Support NeoGAF

[LegendOfKage]

Exactly, if he just did what he said he would do it would be one thing. The problem is he said he had certain goals in mind for the platform, but everything he does runs counter to that. It makes him look like a complete hypocrite. Granted, nobody’s perfect, but this a real tour de force of ruining whatever credibility he had.

Even community notes (as beneficial, non-partisan, and smartly designed and operated as it is) still could be argued to not be consistent with supporting free speech over all else, and the same could be said for the labels he's been assigning. And don't even get me started on what he did to Taibbi, or asking people to pay before their "free" speech can be seen.

But ironically enough, for someone pushing conspiracy theories on his platform, community notes sure does a good job of helping people avoid falling for them:

It's amazing to see Elon out himself, and create a propaganda machine with twitter (he is the propaganda).

 

[HoodWinked]

we get it you hate him. i dunno like he killed your first born or something.

Elon is the worst CEO that I have ever seen.

Musk lies about every and anything.

Elon is the shittiest CEO that I have ever witnessed. Tesla would likely be way further ahead if all he did was raise money for them and never ran the company. He’s garbage, but it teaches you truly how powerful being first to the market really is.

If only Musk was mentally stable.

If only musk had a brain.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Amazing!™

I can't help but be amazed by him destroying twitter and becoming infamous as an internet troll baby when just 2-3 years ago everything was different.

Elon needs to read this book

Idk man, all those posts saying the same thing? Sounds like a Musk sponsored psyop to me

Is this one of them dastardly conspiracy theories? Sounds like Russian dis, mis, what is are we on now? information. I think we need HelpfulNotes to assist with your assertion.

I love misleading stats. I see it all the time at work.

- 100% growth! No kidding. Your account started selling the product mid way through last year. This year you got all 12 months

- 100% growth! No kidding x2. Last year we had big inventory cuts. Your sales this year are back to normal where they were in 2021

- This year our costs have dropped a lot. Our account was 25% last year, but this year we are trending to 23%. No kidding x3. This year we got a new product line which has a low cost structure. Anyone taking it will have their overall costs go down. But if I exclude those new products so its an apples to apples comparison to last year, your cost structure actually rose to 27%

- If you approve this deal, my total annual cost only goes up 0.2%. Youre right it does. But nice try. Declined. Your Christmas deal to Walmart is $500,000 at 40%. Your current situation is $20,000,000 at 18%. Doesn't look too hot to me. Youre truckload deal is more than double the costs

One thing is a constant and sure thing, he does know how to gaslight and trigger the piss out of an emotionally hyper segment. Almost as if one took notes from their dear media leaders.

The exact people we didn't want him taking notes from, sadly.

Interested in seeing who he picked.

He's playing by the very same set of binary we rules with his gaslighting and hottakes. Just not for thee.

Oh geeze, the new Twitter CEO is Chairman of the WEF's Taskforce on Future of Work and sits on the WEF's Media, Entertainment and Culture Industry Governors Steering Committee. She is also highly engaged with the Value in Media initiative. I guess hopes of a free Twitter are gone, back to leftist agenda!

definitely a move to appease advertisers. though if someone were ideologically opposed, what's to prevent them from sabotaging it from within. they probably would even get applauded on their way out considering how sectarian everything has become.

I dont recall any of the old guard ever implying a very real mass shooting was a psyop. Just saying.

Jm not really seeing anything that screams "leftists agenda" here

 

[LegendOfKage]

I would assume the "psyop" part was being suggested to be the evidence found, not the shooter or his victims. In fact, we already have real proof of what Musk thought of an accusation that a shooting was done with staged actors. The person making those claims is still permanently banned from twitter.

But that's just a clarification to challenge the accusation that you just made. I'm not defending Musk, and like I said before, I think it was a stupid thing for him to say.

Jm not really seeing anything that screams "leftists agenda" here

Both for the purposes of avoiding needless political labels, and for further clarification, I'd say a better description would be "elitist establishment agenda, coming from a place that is notorious for their intent and efforts to control speech."

However, I should also say that if she comes from that world but doesn't happen to share their values when it comes to speech, that could prove to be a very good thing for Musk and Twitter. For now, I'll wait and see. It's not like we have any other option.

 

[LegendOfKage]

She retweeted the "woke mind virus" clip, and also just recently interviewed Musk in the video above. I think it's safe to say he feels they're on the same page.

 

[funkygunther]

Musk has himself as owner, chair and also CTO. This CEO is a ceremonial role that can be an easy patsy once it's decided again that Twitter is still a useless business.

I assume more of his time and focus will go back to Tesla and SpaceX, and the CEO will take care of running the company on a day to day basis.

Yes, she will just do what he doesn't want to do but wants to be done.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I have an inside source that the new CEO is named Elona Muskina.

In fact, we already have real proof of what Musk thought of an accusation that a shooting was done with staged actors. The person making those claims is still permanently banned from twitter.

Let's not pretend he's been consistent on who he does and doesn't ban... because he hasn't really. Especially when he's plating either the idea of banning entire need outlets that don't capitulate to his arbitrary labels.

Regardless of how you spin it the "psyop" thing was incredibly, incredibly ill advised of a tweet to make under the circumstances.

But that's just a clarification to challenge the accusation that you just made. I'm not defending Musk, and like I said before, I think it was a stupid thing for him to say.

I didnt even really make an accusation because accusation implies its unclear if he did that or not.

Of course she's establishment. Elon is also establishment. Hes part of the .00001% lol. You cant be as rich as he is and not be establishment.

As for the controlled speech part, I'm not well versed enough on whatever she represents to state definitively how acute that description is so for now ill just take your word on it.

You may think this is a gotcha. The only difference, is the colors of the gang that gaslights with false accusations, lies and constant sewing of division.

Like PV?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

LOL. When it was announced yesterday a new CEO was announced, I thought something happened to Twitter. I couldnt access the site or embedded tweets. I thought it was down.

The page said clear your cache. I did and it worked?!!?!? No other page I had to do that. Weird.

 

[Outlier]

Let's not be surprised he's putting in a WEF goon. He's a part of the club, too.

As long as I can still see the porn and funny social commentary tweets I'll be fine.

 

[Toons]

No, I think there's a pretty big difference between implying a real shooting is a psyop whilst running Twitter, and not implying a real shooting is a psyop whilst running Twitter lol

It's okay. I know you're lost in the sauce.

Another WEF shill. Damn, that fucking sucks. Have people been calling him out on it?

in other news, Elon will be working as VP in marketing for Bud Light!

I’m waiting for them to finally put out Bud Light Light.

The complete tweet Elon was replying to:

"During her interview with you, she was most excited about your initiative to limit reach of tweets which are deemed hateful. “Freedom of speech, not freedom of reach.” In fact, that was her main selling point to the advertising exes in the audience, as she kept coming back to it. She went on to chastise you twice for tweeting after 3am, because people are concerned about that sort of behaviour. What? She also wanted advertising execs to be part of an influence council within Twitter. She‘a not here to improve the user experience. She wants Twitter to be a ‘safe space.’ She represents advertisers, and her natural inclination is to limit speech, and pander to those who push woke ideology on the world. You will have to watch her like a hawk. She was also thrilled to spend $100,000,000 on social justice initiatives while at NBC, and forwarded government authoritarian propaganda that the way back to a normal life was to “wear your mask!” No doubt she’ll bring in advertising revenue in the short term, but she’s a long-term mistake."
