Well, does Elon feels he’s slowly being isolated because of his temperamental nature, much Like that orange man?
It’s one thing to be rejected by society and actually change the world. It’s another to be annoyed by society and create an illusion of changing the world Despite otherwise.

You're welcome to interpreting the sides of politics how you want to, but how is it right that one side gets censored by the other?

I could list out the counter arguments to your statements about how the right is worse than the left, but I don't think it's really about which side is better/worse. It's about one side wanting control over what everyone can think and say. Even if it's for a good cause, it's wrong.

Ultimately, the way you think the right is dangerous, there are a whole bunch of people who think the left is just as dangerous. It's a game with no winners.
Who’s doing the censoring? Unless it’s the government, then there’s no problem. You are not entitled to use resources owned by others to make your speech. End of story. You don’t have to like it, but you do have to live with it.
 
Is Tim Cook going to respond? We are waiting...

Idk, just sounds like you’re wasting time here like everyone else.
So I can’t take a moment to go online and check comments of the latest “big thing” and point out that adults are acting like children?

It’s not a waste of time if I can convince even 2 people to get along put their differences aside and possibly find some middle ground.

Of course you’re also free to waste your time the same as everyone else. Just don’t get too offended when others point out the hypocrisy.

Truly spoken like someone with blindness that comes with privilege. "I didn't see a problem and now I'm upset you're showing it to me".

You may as well just say "I'm on the left!". What use is this? I could make some retort saying "truly spoken like a facist who always wanted to control what people think and say and now you have the opportunity to hide behind the oppressed while you do it."

But what's the point? We shouldn't have to have a left vs right debate in order to decide if one side of politics is going to censor the other on Twitter. Neither should censor the other, period.
 
Its not about what side of politics it is (whatever that means these days), it’s about the content and the hate and incitement.

Incitement to violence isn't allowed on Twitter and never has been. As for hate, well, hate is a human emotion. And while it would be great if nobody posted hateful things on social media, the problem with enforcing it is who enforces it? The people who should least be doing it. The kinds of people who have no problem thinking they're far enough above the rest of us in order to control what we can all think and say.

As bad as hate is, it is not worth putting those people in control.

I said "how is it right?", not "how is it legal?".

Why should one side of politics censor the other side of politics?
 
The hysteria and Musk bashing is pathetic. You realize the Twitter TOS are unchanged? Even if an unbanned user returns and breaks that TOS, they will again be back in Twitter jail. This is nothing more than the usual cabal of crybullies and entrenched elites manipulating the public to turn against Musk. Think for yourself.

The implication that Musk himself isn’t being a crybaby and isn’t part of the billionaire elites is hilarious. He’s literally the worlds richest man and yet here you are simping for him. 😂
 
@JM @iDarth_Betar After so many comments I got lost 🌀 🤥.

How do we clean up this mess? What just happened today? 😵‍💫😵
There’s no cleaning this up. We just have to wait till they wave a new, more interesting article (non Twit related) in front of everyone so we can move on.

We need a beta drop, or some kind of distraction.

✌️😎👍
 
The $1 billion termination fee was in case the US government for example decided to stop the purchase. It wasn’t a fee Musk could pay to terminate the transaction just because he got cold feet.
Stand corrected.


Musk was still dumb enough not to do any due diligence of any kind before signing the agreement, as reported in many business related websites and articles.
 
I feel so good being on the right side of history about this guy. I said it years ago when made up a story about one of the guys that help rescue those kids in the cave. Elon is an idiot, he has always been. But not only is he a idiot, but looney too.
Nice little yoga stretch there patting yourself on the back all day lol, he's become even more successful since that little cave incident.

This is the funniest escalation in the whole Twitter saga IMO. Only idiots were crying about freedom of speech when Parler was in the spotlight. Now that Twitter is bound to have similar issues as Parler, they’ve re-emerged in the form of Elon fans.

I would love to see Elon’s attempt at a phone, as he threatened to make.
Yeah I'm sure he doesn't know what he's doing, he only just embarrassed Nvidia at real-world image processing

What do you mean how is it right? Will you let me use your property to make my speech? You can start by sending me cash. It’s also probably less intrusive than borrowing your car for instance.

What does that have to do with whether or not it's morally right for an elite group of people to censor one side of politics and not the other?

We all have a responsibility to society, and I don't think creating one political class that can speak and one that cannot is a morally defensible goal.

Societies don't go in the right direction once you start doing this.

I'm asking why it's right, and saying they shouldn't do it. I'm not asking someone to make them do anything.
 
Let's see if Apple actually has the balls to take Twitter off and if so their excuse, they're really well trained now with the no charger excuse but this one is going to be even harder to yank out of their rear
 
I think the original point that was being made was more about Musk's state of mind at the moment and whether it's indicative of poor mental health, but I'm glad you managed to change it into a line of attack and a change of topic all in the space of two posts, that efficiency is admirable and it's certainly accomplished its job of making the person you disagree with go on the defense which has successfully made him look weak and made you look virtuous.

It is all rather off-topic, though, so perhaps you'd like to respond to the user's other point which you previously ignored in favor of this distraction?


It's an interesting point, so I look forward to your response @Krispykrme!

1. I don’t think it’s off topic- given both seems to have split personality. And also this post was also Twitter vs Apple not just only musk vs cook

If musk gets held under microscope, same needs to be applied to Tim cook. Hence I don’t agree with off topic.

Tim wants to take a stand against musk. Then same level of judgement needs to be applied on him and apple.

2. I didn’t ignore it. Perhaps you should understand number 1. It’s about being equal and unbiased comparison and hold both to same standard.
