    The selective reasoning here amazes me to no end. It’s always Twitter bad, Elon bad, but nobody seems to care about the giant government-circlejerk (or reacharound if you prefer that image) that was uncovered via the Twitter files after Elon Musk took over.

    So it’s okay to censor and lie doing the government’s bidding, sometimes even preemptively, but it’s not okay to rebrand your company after all this massive pile of shit was uncovered?

    Just LOL

      The “massive pile of shit” was Taibbi and Musk releasing curated documents that farm reactionary grievance.

      And guess what? It was a garbage platform even before that. Like many others, it has a long history of amplifying conservative disinformation for ad revenue (hey, just like the “Twitter files” bullshit).

      And you fell for it. Congrats.

        I don’t know what Sivar is talking about, but I’m not seeing any “unequivocal facts” in the responses. Nothing is even backed up by references.

      There was nothing of substance in the twitter files you gaslit gobshite.
