Apple Executive Phil Schiller Deactivates Twitter Account

[Mr. Skeleton]

Not fixed. I specifically called out conservative media because they aren't even remotely interested in providing facts and information. None of them. They are engaged in propaganda to promote and support conservative power. The rest of the media is either actually trying to inform or are a reaction to the conservative media's disinformation and propaganda. If it weren't for Fox News there would never be an MSNBC. There are good media outlets like NPR and AP and the like that are just doing their best to dispel the misinformation and report the actual news. Don't paint those institutions with the same brush as Fox, OAN, Sky News, News Max... etc...

Fox News loves to push old-republicans. They also tried hard to convince people not to vote for trump, and then switched tune when they realized that wasn’t working. It’s definitely got propaganda.

Worse is the democrat propaganda centers like CNN, NBC, Axios, Salon.

Poor democrats, they don’t even get to choose a candidate they like and are stuck with the likes of Hillary or Biden.

And these news networks will do anything to push them. The old-democrats have a strong hold on the party and their propaganda centers seem to trick a lot of otherwise good people to vote for self-destructive policies and candidates.

Yes, corporate media is corporate. Glad we're learning today.

Let's see if he returns because this is usually how it goes. CBS News quit twitter for a whole 2 days

Great summation of the mindset of Elon haters. Inconsistent, no compass, and no finger on the pulse.

Don't worry, the site will implode soon anyway.

Cause those are the ones I see at the top of his page aka the ones he made before getting the perm ban.

Almost like they wanted to hide those since it goes against the "inciting" narrative.

exactly right.

 

[magicman32]

their "morals" change like the wind too. it's not rooted in any real principles. whatever is en vongue that's all. if the collective hivemind decides using a toilet is bad, they will call everyone that uses a toilet a demon.

That opposing side openly said and stood by the stance morals and character matter. That is, until they saw a way to win an election by catering to the lowest common denominator. And the hypocrisy has come home to roost. I hope that one isolated win was worth it. I’ve loved seeing all the crying and in-fighting since then.

 

[I7guy]

Really? You don’t think him just donating that 44B to homeless shelters would have been better?

By that logic all ipos should stop and the money donated to better causes.

 

[tgwaste]

Good for him!! It’s a risk to our country. All of the people who want to do what is right are doing it. I closed mine on election night.

signal received.

 

[Mr. Skeleton]

exactly right.

This, they tried to HIDE those tweets to create a narrative. This is some China government evil stuff.

You actually think CNN, and NBC (I don't know the other two) are liberal propaganda?! And that they are worse than any of the conservative media outlets?! Seriously?! I'm not a fan of CNN because I hate "for profit" news, but they are far from liberal propaganda. Certainly nothing on the liberal end of the spectrum can match anything on the right. They put soviet propaganda to shame. It would be fascinating to watch from the outside if it weren't so destructive to democracy.

And over at Mastodon where some twitter users moved to when evil Elon took over, they are fighting over the improper use of calling each other Twitter refugees because that is problematic. I am not joking.

100% MSNBC is, don't know about regular NBC though.

Yep, the self-righteous individuals who suddenly decided morals don't matter in a politician or government have no ground to stand on accusing others of having "fake morals".

These people think Biden is a "far left radical". They really don't know how good they have it here in the U.S.

TWITTER IS A PRIVATE COMPANY.

Won’t you stop with this silliness? Non-public entities can censor just like governments. The difference is private censorship is not protected by the First Amendment. You continue using an incomplete definition of censorship.

If you really think CNN, NBC, NYT, and WP aren’t democrat propaganda outlets. Then I guess Alex Jones is basically CSPAN.

So, he opened his Twitter account on November 2008 and has deactivated it on November 2022, that’s exactly taking 14 years too long to get rid of it!
Better late than never I guess.

 

[Wanted797]

When I quit something I don't need to virtue signal that I quit it.. lol

The interesting thing is Phil hasn’t commented on why he’s closed his twitter… this is all speculation and maybe he just decided he didn’t want it.

Well I would agree that MSNBC has a bit of a bias, but that's just a reaction to the mountain of propaganda on the right. To compare MSNBC to even just fox is like comparing a snowball to an avalanche. For the record, I don't like any cable news. The best part of giving up cable 13 years ago was not having cable news. (that and the flood of reality tv). MSNBC is like rowboat going up stream on the Mississippi with a container ship coming the other direction.

Most accurate comment in this thread. Twitter has always been trash, people just want to now make believe Elon somehow made it bad despite not really changing anything yet.

 

[swarlos]

Oh so when people have opposing views and don't do what we like, we just act childish and delete our accounts. LOL

 

[ThisBougieLife]

Actual far left accounts are censored all the time on social media, including Facebook and Twitter. I have many leftist friends who've been banned or shadowbanned or otherwise deactivated. It doesn't make the news, but it happens.

 

[boyarka]

I also strongly suggest shorting the stuffing out of TSLA. I’ve made quite a bit doing that recently.

I was looking for this comment. This mantra is like the Old Testament prophecy of the Temple being rebuilt... and never happens. I can literally remember the "IT'S SO OVERPRICED!!11!" going back like... 10 years or more.

On topic:
Who tf cares what Shiller the shill does. A nobody can't make waves.

Let me drop this series of tweets from Glenn Greenwald here which sums up pretty well how I see this whole issue. Agree or disagree, leave it up to you.

Exactly. A blind and deaf man could have picked a stock and done well. Everything was short-friendly

YTD...

Dow Jones - down 8.2%
S&P 500 - down 17.7%
Nasdaq - down 26.0%

Tesla - down 54.2%

That blind and deaf man had far more opportunity with Tesla this year!

Looking at the price of Tesla stock compared to earnings v other car companies:

VW - 4x
Ford - 6x
Toyota - 11x
Honda - 9x
BMW - 3x

Tesla - 57x

Happy to hear the CEO is spending all his time trying to justify that 57x PE Ratio... oh... wait...

A loooooooonnnggg way to fall still for Tesla.
