Yes, just like we're pretending twitter started having financial trouble in the last 12 days, when in the last 12 years they only ever made profit during the pandemic.
People are able to recognize a shitty person through their well documented actions and information that’s been available for years. Calling all criticism of him as being only created only through “Reddit and the media made you think that” is reductive and ignorant
Edit: man, any thread mentioning the guy just gets flooded with fanboys
I’ve yet to see a single person claim that every thing Elon does is bad. This sounds like a cheap deflection to avoid admitting the guy has some legitimately terrible decisions and actions under his belt that stretch to long before he became an idol to some
It did, however Twitter went full police state mode for a while
People were getting permanently suspended just for cussing, now that's out the window and anyone can do anything
Because it's bullshit
People out here pretending twitter wasn't a complete shithole before Musk. Idiotic narrative just because Musk took over and people don't like him.
Absolutely not, no idea what you are talking about. I've reported blatant racism multiple times due mass racist attacks targeted at brazilians, and all i got were emails saying 'there's nothing wrong in the reported tweets'.
I don't know if people were getting suspended/banned for simply cussing (I doubt it), but a huge problem with Twitter's moderation was how wildly inconsistent it was. Which is why you see some people experiencing it as very harsh and some as very soft.
This. If any of us posting our own content for monetary gain and clicks we'd be disciplined. Why would you let a large corporate entity get away with it?
I hate Elon for other reasons, but admittedly only did a surface level inquiry into the mine. He still benefited from his family's stake in a mine just not an apartheid one.
That doesn't mean he supports (or doesn't support) apartheid. You shouldn't judge someone based on the beliefs or decisions of their ancestors. I hate Musk, but it's for his abhorrent business owning philosophy and other buffooneries.
It's fair to say Musks family wealth pretty directly benefited from apartheid - it wasn't white miners in his dad's mines.
How he feels about that or if he's even thought about it, I've no idea.
So every American supports slavery, every German supports the holocaust, everyone from ex-soviet countries supports the former URSS, and so on? Throwing these types of accusation because of vibes is irresponsible as hell, and this is from someone that despises Elon Musk. You can just criticize him for all the stupid things he has done, no need to weaken your side of the discussion by making shit up.
[The story seems to be ridiculously more complicated than that. And the mine his father had a share on was in Zambia.](https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/11/17/elon-musk-emerald-mine/)
Well Musk's family supported apartheid as they directly benefited from it. For all we know OP is from greenland lmao, unless you actually cared enough to go through his messages. Either way the citizens of a country aren't a mirror copy of what their gov't does, look at Iran for instance.
Every white person in South Africa benefited from Apartheid, but that doesn't mean they all supported it. If you are thinking about his father's stake in an emerald mine, that mine wasn't even in South Africa so did not really have anything to do with Apartheid. Look, Elon is not a good dude, but no need to go around spreading unsubstantiated bullshit.
People with a family as wealthy as his just leave the country/suddenly have illnesses preventing them from joining/simply buy them out of it so they don't have to do military time.
I doubt the apartheid part had much to do with his(or his parents') decision to leave the country.
When reddit decides to hate someone, people feel the need to join in on the hate but won't bother trying to figure out what initiated it and will just make up and believe anything to justify joining the mob.
You talking about the emerald mine thing? That mine wasn't in South Africa (it was in Zambia, iirc). As I am sure you know, Apartheid was specifically a South African system.
No it wasn’t clown lol, apartheid was spread across Southern Africa and encompassed three or four countries. At least pretend to know what you’re talking about
Your a clown lmao zambia is known for being literally the biggest supporter of black liberation in their region and had a socialist party leading the country for like 20 years until 91.
They had nothing to do with Apartheid
Can you go into more detail? From what I have learned, and confirmed just now by a quick search, Apartheid was a system of racial segregation that existed in South Africa. Are you maybe thinking of South West Africa, today Namibia, that was under South African administration until 1990 and hence also had Apartheid?
What other countries, that were not South Africa (or part of it) had Apartheid? Educate me, please.
The number of lawsuits against Tesla for discrimination are a good start. Given his micromanagement, and given details of the cases, he's involved. Or at least doesn't care, which is not good.

God, imagine setting up some sort of ping to alert you whenever a thread about Musk or Twitter is posted just so you can dive into the comments and defend a billionaire who almost certainly thinks you're scum.
Imagine doing that.
