The bastard used to call his plans for future Twitter to become a platform of freedom of speech.

But instead, he turned it into a nazi infested Zionist propaganda platform.

UPDSTE: account was reinstalled later, blaming the suspension on technical glitches

Only full on morons have ever believed anything this idiot says.

bountygiver@lemmy.ml · 8 pts · 359d (1 reply)

He literally promised to get rid of bots when he bought it, now X has more bots that it ever had (they even get their own little blue checkmarks).

BeefandSquints@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 358d

It is now a truly useless platform.

Specifically, people without any STEM knowledge. Anyone in STEM knew Musk was full of shit from day one.

BeefandSquints@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 358d

I wish that was true. I worked in STEM for years and so many of my coworkers would have paid to inhale his farts.

The world is sadly full of those people who still worship the bastards.

@BeefandSquints @faab64

Not sure which account. I see a few on x which are still active.

Elon musk is a cunt, maggot and useless piece of shit. He is 1 of 4 people that control all major social media.

He is a fascist, racist, and grifter who’s only ever made his billions by stealing them you in the form of EV programs paid for by your government (and the fucking losers who invested in his companies)

Elon Musk is a non philanthropic pile of shit.

Elon Musk is a non philanthropic pile of shit.

Once you start seeing who constitutes the pool of "philanthropists" in this country or, really, any other, you discover he's right in line with the rest. From Bill Gates to Bernard Marcus and Mark Zuckerberg to Karl Ichan, the vast majority of "Giving Pledge" folks are absolute sociopaths.

Almost as though "charity" as its defined in the US tax code is just a way to evade taxes while advancing some reactionary cause du juor.

TrickDacy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 359d

Uh since when has Zuckerberg ever been considered a philanthropist? Literally never heard that before. And I'm not young. Also besides Bill Gates those other names ring no bells for me

olafurp@lemmy.world · -1 pts · 359d (3 replies)

Bill Gates has actually done stuff unlike the rest of them. The Gates foundation has done some good work.

UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 358d

Gates Foundation has done some good things tangential to their primary mission. They've also been pivotal in the privatization of education and commoditization of medical technology.

And then, of course, their commitment to investment in surveillance and national security technology.

The Gates Foundation's endowment has invested $16 billion in companies that divestment campaigns link to Israeli occupation, displacement and ethnic cleansing in Gaza

So has Chan-Zuckerberg, but mostly Chan. Icahn funded a lot of medical research and hospitals in NY.

Musk has done nothing positive with his life.

olafurp@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 358d

Yeah, Musk is dogwater quality.

DrMartinu@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 21 pts · 359d (8 replies)

It was pretty fucking dumb to have an account in the first place

faab64@freefree.ps · 6 pts · 359d (6 replies)

@DrMartinu

They have accounts on almost all social media.

Twitters is still one of the major platforms with millions of users.

DrMartinu@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 359d (5 replies)

Millions of bots and fascists.

It's also a platform that people vehemently refuse to access. It's not that they haven't heard of Twitter, THEY REFUSE TO GO. So that wholly negates any perceived crowd already on there. You are actively cutting out an audience by using it.

With the sheer number of obvious abuses by elon and the Twitter staff, like cutting off this account, it should have been a wake up call years ago to get off. Stop referring to it as 'posting on Twitter' or 'posting on x' it should be flatly referred to as 'reporting directly to elon musk.' am I supposed to see the benefit in this?

They have accounts on every social media, and also used to report directly to elon musk until he didn't like it.

The crux of our differences seems to be with you, and the morons still on it, still considering Twitter social media and not a bought and controlled propaganda arm. Are you calling fox News news next?

drath@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 359d

Probably tens or even hundreds of millions*

I joined shortly before Musk takeover and it was already a dumpster fire, so I made a script that searched for spam and fascist dogwhistles in the background and preemptively blocked them all 24/7 up to the rate limit. Two years later and well over 300k blocked accts later I gave up and deleted the account after seeing it barely even made a dent in the threads I was reading there.

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 359d (3 replies)

You can consider it bought and paid for propaganda, but people were still getting some emergency services ONLY over Twitter (yes, dumb, but they don't really get to pick where their city hosts that info)

In that same vein, there is presence and there are people and getting the message to as many people as possible is the point. They should even post on 4-chan while they're at it, to keep it broad.

SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 358d (1 reply)

Any actual emergency service relying on social media has bigger problems. Shitter is not essential.

OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 358d

I'm not saying it's essential, I'm saying you're needlessly limiting your reach by NOT using it to communicate for outreach. Shitty platform, shitty people, shitty creators/owners, shitty advertisers, shitty business practices, still a place people are at numbers HIGHER than most of our favorite federated platforms. So, to not use it when your goal is to reach as many people as possible, seems counterproductive.

DrMartinu@lemmy.dbzer0.com · -1 pts · 359d

Lol you're still parroting the tired excuse that there's some supremely important, earth stopping information being posted to Twitter, and we all die without it. Get real. It legitimately sounds like an addiction. I'm not being funny, it legitimately sounds like an addiction.

SulaymanF@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 358d

I don’t like it but I understand it. The goal is get the message out to as many people as possible and to tell the world about the injustice. In a just world everyone would have flocked to another social media but sadly it’s a means to an end.

heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net · 19 pts · 359d

Who's still on X? Might as well keep a Myspace account active too

They were also using WhatsApp. That also got shut down. They clearly did not consult with technicians and engineers before doing this.

ByteJunk@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 359d (12 replies)

Why exactly is anyone still using that shit platform?

I deleted my account like a decade ago, when I felt the idiocy spamming bots were getting out of hand. I don't want to engage with random astroturfers, I'd like real people please.

No feelings hurt, sorry. My point was more so that this isn't the place for throwing insult-ridden fallacies at every person who disagrees with you or, in this thread, simply doesn't talk about other/bigger issues 100% of the time. You're not fostering a great environment for constructive discussions.

For real, I am sorry if my previous comment hurt your feelings. My point was that whataboutism is a common trope over there and serves for nothing except to, ironically, make the whatabouter feel on a moral high ground.

Please be nicer to people, even online, and if you feel they're neglecting something important it might be more useful to be helpful and constructive instead of mean.
