And yet he will no doubt continue paying for his blue tick and supporting financially the self-proclaimed "free speech absolutist"...who is anything but obviously.
It was the only way he could make longer posts & write a lot more stuff in, to display for everyone to see, not because he likes or believes Elon Musk at all.
Though where can he go to that's as huge in popularity as X & allows him to have more than a 280 character limit? And without him risking being censored or silenced?
Never said that we should financially support companies like Facebook or YouTube (though YT are owned by Google). They're just as bad at censoring our 1st Amendment rights.
The point I was making, is that we sadly have limited options in regards of having free speech nowadays.
Americans will never cease longing for a (political) savior who will solve all their problems and restore them to 'prosperity'. While Musk can be lauded for seeming to rip Twitter away from the "Intelligence" family created by the Surveillance State, he can not, go too far. Deals were struck behind closed doors, as they always are, and a false sense of freedom of speech is there simply to gather more information as people 'relax'. One only needs to observe animals to understand this basic trickery of watching, waiting patiently for your prey. Get it to feel relaxed and sensing no harm and then....pounce.
The entire nation is comprised of individuals unwilling to take responsibility for their own individual actions yet filled with individual exceptionalism. We have been duped into thinking freedom of speech is a right, not the sacred privilege it truly is. It requires respect toward another's viewpoint to have truly free speech. It requires thoughtful understanding of a subject one is familiar with in order to calmly explain both sides. It requires humility something that is completely lost in pursuit of self for self.
It plays out in censorship: they believe THEIR right to free speech trumps another's right because they are correct/good and you are wrong/bad. This self-importance has become a god in this culture. The US government behaves this way toward other countries (we are right/good therefore you are wrong/bad) because it citizens behave this way toward one another.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are watching a beautiful ideal crash and burn on the altar of 'self'.
i’ve been screaming about censorship for more than a decade. i’m silenced everywhere but obscure places where no one to very few will see it. i’ve tried to contact various people with platforms and i never hear anything. it is infuriating.
Elon Musk/X can NEVER be trusted. Elon's goons suspended me and THEN began charging me for GOOGLE/Twitter monthly. I regard suspension by X as a badge of honor.
What do you think is going on with X? It certainly is not the “bastion of free speech” that Elon, et al, claim it to be, but I have yet to see a pattern of what gets censored & what doesn't. Many seemingly inocous accounts get shutdown & those i would bet on getting banned spew their vile rhetoric without consequence.
Garland Nixon’s account on X has never been restored and he has never received a coherent explanation for why his account was locked.

There are other platforms...

Substack & Odysee are just two examples. YT and Facebook have a large user base too. Should we support them financially as well?

Odysee! Never heard of! Thanks!

Get off X

there are decentralised networks you can use, where you cannot be censored (in theory)
When free speech is censored it's an effort to control what people think, that's the ultimate goal of totalitarianism.
Love the Grayzone. Learned so much since I’ve found them during Covid.

Wow Shameful , What happened to US freedom of the Press , Human Rights , A Sad Day in America
Suspicious log ins happen quite often when Zionists and Israelis Mossad try to hack your accounts!
X isn't a freedom of speech or truth platform. Just like Facebook the zionist are in control and they don't allow the truth
Elon, shame on you. Did the criminal Zionist lobby pressured you?

LOL he refers to the chef as Jose Luis instead of Jose Andres? maybe he meant to recruit for Afganistan and not Ukraine?
