Our government is arguing about who is self hosting email
Thatβs hilarious! And concerning.
What kind of Elon Musk is this news?
Mmπ«₯
He works for the government
He's a carpet bagger. What else did y'all expect?
I really don't believe this article is true not because i don't like Elon but many Governments have sued Twitter because they do not enough against hate etc...
So much for "libertarianism"
In reality Musk is trapped in his own nightmare, stuck between his rear full of MAGA hats and disinformation and corporate KPI he can't produce with the kind of non-governance he is promoting while shitting on creators, brands, media and journalists.
That recipe, cannot work. It's fun to ride for the nihilistic but it leads nowhere.
Who didnβt see this coming? The people falling for the latest round of the free speech grift and attempting to dunk on previous ownership donβt really know Jack (shit).
My guess is that this will take 2 years to unwind. Celebrities leaving donβt matter until they pop up on better services/protocols.
I've never been a fan of Twitter but my word, what the hell is Elon trying to do with the platform?
Not really surprising. After all it seems like most things Elon does are connected to the government in some way.
Tesla -> EV Grants
SpaceX -> NASA contracts
StarLink -> Starshield for the military
Twitter -> ???

Lol
Is this for real

Mr. Wizard get me out of here.

Elon has been outspoken about his pro free speech views. Could this data simply imply that Twitter itself is less self-censoring following the Elon Musk takeover, which inevitably would increase the amount of requests from governments (including a higher degree of legitimate requests than before)?
Yes. There are plenty of things I don't like about Elon, but Twitter is infinitely better on many levels since he acquired it. One look at the Twitter files tells you all you really need to know.
Jack, would you have said anything different from what Elon said here? "We canβt go beyond the laws of a country,β he said in a recent interview with the BBC. βIf we have a choice of either our people go to prison or we comply with the laws, weβll comply with the laws.β There's a practical reality to running a large publicly-traded company. Not to mention, since Twitter became a much freer place than it was before, there are plenty of hit pieces written about it, so it may be important to take that into consideration. Besides all of which, there was (and probably still is) a huge contingent of twitter employees who work for or at the behest of the government anyway...
Itβs no longer a publicly traded company.
This isnβt a hit piece. Itβs from the companyβs transparency report.
Fair enough, I wasn't aware of that.
Wheeew I knew it
Jacks Twitter was just compliance lite
Either way, the people of 'this is fake because it's what the legacy media said' don't seek the truth
Can you make this app like the old twitter cause elon's twitter is getting worse and worse !!!
comp lying
Concerning
The world needs Decentralized Social Media so compliance with unconstitutional government demands becomes impossible. #1A
And there is also a lot less of self-censorship by Twitter (obviously). So are these absolute indicators really relevant?
I'm okay with the government doing its job. Some people donβt have the best intentions β Iβm sure you know. Iβd be thankful for people keeping us safe. A better approach to helping the world is to teach people values if you care about equalizing and bettering human life.
You could give your economic ideas too, which Iβm sure theyβd come to a resolution if you worked as a team. At least try. Sorry to dissent.
Wow here means much less freedom ππ
Are you mad he's going to get more government money than you did?
He runs a space agency, I mean like duhβ¦
I was never fooled the purchase of Twitter was about freedom of speech, it was all about trying to control the narrative. Musk also has some disturbing ties to Vladimir Putin and I wouldnβt be surprised if he was behind it the whole time.
