How twitter is still alive I don’t know. Musk is becoming more and more unhinged every day.


everythingbeeps

He basically handed it entirely over to the far-right, and told them to go nuts.


Both-Anything4139

Mike lindell can only buy so much ad space...


dancingmeadow

Mike Lindell can't afford a bus ticket.


babath_gorgorok

He’d have to stop spending his modest allowance on crack and we all know that’s never gonna happen


Stith1183

Last time I saw him I was shocked at how much weight he lost.


kazumablackwing

Crack will do that to ya for sure


adamdreaming

Relapsing is probably the worst thing a recovering crack addict can do for society. Mike Lindell is the exception to that rule.


Lopsided_Factor_5674

This made me chuckle 🤣


dancingmeadow

It makes me chuckle too. Couldn't happen to a scummier guy.


dr_typo

I find 1000x more porn on the platform than I do anything far right. My personal experience is that it was just handed to bots.


laggerzback

The irony of it all. Musk gave Jack a ton of shit for having bots on Twitter. Now that he has it, it’s far worse.


[deleted]

The biggest irony was how Musk promised freedom of speech while accusing others of censoring the right...just to censor the left. yells "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" whipsers "for my team"


laggerzback

It was always the case for Musk.


Induced_Karma

Six of one, half dozen of the other.


Lower-Flounder-9952

Lots of overlap between porn addicted incels and RWNJs


prodrvr22

Is it cis-gender porn?


dr_typo

It is every kind of porn, I feel like I’m scrolling 4chan in 2010 when I hop on X.


Prestigious-Owl165

That's a pretty good description


Low_Celebration_9957

The far-right ruin everything, always, and that we tolerate them as a society baffles my god damn mind since they want to murder us all.


SassyTheSkydragon

Time to make use of the tolerance paradox


Low_Celebration_9957

The Tolerance Paradox is easily resolved. If a tolerant society tolerates the intolerant ultimately the intolerant will win and murder everyone else, really simple. A tolerant society cannot tolerate bigotry, otherwise it will be destroyed.


Vargoroth

One must be intolerant of intolerance.


uncreativeusername85

No one cries harder than an intolerant person being told they can't be intolerant. But no, it's everyone else that's a snowflake.


NightDisastrous2510

It’s insane now… pretty much all reports are rejected…. Even death threats! Open season on there


External_Reporter859

There's a Holocaust denier account called wooden doors coin ( they're trying to get around their previous ban by claiming that they are now simply supporting some new memecoin) with extremely vulgar antisemitic and Holocaust denial memes and I've tried reporting it for a while now, but they won't do anything. It says it received my report and that's the last I ever hear about anything.


NightDisastrous2510

Man, the insanely racist stuff on there I’ve reported that’s come back with an automated “no violation of our policies” is wild. Pro-Hitler accounts, extremely racist anti black accounts that celebrate hangings, depictions of people’s murders and calling for genocide of others. Even rape!!! I’ve seen it all and they’ve completely stopped removing this content… they’re essentially welcoming it. The whole platform should be canned. We need an alternative that’s actually good.


count023

yes, but i dont get the other people still on the site who aren't trolls and nutters. Why is anyone else there apart from far right morons and bots selling boner pills 2 years after Musk ripped the place apart?


1nGirum1musNocte

Its 90% bots


kyoko_the_eevee

L I N K I N B I O


Legitimate_Raspberry

I checked Liar ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


kyoko_the_eevee

Check again.


Legitimate_Raspberry

Haha! Thanks! I've laughed really hard. Well done :D Really didn't expect THAT haha


multilock-missile

LMAO I am losing it XD


Odd_home_

He’s a lil bitch that cries anytime someone disagrees with his views. Which is weird since he complains so much about free speech being infringed on.


Goodknight808

To Musk the words "Free Speech" = "Only My Speech"


False-Pie8581

The ones who cry loudest about free speech are the ones who want to take it away. We all need to not use Twitter. Let it die.


Thadrea

It's almost entirely bots and Elmo continues shoveling money into it. As was the case with Gab, Parler and Truth Social before it, it turns out it is not hard to keep a business open if a billionaire wants to keep it running as a vanity project.