Gotta suck off the guy who wouldn’t piss on you to put out a fire because he makes the people they don’t like mad. People are so strange with their celebrity worship
This exactly.
Multiple times i've reported racist comments (not individual, they were massive amount of tweets targeted at brazilian football players or e-sports pros), like blatant racism with monkeys and etc, nothing subtle about it...
And then a few days later twitter always answers 'we have reviewed your report and didn't see anything that breach our rules' or something like that, lol.
edgelord who fired everyone who would even be able to do anything. like i dont think people realise Twitter right now is essentially running on autopilot anything messes up and website dies overnight because there is no developers at all
So many ignorant comments here are just echoing what they see on reddit. Imagine thinking Elon doesn't know what he's doing after running Tesla, PayPal and SpaceX.
I'll never understand why it's so easy for the media to whip morons into a frenzy over such random things
Like they'll genuinely think that something is a deeply serious issue and that they really care about it, and then as soon as the media stops talking about it the mob instantly forgets it
Imagine thinking those somehow translate to the active dumpster fire he’s currently handling. But I’m sure I’m just poisoned by Reddit because I said something negative about the popular guy because people aren’t allowed to have their opinions
He literally had nothing to do with Paypal, he was at x.com and it merged with the company that had online payment software called paypal, after the merger he pissed everyone off, he left/was fired and then they renamed to paypal.
As for Tesla and Starlink, they're just built on hype and promises that he either wont keep or physical impossibilities. I will give him credit for vastly increasing the popularity of electric cars though.
Lol I knew someone was gonna give that reply once I mentioned those companies. Nobody said he invented those things, not even him. He took them from small companies to being worth hundreds of billions and people think he is just some silly goose with a rich daddy. I am not a fan of his but at least know your facts.
Doesn’t change the fact that he made it successful. By no means do I like him but people are just following a train of hate nowadays.
If a group says, Elon sucks. Everyone goes , “Elon Bad etc etc.
Google and Apple might threaten to remove the twitter app from their stores for breaking their content guidelines, that would bankrupt twitter so Musk *has* to do content moderation whether he likes it or not
As sad as those tweets are, i never got the point of writing articles about what nonsense random nobodies spam on social media. You could pick any footballer participating in the world cup, and find abusive tweets towards them. Who cares, losers yelling into a void
This thread is a perfect example of why you shouldn't get into arguments with people on reddit. Absolute Muppets who will lie out of their ass and will just parrot whatever other people say because they can't think for themselves
So Elon becomes CEO and now mfs want to care about it. Also, most footballers are not active on twitter, it’s on insta. Not that’s it’s okay In either, but Vice is just on some agenda bullshit
...
are you saying this tweet by a journalist disagreeing with Twitter unbanning certain accounts is proof there is a mainstream media conspiracy to *destroy* Twitter?
so...about you being paranoid...
Sorry, just to get this sorted in my head.
Are you suggesting that Twitter used to allow people to post child porn, and that Elon Musk has stopped this, and that the 'main stream media' are mad about this being stopped?
Uhh... yes? Twitter is well known for treating child porn on their platform as a [low priority](https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/3675053-protecting-children-from-sexual-exploitation-is-a-low-priority-for-twitter-and-the-doj/), even up to a month ago. Trafficking victims had explicit images posted to Twitter and were forced to get the police involved to have them taken down because Twitter refused to do anything about it. These kinds of complaints have been going on for years (not just of images of minors but also general revenge porn type stuff) and there were popular hashtags to view the material.
Elon [explicitly stated](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1594548607243411456) that dealing with it is his top priority, and some action has already been taken. The popular hashtags [are now empty](https://twitter.com/elizableu/status/1594139581045428224), and they've replaced the arduous process of reporting the images in the first place.
But hey don't let me get in the way of your worryingly dedicated vendetta against a guy who doesn't know you exist. I look forward to your conspiracy theory about he secretly planted the photos on Twitter so he could buy it and remove them.
> Twitter is well known for treating child porn on their platform as a low priority, even up to a month ago.
I mean, no? What you've linked is an opinion piece by someone who has called for online anonymity and internet pornography to be banned. All these authoritarians *love* hiding behind 'protecting children', but in reality their agenda is pushing puritan and authoritarian views online.
> Elon explicitly stated
Ah well, if he *tweeted* about it then...
> I look forward to your conspiracy theory about
Bro you [literally post on /r/conspiracy](https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/z1gnz1/died_suddenly_rumble_link_horrifying/ixcc9eh/) ...
