Is Biden also far left as per your political compass and where does Donald Trump stand? And do you also believe the election was stolen from him and if that is true do you think that the people who stole the election from him will allow him to come to power now that they have complete control? And if not is it too late to save this great nation?

It might have something to do with the fact that whether X thrives or fails he’ll still be incredibly wealthy. If his shares wind up being worthless he gets a tax write off.
 
How much does this bozo have to lose to no longer be the "world's richest man?" I mean, it doesn't really matter, but if we could get talking heads to stop saying it maybe some people who automatically ascribe superiority to people based on their wealth, that would be a step forward.

I suspect Apple waited for something like this because they figure they can have a positive impact on the site? Naive at best, but then Apple alaways has had some blind spots in terms of their impact on the world. Being so secretive, and refusing to engage with the press on a transparent basis is bound to lead them into looking bad on more than a few occasions.

Sure. The only people who believe what you posted are racists and homophobes who think it’s unfair that they are called racists and homophobes.

Conservatives in the US have justified their own extremism by trying to redefine the moderate left as extreme. Compared to every other developed country, US liberals are actually to the right of center.

It's not every day. Before Musk took over it was every day and it was totally bot generated and tied into the American and "Five Eyes" deep state. They were projecting and enacting a far left communist agenda to see how far they could take it and see if it would work for them.

Left and right is of no concern to them, just control.

lol people actually believe this nonsense? the hyper capitalist billionaires who make up the military industrial complex are “eNaCtiNg a fArLeFt coMoOniSt aGeNdA”. Sure thing buddy, these people you speak of are far right capitalists, many of these billionaires could be considered fascists. But you’re telling us they are actually secret commies?

You don’t seem to understand what “the left” is, means, or who is actually a leftist. Here’s a hint, ultra wealthy capitalists are mostly pretty conservative, and the problem with the United States isn’t these so called leftists, it’s far right billionaires who own everything and are trying to turn the US I to a Christian version of Iran.

Bingo, it’s always funny seeing conservatives call people like Biden and Hillary “leftists”, when in reality they are pretty right wing. They just don’t realize it because the Republican Party and their base have moved so far to the right even Reagan would look like a communist to them if he were alive today.

There is two axis: social and economic. My list was for the social axis.
 
Baldimac said it perfectly. I had nothing to add. Except, having lived in Canada and was friends with the Secretary of State of Saskatechewan, whose father was a founder of the NDP (Socialist) party, I simply have to laugh at what some right wingers consider liberal, let alone leftist.

They have no clue. For example, there are lots of socialists in Canada who are also conservative Christians. How is that possible?

Exactly. Trump has made Nazis palatable to a significantly not small sector of the US. But that's nothing new. There was an attempted coup just before World War II in the US, and it was funded by extremely wealthy people. And it was lead by a right wing Catholic Priest who was the most popular religious broadcaster in the US at the time. And his movement was called "America First."

Do you realize you are here posting extreme far right white nationalist talking points?

It’s not a surprise certain people like Musk since he clearly shares their views of Jews. I’m just surprised how open people are about their extremism these days.

Musk: Hey, guess what? I own Twitter now! Money? Pfft, please, I've got cash coming out of my ears! Got a problem with 'X'? No worries, I'll just triple it to 'XXX' and make it everyone's new favorite. Trust me, I know what I'm doing!
