I have been to China where this is the norm, and mind my business so can adapt to that way of life. I don't protest, likely never will and don't openly mock politicians from countries like this that I travel to. You can make those adjustments, you will blend right in, too. My issue, is those who set the standard of what is acceptable in a free society. If you set one based on how one feels inside, essentially there is no standard to be had. The standard thus becomes so vague, you can effortlessly put people in trouble for missteps and create a culture of fear via public flogging. Its effective, as there are even financial punishments for not toting the line. Quote

If he kept his nose out of the drama and patched up issues, nobody will remember any of this. Musk's idea of free speech is he gets to say whatever he wants and censor anyone he wants. Elon Musk’s Free-Speech Charade Is Over Quote When the right-wing billionaire Elon Musk wanted a journalist to spread the word about supposed left-wing censorship under Twitter’s previous ownership, he went to Matt Taibbi. But last week, Twitter began to throttle traffic to the newsletter platform Substack, where Taibbi does most of his writing, and apparently began hiding Taibbi’s tweets in Twitter's search results. Musk’s chosen conduit for exposing what he described as past Twitter’s censorship was now being censored by Musk’s Twitter. Although Musk has insisted the temporary throttling of Substack was a mistake, Taibbi claimed that it was in response to a “dispute” over the company’s new Twitter-like service. Blocking access to a competitor may seem, well, at odds with the “free-speech absolutism” that Musk has proclaimed and that admirers like Taibbi have praised. As the reporter Mike Masnick writes, the above behavior clearly falls into what Musk fans described as censorship under Twitter’s previous ownership. But it’s consistent with what more perceptive observers noted about Musk as he was considering buying the network: The mogul’s treatment of union organizers and whistleblowers suggested that “free-speech absolutism” was mostly code for a high tolerance for bigotry toward particular groups, a smoke screen that obscured an obvious hostility toward any speech that threatened his ability to make money. 1 hour ago, taxme said: Actually, i never used Twitter. But maybe i will try it out sometime. All i know is that since Musk took over Twitter, freedom of speech is back on Twitter, and commie censorship is gone. Left wing liberals like you should be banned. Lefty's like you can only ever offer mis and disinformation. ? Since you "never used Twitter," your ^OPINIONS are uninformed. Quote

Lefty Robocop needs to go live in North Korea for a month and then go about criticizing the dear leader Kim Jung ILL. It will be off to the gulag for robocop. Then he will really learn as to what and how freedom of speech is all about and which is so great and such a wonderful thing, and that censorship is not so great. That is the only way for stunned left wing liberals like lefty will learn to appreciate freedom of speech. ? You need to stop making CLAIMS about me of which you are COMPLETELY IGNORANT. 1 Quote

robosmith Posted December 14, 2023 Author Report Posted December 14, 2023 Elon Musk demands Bob Iger ‘be fired’ after Disney pulled ads from X Quote Elon Musk wants Bob Iger fired. The X owner and erratic billionaire conspiracy theorist went on a rampage Thursday against the Disney chief executive, assailing Iger for the Magic Kingdom’s decision to pull advertisements from his imperiled social media platform, and declaring that Iger should be forcibly removed from his job. "He should be fired immediately," Musk, who often uses his influential perch to bully critics and others, wrote about Iger on the platform formerly known as Twitter. "Walt Disney is turning in his grave over what Bob has done to his company." Disney, like a slew of other major companies, stopped advertising on X last month, after Musk endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory popular among White supremacists. Musk tacitly apologized for the post last week after the flurry of companies ceased their relationships with X, but simultaneously delivered a profanity-laced message to companies who decline to purchase ads from his social media platform.Musk has himself repeatedly contributed to the toxicity of X. Most recently, he boosted the false – and dangerous — Pizzagate conspiracy theory. Since he acquired the company, he has also smeared the press, launched ugly attacks on the Anti-Defamation League, and elevated extremists on the platform. That'll get the advertisers back. NOT. 1 Quote

You see ^this BULLSHIT is a PRIME EXAMPLE of why disinformation needs moderation for your own good if nothing else. Giuliani and Jones have to pay $multi-millions for their "free speech" libel.

Give me your address, if you are brave enough to do so? I called you "comrade". Wow, what a cry baby. Your hatred for Trump is quite obvious, and thus, anyone who hates Trump has to be pretty much a comrade. Trump stands for freedom and rights. Bidumb stands for communism because of his communist like tactics that he is trying to do to Trump. Bidumb is using communist like tactics to try and get Trump off the ballot anyway he can. One cannot be a liberal without being in support of communism. The Marxist dictator in Ottawa is acting like Bidumb and he is a liberal. Liberals have a hard time trying to play fair ball. Don't try and forget that the Marxist dictator in Ottawa froze peoples bank and credit card accounts and caused lots of hardships for many people who had bills to pay. A very freedom like thing to be doing here in a so called freedom country. So, when are you going to start to attack conservative leader Pierre Polievre? I guess that will happen as soon as the lying and fake leftist liberal Canadian media can find something on Pierre. So far, nothing. ? Quote

robosmith Posted January 5, 2024 Author Report Posted January 5, 2024 X (formerly known as Twitter) gets another valuation cut from Fidelity Quote Fidelity has again marked down the value of its shares in X Holdings, which the mutual fund giant helped Elon Musk buy for $44 billion when the company was known as Twitter. Fidelity believes that X is worth 71.5% less than at the time of purchase, according to a new disclosure that runs through the end of November 2023 (Fidelity revalues private shares on a one-month lag). Mush should stick to tech. AKA, something he's good at managing. Quote
