This is INSANE we should be so much more furious about musk than we are
swankpoppy • points (11 children)
Remember when Elon went a huge rant about how Twitter should be a place of free speech and free media, defended by the first amendment? And how they wouldn’t censor opinions? And we all kind of knew that just meant he could use it as a propaganda machine, but that he was using free speech as an excuse to get his way? Well that same guy banning accounts based on free speech used against him by his personal opponents sure is a bad look after all that noise…

This was shortly after he was spotted at the Super Bowl sitting next to Rupert Murdock. This is exactly what he told him to do and told him to say. Rupert knows how important controlling the news is and that Twitter is THE news for the younger generation. They don't give a flying fuck about hypocrisy, and probably find it funny.
Dottsterisk • points
In situations like these, blatant hypocrisy is often an expression of power.
They don’t even need to pretend to be consistent, logical, or fair. They can do what they want.

I have a few friends that are addicted to twitter and they’ve become way more right wing since Musk took it over. I watched them get brainwashed in real time and they didn’t realize it was happening because they said they were just there for sports.

Rupert was also with Larry Ellison on the first day of Donald Trump's second term in the Oval Office. Like the guy who bought CBS, CNN, and TikTok USA. Also, Zuckerberg put Dana White, the UFC guy and very close to Trump, on the Meta board—the Meta that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

Kinda related but it’s going to be a great day when Rupert Murdoch croaks. The family better cremate him when that happens because in a just world people would piss and shit all over his gravesite for what he’s done to media.

It's not hypocritical to them, it's just "I get mine," and makes perfect sense to them to flip when it's convenient.
Basically it's not hypocritical as much as it's unethical.

He wants absolute free speech for himself, and absolutely none of it for those who are critical of him or his actions.

“Free speech” to him is just the ability to say the N word and disparage trans people.
Cephalopod_Joe • points (1 child)
"Free speech" to the right has always been about them being able to say whatever they like without any pushback or criticism. Their idea of "free speech" fundamentally requires censorship.
manachar • points
I think this is partially their position, but it’s important to dig a bit deeper.
Free speech for conservatives means freedom to say things that support their in group and especially the idea that their in group is or should be in charge. It’s about affirming a social and economic hierarchy.
For example, their humor is highly based on punching down to out groups that are “bad”.
They only “punch up” when they see the “up” as an out group unworthy of wealth or power.
So they’ll satirize “out of touch Hollywood elites” or even just call them ugly names.
But they aren’t too big into anything that questions their avowed hierarchy.
They felt that “politically correct” was preventing them from trying to keep out groups repressed or ridiculed into conformity.
Make fun of the family that has weird smelling food long enough and they stop bringing it in for lunch at school or work.
Basically, I have learned that if conservatives like something it’s probably about affirming their beliefs. Anything that challenges it is unacceptable and should be not spoken about.
It’s why Gay Pride parades piss them off.

the 'free speech absolutist' had my account shadowbanned almost from first tweet, then my account was just plain banned. all I did was quote him (verbatim), which ultimately cost me three accounts. he's so sensitive! you'd think he'd want people to know that one day everyone can live in a penthouse, and that he's going to build 'self-replicating cities on the moon' and launch 'filling stations' all over the galaxy! but, noooooooooooooo...

This is your daily reminder for those of you that still:
Have a Twitter account
Own and buy Tesla’s
Own and buy Tesla and SpaceX stock
Could sell/delete your account/block the domains TODAY. And I know you people are out there. Twitter still has too much traffic and traction in our world. When I go outside, there is a Tesla parked every 2 or 3 blocks.
Undeniably, there are a tremendous amount of people that hate this guy and what he is doing to our world yet STILL puts money into his pocket and keeps him relevant. Just stop. We could make this guy irrelevant tomorrow if all the people who have strong opinions of the guy, would just stop inflating his bank account.

He definitely will not and I have no idea how anyone can be so naive as to think he will be given the long, medium, and short view of justice in this world. Nothing short of actual revolutionary action in the streets (we’re talking French Revolution here), where people are being extra-judiciously incarcerated and murdered, will produce the result you are suggesting confidently will occur within the next 10 years.
we’re in a cold civil war and it’ll be over by the end of the decade
Yes, one that so far that people like him own the board, own the minds of the people, the opinion shaping platforms, and the infrastructure of communication. It’s a Cold War where he wins it in 10 years if you don’t make it a hot war now. That is why you sound so naive.

It was both incredibly cringe and nauseating at the same time, but because he’s one of the richest people in the world who owns an entire social media platform that he can use to launder his image and spread narratives, he’s basically covered in Teflon.

We're 8 days from deciding our future president and the left candidate had his account suspended "by mistake"

Nah, Meta most likely has been on it for a long time and people weren't noticing.
Bolsonaro's supporters are pretty stupid, same as Trump's. If they found out Flavio has been abusing kids a lot of people would still vote for him. His supporters are mostly dumbasses. The ones who are smart and still vote for Flavio are just really bad people.
There's a good chance that once Flavio's wins, he will do everything in his power to no leave anymore - the Bolsonaros love to imitate Trump.
The far right already has the senate and congress. If they're allowed to get the presidency as well, we're looking at a very possible dictatorship.

It's not about preventing everyone from seeing it, they're shielding their low information voters.

They don't care about us non-loyalists.

But the news of this getting blocked most certainly will show up on peoples’ feeds. That’s the definition of the Streisand effect.
farnsw0rth • points (1 child)
The news of the ban might Streisand its way into people’s feeds. The account is still banned though, so anything it wanted to say through that account will not.
Like, I could like “hot goddamn, did you hear they banned 1984 and Mein Kampf at the same time? Fuckin crazy, amirite” except I still can’t acquire and read those books so all I know is they are banned, not what they contain.

