    Bots? You mean the very things he pledged to get rid of before buying Twitter? Theyre still on Twitter?

    I cant believe it

      The guy who got rid of all the controls that limited hate speech, and who invited back a whole bunch of people who got kicked off previously for hate speech, is all shocked-pikachu at the surge of hate speech following his actions.

        Which has Germany in a position to crack down hard on him, and yet they still didn’t for some reason. Hundreds of cases of hate speech that could amount to a fine big enough to take this platform away from him.

        Germany, please do something already

    For anyone out of the loop on Israeli politics: Netanyahu is evil enough to make Musk look like child’s play. What a fucking panel.

    Fuck them both.

    So he met with Netanyahu to prove he’s not an anti-semite. What other than being personally pissed can warrant an out of blue direct and public chat with a prime minister of Israel. Itsa man, nah, itsa child, no, its Elon Musk!

    Too bad he can’t delete those posts. If only someone could make a decision to remove those. Oh what will we do?

    I honestly don’t know which of these two I think is the bigger threat to humanity. Although Musk doesn’t have nukes at his disposal, so maybe I do know after all.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The livestreamed event started with a one-on-one between Musk and Netanyahu that attracted more than 735,000 views.

    While much of the one-on-one focused on AI—which Musk claimed was “potentially the biggest civilizational threat” and Netanyahu called “a blessing and a curse”—the men also discussed their views on antisemitism and how Musk deals with hate speech on X.

    And all I could say is, I hope you find within the confines of the First Amendment the ability to stop not only antisemitism, or roll it back as best you can, but any collective hatred of people."

    Netanyahu noted that X’s policy didn’t stop Musk from condemning antisemitism every chance he got.

    The entire conversation remained strictly agreeable, with Netanyahu’s only pushback coming about 25 minutes in.

    The prime minister asked Musk if it was “technically possible” to limit “armies of bots” from amplifying hate speech on X.
