Elon Musk buys Twitter for $44 billion

[Occam's Banana]

There was more than one government colluding with Twitter.

Of that I have no doubt - but pretending the US fedgov isn't by far the chiefest and most egregious among them is fatuous. Any American politician who expresses concern about the influence of "foreign power" over Twitter who doesn't also express much greater and more immediate concern about the influence of the US government over Twitter is simply not being serious.

Following his takeover of Twitter, “Chief Twit” Elon Musk has quickly begun to address many of the platform’s problems. Musk, who intends for Twitter to be a platform for legal free speech, has moved to crack down on terrorists and violent far-left extremists who have for many years been a fixture on Twitter and used it to organize riots.

Now Tesla, which Musk owns, has become the target of violent retaliation by far-left militants angered by the suspension of their accounts.

This week, Musk moved to ban a pro-Palestinian “resistance” group called “Jisr Collective,” which promoted and celebrated terrorist acts against Israeli civilians.

​

In a separate thread, Musk called for members of the public to report violations of the site’s terms of service against child sexual exploitation and far-left extremist violence.

Numerous self-identified Antifa militants including several prominent organizers have been banned for calling for violence against Chaya Raichik, who operates the popular “Libs of TikTok” account, and Daily Wire host Matt Walsh.

“Incitement to violence will result in account suspension,” said Musk in response to journalist Andy Ngo, who explained that a large number of Antifa accounts operate on the website to promote riots and provide tips to each other on how to identify targets and commit violence.

​

Ngo detailed how following his reporting on members of the loosely-knit far-left militant organization, he was chased down and beaten up, forcing him to seek refuge at a Portland hotel in 2021.

“Antifa used Twitter to direct comrades to swarm me after I ran into a hotel following a violent street beating,” wrote Ngo.

“That is a disturbing story and very concerning that Twitter took no action, despite clear violation of ToS. Report in this thread for now,” replied Musk, prompting numerous users to provide him with clear examples of militants in violation of the site’s rules against threats and intimidation.

​

Many of the users reported on the thread were banned several hours after being reported to Musk, suggesting that he took direct action to shut down their accounts.

Hours after the bans, Antifa militants took to the social media platform to organize arson attacks on Tesla locations around the United States, posting the addresses of Tesla service centers and dealerships.

“As revenge for [Elon Musk] suspending violent extremist accounts on Twitter, [Antifa] in Portland are organizing arson attacks on [Tesla] locations tonight,” reported Ngo, who provided screenshots of the calls to action.

“This is just a drop in the ocean of years of violent organizing on Twitter,” he added.

Is Musk’s War On Apple A Tesla Pi Phone Marketing Ploy?

Thing about phones is you don't have access to the radio cpu (modem). And the damned sim cards also have processors with dangerous capabilities.

Only thing you can do for privacy is get one with removeable battery, or crack it open and pull the battery tab off.

Linux phones are fun if you're into that sort of thing.

BTW. Elon Musk STILL has me permanently SUSPENDED on TWITTER, even as of TODAY. REMINDER: I was expelled on February 1, 2021 by the US Government using the Censorship Portal I uncovered precisely because I exposed that VERY Government Censorship Portal, that Elon MUSK STILL keeps ACTIVE NOW, that allows Government to USE TWITTER to do an end run around the First Amendment.

And, I’m running for U.S. Senate against Elizabeth Warren.

Why does Elon Musk keep this Portal ACTIVE for Government? Why does he continue to PERMANENTLY SUSPEND me from Twitter for exposing this Portal?

Is this Elon Musk’s definition of “Free Speech”?
