Elon Musk is in “Bonkersland”?

Free speech for he, not for thee.

 

Tweets is still up and the guy has been tweeting pretty much non stop so it must have been a quick suspension or maybe and accident?

 

Don't know. A bunch of journalists were banned too.

 

Are they still banned? What did they do?

 

Yes so far as I know; nothing that they know of. They are critical of Ackman and Musk.

 

Weird, what journalist?

 

They're back now, but Steven Monacelli, Ken Klippenstein, Alan MacLeod, and others. Not sure that the Brazilian ones are back yet.

 

Ugh. Why did they have to be reinstated already? Musk being an anti-free speech tyrant is such an important narrative that people everywhere need to accept.

 

You're doing a great job polishing his rocket. It's very shiny.

 

Did anyone from X confirm that were suspended? Could these people be claiming their accounts are shut down to stir the pot? Not saying that's what is happening but it seems weird they are getting suspended and the reestablished pretty much right away. Suspension are dumb. Imo

 

Says the guy who still actively uses his X account daily lol. mUsK iS a FrEe sPeEcH MoNsTeR

 

It is not very effective to mock someone as if they said something they didn't. You don't even try.

 

Yes, Musk "looked into it" and they came back.

 

About 60% of the was through this book.

First, highly encourage all to read. Explains him well. Issacson is a good writer. And he has a whole lot of thoughts that at least make a lot of sense, and a lot I may start subscribing to. Second, the man lives for drama. It is literally fuel to his soul. I often wonder if some of this just isn't his need for confrontation that he starts these. Third, he's borderline multiple personality and this could be one of the versions of him that hates free speech while other parts of him love it.

There is just simply to rhyme or reason to him.

 

I'm assuming he was just yanking their chain, flexing his power.

 

Honestly, he probably got pissed off and reacted, then later either calmed down or someone that can talk to him calmed him down.

I can somewhat understand why an apartheid reference would piss him off.

 

Well at least in the end he did the right thing. Did he say what happened?

 

“As if they said something they didn’t”…rich coming from you! There’s nothing wrong with people noticing how important Musk being proven as a free speech hypocrite is to you.

 

Nothing will ever be perfect, but at least Twitter/X has improved overall on the free speech aspect under Musk compared to the last regime who unquestionably were stifling free speech/expression to a much greater extent.

 

Neutral.
