Elon did something even Trump couldn't do - he bought Twitter with his petty cash. And now he is risking losing tens of billions by absolutely going nuclear with it.
Elon has my infinite respect. Even if I don't share the same opinions as him on everything.
exactly its mind numbing how people expect everyone to have same opinion on 100/100 things. I bet half this forum can't agree on even a dozen issues. But lets put Elon over the coals because he doesn't agree with the timeframe of Alex back on twitter. GTFO
the second you disagree with someone on something on this forum, they call you a pedo. its the same as leftists calling you a nazi for disagreeing. fucking stupid.
There's actually an easy answer to this. The people on this forum that do that voted for Hillary in 2016. They changed sides and realized Trump was good but they haven't broken their old habits.
It couldn't just be some people have shit takes and don't agree with each other about it? Nah it's gotta be crypto-democrats agents!
MAGA naturally had a lot of broad appeal under the same tent. Most people with any vested interest in their country would want it to succeed. Even if they can agree on that one thing, doesn't mean they agree on different topics. And then there are some that are just retarded. They are poorly read/low information idiots running their mouth about shit they don't understand. And then they have panic attacks when others call them out on it. Which causes them to run their mouth even more, proving the original point that continues to fly over their head.
Lol. Are you mad because you call people
Pedos that don’t agree with you. I’d imagine you supported Hillary in 2016.. you probably secretly like joe Biden
The timeframe? Dude he flat out said "too bad" and essentially implied he would never unban him. He was asked to clarify and that was his response - literally gloated about banning Jones. What's mind numbing is people like you that continuously shill for controlled opposition every time they throw you a bone. Every time it's the same excuse. Muh "purity tests" and "don't need to agree 100%". You are in a constant state of denial. Yes we do need to agree 100%... on certain things which are non-negotiable. Just maybe... if people compromise on those things, that's a good sign that they are not on your side and are playing you for a fool.
Great explanation as to why you're a complete fucking idiot.
And I'm sure unbanning Alex Jones will look a bit different, in due time, when he isn't being handed judgements for half a trillion dollars for defamation. Only an idiot would reinstate a banned account on a speech platform in the midst of all of that.
And we all love Alex Jones but, no, there's no reason to consider standing with a demonstrably unstable lunatic 100% of time, much less consider it non-negotiable. Rigid thinking like that is the provenance of literal morons.
Plus, he's still in the middle of it. People act like nothing will ever change down the line when that cools off and Twitter is more settled into new management, etc.
People just like to think in absolutes and bitch about everything.
Nah right now, when your railroaded in court and silenced on all media, is not a good time to let you have a voice. We're on the same team though "free speech!" am I right.
Most people aren't 100% in agreement with what individual libery even means. Hell, I'd bet you a quarter even GEOTUS himself might not fit that 100% mentality. I'm not saying Elon is MAGA but at least give credit where it is due. We aren't the left, we tend to be welcoming to those willing to open their eyes. Even if they are slow doing so.
All Jones said is it's possible the whole thing was staged so they could use it to go gun grabbing. A view held by literally millions. How that could become "personal" somehow is odd.
Is that what AJ was really banned for? If that is the case he should ban any person/media outlet that claimed Trump colluded with Russia, Kavenaugh was a rapist or that all the Jan 6 protestors were terrorist. All of these things were also theories that were proven to be false. The claims are “personal” to those involved so why is there a difference?
It is personal for him in terms of losing a child. As above stated, don't crucify everyone you don't agree with 100% you won't get far in life. take this W and build on it.
He's simply an Autistic adult who can't process his feelings so he takes hardcore stances. He completely ignores his living children. The only time he spends with them is through email and that was him saying that.... So what does he care about a dead child of his? I mean really?
Elon said " I will not ban someone from Twitter for saying things unless they are specifically illegal"
He lied.
He is a half chinee faggot. With the CCPs dick so far up his ass he has tricked you "influencer following" zoomer homosexuals that EVs are straight bussin' no cap, fr, fr.
Morons.
