Elon Musk Twitter X

[quote] The Brazilian Supreme Court justice issued orders to comply earlier this month. Twitter closed its local offices to avoid compliance. Now the Justice is escalating by ordering the naming of a legal Rep for Twitter in Brazil or else they will suspend twitter and levy fines.

[quote] It's likely that Twitter could be suspended in the second largest democracy in the western hemisphere before the end of the week. Honestly, good for them. I'm glad countries are saying enough to Elon's bullshit and sticking it to him. Let's hope the EU is next.

So the government gets to determine what constitutes fake news?

Fuckin prick.

Him, dump, dump's minions are all from the same cesspool in hell

Why is it always the wrong billionaires that die at sea?

Because they are generally minding their own business and enjoying themselves instead of trying to coordinate a coup with fascists or force everyone to their warped way of thinking.

Love the smell of burning lithium in the morning.

He's trying to cover up the Trump Arlington story by labeling links to the NPR story as "unsafe"

This is what the US should have done as well.

Elon's trashing voting by mail...even though he has voted by mail

Me too neither umph!

It's great that he posts his pearls of wisdom every time neurons in his brain start firing, probably prompted by new drugs he's taken. Is he still copped up with Grimes, getting high?

Send the prick back to South Africa if he doesn't like the way we do things here.

[quote] Brazil blocked the social network X on Friday after its owner, Elon Musk, refused to comply with a Brazilian judge’s orders to suspend certain accounts, the biggest test yet of the billionaire’s efforts to transform the site into a digital town square where just about anything goes.

[quote] Alexandre de Moraes, a Brazilian Supreme Court justice, ordered internet providers to block access to X across the nation of 200 million because the company lacked a necessary legal representative in Brazil.

[...]

[quote] In an unusual move, Justice Moraes also froze the finances of another Musk business in Brazil, SpaceX's Starlink satellite-internet service, to try to collect fines he has levied against X. Starlink — which has recently exploded in popularity in Brazil, with more than 250,000 customers — said that it planned to fight the order and would make its service free in Brazil if necessary.

[quote] So the government gets to determine what constitutes fake news?

And therein lies the problem. Americans don’t get that the rest of the world doesn’t believe nor guarantee free speech.

But we won't get any more of the funny twitter Portuguese translations anymore.

I think he should bend to the Brazil judge's will. I think that will set a marvelous precedent.

I'm surprised the EU hasn't him with something similar. Their anti-hate speech laws are very strict. Fingers crossed.

Mail voting for me, but not for thee.

Go back to apartheid South Africa you white supremacist asshole, and stop meddling in US affairs.

r21 An EU Commission investigation into Twitter has been ongoing since December, but they released their preliminary findings last month that Twitter is in breach of the DSA. Should be wrapped up this year.

[quote]If the Commission's preliminary views were to be ultimately confirmed, the Commission would adopt a non-compliance decision finding that X is in breach of Articles 25, 39 and 40(12) of the DSA. Such a decision could entail fines of up to 6% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the provider, and order the provider to take measures to address the breach. A non-compliance decision may also trigger an enhanced supervision period to ensure compliance with the measures the provider intends to take to remedy the breach. The Commission can also impose periodic penalty payments to compel a platform to comply.

[quote]The Commission has also opened formal proceedings against TikTok in February and April 2024, AliExpress in March 2024, and Meta in April and May 2024.

Official Eurovision team will no longer use Twitter. It has a huge young following who will now switch over to Threads for the new season next year and hopefully even stay there for good.

I am not understanding why you are linking to the platform

Yeah, linking to it while shitting on it makes zero sense.

[quote] Moraes’s ruling will reportedly set a daily fine of around $8,900 on anyone who tries to access the X app via VPN, starting next week. We doubt anyone feels the urge to tweet “come to Brazil” that badly.

free speech for not me!

Elon's not really a fan of "free speech" either...he censors the word "cisgender" for crying out loud

He also censored anything anti-Erdogan during Turkish elections. He's also censoring a number of Saudi accounts.

[quote] O’Connor was also overseeing a recently filed antitrust lawsuit by X against a global advertising association and its member companies like Unilever, Mars and CVS Health. O’Connor then recused himself from the lawsuit. Although he didn’t provide a reason for the recusal, a recent financial disclosure showed that the judge invests in Unilever.

This is why Musk files all of his cases in Texas regardless of relevant jurisdiction

Because that what the talibangelical twats do, r31.

A bunch of unqualified trumptard Heritage cunts who don’t GAF about the LAW, just their twisted talibangelical bullshit.

They all should be hauled out and thrown into the sewer where they came from.

Oh, was it that super MAGA judge with a Polish last name?

[quote] Oh, was it that super MAGA judge with a Polish last name?

Reed O’Connor, not Matthew Kaczmarek

Sadly, there’s multiple of them.

