Guys. Guys. Guys. Guess what, I'm now on a council!

I've never been on a council before. Is this what power feels like?

This is who he's been for a long time. He's always been an awful person, we're just seeing it now because he's an awful person obsessed with being famous.

^^^ Cool. But CBS said they were pausing posting on Twitter, not never posting on it again.

Impossible Yoho's news sources would never be negligent in their duty to be as accurate as possible and totally not misrepresent facts to further their rwnj agenda.

CBS also didn’t pause for any ideological reason nor to encourage others to do the same, they did so citing security concerns with the vast majority of Twitter’s workforce leaving after the ultimatum and obvious questions around security rising.

Nothing to do with “e traction” but for people like Yoho everything has a political bent.

How DARE you question the bastion of journalistic integrity like insiderpaper.com! Why would anyone question the credibility of such a stanchion of truth when it is run by Polina Tikhonova, who also publishes on Russia Insider, the anti-Semite, pro-Kremlin, pro-Russian publication? Yoho obviously knows where to go to get the absolute best disinformation! Someone could use some education on media literacy and understanding the bias of the bull#### they are consuming. What a jackass.

You know for a guy who told his employees to work extra hard and for very long hours he sure does spend a lot of time posting memes

I think it’s ironic that Musk is trying to appeal so much to a population, like Yoho et al, that he would absolutely have nothing to do with in real life. He’s a lot like Trump in that sense. Can you imagine Musk or Trump actually associating with those plebs? They really think that any of their fanboys could even afford a Tesla or to stay at their resorts? They already used up their disposable income on pillows and MAGA flags.

Elon basically begging Trump to come back on Twitter is pretty embarrassing. Imagine Trump does come back, but only posts links to his Truth Social posts. Does Elon ban him again?

The best would be if Trump’s only tweet was “Follow me exclusively on Truth Social”.

For all the negativity about Twitter under Musk, here's something that seems good. Read the whole thread for context. She appears to have been advocating for years for Twitter to do more to prevent it as she is a survivor of it herself.

Musk on Alex Jones coming back to Twitter...

So he's a free speech absolutionist, except when something he can personally relate to comes up?
