nothing , in Election disinformation from Elon Musk is drawing billions of views on X

Well views, yes. I’m guessing a lot of those are looking for cringe. Still crazy, but I highly doubt the implied claim that he’s influencing billions with some kind of truth.

Advertisers are still fleeing the Nazi bar, because no reputable brand wants their ads next to a tweet from @1488.6mwne that Elon decided to boost.

ABCDE , in Trump holds seemingly pointless press conference filled with false claims

He’s worried that the media attention is not on him.

NegativeInf ,

If he wasn’t a living rerun, maybe more people would give a shit.

Empricorn ,

sigh Yes, he’s genuinely a threat to democracy, and the entire world… But his whole schtick is also really tired, old, and weird.

Clinicallydepressedpoochie ,

The more you think of it, reality TV, is the real threat to the entire world. Trump was boen in the bowels of false expecting and production managers on the cutting room floor making creating narratives and then feeding it to the masses as “reality.” I really dread the advent of the youtube president and maybe if we live in a benevolent world the TikTok president will be ok.

Clinicallydepressedpoochie ,

I also think Kamala doesn’t mind being out in front, which is refreshing. Hilary never wanted to do press during her run, who would, but I don’t know how she thought she could run a campaign like that.

Biden, too, though. Trump was DOA in 2024, he just had to sit back and put his name on the ticket. Sure, after his last debate in 2024 he attempted to make the rounds but it was obvious why he shouldn’t run at that point.

akilou ,

Why was the room full of reporters in the first place? The best move here is to let him rant to an empty room

kylie_kraft , in Trump keeps calling Harris ‘Kamabla’ but nobody seems to know the meaning behind it

I still can’t fucking believe that this verbally incontinent, senile, silver-spoon-deep-throating, walrus-looking, absolute shitbag is the guy we’re fucking up the entire system and body of law to protect, and 50% of the nation is seeing all of this and thinking, “yep, that’s my president.” It’s fucking incredible that a Burger King can operate with our per capita of knuckle-draggers, let alone a country.

There is a person down the street flying a Trump flag.

I hope they get pancreatic cancer. I hope all Trump voters get pancreatic cancer. If they did I might join a religion because it would be a sign of a benevolent god existing.

Samvega ,

I don’t know. I’m not sure that benevolence would include killing people for being stupid and wrong.

I feel that a benevolent god, instead, would ensure that stupid and wrong people were rare, and didn’t harm society with their stupidity.

stoly ,

It’s really an antisocial thing. They want the world in flames so that their own pain burns away.

vanontom ,
@vanontom@lemmy.world avatar

I also think the root is pain, misery, trauma. They choose to hide it, but most importantly blame it on everyone but themselves. They choose the cult to be surrounded by enablers. No need for them to face the truth anymore.

Samvega ,

It seems that many humans place worshipping someone who has power and status over making the lives of themselves and others better.

barsquid ,

As long as that person will harm the groups they are bigoted against.

Nobody , in Trump holds seemingly pointless press conference filled with false claims

I watched a little to see if he was dropping Vance, but it was too low energy to stay interested. Sad!

Empricorn ,

Is that even allowed after they are both part of the ticket and he’s the official Nominee? I realize asking Trump to follow the law is a bold strategy, but…

LifeInMultipleChoice ,

I wonder if they could split regressives in Vance’s state enough to guarantee a loss there if they dropped him

JimmyBigSausage , in Election disinformation from Elon Musk is drawing billions of views on X

People still use X?

littlecolt ,

Sadly yes, JimmyBigSausage. Sadly yes.

@AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca avatar

See this same pointless comment in every thread about twitter. Yes, there are an absolute ton of stupid people in the world. Copy pasting this same shitty comment won’t change that, but hey that gives you free up votes even though that literally doesn’t matter.

JimmyBigSausage ,

As long as shitty people keep making shitty comments that could fuck up this fantastic world, we will continue to resist platforms like X, now controlled by shitty people. Not looking for upvotes, this is Lemmy. So back to your X. Back to your nazi buddies.

todd_bonzalez ,
@todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee avatar

How is pretending that X is irrelevant “resisting X”?

If anything, it comes across as if you are trying to hand wave the issue away. Elon Musk is using the platform to manipulate a huge number of people during an election, and you come in implying that nobody uses X.

There are ~335,000,000 monthly active X users. That’s a significant captive audience to be on the receiving end of right-wing propaganda.

Anyone insinuating that X is not a popular site, and not a vector for election misinformation to propagate, are themselves spreading misinformation, and are ultimately carrying water for propagandists.

Don’t do that.

JimmyBigSausage ,

Noone said it wasn’t a real platform nor popular, it is that we can choose to delete our accounts and not use it because of its owner. Simple, done.

todd_bonzalez ,
@todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee avatar

Nobody said anything about deleting accounts or not using Twitter. You’re just making shit up.

The comment was “People still use X?”, which is clearly a phrased as rhetorical question intended to suggest that people don’t use X anymore. Hundreds of millions of people use X, so this is an outright lie. That it is being used to dismiss allegations of widespread disinformation only makes the lie more problematic.

JimmyBigSausage ,

Obviously you are a young’n and have never heard someone be facetious.

todd_bonzalez ,
@todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee avatar

I understand that it is facetious, but the humor in the statement is predicated on oft-repeated misinformation. The “just a joke” rhetoric doesn’t work on me.

JimmyBigSausage ,

You are defending the use of X which is being used to spread misinformation and my only point is that people should consider NOT using it. I understand that they are using it, which continues to dumbfound me The point is that they are using it and that they should consider not using it!

todd_bonzalez ,
@todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee avatar

I’m not defending the use of X, I’m acknowledging the widespread use of X.

I don’t understand the exercise in deliberately misinterpreting me. Acting like you’re stupid isn’t a good look.

Only lost 1 trial (so far)… for 34 felonies… And now he would like a third popular vote loss. Somehow these weirdos think this is normal. Weird.
