Here's a video from someone who said it was about 90% cheers and 10% boos.

I'd say that's about right from listening to the video.
Lol you’re clueless
Even musk realized how embarrassing this tweet was. He deleted it

Looks like Ukraine is no longer an option under country when you're submitting a phone number for verification on Twitter.
Also, no 2fa if you've got a Ukrainian phone plan.

Then as he attempted to salvage the dumpster fire that was semi functional, he fucked it all up.
Now he’s promoting “free speech” as he successfully bans people that he personally doesn’t like. The entire thing is so hilarious. The most epic (post) .com era fail is happening and we all get to sit back and enjoy the popcorn. Unless of course you don’t understand the internet.
The whole thing is just so ridiculous

The official Twitter of the Norwegian Government is now trying to get Twitter support to change their tag from "Nigerian Government" to "Norwegian Government"

It’s just narcissism I think
When everyone around you (and the public at large) calls you a genius for over a decade and then you become the richest man on the planet, that’s gotta go to your head.

It's not just that, though. There's plenty of rich geniuses that don't have this problem.
Based on the reports about Musk's uhh, "creative" college pathway, it seems like he was basically groomed by smarter people who understood PR into becoming a "successful" face of business. Just like Trump was.
Now the question is: did he recently start getting high off his own supply, or did he always seriously think that?

If he’s always thought like that then he used to have way better handlers. There had to be some hangers-on telling him that going full on “the libs are soy cuck betas” isn’t smart business sense.
It wasn’t that long ago that places like Reddit were totally pro Musk. You really gotta fuck up bad to completely reverse that PR trajectory.

Oh, he absolutely did. That's why a lot of the shit he's done got brushed under the rug. That, and his shitty things were always a very minor part of his persona. Reddit and such used to love him because he was a tech bro and until somewhat recently, not really a household name. Once his persona got inflated, the shitty things stopped being quite so minor. Like racist pedophilic illegal alien acne blown up to the scale of a giant.
I'm assuming that part of the Trump effect is that handlers are suddenly a lot less employed.

It’s fascinating to watch how easy it is to manipulate “alpha males” like Musk or Trump with simple flattery

Lol I got banned from Twitter for a week. Some maga cunt said I look like I suck a lot of dick, so I told her she looks like she’s sucks dick for crack.
Her tweet is still up.
Despite saying I’d be unable to tweet, retweet or like any content, im still able to do all those things. Seems like a pretty significant bug

The dude who originally posted the video of Musk getting booed at the Chappelle show was banned.
I'll agree, they're not a true free speech platform yet as they're taking too long to unban accounts, and even banning them.
What do you think about the Twitter files, where we now know beyond a doubt that the FBI was meeting with Twitter regularly and telling them what they wanted censored?
Are you taking the position of the mainstream media that it's no big deal, or is do you feel this a huge revelation about government involvement in censorship?
-------------------- I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them. I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Source or make believe?
Just provide one example of an account or tweet that was censored due to a request from the FBI. It seems pretty notable to me that we are 5 episodes into the Twitter files and we haven’t seen a single example of any tweets the government actually successfully censored. According to what we’ve seen so far, the only government entity that managed to convince Twitter to take down tweets was the Trump White House.
It seems that the FBI was mainly concerned with election integrity. There are many federal laws against election misinformation, and I suspect the FBI was helping Twitter figure out what tweets were actually illegal. Do you consider Twitter taking down illegal tweets censorship? Even this is speculation on my part because we know of no tweets that were censored at the request of the FBI.

Revelation? It's not like this was some kind of secret.
https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2019/09/05/Facebook-Google-Twitter-meet-with-FBI-DHS-for-2020-election-strategy/9781567682861/
I'm so tired of the spin. Other than some cherrypicked bits of conversion there's nothing in the Twitter files that wasn't already known. It's just Elon and the right-wing media's attempt to lure conservatives back to Twitter from Truth Social. I thought banning Trump was Twitter's stupidest business decision but that was before Elon came along. Now you've got the CEO of Twitter tweeting about prosecuting Fauci and finding #staywoke t-shirts while also trying to convince people the platform is no longer politically biased. What's more he's trying to convince the EU the platform is safe so they don't ban it but then he tweets crap that's geting people to send his former employees death threats.

The Twitter Files keep upping the anti on nothing burgers. They forgot the bun this time.
I like that if you look at all the tweets in the "files" the general conclusion is that Trump deserved to get banned. If the "files" had any real content, Twitter would not be the method for releasing, I don't really get why they don't understand that. Other than it would be a slap in the face to the shit platform it is to use a better platform. I guess releasing 36 tweets makes it seem beefier than it is since they couldn't fill a single sheet of paper with each part.
Certain parties are so desperate for something to latch on to that they think these releases mean something, when in fact they just prove that Twitter made a decision after having a long internal discussion. They were measured and thoughtful. It was not some leftist conspiracy to get rid of right wingers.
The real partisan hack, it now appears, is Elon Musk. He's painted himself into a a corner. Instead of putting Twitter in the middle of the road he's now pushing qanon bullshit like white rabbit conspiracy stuff. He is taking Trump's place in a way, the crazy partisan people are worshipping Elon now. The caveat is that he owns Twitter, so he won't get banned for breaking the TOS.
I had a good laugh when I read an article where the author argued that Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Reddit, and Instagram all hold a monopoly over online communication. The argument was that they should be regulated by the government to maintain free speech (lol) since they are a monopoly. All of them, they hold a monopoly. All five. A monopoly. Never mind the hundreds of thousands of other forums that exist.
Some people should get kicked off the internet because it just isn't working. We need better education on how the internet works.
