Elon Musk takes over Twitter

Somewhere in Croatia, an inventor is naming his terrible company "Musk."

 

Just wait until “Musk” becomes a verb:

“Wow, I can’t believe the Broncos blew a three-touchdown lead.”

“Yeah, Denver really Musked that one.”

 

Figures Tesla’s new semi is full-on flop in the eyes of at least one trucker.
Tesla Semi's cab design makes it a 'completely stupid vehicle,' trucker says

 

Won't be official until Clemson can start Clemsoning Musking away games again.

 

You expect a Super Genius like Elon Musk to consult with truck drivers when designing a semi!?! Woke mind virus at work!!!

 

Ugh.

The 'town square' isn't owned by one guy.

Our Reporting at Twitter

 

So he’s an anti-semi too?

 

I read the "blacklist" story in that link.

Curious what "ugh." is in reference to.

 

A partial list, in no order:

the Free Press

the University of Austin

bad cash journalism

revisionism, willful disinformation and PR masquerading as bad cash journalism

Bari Weiss's persecution complex

Matt Taibbi's " " "

Glenn Greenwald's " " "

threadbare "reporting" custom-tailored to suit Musk's "arguments" and preconceptions

Taibbi said "conditions." Weiss says "condition." What were all the conditions under which they were hired and any of this is being written?

how much were they paid?

who's editing this stuff?

who's fact-checking this stuff?

Bari Weiss, generally

Matt Taibbi, generally

Elon Musk, generally, and

his understanding of "free speech"

" " " " " " the 1st Amendment

" " " " " " the Town Square

and the idea that a platform with global reach far in excess of any newsgathering organization is now controlled by a poorly read collar-popping insane clown posse broheim.

 

Would it still bother you if a team from the NYT or WaPo or (insert your favorite rag here) fact and perspective checked the blacklist piece 7 ways till Sunday and said all is copacetic?​

 

I'd be happy with anything that isn't fake transparency in service of fake libertarianism in service of a fake story about a platform adhering to its own terms of service.