He rolled over fast for Turkey – a much smaller country than Brazil – because Erdogan is a right-wing authoritarian. He's bothered by Brazil's left-wing government and supreme court majority, hence this fight to the death.

It's crazy just how much his trans kid broke his brain/ego. Not helped by daily ketamine abuse, of course.

^ are

This would explain a lot; he's not so much concerned with free speech as he is with creating chaos to increase his profit

[quote] Musk doesn't care about free speech but he does likely care about mining lithium deposits in Brazil so he can make himself and his cabal more wealthy, which is why he's pushing to destabilize the country to install a right-wing government that'll secure it for him at a bargain.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the stock price after losing the 7th most populous country in the world.

He's now accused this judge of helping subvert the previous presidential election and is in the process of "gathering evidence". So he's 100% trying to destabilise Brazil.

I hate what a single fucker can do just because he's amassed billions of dollars. What a disgusting system we live in.

He needs to have his assets frozen, his citizenship stripped and be deported back to South Africa. Period.

He is a threat to global stability and you’d think the Tesla stockholders would get pretty fucking sick and tired of his asshattery tanking their stock price and boot him.

[quote] Brazil allows sealed court orders which are non-public, and before this, no information have been released about them by either parties. Good chance the Musk did violate that law too ...

With friends like that fuckwit, who needs enemies?

[quote] Racist pseudo-science is making a comeback thanks to Elon Musk. Recently, the tech billionaire has been retweeting prominent race scientist adherents on his platform X (formally known as Twitter), spreading misinformation about racial minorities’ intelligence and physiology to his audience of 176.3 million followers

[...]

[quote] @garrisonh zeroes in on Musk's obsession with an account that dresses up racist misinformation about minorities’ intelligence and physiology in charts, data, and short but direct posts.

[...]

[quote] In 2022, just one week after Musk purchased Twitter, the Center for Countering Digital Hate —an online civil rights group— found that racial slurs against Black people had increased three times the year’s average, with homophobic and transphobic epithets also seeing a significant uptick, according to the Associated Press. More than a year later, Musk made headlines once again for tweeting racist dog whistles in a potential attempt to “woo” a recently fired Tucker Carlson.

r45 Proving every racist stereotype about white South Africans in the process.

(Oddly, the WaPo article won't post here. Strange, huh?)

He’s getting more comfortable being an open fascist

He must be cumming right now after those election results in Germany.

Maybe we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place were he able to cum, r49

he threatened the judge for nothing

No, he’s a fucking dweeb cosplaying as an edgelord.

"Democrats are the party of criminals," says the man supporting a 34-time Republican felon for president.

[quote] “The world isn’t obliged to put up with Elon Musk’s far-right free-for-all just because he is rich.”

[quote] Saw my first cybertruck in a parking lot last weekend, and it's funny bc on the one hand, it is a genuinely unique design in an era of brutal over-optimized sameness, and that's kind of neat.

[quote] it absolutely looks like a 1st grader inherited an auto company, drew a picture of a truck with crayons, brought it to the first board meeting, and shouted "truck! truck!! TRUCK!!" until the engineers relented and built him the truck

Elon caught promoting the "Tenet Media" Russian asset scam

[quote]A record number of firms plan to cut advertising spending on X next year because of concerns that extreme content on the platform could damage their brands, dealing another blow to the financial fortunes of Elon Musk’s social media company.

[quote]A global survey by market research firm Kantar found that a net 26% of marketers plan to decrease their spending on X in 2025, the biggest recorded pullback from any major global ad platform.

Yes, Elon Musk and DJT, the two most famous spoiled and coddled nepo babies in the world, are going to ensure that we live in a meritocracy 🙄

X may be the harbinger of fake news, horrific verbal attacks by demented people and what have you but censorship is not the answer. Who are you, who is anybody to decide what I may or may not read?

Isn't there a ledge somewhere you should be on, R63, screaming into the void?

The article he shared is claiming

[quoite] 20,000 non-citizen Haitians destroy a town in Ohio and reportedly kill and eat people's pets

If true, THAT would be a legitimate story. Possibly, reporting that someone said this is what happened and there is an investigation also might be a story. But repeating crackpot allegations without any proof is akin to slander.

As the saying goes, it is not the media's job to repeat whatever one side says without wading into the fray, sussing out the details of both sides and attempting to find the true. It is not censorship to withhold that what you cannot verify or, at the very least, provide notations/context.

And, since you want to use an international platform, R63, you'll have to have it comply with the laws of the countries in which operates, such as the EU. In short, in spite of your stupid expectations, fuck your feelings cupcake!

If anyone ever deserved to be stomped…

Someone needs to mercilessly knock the fucking stink off this terrorizing prick, Brooklyn style.

These are the racist lies he is helping to spread

For every fake news and fucked up comment on Twitter there's an equal response challenging it. Which one should be censored?

This is from TikTok. I hope Elon loses his government contracts. I fucking loathe him.
