    Newsom trying to act like a wannabe dictator.

    Appropriate response.

    In Musk's world, laws to label or disallow fake but extremely realistic AI in consequential matters are a bad idea (even though he has the same policy on X, which he broke himself). Revenge rape wouldn't be illegal if he had his way.

    Truly weird people.

    Luckily, Congress is not that weird. A bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced a new bill to regulate the use of AI for cloning voices and likenesses and similar AI laws since 2023.

    Musk is a giant hypocrite in addition to being a blustering douchebag. What a disappointment he turned out to be.

    Federal investigations into Russian interference in 2016 and Russian coordination with MAGA operatives has nothing to do with that. Take it to a different thread.

    Notice the partisans trying to distract from the fact that MUSK, Elon has never authored a funny tweet in his entire grim dark life

    Dear Dunce, X's engagement has never been higher. People love Elon Musk.

    If I told you exactly 2 years ago the president would resign his presidential bid on X, @Major and @SamFisher would have lost their mind.

    People still call it Twitter and it's profitability is still in question.

    Definitely a great way to get news and unfortunately deep fakes and bots.

    Where is the outrage on Musk censoring the Harris campaign on x-Twitter and Wide Dudes for Harris?

    Surely our resident anti-censorship pro-free speech champion @Os Trigonum is itching to start a thread on this.

    Where is there evidence of Harris's campaign being supressed?

    Serious question. I don't doubt it, I am just looking for evidence.

    Musk has the right to lie, censor, and do whatever he wants on his platform. It's a private company, and we don't need the big, ugly government telling private companies what they must or can't do.

    Musk has shown himself to be a massive hypocrite, has spread some lies and conspiracies, and is just a very weird guy that seems quite out of touch.

    I'm not even sure it's censorship to be honest - but by the bar used here - it is. Maybe it was a tech glitch, but when the shoe was on the other foot, people were screaming foul

    Someone's spreading engagement numbers again. No idea what the engagement number is, as those are usually unreliable and often BS stats (some measured as 1-sec glance vs. 10-sec interaction vs. 1-min viewing vs likes/share/...).

    80% staff cut
    89% revenue drop
    Profitable in 2024? (X claims it could be so in 2023)

    Twitters revenue has declined. If musk didn't take it private, it's stock price would have tanked.