Intelligence puppet who has you believing he landed Rockets several of them simultaneously on drone driven platforms like synchronized water ballet dancers and launched a convertible sports car that he said was not space proofed in any way and you believe all of that. You realize that when the Sun hits you it's about 450° and in the shade it's about negative 320 °, how do you think the plastic untreated Dash and that little plastic toy will fare in 450° temperatures do you think the paint might melt? He said that he did not space proof for alter that car in any way you're expecting me to believe that he kept a 6,000 lb battery which would cost tens of millions of dollars just an extra weight to have the escape Velocity to get outside of our orbit? Are you completely insane
I know right? How dare when Musk claims to be a "free speech absolutist," people point out that he really isn't and hold him accountable for his words.
I'm guessing sometime when we aren't weeks out from him being handed judgements in excess of the GDP of multiple small countries for defamation. Shocking that a speech platform doesn't want to sign up for a piece of that potential liability.
The Alex Jones ruling is an assault on freedom of speech. Either you support freedom of speech or you don't, and if we're truly in a "battle for the future of civilization" then Elon Musk should put his money where his mouth is.
It's a matter currently still under adjudication and who knows where it will go with appeals.
No, it's not a matter of "you either support free speech or you don't" when possible liability is in play. Musk is right to leave that particular matter to the side for now.
He bought twitter and is going so nuclear he gets more posts here than Trump right now and has the White House shitting bricks.
But he is still a business owner. He doesn't have to bake Alex Jones's cake.
I like Alex Jones and I would welcome him back to twitter. But to choose that as some big issue while Elon might actually expose election conspiracy is so fucking myopic I don't even know where to start.
Mumusk made it a big issue by answering to some question he simply could have ignored. Later restoring Jones' account in the wake of the great unbanning would have been pretty unnoticed.
Conjecture spewed with a extra strain of Q-grade hopium. He's going "so nuclear" the deep state is just giving up!!! It's all over, Elon is gonna save us all boys! He knows the plan, 64-dimensional-underwater-badmitten-chess plays here!!! Yeee haw!!!
I wouldn't call it petty cash. From what I recall, he had to secure some pretty heavy duty loans to pull the sale off. Otherwise selling enough Tesla stock would have crushed it's value.
He's taking a pretty significant financial bet with this, which says to me he has a profitable long term goal, but in the short term, losing money to push back corporate tyranny and collusion with a corrupt government is something he's willing to swallow.
I once thought he was just fucking with them, but he went in hard. And the way he's talking, he must have been biting his tongue throughout the whole process.
Not team Musk, don't need to be, but our interests for the time being are aligned.
Purity test peeps. We don't need the media hanging Alex Jones around Elon Musk's neck right now when he's trying to make skeptics pay attention to what he is saying about the evils that we are up against.
We're not fighting "inter-dimensional space vampires" we're fighting tyranny right here on planet earth. Alex will be back at some point, but there are more important issues at stake and I think Alex Jones would agree with that.
Give it time? Musk himself said flat out it's not a matter of time. "Too bad" is what he said when asked to clarify and when confronted on the issue. You are in denial.
I don't see anyone simping for Elon. I see people pointing out that what he's doing is helping us more than anyone else right now. You don't have to trust him, you don't have to like him. I don't like him, because he made it possible for the left to ban cars. But he's like a bus headed in the right direction. You don't have to like the bus in order to hop on for a few stops.
This is the exact point I've been trying to make, yet people here in this board are becoming so ideologically possessed they remind me of legit leftists.
We don't have to like the guy, he doesn't have to be your best friend or the guy you support. He doesn't even have to have a shred of your trust - but to completely and totally just disregard this win, and snuff your nose at the fact that twitter is becoming an anti-left bastion in an industry that's flooded, absolutely flooded with leftism, is just absurd.
If we keep acting like that, and can't even accept a win or an ally -even temporarily, then we're already done for. We might as well just delete this board and give up on the notion of ever seeing any sort of political victory or return to normal, because that sort of pearl clutching will result in a direct path to defeat.
Yeah, he has basically said that AJ is going to be his one little guilty symbolic easter egg. He's going to reinstate everyone else but keep just this one reminder in place of "I own this site and can do whatever the fuck I want and don't have to explain myself or get anyone's permission."
Even Alex Jones commented it wouldn't be smart for Elon to unban him currently. I'm no Musk simp - he isn't MAGA IMO - but if the person in question themselves says unbanning them isn't wise, I think it makes our side look stupid for being so pissed about it.
