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

Did Trump tell them to take it down? The Saudis? Turks?

 

This is a tricky one. The hack is from Iran. This is an easy one for the Trump campaign to dismiss because all they have to say is "Democrats are now colluding with Iran".

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to use this information because it can always be tied back to "colluding with Iran".

The Trump campaign used and benefited from the Russian government hacking the DNC and we thought that was wrong.

 

Im being sarcastic.

Just pointing out the hypocrisy of the Elon Musk crowd/ conservatives

 

Absolutely agree that Elon's "free speech warrior" BS is a pure grift with zero underlying principles involved.

 

Not at all surprising. Musk is the chief spreader of misinformation, routinely disseminating falsehoods to millions.

If this is his typical week, it seems he doesn’t sleep much and tweets constantly. It’s hard to see how he can focus on his businesses when he spends so much time tweeting.


Elon Musk’s Week on X: Deepfakes, Falsehoods and Lots of Memes - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

5 Days With Elon Musk on X: Deepfakes, Falsehoods and Lots of Memes
Almost a third of 171 posts last week from the X owner were false, misleading or missing vital context.

Hours before former President Donald J. Trump spoke at a rally in New York last week, rumors started circulating online that a bomb had been discovered nearby. While the report was debunked, Elon Musk nonetheless amplified it in a post to his nearly 200 million followers on X.

It was among dozens of false or misleading posts that Mr. Musk shared on the platform from Monday to Friday last week — after both the second presidential debate and the second apparent assassination attempt on Mr. Trump. In 171 posts and reposts during that frenetic five-day period, the tech mogul railed against illegal immigration, boosted election fraud conspiracy theories and attacked Democratic candidates, according to a New York Times analysis.

Nearly a third of his posts last week were false, misleading or missing vital context. They included misleading posts claiming Democrats were making memes “illegal” and falsehoods that they want to “open the border” to gain votes from illegal immigrants. His misleading posts were seen more than 800 million times on X, underscoring Mr. Musk’s unique role as the platform’s most-followed account and a significant source of its misleading content.

His most-viewed post, seen more than 100 million times, was a misleading projection of the presidential race that showed Mr. Trump winning most battleground states. The data was based on an outdated forecast from Nate Silver, an election modeler. By the time Mr. Musk shared the data, Mr. Silver’s forecast had shifted, suggesting instead that Vice President Kamala Harris was faring better than Mr. Trump. Some users quickly noted that the data was wrong, but Mr. Musk did not remove the post or make a correction.

Mr. Musk re-shared a deepfake video of Ms. Harris and falsely claimed that the law would ban all parody. (The law has exceptions for parody and satire.)

In one post seen more than 20 million times, Mr. Musk falsely implied that the city manager in Springfield, Ohio, had received reports that backed up the falsehoods. In fact, the manager said there were no “credible” reports.

Last Thursday, Mr. Musk shared a post from a right-wing influencer with more than 869,000 followers who is known for sharing conspiracy theories about Sept. 11, misinformation about Covid-19 vaccines and claims that the F.B.I. rigged the 2020 election.

Only one post — the false post about the bomb outside a Trump rally — had a visible Community Note, though there were dozens of proposed Community Notes on Mr. Musk’s other posts.

Mr. Musk has not slowed down much since that Friday, the last day analyzed by The Times. The next day, he shared 54 additional posts on X, touching on immigration, the media and the election.

 

John Kerry is a dumbass. Saw him in Davos earlier this year. The Rebel News guys were trying to ambush him and he just didn't know how to deal with them.

Weirdo.

 

LOL

 

I saw John Kerry in davos too. Me and Noel Gallagher were having breakfast together and when the rebel news guys walked by he called them a bunch of wankers and we all had a good laugh.

 

Sure it wasn't Liam?

 

It was Liam.

That wasn't in Davos though, that was in the Maldives.

In Davos, it was Sting.

 

If I ever met either of the Gallagher brothers I would have to restrain myself from punching them for Wonderwall.

 

The wisest thing mentioned in the past 24 hours.

 

Dude,
Don't look back in anger.

 

@SamFisher faints.

 

ScamFisher's biggest problem:

He has never created anything of meaningful positive impact on society.

All he has left is to spread hate and negativity and bitterness about those who have propelled humanity forward, like Elon.

 

you accuse liberals of wanting to see Trump murdered and at the same time defend musk when he says he wants Biden and Harris assassinated.
