reply

My poor heart bleeds for biased leftist "journalists" banned on Twitter. lol..

reply

You and lying hypocrite Musk are against free speech.

reply

They should learn to code, bootlicker.

reply

No need since A-list celebs are using Instagram.

Twitter is the KKK social platform which is the reason advertisers are fleeing.

reply

I run ads on twitter, and rates are increasing. Which means there are more advertisers than before.

Facts don’t care about your fascist lies.

reply

I was kind of ambivalent about Elon until I listened to Conover explain the situation with Twitter.

WOW He has really screwed himself over!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVj4kZF-Fgk&t=994s

Not to mention screwing over anyone that's ever even USED Twitter since he fired all of the tec that were doing the security and privacy for Twitter leaving it completely open to anyone who wanted to steal information. He has no possible way to make back the money he's spent buying it with the advertisers or the blue check money.

The only thing he's good at is telling everyone that he's a genius.

reply

There is zero reason to believe he knows how to run a business so you are definitely right about him being screwed./s/

reply

but but I thought it was about free speech. not just censoring speech you don't like. ohh you wanted censored speech for YOUR ideological enemies. I get it now.

reply

You are a leftist - an illogical by the way -, so you will never get it.

reply

deep insight as usual from our contards.

thank you for providing no argument and hence conceding before we even began.

reply

Nobody wants to begin anything with you. Do I have to tell you why?

reply

because I ask for evidence. and you jokesters just make assertions. another spineless conservative. it seems to be how you all operate. easy win thank you :)

reply

Do you workout at the gym a lot?
Are you buff?

I'm asking for a fat friend, my bfff.

reply

Doxxing is the ideology of the left?

Elon Musk took to Twitter on Wednesday, not as “Chief Twit” or as a biting meme master, but as a concerned parent, after a “crazy stalker” allegedly blocked and then “climbed onto [the] hood” of a car he believed to be carrying the billionaire, only to discover the passenger was Musk’s son, two-year-old “lil X.”

The frightening encounter occurred after a now-banned Twitter account run by Jack Sweeney, 20, under the name @elonjet, published the location of Musk’s private jet using publicly-available flight-tracking data.

reply

1. next up are you going to be that stupid to claim murder and theft is ideology of the left.

2. that has nothing at all to do with the thousands of people he blocked simply for being on the left

again you guys didn't want actual unfiltered free speech. you wanted your political enemies silenced.

reply

1. Isn't murder and theft is ideology of the left (socialism) ?

2. Who has been blocked simply for being on the left ?

3. One doesn't support unfiltered free speech if one does not alllow doxxing?

reply

1., yes man there's never been a murder or theft done by a non leftist. how are you this dumb.

2. multiple critical journalists have been blocked.

3. who said this? are you retarded?

reply

1. The ideology of collectivism/central planning equals murder and theft.

2. Because they doxxed?

3. Accounts were blockede due to doxxing?

reply

1. what a reach you should join the NBA. im done here you idiot. I have never read something sooo dumb.

reply

Why is it dumb?

reply

It will never answer you. It did not have an argument to begin with.

reply

two retarded peas in a pod you guys :) combined you still wouldn't equal one braincell.

reply

Ah, more insults, now even for me despite me not being part of this whatsoever.
That sure makes it seem you have the stronger points here, or one to begin with, running around throwing random insults at people, especially playground level insults.

reply

you call someone an "it" then feign victimization when they dare insult you back. another ball less conservative.

incorrect. I can both provide arguments and insults. that doesn't change my arguments.

go whine elsewhere

reply

The only victim here, is you.
You are beyond help...

reply

please answer?

reply

See? It won't. ;D

reply

you honestly can't be that stupid.

reply

Why is it dumb?

reply

enjoy your day. stay incredibly stupid.

reply

The establishment (the 'left') has been doing this for over a decade.