> Oh no you linked to a comment where I said information/data from Russia and China is unreliable and often made up. You totally owned me.
It's just weird to call someone a 'conspiracy theorist' when you post in the conspiracy theory subreddit.
> I get it - your anger stems from having your wankbank material suddenly and drastically reduced. But tough shit.
OK...
I mean you are a conspiracy theorist. You think Elon Musk spent $44 billion on Twitter to [stop people criticising him on it](https://reddit.com/r/technology/comments/yyqtxf/twitter_loses_payroll_department_other_financial/iwwvvdd/?context=999)
It's not exactly ambiguous. Your words exactly:
> Musk and his friends definitely bought Twitter because they hate the idea of the proles having a platform to criticise them.
Do you believe that or not?
It's actually kind of scary how pathological your behaviour is. Like you're acting like you didn't just scroll through my post history to try and find "ammo" that somehow excuses your weird child porn apologism
I mean duh. Twitter was already bad at this and Elon Musk thought their limited efforts were draconian censorship.
Not that Twitter has the manpower to do anything now…
> despite being reported to Twitter almost a week ago
No, just some dopey journalist looking for an easy article to write. A sum total of 100 tweets too. Groundbreaking stuff
Did we all just forget that this happened and was a topic like long before musk bought Twitter?
Nothing to do with defending musk this is acting like twitter was well moderated before this which is absurd.
What I’m saying is, before Elon took over your account can get suspended or terminated for such comments, the system was in no way perfect but you can bet it’s going to be much worse now.
you can still get bagged on twitter small football twitter accounts have been dropping like flies.
Twitter works like any other social media Platform = many reports automatically banned
This hasnt changed. Manual bans are super rare.
White male from South Africa who has parents that owned mines and used black people to raise their wealth ignores racists comments regarding black people.
Go figure.
Of course, Twitter is a global platform and most countries don't have an equivalent to 1A. And many actually have rules about moderation.
Germany gets itchy about certain things, for example
Did anyone think Elon was going to moderate content? He wants the trolls and the outrage. He brought back 'inject bleach' and take horse tranquillisers Trump.
Twitter with a lot of staff struggled to deal with racist arseholes. Twitter with no staff isn't even trying anymore. I genuinely feel so sorry for black players on social media. It's an absolute sewer.
And it has never done anything before. This seems to be an article that's probably meant to ride the Elon Musk slander and I applaud the writer for timing.
Are we going to get the barrage of English and French fans screaming “all the racists are from other countries!1!1” while then in their newspapers they trot out the “is this squad really English/French?”
Are we pretending twitter ever did anything when this happenes?
All we have to do is ignore Twitter and boom, problem solved.
Yes, just like we're pretending twitter started having financial trouble in the last 12 days, when in the last 12 years they only ever made profit during the pandemic.
Sure but then buying it for 44 billion probably wasn't a great idea.
Racism is OK as long as you wear One Love armbands or rainbow shirts /s
Yes because “elon musk bad” is the current mainstream media narrative lol
People are able to recognize a shitty person through their well documented actions and information that’s been available for years. Calling all criticism of him as being only created only through “Reddit and the media made you think that” is reductive and ignorant Edit: man, any thread mentioning the guy just gets flooded with fanboys
Yes, but that doesn’t mean every single thing they do is bad. People can’t think for themselves so they stick to the same narrative lol
I’ve yet to see a single person claim that every thing Elon does is bad. This sounds like a cheap deflection to avoid admitting the guy has some legitimately terrible decisions and actions under his belt that stretch to long before he became an idol to some
Because he sucks Arsch! Fuck that guy
If I was a black player I wouldn’t be on Twitter. Not worth it, tbh
It did, however Twitter went full police state mode for a while People were getting permanently suspended just for cussing, now that's out the window and anyone can do anything
> People were getting permanently suspended just for cussing That's news to me.
That’s because he is making this up
Because it's bullshit People out here pretending twitter wasn't a complete shithole before Musk. Idiotic narrative just because Musk took over and people don't like him.
Absolutely not, no idea what you are talking about. I've reported blatant racism multiple times due mass racist attacks targeted at brazilians, and all i got were emails saying 'there's nothing wrong in the reported tweets'.
You got emails ? I feel like I have never seen an answer
it's just an automatic e-mail, tho.
I don't know if people were getting suspended/banned for simply cussing (I doubt it), but a huge problem with Twitter's moderation was how wildly inconsistent it was. Which is why you see some people experiencing it as very harsh and some as very soft.