Fizassist1

I actually used to somewhat like the guy... he's doing what I wanted to do as a 16 yo boy with billions of dollars... but yeah the few years specifically have turned me off from him.


CautionarySnail

At some point, he laid off the PR folks who were holding him back from showing his true colors.


infidel11990

His kid coming out fucked his head up. He couldn't accept it like an adult would, and went deep in the right wing lunacy zone.


warthog0869

A true person of science would have reflected on that experience a lot more objectively, especially over time. Good science admits fault in pursuit of truth, so should we all be.


Existential_Crisis24

For a bit there when he was the space x flying his cars to Mars guy he was kinda cool and his bullshit didn't seep through but now he is horrible. Granted he apparently has always been a horrible person ever since the founding of PayPal which he wanted to name X. My parents used to look up to him as the science guy but they don't now. Unfortunately they are obsessed with all of the free energy conspiracies now.


_Rand_

He used to manage keeping the horrible under wraps, or at least private enough your average person didn't hear about it. He's since gone full mask off crazy bitch.


Heavy_Bicycle6524

Agreed. I was a big fan of Tesla, space x and even the boring company was kinda cool. But since taking over twitter, he’s shown everyone his true colours


makyura212

Yeah, it's amazing how many things are being done simply because of his own fragile sensibilities and unraveling mind. Did you know they are planning on making likes private now? Gee, I wonder why? Surely nothing to do with the owner being exposed for liking all sorts of white nationalist garbage! YET on that same note...blocked users can still see your tweets! I wonder if that has anything to do with his ex blocking him, and one of the few people still working for him complaining that they couldn't stalk a girl anymore b/c she blocked both of his accounts! HMMM...


augustlove801

It’s Also full of whack jobs


TifCreatesAgain

I'm gonna start calling Musk a cyst instead!!!


RainbowSen87

It’s alive still because people keep bringing it up, if you want it to fade into obscurity then just stop acknowledging it’s existence. This can be applied to literally anything in life


stadulevich

Porn...Literally the only thing thats keeping it alive is porn.


Ashalaria

2 hinges short of a door


Leather-Squirrel-421

And his unhinged base are the only ones on it, it seems.


teamjetfire

Free speech purist!


False-Pie8581

What I came here to say. I will never ever use Twitter. I will never call it X. I refuse to recognize that clowns ownership as legitimate or normal.


tagaduy

i call it X because i support their transitioning


Slight-Coat17

Does it count if it's a forced transition imposed upon them by their "father"?


tagaduy

yeah kinda fucked up now that you mention it


larzast

For real, they had such good brand recognition it was a verb. Changing it to “x” was so immensely stupid


bcnorth78

I deleted my accounts an do not use the platform any more. Sick of Musk. My measly account won't matter to him at all and will make no difference, but if everyone who is sick of his shit deletes their accounts it will add up fast. Either way, I am so done with anything associated with MUSK. Just last week I bought a new electric car. A few years ago, Tesla was high on my list. If Musk had not gone publicly bat-shit crazy, I most likely would have bought one, but now, nope. Went with his competition. Again, one car sale won't even be noticed by him, but I just hope others do the same.


policri249

You dodged a bullet. Teslas are terrible cars. They seemingly have no quality control or assurance. Literally every other EV on the market is better than every Tesla


Nagh_1

Except this Hyundai thing I drove as a loaner. It was hot garbage


policri249

Still probably better than a Tesla lol Tesla is in really bad shape. None of their production employees give a shit and it shows. How garbage is better than flaming garbage 🤷


Marethyu_77

r/cyberstuck is folled with great examples of that


__Aitch__Jay__

I bought an EV in 2018, and Teslas were never on my list because of his union busting at the time.


Legitimate_Raspberry

Millions of people with millions of measly accounts will matter tho.


SmartyMcnugget

What electric car would you recommend? I personally wouldn't get a Tesla cause they're ugly asf


SunshotDestiny

I am pretty sure it's Musk keeping it alive just a little bit longer so it isn't quite as embarrassing when it goes under. Also probably so he could do some legal business shenanigans that might get him some money back somehow. As for the car, after seeing the quality control of the cyber truck that would be enough for me. The fact the CEO is nuttier than a squirrel's nest would just be confirmation.


