The Twitter takeover and now these polls are starting to look more and more like the script of an old British film, The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer, from 1970. With Elon playing the part of Rimmer who takes over a failing media business and then starts polling the general public on everything. Old timers in the UK may remember it. In the film it doesn't end well for democracy!
Dude. He already reinstated Project Veritas…And this is a step beyond. Illegal won’t make the cut …but it would take ton of moderators Twitter doesn’t have and months to look far enough into each case to determine if it violated a federal or municipal law in Saudi/Moldova/Ghana
Twitter 2.0, where rules apply to *everyone*, not just “infidels”.
I dare that idiot to call me. That guy is a scourge on society and if he ever does, I'll say worse things to him than I said to the AT&T rep after AT&T literally shut off all service to my SIM because I swapped it into a new phone (I couldn't even call them using that phone to tell them that there was a problem, and on top of that, the whole point of having a SIM card is that you can put it in different devices). Of all the spam emails I've been getting, Tom Fitton's are some of the worst. And I never once signed up to receive the crap he sends out. Now technically, I don't think sending completely unsolicited email is illegal (they're simply required to stop after you opt-out, but they're allowed to start sending you crap out of the blue) but if this is the type of guy Elon's going to be letting back on Twitter, then Twitter is just begging for me to boycott them and not even bother clicking links and reading threads when they're linked from other places.
Im talking about more universal crimes illegal in any country, such as child abuse and death threats.
They’ll be banned under the new management if they continue their illegal enterprise.
Tesla's board can make sure that Twitter doesn't take Tesla down by removing Elon as CEO. For now, they appear to be trying to fend off shareholder anger by trying to approve stock buybacks but that's only going to work for so long before the shareholders start making new demands.
Does it mean the "Antifa" accounts that were mentioned recently banned would be unbanned also? Or put more generally, would it unban all such accounts (regardless if they were only recently banned) effective next week, or would it only be accounts that were not banned after Elon took over?
Were they banned for clear violations under the new management?
If the idea is that it's a "reset" next week and then all accounts are evaluated under new less strict rules, they should be unbanned and then reevaluated under the new rules.
Does anybody know what the new rules actually are though?
These are the new rules (but with Elon speaking instead of Denzel Washington):
Who knows? That's for Elon to announce. To be clear however, I just compared the Twitter rules page from months ago to the one right now, there are literally zero changes. So up to now the rules have not been changed yet.
The main problem Twitter of old faced was when government entities tweeting things that clearly violated the policies. So, they made a "government exception" ... which they apparently rescinded for Trump after insurrection.

I don’t fault Tesla for not having FSD done - that’s cutting edge and more difficult than many give them credit for.