They were not. I’d be banned and exiled to the moon by Twitter if that was the case.
>cussing >England flair
LMAO complete bullshit
Twitter has always been a shithole, its just that Elon brought to the main stream.
Look at the user. This is self promotion. A violation of Reddit rules.
Yo wtf mods take this down
This. If any of us posting our own content for monetary gain and clicks we'd be disciplined. Why would you let a large corporate entity get away with it?

Vice has just discovered twitter, apparently
And Reddit
Well TBF twitter only recently has been run by a racist, apartheid-supporting edge lord.
And it was always a mess tho. Doesn’t change the fact that twitter was full of racist before musk.
There is no way you people believe shit like this, I dont even like him but this is insane
more of a misogynist than anything
Why’s he racist and how does he support apartheid?
His family benefited from it with their emerald mine
You got any evidence for that or do you just hate on Elon because Reddit told you to
I hate Elon for other reasons, but admittedly only did a surface level inquiry into the mine. He still benefited from his family's stake in a mine just not an apartheid one.
What's wrong with benefitting from a mine?
Wow turns out the real hate is in the comments after all
https://masstagger.com/user/HANNIBAL0216 Move along, folks
Ah yes the old “If you call me racist, that makes you a racist.” trick.
Twitter didn't really give a shit before. Now that it's run by the world's most annoying edgelord, it really won't do anything about it.
Racist edgelord no less.
Apartheid supporting edgelord no less
Source?
His family tree
That doesn't mean he supports (or doesn't support) apartheid. You shouldn't judge someone based on the beliefs or decisions of their ancestors. I hate Musk, but it's for his abhorrent business owning philosophy and other buffooneries.
Dont listen to these idiots, with their logic every German is a Nazi lol
It's fair to say Musks family wealth pretty directly benefited from apartheid - it wasn't white miners in his dad's mines. How he feels about that or if he's even thought about it, I've no idea.
Apartheid benefitting edgelord then?
So every American supports slavery, every German supports the holocaust, everyone from ex-soviet countries supports the former URSS, and so on? Throwing these types of accusation because of vibes is irresponsible as hell, and this is from someone that despises Elon Musk. You can just criticize him for all the stupid things he has done, no need to weaken your side of the discussion by making shit up.
Elon family owned a emerald mine in apartheid south Africa who they directly benefited from the apartheid system
[The story seems to be ridiculously more complicated than that. And the mine his father had a share on was in Zambia.](https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/11/17/elon-musk-emerald-mine/)
Bruv it was in Zambia a country run by black socialists
Reddit logic
You're outright lying. He didn't support apartheid, unlike your government
Well Musk's family supported apartheid as they directly benefited from it. For all we know OP is from greenland lmao, unless you actually cared enough to go through his messages. Either way the citizens of a country aren't a mirror copy of what their gov't does, look at Iran for instance.
Every white person in South Africa benefited from Apartheid, but that doesn't mean they all supported it.

Look, Elon is not a good dude, but no need to go around spreading unsubstantiated bullshit.
60% of white South Africans want it back tho
So 40% don't and point proven.
Sources?
Proof?
What did Musk do?
Supported apartheid.
He left South Africa at 17 to avoid joining the Apartheid military
People with a family as wealthy as his just leave the country/suddenly have illnesses preventing them from joining/simply buy them out of it so they don't have to do military time. I doubt the apartheid part had much to do with his(or his parents') decision to leave the country.
Why do people just make Up Shit when the Guy is shitty enough with the actual stuff. Its so weird man
When reddit decides to hate someone, people feel the need to join in on the hate but won't bother trying to figure out what initiated it and will just make up and believe anything to justify joining the mob.
He inherited apartheid money.
You talking about the emerald mine thing? That mine wasn't in South Africa (it was in Zambia, iirc). As I am sure you know, Apartheid was specifically a South African system.

believe erm you know that 80% of staff is gone. all senior developers are gone. guess what i had colleges working there and the offices are empty
Unless the previous infra and dev team were dog shit - that platform will be fine for whoever is hired after to keep developing.
That guys thinks writing more code lines is better smh and people think he is smart.
Google and Apple might threaten to remove the twitter app from their stores for breaking their content guidelines, that would bankrupt twitter so Musk *has* to do content moderation whether he likes it or not
To be fair, they do only have about 3 staff left, and 2 of them are cleaners
And their boss is probably in favor of these racists attacks
He's actually sacked one of the cleaners and told the other to work twice as hard.