HardcoreKaraoke • points (1 child)
The Streisand Effect only matters when it is covered by the mainstream media and spreads throughout social media. TikTok shutting down the ad isn't going to be covered in traditional media and it isn't going to be a story that X promotes either.
When every major social media platform and most traditional media outlets are owned by MAGA sycophants it's easy for stomp out any Streisand Effect. You won't see it covered outside of maybe MSNOW but it won't be close to the headlines with everything else going on.
Also the average TikTok user would be more swayed by seeing the actual ad. They don't care about traditional media.
DingleDangleTangle • points (1 child)
This is 100% going to be covered in traditional media. CBC has an article about it already.
Banning it was a stupid move, I hadn't even heard of this movie until it just showed up on reddit because of this ban.

And herein is the issue. When the republicans screeched about “free speech” on social media, they were mad that vaccine deniers were being shut out.

There is no valid argument other than fear of reprisal, which is EXACTLY why it is important.

Elon Reeve Musk…. What can I say about the elongated muskrat that hasn’t already been said.
Well. I don’t like punching down, and I’ve never met the man, so I can’t speak to his personality.
I don’t like disparaging someone based on appearance, so I won’t speak to his… countenance…
I know that this person is the child of blood money.
I know that he favors an apartheid state.
I know he does not have compassion for his children, let alone his fellow man.
I know that he uses Nazi rhetoric.
I know he uses mysoginistic rhetoric.
I know he supports those who frequently showed up in the Epstein lists, which at the very least implies a complicity with children being sexually assaulted and killed.
I know there are a litany of offenses against humanity that this man does on a pretty consistent and frequent basis with no evidence showing any desire to learn or grow or change into something better.
If my neighbor, my friend, my hairdresser, tattoo artist, doctor, teacher, police officer, ANYBODY in my vicinity was exhibiting behavior that Elon Musk does… well honestly idk what I would do. I think I would likely try to get him some help. Maybe an inpatient treatment facility, and maybe they can work on his many many deeply seated personality issues. Narcissist for sure but the choices that he makes… it points to a deeply sad, broken shell of a man, and I can’t begin to fully analyze without likely years of intensive therapy.
But that’s the rub though, because he’s not just some guy who needs help. There are reference images and videos on YouTube that have to explain.. just how much money he has because it’s so much that humans literally struggle to comprehend it.
If Elon musk was a saint and a holy man. If he was pious and caring and philanthropic all of a sudden but retained his wealth as it stands, that sin alone would condemn him.
Add in everything else, and I think it’s entirely reasonable that Elon Reeves Musk is seen as a dog shit eating, Nazi dick sucking, pedophile protecting, living embodiment of a cancer on the body of human and biological evolution as a whole, and a scumbag who’s vibe matches that of an amoeba being shit out of a maggot’s ass who itself is being shit out of a hyena’s ass.

Well let's test it out. I'm already banned from politics and pics for unexplained reasons, so here we go.
Elon Musk looks like an overstuffed cardboard box wearing a "big boy" toupee, and generally has the expression of being 10 seconds away from being medically required to sniff another one of his own farts. Also he has no friends and will die alone.

My son told an AI bot to kill itself which resulted in an immediate ban of his account as well as most of my accounts which were loosely linked to his (it was originally tied to my email address and I gave him the account to use and transferred to his email). 10+ year old accounts with no inappropriate content, permanently banned, and they ignored my appeals.

Reddit uses to be a pretty good aggregator for news and how it was trending and going viral. Then they suddenly removed all and now I almost never see any news in my algorithm and usually the same stuff.

Yeah this is exactly what I'm talking about. I used to be able to scroll Reddit for 10 mins and get a sense of the leading news stories and that's just not entirely true anymore. It feels like the most banal stuff is given equal, if not more importance now.

Michael Dell and Larry Ellison are buddies with Elon Musk so of course they're going to help each other.
Billionaires collude all the time. They're not against organizing against something. They only hate it when labor organizes against them.

TikTok was banned by the US Congress, Tumpp "un-banned" it, so now they're gonna do what he wants every time he commands.

Trump unbanned it and sold it to his friends. The Ellisons

Incoming passing the buck between whitehouse and musk on who was responsible for this.
Then for musk to use autism and AI psychosis as a cop out

If you are still using TikTok you are part of the problem at this point.
It’s partially controlled by the ellisons and is another means to spread bullshit

Wow. How accurate is this documentary? Musk still hasn’t filed the liable suit he was threatening - because discovery…
It must be more than just damning, it might be very accurate.
drmojo90210 • points
From a PR/reputational perspective, threatening to sue someone for libel is usually far more effective than actually suing them. The threat of a lawsuit becomes part of the news story and adds weight to the person's denials. Then they can just wait for the news cycle to move on and no one notices that they never followed up on the lawsuit threat. Libel suits are extremely difficult to win in court anyway and they just keep the scandal in the news longer than you want it to be. Plus, as you said, a lawsuit requires discovery, which means even more embarassing details about your personal life come out. Look at that shit with Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Both of them came out of that trial looking a lot worse than they did before.

this guy is trying so hard to make it so less people see this film. 4hours long. The dude begged to go Epstein island and join the parties, you wouldn't be doing that unless you knew exactly what happens at those parties.

Man, fuck Hollywood Reporter and any other site that tries to force me to turn off the ad blocker. The internet is virtually unusable without an ad blocker.