Let the left be the ones to eat their own and not give credit - or accountability - where it is due. Elon is an upgrade from Twatter's old owners. He is making our enemies REEEE harder than hearing the definition of a woman. Props to him for that. Let's see where things stand in a year. Or whenever AJ starts saying it isn't good to keep him gone after dust settles.
I'm not a lawyer, but as far as I know Jones was not found guilty of defamation, in both Texas and Connecticut he was given a default judgement for supposedly failing to fulfill discovery or something like that.
He was found guilty of defamation. By clearly bullshit reasons but he was found guilty of it. The case you're talking about he was found guilty by default by not disclosing something but was still found guilty of defamation.
I've never quoted Nancy, I wasn't even aware that she said it. It's been said a billion times before, including by Pat Buchanan. It's a well-worn saying. Idiots downvoting me for no reason.
AJ is a fucking huge liability and would paint an easy target on an already fragile Twitter. Adding him back today would certainly lower the odds of a successful outcome. Learn to chess.
You'll find at the heart of communism, an evil known as greed.
Sacrificing the future for right now.
It has absolutely infected our culture so much that it's polar opposite is considered by mainstream culture to be an evil racial trait that must be eradicated.
Well, we're definitely not willing to sacrifice 100% purity tested, pearl clutching gate keeping, that's for sure.
Tyranny and the enslavement of our children is atrocious, unspeakable even, but my god could you imagine supporting someone who is only 99% in agreement with you? Shudders..... It would be beyond satanic to accept someone who is legitimately on your side but made a single comment or performed a single action that we don't like.
Anyone who says otherwise must be some sort of nazi
How the fuck do they make that much money doing that though?
I’m guessing that of the millions who see their top response, maybe some will click on their profile? And of that, maybe a few will click on a pinned tweet on that profile that’s promoting something? And of that maybe some fraction will buy something? And of those sales, the original Twitter account gets a tiny cut?
Yeah, no way there’s enough of that happening for them to be getting paid a ton.
The more likely scenario is that they’re just obsessed with hating something, so they live and breathe just waiting for a tweet to respond to. Serious mental illness. Social media has caused more mental instability than drugs.
How the fuck do they make that much money doing that though?
There's tons of ways to monetize a large twitter following. Twitter has pages explaining how - sponsorships, subscriptions, pre-roll ads for videos, and tips, or driving traffic towards their own content elsewhere. A lot of the people with huge accounts needs to show advertisers they reach a large pool of people, and they get paid the more people see them. (Which will be changing significantly with the shutdown of the bots)
I had no clue how it worked, either, until I did some research. Some people are/were making significant incomes off Twitter, and they tend to leech off anything they can for eyeballs/follows.
People see trumps post, then the top comment follow the person making the comment that confirms your bias. That person builds followers by stroking these people's egos and then drops their own tweets advertising something or promoting. Other then pay them to "influence" or promote, it's all marketing garbage.
The loss of free speech became a clear reality already in 2015. Even Musk himself believed in propaganda even later and voted for tyrannical Biden! (after voting for Hillary!).
Now, maybe one big social site is fighting for the free speech, Twitter, but it is big maybe.
True. But I will give Elon credit that he's sort of crawling his way out of the woke pit, slowly and a little more each passing day. Probably not on purpose either, it's just that the sheer craziness of their bullshit has become so glaringly brazen that he figured 44 billion was a small price to pay to give free speech a fair shot at actually thriving again in the moden public town square.
Since he's actually owned it, he's gotten his crack team of coders and devs over from Tesla to comb over the fine details of all the coding and algorithmic setups in place, probably saw some chilling DMs from some important people that weren't scrubbed yet that can probably be considered evidence in a treason trial someday, and that's what's pushing him over the edge faster and faster lately.
I'm just speculating, of course. But this would be the right answer if I were him, which I'm probably not.
Regardless of which way, it’s nice to have someone; regardless of them not giving us 100% of what we want, giving us at least fucking half. Good for Elon. All we want is some motherfucking truth. And even if it isn’t true, give us the ability to say it. When I was in college the onion was all the rage. Those same liberal cucks now yell at disinformation but ban the Babylon Bee. Fuck em. Elon keep doing that thang
I'd imagine he's more awake than what people on PDW give him credit for. The state of society today didn't happen over night, it was slowly transformed over a long period. If it happened suddenly, it wouldn't have gotten to this point.
