Elon's biggest problem @ Twitter - he's not funny at tweeting

Turns out people like moderation. His version of free speech is 4chan light. Advertiser don’t like putting up posters in a town square of monkeys flinging poo.

 

Cable news is dead. More and more media personalities will flock to non-subscription models. Kudos to those who know how to capitalize on it. This is just the beginning.

 

For the left, yes. For the right, not so much. Conservative media consumption favors legacy platforms because their target demo is much older.

Conservative personalities that leave FOX basically vaporize.

 

Most of them are doing better, salary wise. Megyn Kelly, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck are doing very well. We certainly hear less of them in the MSM.

 

The money part isn't terribly surprising. Once they're free of the network they have a lot more avenues to monetize.

But in terms of public profile, they become practically non-existent.

 

My 86 year old conservative father literally went to some Comcast location to order the Longhorn Network for his TV at home. Incredible Can you imagine the look on the man's face there?

 

My wife's parents are in their 90's. I have to go there help them change the input back when they accidentally hit input instead of the off button. Even if my wife's brother explains how to create a twitter account, I'd laugh seeing them huddled around a cell phone for an hour. Especially when her mom can't figure out how to send a text with an attachment...

 

I've joked with my wife and kids about somehow disabling Fox News on my parents TV

 

LOL... I have thought about putting some Parental Control setting that blocks Fox. They are so addicted, they record all the main Fox shows that causes them to only be able to record one other show at a time.

 

Boomer anti-social media?

 

They're actually Silent Generation, but same concepts

 

Not sure if musk thought this was funny, or if he is calling for a violent overthrow of the government...

 

Outside of military coups, do aristocrats usually fair well during violent government takeovers?
Just saying.

 

Draining the swamp and seizing other people's property is a populist trope for both sides.

Elon desperately plays the Man of the People on Twitter while grounding his workers to the bone.

 

Free speech my ass. He's a right wing troll

 

He has been suppressing speech and doing so with inputs from far-right personnel like Andy Ngo. It's not just fake marketing by Musk, it's projection.

 

But I thought the right wing free speech trolls @AroundTheWorld @bigtexxx claimed Musk would bring back free speech? You're saying Musk is doing literally the same thing as the other owners and he was just grifting to right wing idiots for exposure? We all knew but the right.

Who would've known a billionaire agaisnt raising taxes would supress voices on the left. It's just funny how dumb the right wingers are on these forums
