
Bold words coming from a toddler.