Elon bought Twitter and with it came years of censorship, lefties, wokeness, etc. His plan is probably to literally go backwards. Slowly restoring free speech over time so users don't flock to a new controlled echo chamber. If he moves too quick, he'd likely lose a lot of lefties. $44b was already an insane price, but his best chance at restoring its value and generating revenue relies on maintaining as many of its existing users as possible as well as new/returning users (conservatives). The pace he goes is everything and every change has the potential to lose/attract millions of users. Hes gambling $44B to maintain the perfect balance
Hes not even trying to be controlled op hes literally NWO beast system anti christ levels of retardation. HE PROBABLY ACTUALLY BELIEVES IN GLOBAL WARMING. THAT TYPE OF IDIOT WILL BE TALKED INTO CULLING THE HERD 100%. IM playing we all know hes a two faced lying sack of shit who works for the Illuminati. He literally wore their logo. I bet he cant wait to give people seizures remotely with his device and say oopsy freedom of reach limited! You have no idea what u have to do to gain the trust of a bunch of luciferians hes a total psyop lol.
Who gives a fuck what he believes? If he actually restores free speech on a truly major platform, even mostly, that is a big improvement. We don't have to like him to take advantage of it. We have a bunch of people here too used to losing to know how to handle even a small success.
he has lots of children and he even knows he wouldnt want his country under tyranny. probably a major reason why he purchased twitter and is fighting for their future. he's playing his own game. fuck you satanists i aint gonna live under tyranny.
He really does come off as a long term thinker. Like beyond our time levels of long term thinking. He's only one person but him buying and purging one of the Left's biggest echochambers was a very good move.
Many doubters over the last couple of months with Elon, and maybe understandably so in some ways. However, I think Elon actually has humanities best interest at heart. Maybe this will be the biggest con-job since the 2022 and 2020 elections, but I think that he actually is relatively based.
Yes, he has many socialist views, but it definitely doesn't seem that way with how he runs his businesses at least.
I don't know how many people saw the Babylon Bee, Elon Musk interview but at the end the Bees asked him to accept Jesus as his personal savior and he did. Since then ...
Alex Jones
Give it time. He's pushing the overton window.
Seriously, the hard on for Alex Jones here...
Elon did something even Trump couldn't do - he bought Twitter with his petty cash. And now he is risking losing tens of billions by absolutely going nuclear with it.
Elon has my infinite respect. Even if I don't share the same opinions as him on everything.
exactly its mind numbing how people expect everyone to have same opinion on 100/100 things. I bet half this forum can't agree on even a dozen issues. But lets put Elon over the coals because he doesn't agree with the timeframe of Alex back on twitter. GTFO
the second you disagree with someone on something on this forum, they call you a pedo. its the same as leftists calling you a nazi for disagreeing. fucking stupid.
Pede, pedo, who's proofreading?
Doesn't matter as long as the Big Guy gets his 10%

Half these people are leftists shilling, so it goes to say that they will use lefty logic to do that.
There's actually an easy answer to this. The people on this forum that do that voted for Hillary in 2016. They changed sides and realized Trump was good but they haven't broken their old habits.

Lol. Are you mad because you call people Pedos that don’t agree with you. I’d imagine you supported Hillary in 2016.. you probably secretly like joe Biden
You're half right - they're here, but they haven't changed sides.
The timeframe? Dude he flat out said "too bad" and essentially implied he would never unban him. He was asked to clarify and that was his response - literally gloated about banning Jones. What's mind numbing is people like you that continuously shill for controlled opposition every time they throw you a bone. Every time it's the same excuse.

lol.
Alex is cool with it. He addresses it. I thought it was very level headed of him.
Did you watch this? https://banned.video/watch?id=637bbffb8399ba50b913b83d
I did too.
Plus, he's still in the middle of it. People act like nothing will ever change down the line when that cools off and Twitter is more settled into new management, etc.
People just like to think in absolutes and bitch about everything.
I agree.
Now we know you're a faggot lmao
The judgements were over an octillion weeks ago. You might want to read up on the current proceedings.
Nah right now, when your railroaded in court and silenced on all media, is not a good time to let you have a voice. We're on the same team though "free speech!" am I right.
