No one has ever claimed that Twitter functioned as part of the DNC. Case in point: how much Trump governed by tweet from 2016 to 2020. But everyone on your side of that argument seems to have forgotten that.

Respectfully, it seems that you are engaged in water carrying for “your side” right now. There’s nothing rational about defending the suppression of a legitimate news story in the weeks leading to a presidential election.Oh, you mean something that has been panned as overhyped and misleading?
No, You Do Not Have a Constitutional Right to Post Hunter Biden’s Dick Pic on Twitter
Elon Musk and Matt Taibbi’s First Amendment follies.www.thebulwark.com
Yeah, by all means, post Musk's inaneness. I'm pretty sure that laptop pics of a private citizen will rank right up there for corruption so grave that Trump is wanting to completely destroy all articles in the Constitution and be "installed" as POTUS. Let's have all of this out for the world to see so it shows how embarrassing this situation is; not just embarrassing for Musk, but just as embarrassing for those who worship him as if he is a cult of personality, as it will show how far gone in lacking their own rational thought they truly are.

It is very amusing to see conservatives latch on to this supposed outrage that a social media company was biased in favor of Dems. I wonder why that same outrage isn't directed as Fox "News", a media company clearly biased in favor of Republicans. Curious double-standard. When they do it, it's all about being fair and balanced, but when someone else does it, it's pearl clutching time.
Why would Musk make up a story? Apple almost never confirms this sort of story anyway.
The fact that this is posted on twitter in an excruciatingly long list of tweets, the worst medium I can imagine to release this on, makes it clear this is all for the media buzz and twitter attention. You know, instead of presenting facts and having a healthy discussion.
I would support Musk over Tim/Apple any day. Did you see how fast people jumped on the bandwagon to attack Musk on here? Even Macrumors did an attack story on Musk to support Apple. I'll hate Musk when he gives me a reason, till then, I'll just hate on Tim's obsession of Dongles.
Fun fact: Now that Twitter is private, it’s not illegal for company officers to lie in public about the state of the business.
Many have, including myself.
Yes, the very last thing Democrats would ever do is to display outrage towards Fox News.
I mean, besides AOC claiming (without evidence) that Fox is trying to get her killed every few weeks.
And besides all of the calls to censor and cancel the network, have it removed from cable carriers and its on-air talent fired.
But yes, besides all of that non-stop outrage, I also wonder why outrage isn’t directed at Fox.
I don’t get what’s actually a problem? There’s the social network called Twitter with some management team, rules, etc. It earns money from ads among other ways. There’s Apple, huge company with a huge load of money. It advertises its products on Twitter. One day Mask (not a pleasant and sinful person in many aspects by default - I could use only two offensive words here but with the risk to be banned) buys Twitter and starts to spread his mess on it. Apple may have its own artitude to the situation and decides to stop advertising there. Twitter stops getting a lot of money from Apple because of Musk - (here go two offensive words). Free speech? Oh really? What about “Kwa-kwa-kwanye” West? I heard he was banned recently. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t support that delirium and don’t like that pathetic person, but it seems this free speech is broken, please bring another one.
Man, Elon of Marketing is back to spinning stories to suit his agenda.
Kanye West violated the rules and is clearly a very broken and troubled man who is in desperate need of professional help.
Let's not forget that election interference on behalf of DNC politicians is not the same thing as banning Kanye West.
I can see why people could interpret Kanye's post as incitement of violence, but I don't personally agree that it was, and don't agree that he should have been banned. He should shut up, get mental help, and people should stop pointing cameras at him.
But just because we both evidently disagree with Twitter's interpretation of the incitement of violence rule in Kanye's case, doesn't mean it's not completely abhorrent that Twitter used to act as a propaganda and censorship arm for the DNC. And I don't think we should use whataboutism to distract from that.
When he un bans me from Tw*tter I'll take note , otherwise I find musk a charlatan and a bore
I'd wager the CEO of Twitter can see ad spending on Twitter. Just a guess.
Whether you disagree if this story matters or not, it would be ridiculous for Musk to post this anywhere else if he actually believes the contents of it. This is literally about censorship in mainstream media. To then trust the same mainstream media that according to him instigated the suppression of the story in question would be very naive. And looking at the media reaction to this incident, which reaches from utter ignorance to even active belittlement of the relevance of the story (which by the way, is from a perspective of journalistic ethics a despicable thing to do), I'm pretty sure he was correct with his assessment.
Musk IS part of the 1% elite. His greatest marketing spin is making you think that he isn't.
Wrong. I did not say free speech is balcony. Free speech is paramount. I said “free speech” is being misused By people like Elon. Spreading misinformation, lies, and hate under the guise of free speech is “truly ignorant”. Misinformation, lies, and hate attack freedoms.
I hope they do even though I don't use that service, I think many services should be options for people to integrate so more people can have it.
