Is the Elon Musk Twitter takeover a big deal, politically?

[Queen Margo]

For something that is a stupid investment, and also just a big noise signifying nothing, the Left sure had a bit of a fit about it, lol.

They are easily triggered!

I ran my own private board for years with minimal moderation and few rules. It was certainly fun, but it didn't work. Musk will probably find out the same thing on a grander scale if he brings back Tweety and disinformation campaigns.

I was an Admin for info clearing house, late 90s and the 'let the people' speak ethic led to it being taken over by antisemites and other conspiracists.

Yep. Mine devolved into one very motivated person constantly trying to piss everyone off while breaking the few rules in spectacular fashion. The board became mostly about that poster, who eventually had to be banned. After this poster was gone, activity dropped off, and the board fizzled. It was a lot of fun while it lasted, though.

Guess the poster should have not been banned?

It's amazing how so many trump worshippers, Josie are so excited about Musk's takeover as if it's the panacea for all their ills.

trump incited a violent coup. He passed on bullshit cures about Covid.

He deserved to be banned. He was killing people.

It's amazing how sociopathic trump voters are - all they want is revenge against their political enemies. That's it. No matter how much harm it does to America.

How Republicans sleep at night? Must be some heavy Ambien.

The level of escalation involved could be its own thread. I was going for a minimally moderated board that didn't even require registration. It worked until it didn't. It was fun, though, and I learned a lot.

Most things are like that, you know the saying, all good things must end. I was on a different site, had much fun, had many gunning for me waiting to make a slip up. I did, and got banned. They shut down the political side of that forum shortly after. Not because of me, but I think to all the social media BS.

Musk has become very erratic lately. I said before he's beginning to remind me of Howard Hughes. Use to be brilliant, but as time went on insanity took over.

I think if Musk takes Twitter private, and stops all advertising on the site, and turns it into a pay service??? Politics or no politics... Trump or no Trump he'll kill Twitter, it'll lose 10's of millions of users.

Very few will pay for a service that use to be free.

I don't think Musk understands this.
Didn't he recently say that most people could afford $100,000 for a ride into outer space?

But we'll see, he's been saying a lot of weird things lately.

Yeah....didn't he refer to one of the men who helped rescue kids in a Thai cave as a "pedo guy"?
Musk doesn't randomly blurt idiocies out on a Trumpian scale......yet......but give him time...LOL

Yeah.. Recently he's coming across as an attention whore.. He's just looking for press coverage, saying things to get attention..

That's dangerous for a guy in his position.. He should just keep his mouth shut, make money for him and his people, and stay out of the limelight..

But like I said.. He's becoming erratic...

It already is politically. Heads are exploding at Twitter.

LOL... Like I said in another post... When Musk throws you Trumpsters under the bus, I'm going to love pointing to these threads... Lol

He's becoming erratic as hell.. I know he's now your guys newest savior.. But when all this blows up in your faces, yes I will be here to say 'I told you so'...

You guys constantly hitch your wagons to people who eventually throw you under the bus... You're a gullible bunch..

He supports free speech, something you don't. So he threw you under the bus.

 

[KevinKohler]

No. It's twitter.

 

[SenorXm/Sirius]

I most certainly do support free speech...

But companies TOS is up to that company... Go on a rant here, threaten people, drop the n word here and there, threaten a Mod... I dare you...

Na

Most of us just laugh at the piss poor excuse of a leader Trump actually is

 

[yankintx]

Trump has his own social media platform, which according to him is wildly successful. Why would he need Twitter? Are you saying Trump is currently impotent, powerless and leashed unless Twitter saves him?

Because the man is full of shit, his supporters know it. But Trump pings liberals, and Righties luv it, rather petty yes.