Pro Tip: Anyone who uses any form of the phrase "am I right" can't be taken seriously on any level.
99% agreement with individual liberty is 1% tyranny.
1% grows to 2% grows to 5% grows to 10% grows to 20% grows to 50% grows to 80% grows to where we are now in Washington DC.
Most people aren't 100% in agreement with what individual libery even means. Hell, I'd bet you a quarter even GEOTUS himself might not fit that 100% mentality. I'm not saying Elon is MAGA but at least give credit where it is due. We aren't the left, we tend to be welcoming to those willing to open their eyes. Even if they are slow doing so.
Trying to get people to agree 100% is how governments end up being totalitarian dictatorships.
Can you give examples of both things you are willing to compromise versus things you absolutely will not compromise?
All Jones said is it's possible the whole thing was staged so they could use it to go gun grabbing. A view held by literally millions. How that could become "personal" somehow is odd.
Is that what AJ was really banned for? If that is the case he should ban any person/media outlet that claimed Trump colluded with Russia, Kavenaugh was a rapist or that all the Jan 6 protestors were terrorist.

That might be something that he doesn't have in common with the Sandy Hook folks.
I said might be. Hopefully I don't get sued for millions. Or banned from Twitter.
Alex Jones is a grifting fool. Change my mind.
SHIL HARDER MATE check your shite!
Elon said " I will not ban someone from Twitter for saying things unless they are specifically illegal"

Oh it must be true, you absolute retard
I know right? How dare when Musk claims to be a "free speech absolutist," people point out that he really isn't and hold him accountable for his words.
He just started unbanning around 60,000 accounts tonight under the amnesty plan.
Somebody posted the stats, and a significant amount of them have 10K+ followers. Our meme army is being brought back from the dead.
Baby steps. AJ is the nuclear option. It’ll happen, but who knows when that’ll be.
I'm guessing sometime when we aren't weeks out from him being handed judgements in excess of the GDP of multiple small countries for defamation. Shocking that a speech platform doesn't want to sign up for a piece of that potential liability.

No, it's not a matter of "you either support free speech or you don't" when possible liability is in play. Musk is right to leave that particular matter to the side for now.
You're a fucking idiot, too.
You mean like spending 44 billion on a platform? Lol
He bought twitter and is going so nuclear he gets more posts here than Trump right now and has the White House shitting bricks.
But he is still a business owner. He doesn't have to bake Alex Jones's cake.

Words mean things. Absolute means absolute, not "all except a few" or "all except a few and I still control reach."
The boys need their boner broth 5000, I guess.
Remember he said "Free speech is not speech without reach" or something like that. That is NOT FREE SPEECH, PERIOD.
I wouldn't call it petty cash. From what I recall, he had to secure some pretty heavy duty loans to pull the sale off. Otherwise selling enough Tesla stock would have crushed it's value.
He's taking a pretty significant financial bet with this, which says to me he has a profitable long term goal, but in the short term, losing money to push back corporate tyranny and collusion with a corrupt government is something he's willing to swallow.

Not team Musk, don't need to be, but our interests for the time being are aligned.
It's not, but at least he values resistance to tyranny over that heap of cash
You must be fun at parties
Purity test peeps. We don't need the media hanging Alex Jones around Elon Musk's neck right now when he's trying to make skeptics pay attention to what he is saying about the evils that we are up against.
We're not fighting "inter-dimensional space vampires" we're fighting tyranny right here on planet earth. Alex will be back at some point, but there are more important issues at stake and I think Alex Jones would agree with that.
Considering the unrelenting evil shit we've seen come out of the Left, we might be fighting inter-dimensional space vampires.
They ain't "our fellow citizens", that's for sure.
AJ already has agreed with that.
https://banned.video/watch?id=637bbffb8399ba50b913b83d
Give it time? Musk himself said flat out it's not a matter of time. "Too bad" is what he said when asked to clarify and when confronted on the issue. You are in denial.
Even brought the death of his first born up, this after having (stupidly) quoted Jesus Christ, all the while posing as the Devil in his profile pic.

Wait.... so he says he's fighting for free speech but then won't reinstate Alex Jones. Sounds like a hypocrite.
Careful. If you point that out, the Elon simp brigade will screech about muh purity testing and call you a communist shill.
