Election interference charges should be filed…soon?

EmpathicVagrant ,

Give them six years and depending on the election results and whether the SC feels like supporting democracy - after that it’ll be maybe considered that someone might wag their finger about it.

Merrick Garland: 🔥“This is fine”🔥

Adorable that you think billionaires spreading disinformation during an election legally counts as election interference. Is this your first election?

This is what he bought twitter for. This is what he wanted. I hope there aren’t any musk stans left who would be reading this, but in cas you’re not aware, this is the value of twitter

TommySoda ,

When Musk was first buying Twitter, this was one of the things I told people he would do. This was his plan from the beginning and seeing people, especially my friends and coworkers, finally realize this is cathartic and disappointing at the same time.

Just think how outrageous it would have been if Jack Dorsey did the same thing. He probably would have been arrested, or at least dragged to Congress many times.

And about 10 people changed their minds because of them

There’s got to be some way of holding him accountable. There’s the saying that if someone who knows the law well enough examined the course of an average person’s day they’d be able to find some law broken if they wanted to. Can we really not do a goddamn thing about this shitbag?

jjjalljs ,

I mean there’s always stuff to be done. He’s still a bag of meat that dies if it gets run over by a truck. But legal options? Trickier. He has a lot of money and that buys protection.

People still use X?

Sadly yes, JimmyBigSausage. Sadly yes.

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 ,

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.

pineapple_pizza ,

Who cares, they’re all bots

RememberTheApollo_ ,

Yeah, but look what’s happening. There’s articles about it effectively “re-tweeting” it to people who don’t even use twitter and we’re talking about it here. His views aren’t just confined to the bots on twitter.

Who backed Elon buying Twitter again?

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.

nothing ,

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.
