Man I’d pay money for him to do the same thing to the totally democratic election commission of Pakistan.

But that would involve getting rid of a useless thing which I don’t think Musk is physically capable of doing lol

If 4chan made Trump win in 2016, Twitter might make Trump win in 2024. Which is a scary thought. Just imagine the level of control one rich man can have over the information highway, Twitter, one of the biggest social media sites in the world, used still by many politicians, journalists and reporters on both sides. It’s happening.

Twitter made Trump win in 2016. Like, did people seriously forget about „Trump tweeted“ headlines that dominated daily news for years? The same news that would then claim a small obscure website like 4Chan made Trump president single-handedly. I mean I almost can‘t blame you for memory holing those years, but claiming Twitter wasn‘t absolute dog water before Musk is simply wrong.

Weirdfish ,

In a documentary made during the 2016 election cycle Trump talks about how much better his PR team is because he doesn’t have to use traditional channels to reach his base, he can just tweet it when ever he wants to tell the world something.

He was very much using twitter as a primary communication channel from the begining, and this time around, he has both twitter and truth social as his basically his own.

Mueller has me convinced Russian social media farms made Trump win.

I’m going to be so happy when Musk gets brought up on election charges.

That would require us to actually have some semblance of regulatory oversight to prevent this kind of behavior by tech companies in the first place.

This country BARELY held together through the fire-hose of falsehoods during the last election. It is mighty bold (and dare I say naive) of you to believe we will be so lucky the next time. I do not share your optimism on either front.

Meh. You worry too much. According to your narrative they were telling us the truth before this…. Haha

Governments have been lying to people since before time was a concept. Its no different now than 400 years ago, we’re just all screaming into the same digital boxes now.

That might never happen if Twitter becomes as obscure as myspace or tumblr.

How much do you think Linda Yaccarino is enjoying her job as CEO?

Donno, I ignore her salary.

Hiccup ,

You mean the person hired to wear the mascot costume? What does she actually do there? It’s still just Elon. Elon should’ve just worn a wig. Would’ve been the same end result and he could save Twitter even more money.

Tbf they’re a social media company. If they shut down completely the world wouldn’t really skip a beat.

They were being fair and balanced, not favoring a particular candidate or party. This of course is not what Musk intended, so they got the axe.

It’s modern social media, not pedalling conspiracy theories is bad for business.

conservative doesn’t like being treated like an equal, decides to abolish the group that produced evidence suggesting equality
