    He must not be getting enough attention. It’s been, what? A week since Musk had his name in the news. It must have been killing him.

    The fact that 1 single person gets to decide arbitrarily who is or isn’t allowed to voice bullshit ‘facts’ on a worldwide medium that is copy-pasted by every newsagency and newspaper as if it is a main and legit source of actual news is just very very wrong.

      I mean, the poll was almost definitely bullshit but in theory over a million people also voted for it

          I don’t doubt there are still way over a million idiots on TwitX.

          On the other hand, I don’t believe him on anything.

          It’s not hard at all to believe there’s a million Alex Jones fans who voted. He used to be really popular

      Nope. Its about platforming a rightwing movement that the funders of the buyout can use to take control of the American body politic.

        Remember how he lost a poll asking if he should step down?

        He only follows through when he agrees with the outcome, just like he only supports free speech if he agrees with the speech… He would’ve brought Jones back either way, because he wants Jones on the platform.

    It’s like letting out the mutineers to help throw buckets of water out of the sinking ship. It’s still going to sink and you will drown surrounded by terrible people.

    If you have an account on that site and are actively engaging with the site, you are directly helping / supporting Musk and his racist bullshit.

    Delete that shit (like reddit btw!!) and stay the fuck away.

    Surely this will win back all of the advertisers uncomfortable with what a cesspool of bigotry and conspiracy theories Xitter has become.

    Elon is the most divorced guy who has ever existed. He’s gonna get thrown out of a little league game for yelling at the 12 year-old umpire soon.
