OT: Twitter in Absolute Shambles
- Thread starter Bill Cosby
- Start date
$44 billion for the most popular media platform on the planet, 3 branches of the federal government heavily indebted to you and a $20 billion uptick in net worth today alone.
I think the mods need to unlock the original thread so posts can be quoted.

^^^You can scour a lot of history books and find few things of comparable importance (outside of war) as that event. Literally changed the trajectory of an entire country and perhaps, over time, Western history.
May also turn out to be a more minor thing.
I’d compare it to an Edison or Ford. Seismic shift that can’t be grasped by people at the time.

You have to think that while that foresight was happening, the guy was still making cars, catching rockets, deploying satellites, building robots, building self-driving cars, improving neurolink and oh yeah, being friends with Hitler.
Elon saved our Republic from forever being lost to the darkness of leftist tyranny. Elon has been the greatest defender of free speech and the biggest enemy of censorship in the entire world at a time when the establishment machine had nearly taken over.
After acquiring Twitter (at a grossly inflated price), he faced advertiser boycotts to try and blackmail him. His response: GFY!
He is one of the most consequential people in the history of our country and the world really. If you can't understand this, you are clueless about our country's founding principles and what it means to be an American, and you can GFY.

Smart money says that the same individual(s) that locked the “Twitter In Shambles” thread are the same individual(s) that Jeffrey Epsteined the OG Covid thread.
I don’t care who they are…they should be outed and perma-banned from posting on this site on principle alone.
@kybobcat, please lock and take this trash to the political. We don’t need more than one.
Just goes to show you that free speech only needs one platform to prevail. The 1st amendment is that damn powerful.
The American spirit will not be broken.

All for the 1st, 2nd, all the amendments, and the entire Constitution. As American as you will find.
We just don’t need another thread devolving into what is essentially a side political thread. All there is to it, and clearly the real intent of starting it.

Just revoke their censorship powers.
Twitter is AWESOME.
Hopefully it continues to run the MSM into ruin.

The ad boycott will probably end soon. Too many eyes on X now. It is the best place for news and current events.
Maybe the folks with Trump in their avatars should switch out when they're posting anywhere but the political forum. Ruffled feathers and all 🙄
What's funny is the usual suspects are all channeling their inner Nostradamus. They're worried about a guy with an IQ of 180.
Let that sink in!
The best part is always when people challenge his intellectual ability. Hilarious.

I hope Musk does to the fed govt what he did to Twitter.
Actually, EVERYONE should wish for that..

Get a grip dumbass. It isn't hurting anything and is related to X. Have you checked the numerous other nonsensical topics on this page?
Generally I agree with this and I see mostly lunatics shitpost in threads to try and get them locked because they don't like any opposing thought.
But, this is bigger than just politics. We were a c-word hair away from having a political machine that was openly discussing how to "stop" Elon, how the government would "divest" from his companies and some collection of unelected bureaucrat trash would be deciding what information is shared publicly.
It would be a shame for one of the most pivotal moments in our nation's history was buried in a sea of trash of unhinged MSM puppets crying about things they don't understand.
Let's get real about shit.
Elon Musk, the richest man alive, bankrolled the Trump campaign financially & by utilizing Twitter to further promote him. Elon Musk did not do this for funsies. Elon Musk does not actually care about the federal government other than to give the impression he is doing something about it.
Because Elon Musk's real motive is................. government contracts.
That is the quid pro quo. So, yay Tiwtter...whatever. It's a social media site. It was a tool to an ends for Musk. Well played but let's not be naive.

Let me be clear on one thing first. I unapologetically believe that companies have autonomy to do what they want with their applications, servers and platforms within the bounds of moral legality.
And, in effect, Twitter, under Jack Dorsey, could do what it saw fit to enforce it's terms of service. The faux outrage from the right regarding access to the platform was never about freedom of speech. It was about using the platform to promote their own propaganda unfettered.
And yet now it's controlled by Republicans and this narrative magically wilted away. What is not unsurprising is how easily these types of people encouraged government regulation of social media when it didn't fit their agenda, but now claim they are on the side of liberty.
The solution today is still not government regulation of social media, but anyone paying attention should take note of how easily principles are abandoned. This is why I have problem taking pundit types seriously.

The left is fully able to present their arguments completely and thoroughly on X just as the right is able to do so.
The problem is the left’s arguments and positions are complete lunacy and have no remote chance of standing when there is no tilting of the scale or censorship.
Never mind that the rate of banned users hasn’t changed and that the algorithms are almost definitely biased as they see fit. For example, the amplification of Musk Tweets to nearly every account on Twitter.
And, again, it’s their prerogative. I don’t care if they are biased. In principle, I disagree with government regulation of speech.