I don't see anyone simping for Elon. I see people pointing out that what he's doing is helping us more than anyone else right now. You don't have to trust him, you don't have to like him. I don't like him, because he made it possible for the left to ban cars. But he's like a bus headed in the right direction. You don't have to like the bus in order to hop on for a few stops.
You're being far too reasonable and level headed for this forum. Deport!!
Yeah no kidding

He can do whatever the fuck he wants with Twitter, except claim to be supporting free speech.
Even Alex Jones commented it wouldn't be smart for Elon to unban him currently. I'm no Musk simp - he isn't MAGA IMO - but if the person in question themselves says unbanning them isn't wise, I think it makes our side look stupid for being so pissed about it.
Let the left be the ones to eat their own and not give credit - or accountability - where it is due. Elon is an upgrade from Twatter's old owners. He is making our enemies REEEE harder than hearing the definition of a woman. Props to him for that. Let's see where things stand in a year. Or whenever AJ starts saying it isn't good to keep him gone after dust settles.
You clearly didn't listen to what AJ had to say after Musk quoted Jesus and invoked his dead child as if that was AJ's fault. https://banned.video/watch?id=637bbffb8399ba50b913b83d
A few AJ screechers does not equate to "our side". Fuck AJ. Sandy Hook was real.
JFC DAFUQ drugs you on mate, you even see his site? GET YOUR SHITTOGETHER!
Slurp up that Boner Broth 5000 fren.
Defamation isn't free speech and Jones is currently a liability in that regard.
I'm not a lawyer, but as far as I know Jones was not found guilty of defamation, in both Texas and Connecticut he was given a default judgement for supposedly failing to fulfill discovery or something like that.
He was found guilty of defamation. By clearly bullshit reasons but he was found guilty of it. The case you're talking about he was found guilty by default by not disclosing something but was still found guilty of defamation.
It's obvious abuse and God only knows but the point remains the same.
"Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good."
Bro are you sure you want to quote Nancy?
I've never quoted Nancy, I wasn't even aware that she said it. It's been said a billion times before, including by Pat Buchanan. It's a well-worn saying. Idiots downvoting me for no reason.
AJ is a fucking huge liability and would paint an easy target on an already fragile Twitter. Adding him back today would certainly lower the odds of a successful outcome. Learn to chess.
Who

At least someone got it!

"WAAAAAAAH! I only got 99% of everything I wanted!"
Alex Jones said he never expected Musk to be able to unban him immediately. He said he doesn't hold it against him.
Tyranny is here. What are we willing to sacrifice so our children can live free?
“Our Children!!”
-The Left
"But not to live free, though. We just like sacrificing children for funsies."
You'll find at the heart of communism, an evil known as greed.
Sacrificing the future for right now.
It has absolutely infected our culture so much that it's polar opposite is considered by mainstream culture to be an evil racial trait that must be eradicated.
And tyranny is all that lies ahead.
See: China, Australia, Canada, etc.
Tyranny is already here in full force
Well, we're definitely not willing to sacrifice 100% purity tested, pearl clutching gate keeping, that's for sure.
Tyranny and the enslavement of our children is atrocious, unspeakable even, but my god could you imagine supporting someone who is only 99% in agreement with you? Shudders..... It would be beyond satanic to accept someone who is legitimately on your side but made a single comment or performed a single action that we don't like.
Anyone who says otherwise must be some sort of nazi
The fact that in America we have to have this conversation is frankly appalling.
In America, they want to outlaw this conversation.
Which tells us what’s coming after….
I could not agree more.
Pardon my twitter ignorance but how does something that was posted 1 minute ago have so many comments and likes?
they get an alert when he posts
243 people got the alert, opened it, and responded within a minute?
You really underestimate how many people live on Twitter
That and they get lots of money if they make it to the top response.
How do you make money on Twitter? Just curious.
That what happens when you have 115 Million followers
This one right here
*119 Million. Should be passing Barry in the next month or two.
243 people farted while you typed this comment. It's all a numbers game
Where did I place in this race? It took some pushing so probably didn’t make the leaderboard.
you squeezed out with #2
I farted twice while reading this comment. The math checks out.
I might have sharded.
yup
and that is a low number should be in the thousands rapidly hes got what? 110m followers?
