Ah, so he’s going to stop posting there? Right?
Now that the election is over and we won, let’s remove our bots. - musk
Oh, c’mon, who’s going to tell him he is the best dad? He needs them.
I mean, he will on an alt.
Ah, but there are still elections in other parts of the world, like Germany, where he is also very active
No, bots are still needed for hating illegal immigrants.
Immigration hate causing backlash against H1Bs, abort, abort!
The bots are removed! All 9 users (8 of them are EM sockpuppets) celebrate!
No no, guys, you’re misunderstanding. He MEANS there’s too much negativity from people saying things like “X sucks since musk bought twitter…”
He’s going to change those people’s tweets to say “X is great!”
And by that I mean he’s going to have a team to edit tweets that he doesn’t like!
If that’s not free speech, then Musk doesn’t know what is!
This is exactly what he means.
Next up the sanctioned daily hate.
A team? You mean ChatGPT?
…also yes.
This has nothing to do with Twitters image. He could have enforced that decision sooner if it was. This is about Trump. The negativity was helpful during Bidens presidency. Now that Trump is about to take over everything has to look like the world is happy again. It’s political manipulation.
It is all good now. Our elections are suddenly secure and our economy is great!
He’s shutting down his account?
No he’s gonna ban anyone who disagrees with him.
That ain’t going to turn down the negativity though

If there’s going to be fantasies about murder, can his whole posse go out?
This is a fantasy about suicide but… yes.
Wish I could know what this said before it was censored
Check out the mod log.
Just looked: regardless of your personal opinion the comment is a breach of the terms of posting. It essentially said Musk should permanently retire himself from life.

Esteemed fellows as regarded as they are do have to show a presence I guess. There are no good billionaires afterall
Lol. Free Speech guy!
free speech absolutist
Free speech abolitionist, more like.
my puppet is in power — everyone be nice now.
Instead of “bad” you have to say “ungood” from now on.
Double plus ungood!
“Maybe if you tell me the bad news in a good way, it won’t sound so bad.”
The bad news in a good way. Yes, I can do that. The bad news in a good way. Well, here it goes…
X/Twitter is a misinformation platform. If you know a major influencer that uses, consider informing and directing them to the ActivityPub alternatives, even advertising on their platforms if you can.
Closing the shop will achieve that goal perfectly.
negativity about him.
Yeah the best thing Trump can do for himself is Epstein another friend
I thought the whole point of being right wing was being negative?
When your whole identity is consumed by boundless, baseless, joyless hatred of “the other”, yes, you’re gonna be negative.
I don’t believe Musk is controlled by any of that though. He might share in it, but it doesn’t quite dictate him as much as it dictates those in actual misery. For example, he isn’t actually opposed to letting immigrants in, if they’ll make him richer. He’s motivated by greed and grift, and no small helping of pride.
I suspect he just doesn’t want people criticising him and his cronies. Particularly when they inevitably start enacting policies that affect their base negatively (we’ve already seen our share of face-eating leopard voters shocked to find out that their face isn’t off limits), social media could help pissed off people realise how many others are pissed off too. I don’t think I need to spell out why that could be dangerous for him.
Better to quell dissent entirely. If nobody can complain about the government, it’s harder to organise against it. Suppress criticism, censor the media, manipulate what you get to see to shape your view…
(Obligatory note that calling a dictatorship communism doesn’t make it less authoritarian than a capitalist dictatorship. Red boots hurt just as much as any other color if they step on your neck, no matter how tasty they might be. That has nothing to do with the topic, I’m just bracing for tankie whataboutisms.)
I was being slightly sarcastic cause right wing folk seem to be very negative, or nostalgic, but in a negative sense. But I get your point.
Oh you’re absolutely right, I just felt like spelling out the subtext of “Musk isn’t in it for the right wing mentality, just for the power” that I thought you were hinting at but left unsaid. I wasn’t trying to contradict you at all, but rather to expand on your setup.
I appreciate the comment cause it’s definitely something I haven’t considered enough.
He’s such a fucking baby
Now that the election is over, he’s hiding the lightning rod.
