I just ignore that account's down votes. I kind of expect everything I post in this thread to be down voted by that account, which as far as I'm concerned, could have both a human and a bot behind it. The human writes the posts but the bot looks for anything it thinks is critical of Elon and auto down votes it.
That would be amusing. What percentage of the down votes in this thread are from that one account?
The exchange with Apple has nothing to do with left/right. Elon's just bitter that Apple is exercising its own free speech and has pulled advertising from the platform because he's allowing it to turn into a toxic cesspool of hate speech and misinformation. So he's trying to come up with excuses for Twitter's poor financial performance that don't involve his own actions.
3 sentences. 4 accusations.You misread. What’s done is done, what I’m saying is that if the “aggrieved” stop feeding into the Elon hysteria, he’ll move on to something else more engaging.
But if you want to keep Elon on his scorched earth path that’s fine too.
Cancel mobs (the modern Bolshevik) aren’t about free speech, they’re about suppression of free speech (coincidentally in alignment with establishment actors) and often delve into terrorism (Antifa “direct actions”)
Things that make you go hmmmm.
It already was a toxic cesspool of hate speech and misinformation, and Apple (Who, Ironically passed on acquiring Tesla years prior) didn’t seem to have a problem with it before Elon took the reins.
Yes, it was. And now it is even worse.
Perhaps Apple wasn't very happy with it before but at least it gave the impression that it was trying to stamp out misinformation. But now it's not even trying or even pretending to try.
Wow that “mission statement” sounds oldschool.Twitter talking about Twitter 2.0 on their blog...
Twitter 2.0: Our continued commitment to the public conversation
Twitter’s mission is to promote and protect the public conversation–to be the town square of the internet. For many years, we’ve said that we want to give everyone the power to create and share ideas
"Roth said he decided to quit two weeks into Musk's time at Twitter because it felt like the company had started to be ruled by "dictatorial edict."
Part of me thinks that Tim Apple knows it's bad bad to engage in a war on two fronts, Epic and Twiiter/Tesla.

It’s not so much short-term demand damage, it’s long term damage to the brand, which in turn results in long term demand loss. And you will never know how much demand is lost, and when, over this, as can’t prove a negative. But there is no rational scenario in which it doesn’t hurt sales.
I don’t think anybody wants to get fired in this current economy, that being said there’s ways to push back on someone like Elon and calling them stupid doody head, or fascist or early 1940’s German soldier isn’t the ice breaker some think it is.