It’s more than an alert.
They have bots designed to glom off of popular accounts to build their own clout.
So if he posts and you get the most popular reply (which happens in the first minute or two) then you can build an entire brand or clout off of that.
Krassenstein brothers and Dr Eugene Gu were famous for using bots to do that when responding to Donald Trump.
good thing elon is looking for bots. Remember the trump poll? that was for engagement and bot counting 100%
Actually Elon’s tweets get hundreds of thousands of likes in very short times.
Grifters. Honestly it's very basic, be the first to show up in the comments and you get visibility. It happens on every site including this one.
People made millions of dollars responding , yes you heard right, responding to Trump and getting to the top. Same goes for any high profile account.
So their literal job is to get alerts, have several pre-written responses to things they might say, and post them immediately to get the top response.
How the fuck do they make that much money doing that though?
I’m guessing that of the millions who see their top response, maybe some will click on their profile? And of that, maybe a few will click on a pinned tweet on that profile that’s promoting something? And of that maybe some fraction will buy something? And of those sales, the original Twitter account gets a tiny cut?
Yeah, no way there’s enough of that happening for them to be getting paid a ton.
The more likely scenario is that they’re just obsessed with hating something, so they live and breathe just waiting for a tweet to respond to. Serious mental illness. Social media has caused more mental instability than drugs.
There's tons of ways to monetize a large twitter following. Twitter has pages explaining how - sponsorships, subscriptions, pre-roll ads for videos, and tips, or driving traffic towards their own content elsewhere. A lot of the people with huge accounts needs to show advertisers they reach a large pool of people, and they get paid the more people see them. (Which will be changing significantly with the shutdown of the bots) I had no clue how it worked, either, until I did some research. Some people are/were making significant incomes off Twitter, and they tend to leech off anything they can for eyeballs/follows.
People see trumps post, then the top comment follow the person making the comment that confirms your bias. That person builds followers by stroking these people's egos and then drops their own tweets advertising something or promoting. Other then pay them to "influence" or promote, it's all marketing garbage.
Traffic = Monetization
It's simply a matter of knowing what method for what traffic.
This is the most important battle/election/issue/moment in the history of the universe. Stay tuned!
Ok that may be a little much there brosef
The loss of free speech became a clear reality already in 2015. Even Musk himself believed in propaganda even later and voted for tyrannical Biden! (after voting for Hillary!).
Now, maybe one big social site is fighting for the free speech, Twitter, but it is big maybe.
Who really gives a shit? We should probably stop idolizing billionaires, especially when we really know nothing about their motives.
Soon. Two more weeks.
The mass unbanning has already begun. Tonight.
Two weeks goes by way faster than it used to.
Says the guy who wont let people talk about sandy hook, 9/11, or the holocaust
True. But I will give Elon credit that he's sort of crawling his way out of the woke pit, slowly and a little more each passing day. Probably not on purpose either, it's just that the sheer craziness of their bullshit has become so glaringly brazen that he figured 44 billion was a small price to pay to give free speech a fair shot at actually thriving again in the moden public town square.
Since he's actually owned it, he's gotten his crack team of coders and devs over from Tesla to comb over the fine details of all the coding and algorithmic setups in place, probably saw some chilling DMs from some important people that weren't scrubbed yet that can probably be considered evidence in a treason trial someday, and that's what's pushing him over the edge faster and faster lately.
I'm just speculating, of course. But this would be the right answer if I were him, which I'm probably not.
No one is getting charged with treason unless they are a Conservative or President Trump.
Crack team of tesla coders? You dont even know how programming works, do you?
He literally rehired engineers he fired, because they were the only ones who knew what was going on.
Ligma Johnson is the only exception.
Aside from that, no.
https://www.businesstoday.in/technology/story/elon-musk-fired-this-twitter-employee-re-hired-him-then-fired-him-again-354236-2022-11-25
And posts “fact checks” that say experts claim our elections are so safe and secure.
He is working with a preexisting codebase written by incompetent children.
Full grown adults.
Children have an excuse for their actions. These people choose to live their life acting like children.
Grown-ass children.
Perfect!
Thats a good point... Why is there so much Elon worship by people who hate jews ... you realize hes run by Jews then ???
Elon Musk is so courageous and I don't care what anybody says about him; he has a good heart that wishes the best for the human race.
