OT Musk/Twitter - The Great Experiment

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

Wars will be fought in the name of Elon for a thousand years. Crusades. Believers will be saved and infidels will burn for eternity.

Seems somewhat plausible, actually. Seems like a lot of people are interested in belonging to a cult lately.

I rarely use Twitter, sometimes for live or breaking news, if I'm looking for a specific persons take on a topic, Wojbombs of course, my favorite sports teams, and my friends I guess.

All this to say, I just tried to log on and I can't access on my Pixel 6pro. Updated the app, force quit, nothing. The browser works but I'm curious if anyone else is having this problem..

Works fine on my Pixel 6 Pro.
 
Well duh!

If they would have done that they would have had to change their name to the Expensivemasons.

Do you know how hard it was to order business cards in the 13th century?!?

Seems like those guys could have chiseled their name and address into a rock or something.
 
Well well well. Musk letting Trump back on. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT.


Hadn't Musk already said this?

He's opposed to permanent bans. Rather, supporting removal of the illegal post or making it less visible, as well as temporary suspensions. He believes it gives the banned person a more focused voice to the intended audience.

Here is a quote, but I would recommend watching the whole answer. Takes about 3 minutes.

Banning Trump from Twitter didn't end Trump's voice. It will amplify it among the right. And this is why it is morally wrong, and flat out stupid.

He hadn’t said it, or else it would not have been news today.

I just watched and I truly think everything he said is complete and utter bullshit.

It’s not. Trump having a social media account isn’t that big of a deal either. Not everything you find personally distasteful is a grave threat to humankind. You don’t reserve the right to have everything you don’t agree with personally removed from your consciousness, but it is your right to remove yourself from that situation if you choose. Functioning adults have had to make these choices since the beginning of time without the help of babysitters moderating everything that enters their stream of awareness. You’ll manage.

That’s shortsighted. If you (still) don’t see the damage that has been done because that twat has been given a voice to the millions of gullible, ignorant, stupid followers and how it’s impacted the country, then sure, throw his fat ass back on the biggest social media platform possible. There are tons of people I don’t agree with. I don’t want them banned from Twitter. Because they don’t have the impact that he does. Joe Schmoe from Topeka might be a douche but who cares. He thinks I’m a douche. Neither of us influences the nation. So, if you don’t think Trump back on Twitter is a big deal, you’re not seeing the big picture.

I agree with Joe Schmoe!

(just kidding)

I think it depends on how it's handled... If it's handled poorly I think it will be bad for twitter and something else will take Twitter's place.

Trump has already said he's not going back to twitter. We'll see how that plays out...