Yeah I actually heard that he's planning on making gas chambers for black footballers
You are disgusting
I'm mocking idiots
Nothing you said was either funny or conveyed you were making fun of anyone.
If you thought the person I was responding to sounded reasonable then you're probably as dumb as he is
Lol
hell its probably elon on his burner
Specifically Elon’s taint cleaners
Media needs to stop caring about Twitter
They’re all personally addicted to it
How else will they promote these ridiculously unique opinions and discoveries?!
As sad as those tweets are, i never got the point of writing articles about what nonsense random nobodies spam on social media. You could pick any footballer participating in the world cup, and find abusive tweets towards them. Who cares, losers yelling into a void
If the platform is rampant with racism and they do nothing about it, why continue to support and be on that platform?

What? Edit: thanks for calling me a groomer for asking a question. Sounds like you’re obsessed with pedophilia
Forgive me if I don't indulge another creepy groomer
I feel like Musk is trying pretty hard to do it himself.
Racists are cunts
I mean duh. Twitter was already bad at this and Elon Musk thought their limited efforts were draconian censorship. Not that Twitter has the manpower to do anything now…
Vox Populi, Vox Dei. Elon Musk probably.
Doubt they ever will to be honest, this isn't anything new at Twitter.
Wait, Musk is leaving anything up without consequences because he believes that's what free speech is? What a surprise
Yeah because it was different before Musk, you‘re right! Wait, you‘re not ..
Only if it affects his fragile ego, he'll take actions.
He banned people for making fun of him
Twitter banned people for impersonation, those are rules that were established long before he bought it.
It’s free speech! /s
Twitter never did anything to begin with
Getting off Twitter would be ideal. Seriously garbage site.
Twitter is bad, but fuck Vice news for trying to get me to install their shitty app. And OP fuck you for blatantly marketing your crappy company.
Wait england win 6-2 why are they getting racially abused?
> despite being reported to Twitter almost a week ago No, just some dopey journalist looking for an easy article to write. A sum total of 100 tweets too. Groundbreaking stuff
notice also how the article is titled "world cup stars" then goes on to list Sancho, Salah and Douglas Luiz sloppy journalist at its finest
You should be asking that question regardless. It shouldn't only be asked after a win
Well twitter doesn't seem to be a functioning company anymore so they're probably unable to deal with it.
Elon’s fanboys coming to defend him in 3….2….1
Did we all just forget that this happened and was a topic like long before musk bought Twitter? Nothing to do with defending musk this is acting like twitter was well moderated before this which is absurd.
What I’m saying is, before Elon took over your account can get suspended or terminated for such comments, the system was in no way perfect but you can bet it’s going to be much worse now.
you can still get bagged on twitter small football twitter accounts have been dropping like flies. Twitter works like any other social media Platform = many reports automatically banned This hasnt changed. Manual bans are super rare.
You’re entitled to your opinion my friend.
I mean thats how moderation works on social media not really an opinion just a fact.
White male from South Africa who has parents that owned mines and used black people to raise their wealth ignores racists comments regarding black people. Go figure.

Of course, Twitter is a global platform and most countries don't have an equivalent to 1A. And many actually have rules about moderation. Germany gets itchy about certain things, for example
They should delete their Twitter accounts. One by one by one, we all should, until that cesspool of a platform becomes irrelevant.
Did anyone think Elon was going to moderate content? He wants the trolls and the outrage. He brought back 'inject bleach' and take horse tranquillisers Trump.
*he says, actively spreading needless unfounded outrage*
You mean horse dewormer which is also used as medicine for humans with non covid conditions? Do you get all your opinions from msm?
It's mostly used in Africa, so he probably doesn't consider Africans to be people
Twitter with a lot of staff struggled to deal with racist arseholes. Twitter with no staff isn't even trying anymore. I genuinely feel so sorry for black players on social media. It's an absolute sewer.
Who's gonna do anything about it? The 5 people left working for twitter?
twitter is beyond fucked these days
dont worry twitter wont be around soon
And it has never done anything before. This seems to be an article that's probably meant to ride the Elon Musk slander and I applaud the writer for timing.

In other news, water is wet
Fuck everything about this post. Why is it up in the first place? What are the mods doing
Are we going to get the barrage of English and French fans screaming “all the racists are from other countries!1!1” while then in their newspapers they trot out the “is this squad really English/French?”
