Here's the thing, though: Twitter isn't the world, it's a place people go and publicly state their opinions. It's not the first place to do it, and it won't be the last.
The REAL public squares still exist (town halls, school board meetings, HOA meetings, political town hall meetings). There are ample places for your voice to be heard, this obsession of Twitter being a "necessity" is asinine.
You want real change? Push for our lawmakers to legislate social media. While they're at it, make them crack down on cable news, too.

A dude on ResetEra has berated a fellow poster for mocking people in six figure salary jobs who haven’t saved anything.
The infantilisation over there is incredible.
OF COURSE YOU SHOULD BE SAVING IF YOU EARN THAT MUCH.
Good Lord.

That's not what I said nor implied. It shows the bullshit double standard even you took issue with
Double standard implies they're the same tier of impact.
One led to some news coverage for like 2 months.
The other led to, well ya know. Something from last January.
Bit of a difference there.
Russiagate lasted 2 months, and was only news coverage? Yea there definitely wasn't an entire investigation and election denial still to this day associated with it.

To be fair... 100k in San Francisco is... not great.
That said.. if you're making 100k living in San Francisco and you've bought a Tesla, you are living beyond your means.

Good stuff. Hopefully this becomes a trend.

Kanye better be on that council; that’s the only way to ensure content moderation is fair and balanced.

Consider: Youtube makes, I believe, ~$25-30B a year in revenue from advertising. Twitter can monetize their fraction of this by launching their own video service. And that's just to start, before you get into the crazy idea of building a western WeChat analog that incorporates payments, navigation, buying, etc. Just have to see where they go with it, the potential is there.

Companies and outlets publicly ridiculing Musk and/or calling him out for his decisions. It applies more public pressure on advertisers which is where the real power lies now.

Russiagate didn't result in an attempted coup either. If it did we might be having a different convo.
Like there's misinformation like "x did a thing maybe probably" or "birds aren't real" and then there's stuff that has actual real world consequences and cost lives like the conspiracies and the pizza gate and whatnot.
I generally opt to consider them by the severity of the claims and the consequences that brings.

It was funny reading the "billionaire vanity project" when Elon Musk went in on SpaceX. Now look at the rocket technology and innovation.
At some point some of the detractors need to realize Elon Musk isn't stupid. He didn't put this much risk on the table to be some "savior of free-speech."

It's only sensible if it's actually diverse and not just "diverse".

Man, journalist standards have really slipped recently. I saw the lady is big shot at CNBC, you would have thought cross checking your sources was kinda basic.

They don't need to check sources when what they're posting hurts someone they don't like.

Bet they won't leave though.
Elon should give them what they want, and ban Blizzard’s account
