  • Brazil asked Elon to ban 7 fascist accounts spreading disinformation
  • Elon refused pretending it was a free speech issue even though he complied multiple times with similar requests from right wing govts

Gotta say, this is new information to me. I’ve briefly looked at the stories and the banning of twitter, but I never realized this was entirely because Elon wouldn’t ban accounts as he does for right wing government.

Elon seems like a kinda shitty guy.

I mean it genuinely is because of the “kinda” and “seems”

“Elon is a shitty guy” is one of the coldest takes out there at this point

He censors way more than old twitter, and is way less transparent about it.

Old twitter complied with 51% of legal requests, Elon’s twitter is at 71%. Old twitter complied with 53% of government take down requests, Elon’s is at 76%.

Old twitter also used to post a high detailed transparency report every 6 months. This one from Elon’s twitter is light on detail, and the first in 2+ years.

So he’s a lying liar and even his own data proves it.

Definitely has managed to invest in some incredibly profitable stuff but he also says and does the absolutely stupidest shit imaginable. It’s astounding

a lot of that profit is derived from a set of rug pulls that only work because he had the money of the victims to keep pushing his image in the media

He wants Twix to be Truth Social, but also profitable, and doesn’t understand why he can’t have it both ways.

Back in late 2022 I was in an argument with my (adult) nephew about how the government isn’t limiting free speech on Twitter. I was explaining how “the free market” is deciding whether Elon will sink or swim. He just could not understand how the government -wasn’t- responsible.

…idfk

(Yes, there were some Governmental take down requests, but none of them seemed very sus to me)

I had a similar discussion with some people at a barber shop back when Pre-Elon Twitter banned Trump. They were complaining about free speech and I asked if they knew what it actually meant (in the US). When I explained that we are ONLY guaranteed free speech from the gov’t, and that Twitter was a private business and could ban whoever they want, the same way this barber shop could tell someone not to ever come back everyone got real quiet like “oh shit I have to rethink my whole world view”. I actually got thanked at another time by one employee for telling them how it actually works.

Now that’s just kind of rude toward toddlers. He acts like what he is… a Ketamine addled, narcissistic billionaire, who got lucky in life and thinks he crafted his own destiny all by his own hands.

Fair enough, fair enough. Toddlers are way more pleasant than him, even when they’ve shat their pants. I apologise to all toddlers.

Ketamine is a dissociative which strips away what you know about things, sort of like how a child doesnt know things. So in a way, he’s actually a toddler.
