Musk said he would allow users previously banned for their opinions to come back.  :shrug:

Maybe I don't understand the question?

Is religious bickering the equivalent of authoritarianism?  :shrug:




Religious bickering?

Maybe you should better familiarize yourself with the treatment of Muslims in India, basically since the partition, but especially since the rise of Modi and Hindu nationalism in the past couple decades.

India only is interested in buying Russian military tech - but now that they have more or less established their own homegrown industry, much like China 15-20 years ago they will move away from that more and more(not that its even available to import anymore)

Other than that it's purely pragmatic, cheap oil and that's about it.

Aside from ascertaining some degree of economic benefit - China and India are very far from amicable relations, with each courting relations with eachothers neighboring countries & rivals to keep one another in check... I'll be surprised if BRICS nations can come to enough mutual agreement to do anything very effective collectively.

Thank you, The Ecstatic also helped me out on that.  :thumbup:



Elon imposes new free speech restrictions, and is somehow making Twitter more free speechie? No sense at all. Some double speak right there.

Instead of fixing whatever problems Twitter had, musk has pretty much guaranteed Twitter will go bankrupt. His entire plan was to sell blue check marks and after two days that plan has exploded in his face. Half his advertising base has left. I don’t think Twitter is salvageable with musk running the company. Nobody has any faith in his ability to run the company

The Elon invasion of Twitter is going about as well as the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Not even sure why falcon sticks around. Being the laughingstock of this forum must be very appealing to him

No (do I need to start calling you king of make believe again if that's all you do?)  He's banning people who don't follow the impersonation rules.  Accounts engaged in parody must include “parody” in their name, not just in the bio.

That’s the new policy as of yesterday, not the old policy where he was banning people with parody in the bio

Who knows what changes to free speech will be made tomorrow

Elon musk said something about the terms that Ukraine should accept peace in that mirrored Russian demands -

So that's prob why he's kissing his feet now, and just like putin he is now beyond all criticism and only does 100% right

Tho maybe he forgot who also set up internet and comms for Ukraine

Russian state media says Elon is giving investors access to user data.

Can’t quite nail down falcon on how he feels about this since he wants to argue semantics instead

He said the people of the territories should decide their own fate, not Biden or Putin.

But I realize you think the US rules the world and the people there shouldn't have any say.