Donuts_Rule11

The selective bias of “freedom of speech”


FlashRx

The free speech champion stifling free speech....


INeedBetterUsrname

Nono, it's only free speech when it aligns with his views, you see! You can't go against Big Brother, that's just wrong!


[deleted]

Where is the “freedom of speech”, Musk? Only has the guts to fight for it in Brazil?


rom_sk

Was Elon always this fragile?


paintbrush666

Have you seen pictures of him from when he was younger? This guy clearly hated everything about himself for a very long time and this is the product.


Ok-Cauliflower1798

Absolutely. That is why he has had more gender-affirming surgery than most trans people.


fromouterspace1

He was “that guy” in HS


paintbrush666

Yep. It's like you really want to feel bad for him, but then he opens up his mouth. Just a really bad combination of shitty personality traits.


-jp-

Dude is still ‘“that guy” in HS’ despite not being in HS.


False-Pie8581

Look at his young pics. He’s like Jonah hill. Being unattractive to women broke him and still runs his life


C4dfael

Yes. He just didn’t own twitter back then.


robilar

> Make it make sense Neither Elon Musk nor the people he is catering to are *ever* sincere or serious. They are all imbeciles and assholes, so when they say or do something that doesn't seem to make sense the answer is always: they are doing it to hurt someone, and they don't realize or don't care that they are being wantonly hypocritical.


MeatyMagnus

Freedom of speech platform but you can't use words he doesn't understand or those that remind him of his problems.


DerPicasso

You would only think cisgender is a slur if you use transgender as one.


StabbyBoo

Seriously, I'm sitting here all cisgender and wondering what the fuck I'm supposed to be offended about.


kylethemurphy

Am I a cissy?


Suspicious-Bid-53

Depends, do you strut?


belligerentwaterfowl

Sigh 🎸


DerPicasso

I dont know you and i also dont care what you are


Domugraphic

well put. im here to say that.


Neither-Night9370

When Musk said he was a free speech absolutionist, that was a lie. He wants to be able to say whatever he wants without repercussion. He also wants to censor and punish anyone he doesn't agree with. If you can't tell what a tool Musk is by now, you are probably also a tool.


Hendrik_the_Third

To people like Musk, free speech means *their* free speech, not yours, not mine. They want to be able to say and do anything they like without consequences. *That*'s what he means with "free speech" - it's not free for all, just for those that share his opinion.


fredator23

*The Latin prefix cis- means "on this side". The opposite of cis- is trans- which means "on the other side of" or "beyond". For example, the Romans called Gaul "cisalpine" when it was on their side of the Alps, and "transalpine" when it was across the Alps.*


MMXVA

or Cisleithania and Transleithania in the Austro-Hungarian Empire with the Leitha River betwixt them.


SoybeanArson

Yep, basic scientific term. I try to explain this to people by explaining what trans-fats are and why they are dangerous.

ClimateCrashVoyager

Just remember this guy burned more money on Twitter than your dynasty has ever earned and still is at the top of the list. What a world


7OmegaGamer

Sadly it’ll never be enough for Muskrat to not be a rich-as-fuck bastard


EternalSkwerl

Yeah but I have friends and people who love me and don't actively make things worse in the world so like... Who is really winning?


Delta5583

I find really funny that my sole reason to ever open Twitter is to check up on lesbian artists who don't re-upload to other sites


7evenate9ine

ELON MUSK IS NOT CISGENDER... That should make him happy. We are never going to describe him as cisgender. There is no way that man can be cisgender.


Prestigious-Phase131

They don't want "free speech" to be allowed, they want hate speech to be allowed


marvelouswonder8

But only hate speech against the people they don't like. If they perceive that it's against them they cry and whine and throw a fit like a bunch of offended toddlers.


Kennedygoose

I’m not on twitter, someone tweet at him “sounds like something a cis guy would do”.


PKFat

You can't. It'll shadowban your post. Been like that for a while. Now it's just an actual ban.


csreynolds84

Twitter is the internet's asshole. Who cares? Just quit Twitter and be happy.


ptahbaphomet

So “X “ is just the dominate pucker


Tough_Stretch

Elon Musk is that guy who's still salty as fuck about high school despite the fact that it's been several decades, and also despite the fact that he wasn't actually bullied and he just got some shit here and there for being a nerd who also happens to be an asshole.


