If I were a cynic I'd wonder how much Meta has been paying Musk to act like this. He's opened up a huge new business opportunity for Meta with Threads, created all manner of opportunities for Zuck to burnish his public reputation by acting as Musk's foil, and now seems determine…

There comes a point where you can say of people who choose to stay on Twitter, and continue to provide it with content, “you're not here for the hunting, are you?” If that point hasn't already passed, we're approaching it very quickly.

This is the exact same racist conspiracy theory that motivated the Tree of Life Synagogue massacre. Twitter is a Nazi bar now, full stop.

also important to note that Elon Musk can't plead ignorance at this point — he knows what he's doing, with enormous reach and potential danger

If Elon Musk says something blatantly racist like sixteen or seventeen more times I might have to start questioning whether he really is an epochal genius and the altruistic savior of humanity

I know too many still remaining Xitter employees sticking their head in the sand. How do you ignore your boss posting rampant antisemitic conspiracy theories? What lies will you tell yourself now? Unless proven otherwise I have to assume you're with him. It's despicable and s…

People are finally waking up to the real Elon Musk but he has always been that way. A small but loud group has looked passed the Iron Man nonsense to warn people that he has been Phony Stark all along.

Elon Musk praised an X user attacking Jewish communities for pushing “hatred against whites” and supporting “hordes of minorities” coming to the country. The same conspiracy theory was behind the Tree of Life shooting — and has been echoed on Fox News. https://www.mediamatters.o…

It's not necessary or helpful to constantly repost Musk's antisemitic tweets. We know what he is and what he's turned that platform into. It's why many of us left. It's not news, it's just forcing his bigotry on people who had the sense to leave him and X behind.

My last action on Twitter was retweeting the Auschwitz Memorial account on December 15, 2022. I left and haven't looked back. — This guy stinks. The ironic thing is that if you scroll through Twitter, you'll likely find tweets right next to his, blanket labeling Jews as white…

@WhatsupFranks ... And, at the risk of being repetitive, I am deeply offended by ADL's messaging and any other groups who push de facto anti-white racism or anti-Asian racism or racism of any kind. I'm sick of it. Stop now.

Elon a year ago: “I think brands should tweet more, executives should tweet more... I would encourage people just to be more adventurous, like, that's certainly what I've done on on Twitter with with Tesla and myself and SpaceX and it's worked out quite well.”
