I guess Elon Musk thinks free speech is when he says whatever the fuck he wants and other people have to just accept it and not change their behavior based on the stupid shit he spews.
(guess shroomery image button doesn't like this particular image)
Holy shit it gets better. Elon blocked the advertising representative who called him out. Elon is completely unsuited to run a media company like this. It’s a train wreck.

So Elon blocked him from talking to Elon, not anything else? If I'm on Facebook or Twitter, I'd want the ability to limit who can chat with me.

Yes he is blocked from interacting with Elon or seeing his tweets. The person who is blocked cannot engage in a conversation with the person blocking them. Everyone has the ability to block someone, the question is why is Elon blocking someone who is representing Twitter advertisers?
Elon made a claim that advertisers were being influenced by activists, and a guy who was on the phone call between advertisers and Elon replied to that tweet, saying it was not true and the reason advertisers were pulling out was because they are unsure about advertising in a platform that may contain content that is not aligned with sponsors values. In particular, they were concerned about the behavior of musk himself. He said these were all things they told musk a day earlier on their call.
Elon cut him off. Removed his ability to reply to musk. It’s fucking petty and childish and ridiculous behavior for someone who claims to be a free speech absolutist.

They're concerned Elon won't blindly support Ukraine, and will allow free speech for a change.

No they said what their concerns were. Why are you making shit up?

Here is Elon's reply:


Are you a child? He’s running a 44 billion dollar investment that relies nearly entirely on advertisers revenue. The advertisers have told musk they are concerned about his behavior and the uncertainty of the direction he is taking the company. His response is that he may punish advertisers who bail on the company? It’s crazy. How is he going to be able to cover a”billions in lost revenue?
You never addressed the issue with Musk blocking the marketing rep who was replying to musks accusations. How is that even remotely in line with his stated goal of more free speech. He can do whatever he wants but he doesn’t seem very committed to free and open discourse.
Twitter has also started selling check marks for $7.99. No verification required. Just pay the fee and get a check mark. While checkmarks no longer identify verified users, those who pay the feee will now have their tweets moved to the front of the line.
Musk said that people without checkmarks will have their tweets suppressed. “You’ll have to scroll really far to see unverified users. you won’t really see’ what your friends are posting - even in your own replies - if they don’t pay for it.”

This is a pretty good example of "what right wingers think the left thinks"
The only thing I find troubling about Elon Musk owning twitter is that Elon Musk seems to agree with the idea of the government opening investigations into advertisers that pulled out.
I don't care about him pumping and dumping Tesla stocks, I don't own any Tesla stocks. I don't care about the long term viability of Twitter, I don't use twitter. Apart from the time I publicly called out my ISP when calling tech support didn't work.
I think it would be absolutely hilarious if twitter employees left en masse and just made flitter. They should definitely do that.

Glenn Greenwald used to hate Aaron Rupar but now that you can be anyone you want to be on Twitter...

The total breakdown of safety and security at Twitter is a sight to behold and most of the people responsible for fixing this mess quit yesterday

Why the constant make believe? The rule is that accounts engaged in parody must include "parody" in the name, not just in the bio.

Literally put "parody" in the account name.

Damn, son. I managed to call you a liar...24 hours before you even managed to start lying. Holy shit, I think that might be a record. I mean, I know I'm smart, I never thought I was smart enough to call your bullshit 24 hours in advance.