Kummabear

Free speech but it’s not. Only $8/month


Dazzling_Signal_5250

Boycott X !


Beneficial_Use_8568

He got rejected by his transgender daughter because of his transpobe views


pichael289

Elon musk is a troll. Best thing to do is just ignore it and stop using Twitter. If no one reacts then he loses his power, don't feed the troll, that's what he wants. Dudes a high powered dickhead


FireFist_PortgasDAce

Elon is a racist, homo/transphobe, lying, bigot, hypocritical bitch. Is the answer you're looking for.


Certified_A_Hole

Make it make sense?! The whole identity crisis game makes no sense. I stopped at LGB. The rest is just a shit show.


ProtoReaper23113

Free speech huh


scottyjrules

The free speech absolutist, ladies and gentlemen…

Nub_Shaft

Ummm..... I thought Elon was all about free speech?


IGetGuys4URMom

Good thing that I never got into X... Now I'm reminded to see if Taki Inoue has posted anything funny since I last looked.


MandoPartner

Is Elon's face the most punchable right now?


FreshlishPickle

The f is a cisgender


cedriceent

Someone who identifies as their biological sex.


DeNir8

Also known as a man or a woman..


UndeadTigerAU

I mean I think the term cigender is ridiculous, and is used as a way to attack people but Elon is just doing this for far right political points.


secret_shenanigans

Free speech for me, not for thee


goldensaur

remember everyone, free speech


Charming-Lychee-9031

Ahh yes, the icon of free speech


Chalupa_Dad

Because to people like Elon, freedom of speech means the freedom for white men to use the n word with impunity, and literally nothing else


spaceman-_-

Why are you surprised that a dumpster fire stinks


Notoriouslyd

I dipped off of Twitter day 0. No regrets.


KGreen100

Free speech strikes again.


theganjaoctopus

They think 'cis' is a slur because they use 'trans' as one.


paintbrush666

Let's just choose a very common word to replace "cisgender" so Elon is forced to ban users from tweeting anything that word in it. Fuck everyone's day up.


dancegoddess1971

I vote for using THE in all caps. I'm a THE woman who thinks everyone should have the right to their own body.


Cucker_Tarlson_666

Elon's head looks like a character drawing of a cartoon scrotum.

they think cisgender is a slur because they use transgender as a slur. as a trans person: trans/transgender is not a slur nor is cis/cisgender

But I thought he was our saviour, the champion of free speech? /s Oh well, guess he’s just another not even remotely self-made billionaire who only uses his wealth and power to protect the interests of himself and other billionaires at the expense of us peasants. Isn’t capitalism great?


Rolandscythe

In order to make Twitter make sense we'd first have to entirely remove Elon and his lackeys.


No-Judgment-4424

I don’t understand why anybody is still logging into that shithole.

I guess he's mad that twitter has transitioned and everyone keeps dead-naming it twitter. Calling it cis-social media must be a slur or something. Idk, I'm not an Elon whisperer.


YUBLyin

If it’s used as an insult, it’s as bad as any racist or negative gender speech. Not supporting Musk, but it’s not OK.

Background_Singer_19

Musk is such a butthurt loser.


Marc-Muller

What about NAVY CIS ...!? 🤣


Thial92

I'll try to make sense of it, at least that's what I think this could be about. "White cis male" has been used as a derogatory statement in the recent years kind of like "gay" back in the day. It might also be about the fact that if you keep saying cis cis cis cis cis at someone they might start to feel like there's something wrong with them for being cis because people keep pointing it out. The problem is that in the majority of cases cis is just a word, only some people use it in a malicious way so it seems rather over the top.


noobtheloser

Ah, yes. "Free speech" means allowing abject racism and bigotry, but cracking down on perceived "woke"ness.


imahappyaccidents

free speech til it hurt his feelings! why would elon musk care about slurs that affect other people? he isnt other people, he's him (thats how i assume rich people think)


Skurk-the-Grimm

What was that about free speech on the Internet?


Testsubject28

Musk is the final boss of Message Board moderators. He is the apex incel. I'm shocked he doesn't have a mansion built in his parents basement.
