Free speech absolutist.

Digital town square.

He bought his absolute free speech fair and square!

Jesus Christ fuck Elon, how terrible can he get.

Honest question, why hasn't anyone dealt with him? In the past, a man like this may have been dragged out into the streets by now. I feel as a low income person, it is my duty to harm billionaires.

Surprised nobody has taken him out

eat. the. rich.

[–] nexusband@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Probably because he's got a barrage of security. Same with Trump. 50 Years ago, both would have been hang out to dry the crazy...

Given how long it's taken for Trump to catch consequences, I'm going to say Elon has perhaps 200 years.

Less and less, every day.

And a lot of ordinary people who know nothing about the Twitter/Musk shit and just went to follow their favorite celebrities. Pretending like nobody uses Twitter doesn't make it irrelevant.

What exactly do you think a fascist sympathizer is?

You're either anti-fa, or you aren't

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 3 points 9 months ago

Someone who has sympathy for fascists? Are you seriously not aware of people who use Twitter without being aware of the politics behind it?

I understand she has been restored and X has come up with a bogus excuse.

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

Pushing the envelope. I'll bet they didn't restore a bunch of lower-profile anti-Putin accounts.

[–] MagicShel@programming.dev 17 points 9 months ago

Gotta send that message. Folks must be getting unruly so he's letting them know he will not just kill them but their families too.

Super weird. Wonder what happened. Was it an active suspension or automatic via reports or something else

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Looks like Putin got another stooge with kompromat.