Cope.

reply

awww whataboutism. nice try though sandy you shrivelled hag.

reply

Actually, it's not whataboutism. Take a logic course.

reply

At least we can now all agree that the "Twitter Files" controversy was absolutely bogus, and that Musk never actually supported Free Speech.

reply

I guess he reinstated the "misinformation" policy!

reply

The website which tracked his private jet was very accurate before snowflake Elon banned it from Twitter and cried that he was going to sue. Boohoo!

reply

Fake!

The police can easily identify and arrest him through his license number which hasn't happened.

reply

reply

Musk never filed a police report. The guy in the car is likely his gardener.

reply

He's an authoritarian. If Trump turned millions into cultist, I'm not surprised the owner of a tool used by millions managed to do the same.

reply

Relax, fascist. It’s a private company they can do what they want. It’s not like governments stealing elections

reply

Actually, he can't do what he wants! That is the reason Twitter had to pay a large fine and agree to protect consumer's privacy. No company is above the law! He must also adhere to EU laws. And he has also broken numerous statewide laws pertaining to employee rights.

Twitter will become the new MySpace.

reply

We’re aware. Pointing out the left’s hypocrisy is a perpetual red pill for normies though, lol.

reply

1. that's not what you were saying when conservatives were banned

2. got any evidence yet kraken?

reply

Fake! Where's the police report?

reply

It's probably just temporary. Like being in "Facebook jail" for anywhere from 24hrs to 30 days.

reply

You mean he doesn't want to be stalked? What a jerk!

Honestly, the hypocrisy the left is showing these days is beyond shameless. Good thing the left abandoned shame a long time ago.

reply

Flight data is not "leftist", flight data is public for everybody

In case you missed it, he is a public figure

He has a twitter account which means he wants to be followed, and he boasts about his followers from time to time

If Musk believes he and his family are a target, he and his family are free to delete their twitter accounts and contact the FBI and enter the Witness Security Programme

The lies of you and your ilk is domestic terrorism

reply

Fake! He tweets instead of calling the police! Where's the police report?

reply

You completely avoided the point. Disingenuous as always, lefty.

reply

You completely avoided the point. Disingenuous as always, mentally ill terrorist.

reply

Ah, you're a robot. Incapable of independent thought. Carry on, drone.

reply

Yeah, he put out a statement saying that he doesn't care if he's insulted all day every day, but that doxing him or tracking his whereabouts puts him and his family in danger and that he will not accept. And he shouldn't accept it.

reply

Nonsense! He has private security.

He's a snowflake!

reply

So?

reply

I think they're in shock. For years, Twitter and the media have been partners serving the far Left. Twitter was, they thought, there for the media freaks. Suddenly, it's not there just for them any longer. Their world view is topsy-turvy.

reply

Yes, that's exactly what's happening. The same energy as those people on Martha's Vineyard suddenly not so tolerant once some POC showed up on the island.

reply

I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means

reply

Yawn! Fake story. No police called.

reply

Nice try.

reply

What?

reply

Hardly. They simply broke the rules.

I didn't see anyone on the left crying over right wing people getting banned when the soys were in charge of Twitter.

reply

Oh sure...the top journalists in the country covering Musk and his businesses all just happened to break "rules" last night. No one is buying it.

reply

"the top journalists in the country"

Ahhahahaha. Good one.

reply

so Musk doesnt like people yelling about the current location of his jet , big whup

reply

Anyone who wants to know that can easily find out. That's not why he banned those journalists.

reply

I know anyone can find the jet info.


but according to that article the ones banned are the ones banging on about his jet . coincidence?
surely if theres another reason then other, non jet obsessed , journalists would be getting banned?

reply

I think you're nearly on the way to understanding. Yes, anyone who wants to know can easily find out. But not via Twitter. Get it yet?

reply

Then they can go to Facebook or other social media sites to get the information, which is public domain. Anyway, that isn't why he banned those journalists. He admitted in a tweet that he banned them because he "didn't like them." Later he deleted the tweet admitting that, but made up the doxxing story. He is a thin-skinned, narcissist and a gigantic hypocrite.

reply

Twitter is a private company. If one of the rules is not to dox people's location, you can't dox people's location.

Just accept it and move on. Your mental health will be better for it.
