Elon Musk Completes $44 Billion Twitter Takeover, Fires Top Executives, and Makes Himself CEO

The more Musk opens his mouth on Twitter Spaces and replies to impotent brainless alt right reply guys the deeper his foot goes down his throat.

At this stage he just looks like a Saudi agent trying to tear America apart so that there will be enough economic migrants to move to the $1 trillion dystopian prison city NEOM.

There's only 1 reason that keeps me from NOT deleting my Twitter-account.
I've had mine longer than he had his 😂

Not that I use it, or have any plans to do as long as he has any connection to that place. He will not make it better. But who knows, him buying it and all, might change it to the better when someone else takes over and buys it cheap from him. There was a time when Twitter was fun….will it be again?
Doubt it, but you never know.

The video is her saying those words. Then Elon says a quote, what’s the lie?

Also the government was in the pockets, I only have love and support to those who have had their health compromised by the vaccines and gaslighting:

Also (omega lol), did you read the ‘fact check’? It doesn’t deny she said those words, but reframes the ‘fact check’ to say “Did she say these words in order to spark a pandemic? Answer: False! She said these after the pandemic already started!!!”

Apparently, despite even more soapboxing about freedom of speech, Elon still doesn't like journos..

Why this time? For being called out on Suicide Prevention. He ordered the takedown of the suicide prevention feature on Twitter, and copped the backlash for it. In response: he bans journos. At this point, I'm more inclined to trust Nixon from the grave than I am to trust Musk.

Twitter Restores Suicide Prevention Hotline Link After Disappearance Sparks Backlash

Elon Musk called the report of the removal "fake news," even though one of his executives confirmed the suicide hotline link had been suspended.

From the article….

After publication of the story, Twitter head of trust and safety Ella Irwin confirmed the removal and called it temporary.

Twitter was "fixing relevance, optimizing the size of the message prompts and correcting outdated prompts," Irwin said in an email to Reuters. "We know they are useful and our intent was not to have them down permanently."

About 15 hours after the initial report, Musk, who did not initially respond to requests for comment, tweeted "False, it is still there." In response to criticism by Twitter users, he also tweeted "Twitter doesn't prevent suicide."

Go anti-woke go broke. Tesla in free fall.

Liberals and progressives built the modern world. Governments subsidized the wealthy and tech companies.

Makes no sense to embrace the 4chan conservative Qanon libertarian folks.

Unless it is just a big manipulation to get all these right wing people excited and then arrested like Trump did to them.

Who profits from that? Private prison companies. Data mining companies. Intelligence agency budgets get increased.

Why can these people see what Elon and his chums are doing to them?

Yes, and becoming attractive…especially before a buyback.

I would not touch this. Most say the fair value is $60-70. They were saying this before all the troubles with manufacturing and Twitter's debts and interest payments. Now Elon is burning all good will with the urbanites who are nearly all progressive people. They will not buy a new car from him and the second hand market for Tesla is also losing value very hard because they are selling their cars.

From the article.

Reuters reported on Friday that the feature was taken down a few days ago, citing two people familiar with the matter, who said the removal was ordered by the social media platform's new owner Elon Musk.

It went missing, and nothing from Elon, until he then went to say:

Twitter restores suicide-prevention feature after briefly removing it

Twitter says it’s working on bringing back the #ThereIsHelp banner, a feature that pointed users to suicide prevention hotlines and other safety resources when searching for certain content.
www.engadget.com www.engadget.com

On Saturday morning, Musk denied Twitter had ever removed the feature. “The message is actually still up. This is fake news,” Musk wrote on Twitter, adding, “Twitter doesn’t prevent suicide.”

However, that same day:

When Engadget tried searching for terms like “suicide” and “COVID-19” on Saturday afternoon, the banner did not appear.

And when called out on it:

Eirliani Abdul Rahman, a former member of a recently dissolved Twitter content advisory group, told Reuters the disappearance of the feature was “extremely disconcerting and profoundly disturbing,” even if the removal was part of preparation for improvements.

“Normally, you would be working on it in parallel, not removing it,” she said.

Jane Manchun Wong, a software developer and Twitter user, said it was the “worst time” to remove the hotline when many people are struggling during the holidays.

Twitter “could’ve kept the old prompt and replaced it with a new one when it’s ready,” she wrote in a post that apparently has since been deleted — along with her entire Twitter account.

Space Karen doesn't like to get called out on his mistakes. But nice deflection on it being "just temporary".

It was temporary and adequately explained - three days ago. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The fact that Elon himself didn't say anything for 3 days, then put it back up, then ranted that it was "fake news" and that "it was never taken down", when multiple sources showed that it was indeed down. If it were never down, then those sources should never have seen it gone to report it gone.

In short, Elon's actions are his own undoing. As you put it a few posts ago, The source is Elon Musk! ;):rolleyes:

On Dec 23
Reuters reported it was missing.​
​
Twitter head of trust and safety Ella Irwin told Reuters in an email that "we have been fixing and revamping our prompts. They were just temporarily removed while we do that." "We expect to have them back up next week," she said.​

On Dec 24
Musk told Reuters: “False, it is still there”​
​
On Dec 24 Reuter reported the banner returned to searches about suicide and domestic violence in multiple countries under terms like "shtwt," shorthand for "self-harm Twitter."​

TSLA should be removed from NASDAQ index. So should others that are too reliant on memes and manipulating CEOs. They are distorting the market and hurting other company's stock prices. Cathie Wood in particular trades and invests like an amateur who hears voices in the sky.
 
Merry christmas and happy new year everybody! I love you Elon! Thanks for making this space. Yesterday we had an amazing open discussion from all viewpoint, and even I learned something from the otherside.

I think this coming together is so great. I’m able to understand the other side and hopefully they are too! Wouldn’t be possible without great things like Twitter spaces! ❤️ 💕 💗
