Elon Musk Is Officially Purchasing Twitter for $44 Billion

[rhett7660]

As clearly outlined by the fact that the N word went up by 500% after Musk took over. They say "free speech" but what they really mean is freedom to spout hate speech.

Use of N-word on Twitter jumped by almost 500% after Elon Musk's takeover as trolls test limits on free speech, report says

Accounts using racist language sent more tweets following the takeover and called on others to do so as well, The Washington Post reported.

Well to be fair, hate speech is still protected. I would be curious to see who is actually using that word? Is it being caught by a hate group, or it is now being used a lot more from folks who commonly use that word to address each other. As a result, you can pick a few of the ones from the hate group and say, look our stats show that it has gone up 500% and here are a few of the examples. Versus, it actually being used 500% more by hate groups.

And trust me when I said those words really really hurt. Once I was asked if I wanted to marry a tick-riddled opossum when I said that I was single and was hoping to be married some day. Was that a stupid thing for that person to say? Yes. Should that person be allowed to say that? Yes.

And if that person called you a the N word, or slammed you with a bunch of anti semitic Jew slangs, threatened to rape or murder you... should that be allowed too? As it stands all of these things are running rampant unchecked on Twitter under "free speech".

Death and rape threats no. But when someone called me and someone else "furryf**kers" he/she should be able to say that. Even though it was very offensive to both me and the other dude involved. Also to clarify, this wasn't on Twitter.

You apparently have never run into the Westboro Baptist Church.

You keep saying this phrase (or minor variations) over and over - why don't you come out and say specifically, exactly what allegations you're making.

Done. Citations to the FBI's false claims about Hunter Biden's laptop and Twitter's complicity in censoring that factual story were provided in this message. You asked for references. Did you read them?

You "disagreed" with that message. Why? Why don't you come out and say specifically, exactly why you are disagreeing with in those factual stories. Is that really the best you have to offer? If you have no interest in an intellectually honest debate, why bother making your request for sources in the first place?

It sounds like some of you in deep denial over the disinformation and censorship those FBI-employed activists did in October, 2020, and you're in denial over Twitter's complicity in those fabrications.

 

[dk001]

Oh the new variation in the Infotainment (current major media) vs factual new reporting vs free speech.

Popcorn! Sweet!

Well? Do you want to marry a tick-riddled opossum? Don’t leave us hanging.

No 😂 I want to get married to a woman.

No 😂 I want to get married to a woman.

Has your curiosity about my attractions been satisfied? 😂

Yes, thank you. 😉

My concern is to learn something from a discussion. I learn nothing from comparing the FBI's abusive censorship of the NY Post to "Bigfoot vs. Aliens". That's not "free speech"; it's just noise. There's no interest in engaging on what actually happened.

I would find it revolting if the FBI attempted to censor Republicans, Democrats, or any other political group. Apathy/denial over what the FBI did is rather revolting. Do you share that concern, @dk001 ?

Sucks.
The FBI censored and major media played infotainment.

This is so incredibly stupid.

"It’s an exceptionally rare thing — in life or in business — that you get a second chance to make another big impression," the chief tweeted. "Twitter made one massive impression and changed the way we communicate. Now, X will go further, transforming the global town square."

She continued, "X will connect us all in ways we’re just beginning to imagine."

Well, that sounds like marketing speak for "we don't know what we're doing yet"!

This is either the transcript of a hostage video and she's sending a coded SOS for help or they've canned her and replaced her with ChatGPT.

I don’t know why Musk believes Twitter can be the global town square if he pushes his own republican agenda. The organiser of the playground must remain neutral.

RIP Twitter! 🙏🏻

RIP Twitter! 🙏🏻

If that was to turn out to be true then Musk would show that he is one of the most stupid and incompetent billionaires on the planet, regardless of his other success because you do not go about spending close to $44 billion on a company only to watch it fail.

So I went to bed and got up to a blue X - I thought it would be black? So there at least is some reference to the past. It’s black at x.com but blue inside Twitter. I’d keep it blue on the direct Twitter access though.



Musk needed a platform for his all-in-one app; one user name and one passcode platform for everything. The actual Twitter function is not so much as important as the building block for his idea since the days of X/PayPal.



I see https protocol now works, at the beginning only the old http protocol redirected.



I actually find all this refreshing. With a future of a 30k constellation of V2 Starlink satellites that reach anywhere, Musk actually has his Global Town Hall!



Whatever you think of him, Elon Musk is a dynamic individual.

 

[Fat_Guy]

And yes, as most of you just think about Twitter, Musk has the potential to take a huge share of the global telecom market to Starlink while adding purchase and banking and all sorts of usage along with it and without you ever to need to log in or enter your passcode.



Interesting times ahead for sure.

I certainly hope not.

That's the problem right there. It will be his global town hall.
