Elon vs Twitter update: Elon helped America win , Tesla stock through the roof

Musk fights ignorance with humor. We need more of that

 

I don't really use Twitter so I have no clue what this will mean
I didn't care before . . .not sure I should care now

Just means more people are going to have to learn how to use the ignore feature.

 

Ann Althouse:

"Slowly, what Twitter rewards becomes what we do. If we don’t, then no matter — no one sees what we’re saying anyway. We become what the game wants us to be or we lose.... There is a reason that Donald Trump, with his preternatural gift for making people look at him, was Twitter’s most natural and successful user. And he shows how the platform can shape the lives of those who never use it. From 2017 to 2021, the White House was occupied by what was, in effect, a Twitter account with a cardiovascular system, and the whole world bore the consequences.... But I count myself, still, as a cautious believer in Musk’s power to do the impossible — in this case, to expose what Twitter is and to right-size its influence. In fact, I think he’s the only one with the power to do it.... He will be Twitter. He will have won the game. And nothing loses its luster quite like a game that has been beaten."

Writes Ezra Klein, in "Elon Musk Got Twitter Because He Gets Twitter" (NYT).

Fortunately for Ben Shapiro, he is right in the middle.

 

I don't understand that chart. It alternates between July and January, and it's not showing what he's claiming (that the "shadow ban" was lifted only recently).

 

6 month hash marks

It's not that the shadow ban was lifted, it's that once they were locked out from manually suppressing his follower count, it skyrocketed

 

Oh, duh. Thanks, lol.

I see. Makes sense.

Edit: But wait -- is it a year off? It ends at July 2021.

Edit again: OK, clicked on image, I see it goes past Jan 2022. Still not seeing the increase he's talking about post-Elon news.

 

Good question…Musk is not the beacon of freedom that some people delusionally think.

 

Bezos surely is not. It's a bit embarrassing to see him not be able to just suppress his urge to chime in.

 

Yeah, and Ron DeSantis is the one that gets demonized by our D&D leftists for using his powers to go after political opponents. As if this were any different. But it's fine for them as long as "their side" is doing it.
