Musk is on the trump mushroom dick train because he’s afraid he’s going to get indicted, and trump has already offered him a full pardon.
This makes too much sense to not be true.
[blows dust off of cover]
Yeeah, a lot of these “not really news” lately… but it’s good that they’re talked about at least.
O RLY?
Yes, and that is clearly the reason he purchased the platform.
A) I don’t think there’s anything illegal, here, and B) of course large private agencies manipulate elections, from news agencies to SuperPACs to social media, and C) there’s not a heck of a lot we can do about that.
The best thing we can do is smarten up and think for ourselves. In short, we’re doomed!😅
I agree that it’s probably not illegal for him to do that. But it is solvable if we decide to legislate some long overdue guardrails.
I’ve always said that in order to get access to the internet, you should need a yearly updated photograph of your genitals that is easily displayed whenever you post something online.
That way, when you try to sway someones opinions, they can see how big your penis is, and say “No actually, shut up. You have a small penis, Elon Musk!”
Finally a way for the big penis club members to be taken seriously intellectually, and not just paraded around for our good looks!
This was my first question. Where is the line between election “participation” and election “interference”? Putting a political sign on my lawn certainly isn’t interference?
Is your lawn a network of millions of people, which censors differing opinions, and deletes others signs?
Trumptards took over Clubhouse without the backing from the CEO. It’s a collective strategy, and not one man’s bigotry
Sure, if you completely ignore the fact that Spez was more than happy to harbor The_Donald until they went full on domestic terrorist.
This was an act of censorship. Similar to X
Good. That’s exactly the kinda of lowbrow crap that shouldn’t be accepted in public or online. And if you can’t advocate your favorite orange weirdo in a diaper without calls for violence, doxxing folks, etc, then you know what? That’s the kind of worthless shit heel society should not be wasting it’s time on…
So much advocating the violence, he even got shot himself
lol
What you smokin’ comrade?
How does a US citizen “interfere” in a US election? Nothing described in the article is illegal. “Interfere” is usually used to denote actions by outside powers.
-
Xwitter is definitely promoting disinformation, which is election interference and can be committed by American citizens. Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman pled guilty in 2022 to hiring a firm to make calls spreading disinformation during the run-up to the 2020 election.

Xwitter is providing a measurable, financial benefit to the Trump campaign. That’s soft money, and using soft money to exceed individual campaign contribution limits is against the law.
Also pretty sure that creating a voter registration site that only appears to register voters in swing states (while gathering their data so you can follow up with only the ones you want to target) could also lead to criminal charges if the matter were to be pursued.
Wohl and Burkman were fined for sending threatening and intimidating robocalls. Not spreading misinformation.
Fox News is also providing measurable benefit to Trump. They also spread disinformation. If euther of those things were illegal they’d been shut down back when they were calling Obama a Kenyan Muslim.
Please identify exactly which law Musk is breaking and with exactly which action.

Lol tell that to Tina Peters.
There are lots of potential ways, especially when you own a large social media platform that doesnt have rational reasons for blocking certain political content over others that skew a particular way.
There are no laws on the books that force social media platforms to tolerate all political expression. While there are laws allowing then to be sued for violating civil rights, that’s not the same thing. Selective bans on people of specific political background are still a common thing across the internet.
So until that’s remedied we’re trapped with billionaire cretins trying to swing politics with their huge platforms.