I believe you’re right. I hope so.
We have already been there. Elon’s just waking up, the expensive way.
Regardless of which way, it’s nice to have someone; regardless of them not giving us 100% of what we want, giving us at least fucking half. Good for Elon. All we want is some motherfucking truth. And even if it isn’t true, give us the ability to say it. When I was in college the onion was all the rage. Those same liberal cucks now yell at disinformation but ban the Babylon Bee. Fuck em. Elon keep doing that thang
I'd imagine he's more awake than what people on PDW give him credit for. The state of society today didn't happen over night, it was slowly transformed over a long period. If it happened suddenly, it wouldn't have gotten to this point.
Elon bought Twitter and with it came years of censorship, lefties, wokeness, etc. His plan is probably to literally go backwards. Slowly restoring free speech over time so users don't flock to a new controlled echo chamber. If he moves too quick, he'd likely lose a lot of lefties. $44b was already an insane price, but his best chance at restoring its value and generating revenue relies on maintaining as many of its existing users as possible as well as new/returning users (conservatives). The pace he goes is everything and every change has the potential to lose/attract millions of users. Hes gambling $44B to maintain the perfect balance
dont be another controlled opp
Hes not even trying to be controlled op hes literally NWO beast system anti christ levels of retardation. HE PROBABLY ACTUALLY BELIEVES IN GLOBAL WARMING. THAT TYPE OF IDIOT WILL BE TALKED INTO CULLING THE HERD 100%. IM playing we all know hes a two faced lying sack of shit who works for the Illuminati. He literally wore their logo. I bet he cant wait to give people seizures remotely with his device and say oopsy freedom of reach limited! You have no idea what u have to do to gain the trust of a bunch of luciferians hes a total psyop lol.
Well, even “that guy” is looking at the other people involved here and going “these people cray.”
Since I didn’t have a spare $44 billion laying around, I’ll just have to take a chance with what we’ve got.

Who gives a fuck what he believes? If he actually restores free speech on a truly major platform, even mostly, that is a big improvement. We don't have to like him to take advantage of it. We have a bunch of people here too used to losing to know how to handle even a small success.
How can you actually believe hes restoring free speech when he says hes still limiting freedom of reach lol
he has lots of children and he even knows he wouldnt want his country under tyranny. probably a major reason why he purchased twitter and is fighting for their future. he's playing his own game. fuck you satanists i aint gonna live under tyranny.
If his dad and sister are any indicator, Elon's a real family man.
He’s not wrong.
América is the only bastion of free speech.
What we do here echos an eternity.
We don't agree on everything, and he sure as hell ain't MAGA... but he's fighting the fight none of us could and for that he's got my respect.
He really does come off as a long term thinker. Like beyond our time levels of long term thinking. He's only one person but him buying and purging one of the Left's biggest echochambers was a very good move.
LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROY JEEEEENNNNNNNNKINS!
Musk knows what's up.
I hope he shuts down the google and apple "stores" once and for all. This is getting juicy.
He's right
Damn I always read it as "tranny" now. Fits, tho.
Sounds like a slogan “There’s only one letter between tranny and tyranny.”
That is good!
Many doubters over the last couple of months with Elon, and maybe understandably so in some ways. However, I think Elon actually has humanities best interest at heart. Maybe this will be the biggest con-job since the 2022 and 2020 elections, but I think that he actually is relatively based.
Yes, he has many socialist views, but it definitely doesn't seem that way with how he runs his businesses at least.
Elon's doing it for his kids... and yours.
LOL "even in America" he says. America is the ONLY place in the world where you have the absolute right to free speech . No other nation truly has it.
Imagine thinking anything different...
It is.
He's not wrong
Elon is single-handedly whitepilling the 2 more weeks doomers
Just gotta wait for the inevitable depression and entire decades of history will start happening in 2 weeks.
Supporting the first amendment is now considered “going nuclear”
I don't know how many people saw the Babylon Bee, Elon Musk interview but at the end the Bees asked him to accept Jesus as his personal savior and he did. Since then ...
Coincidence?
Oh snap!
It's been so obvious for the last 5 years
The salt must flow
He’s gonna free up the Maga lawyers that were silenced, Sidney Powell, Lin wood
