If everyone truly "had the right to make up their own minds about what to read, write, or listen to," there would be no justification for Mr Musk's paid $8 subscription fee and its associated tweet-boosting algorithm.
Elon’s starship go boom. Why did Elon’s starship go boom? Elon’s starship is not he man starship like USS Enterprise. Elon distracted because advertisers had commercials that were featured with sad sack guys with no girlfriends that posted hateful things about Jewish people and now advertisers are not giving Elon 💰💰because of that. Elon probably got sad over that. Maybe that’s why Elon’s starship go boom.
I don’t claim to know anything about how Xitter works…but if Musk likes and shares something antisemitic, and his posts are routinely pushed into everyone’s feeds because it’s his fucking company so fuck you, how is that giving people the opportunity to choose what to see?
"The post also included a screenshot of a letter titled “Stand with X to protect free speech,” in which Musk tried to claim that somehow Media Matters did something nefarious in order to come up with those results, other than literally follow several accounts on the site that we can presume are followed by others as well."
`
"Help, help! I'm being judged by my words and actions!"
"In a post on the social media site, Musk announced that he will be filing a “thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and ALL those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company.”"
`
By that same principle, all the oil companies should band together and sue Tesla for not using gasoline.
"The post also included a screenshot of a letter titled “Stand with X to protect free speech,”"

So, if I'm to understand this correctly: Lonnie the free speech absolutist, after charging subscribers to be heard, and banning everyone he doesn't like, now wants the government to force advertisers to pay him.
"Advertisers used to like having their ads next to cool celebrity tweets and feel less great about having them next to posts from someone calling themselves Catturd."

Now, I'm not some sort of... [modest chuckle]... heh heh... FANCY BIG CITY MARKETING EXPERT... but three seconds' worth of thought would suggest that corporations would not want ads for their high-ticket products appearing next to swastikas and lynching "jokes".
No one is interested in paying Twitter prices for Parler.

The fact that Twitter has survived this long under his leadership is truly astounding. It just needs to die already.
Holy MSWord Basic Template, Batman!
Well, there's always the ICBM market.
Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly isn't that what happened once Musk bought twitter?
Fuck Elno, but all hail Starship!
rapid unscheduled disassembly is my punk rock tribute band
Gonna make for an expensive tour, what with having to smash your instruments after every song.
i can't play anyway, i just get the busted keyboard from the thrift shop
A bit "on the nose", but I'll allow it!
Really looking forward to when other bloggers stop linking to Twitter and just use screenshots. If it's in a Twitter link, I'm not reading it

OT: I apologize to the Wonketariat for losing my temper Friday night.
I'll be taking some time off. See you on down the road.

I think it's on the basis of Musk assuming everyone cares about and wants to see what he has to Xweet. Which, you know what they say about assuming...
Elon Musk and the ADL actually agree: anti-Israel sentiment is antisemitism. Actual antisemitism is okay.
I would only add that anti slaughtering Palestinians sentiment is also antisemitic.
