Was this not happening before? Because that blurb didn't actually refute anything she said it seemed to mostly clarify it with context.
Thats definitely a useful tool to keep around topics like that

LOL if anyone did that before Elon bought Twitter they'd be permanently suspended.

Have you guys ever watched these thunderf00t videos on Musk? Holy shit lol. Guy has been ripping him a new asshole for a while now.

What does this mean for Truth Social?

Nothing because Trump's deal with them means all social media posts by him are exclusive there for 6 hours. Twitter gets the stale mean Tweets.

For a guy who complained a ton about the number of bots and fake accounts on twitter, he sure made a big decision by letting literally anyone vote in a poll.

He is not very coherent… it’s why he’s making all of those bad decisions. Guy makes no sense at all.

Their fates do seem entwined and heading in the same direction.
Basically 3 folks who are likely bipolar.. musk is on the spectrum as he self admits so he's not a 100% even in the best of times.

The meltdown over letting a person tweet is incredible.

If it's true that Truth Social is powered by Mastodon (which I've thought I've heard before), isn't it kind of weird that people would leave Twitter for the that particular competitor?
Why would you suggest that being bipolar has anything to do with being autistic? I'm afraid I'm not following you here.

So Twitter is hemorrhaging momey due to the exodus of advertisers due to the uncertainty and lack of moderation. Then the $8 Twitter Verification fiasco goes horribly wrong and costs them even MORE advertisers.
Elon's response is to unban some of the most high profile offensive and brand damaging people that were banned for good reason like Andrew Tate . Then on top of that he unbans Trump of all people?
Man I'm sure those advertisers will be back any day now. What fuckin shitshow
If the poll had gone the other way he would have figured some other way to unban him. It brings eyes and clicks which makes his little graphs look real nice. The problem is that advertisers don't want to touch any of this mess with a 10ft pole thanks to all his recent moderation decisions.
So it's all for not anyway lol

His decision was made before he ever made the poll. He knew the decision was unpopular, but the poll gives him the cover of "it's what the people want" even though everyone involved knlws the poll is filled with bots and troll accounts from both sides.

It did refute some of it since she was implying that J6 rioters actively caused other people to die.

Twitter was already haemorrhaging money. Do you mean more money?

I'm not. I'm saying they all could be, but we know Musk is autistic. That clear?

It’s going to lose even more now. What musk is doing is dramatically damaging the brand to the point of no return.

What could possibley go wrong. Uh, possibly go wrong. That's the first thing that's ever gone wrong.
I make posts with typos all the time, but I had to post that.

For better or worse, this is the most interesting Twitter has been in ages.
Narcissism seems to be their most dominant common quality with all the tendencies. Reckless when desperate.

Yes. And it's not just "more money". It's "a shitload more money".

So should advertisers be pressured to leave if someone people don't like CAN post, even if they decide not to post, and even if they never post again? It would be weird if that turned out to be what happens.

I don’t think Trump will be able to help himself. As far as advertisers are concerned, I don’t think they’ll want to be associated with a brand that allows trump to run rampart on their platform. Not after everything he’s done. But, ultimately, it’s their choice.

Fox News is associated with Trump, the right, and everything liberals hate. And they don't have problems finding advertisers.
Twitter will be just fine.

Watch out guys Trump is running rampant. The level of hyperbole over a dude tweeting is hilarious.

Cringe or not, keeping someone banned who is running for public office doesn’t sit right with me. Not really the “public square” in that case.
Won’t be surprised if this thread is nuked soon lol

Bread and circuses. It's all just a game for Elon Musk. All of it. Might as well laugh at the situation.
Really now...is he going to decide all future ban appeals through a poll? Otherwise, he's establishing a double standard.
I mean, it's funny to see people both getting super happy and super mad about this, but even Trump has bigger issues to deal with right now than whether he's on Twitter or not.

I would guess if we're discussing him as it relates to what advertisers may do, or how it could affect the general level of activity at Twitter, that would be fine. I wouldn't go into the subject beyond that, though. I hope that people will get thread banned if they do ignore the no politics rule, rather than the whole topic being closed. This entire situation with Twitter is fascinating to watch unfold.

Regardless of how you feel about him politically (I’m not a fan) it was a mistake to ban him. To many his tweets were unbecoming of an elected official and a major turn off to just enough republicans and swing voters to cost him the election in 2020. Trump not driving every single news cycle daily with his tweets has kept him largely out of sight and out of mind to anyone who isn’t watching cable news to the point where some people are forgetting just how nuts social and traditional media sentiment was from 2016-2020. For people who don’t want him re-elected why turn off an outlet that lets him showcase exactly who he is?
