I’m not saying Elon can’t do this, far from it actually. If he wants to behave this way, fine, it’s his playground.
But for someone who is a free speech absolutist…..it’s rings hallow. It was clearly all a massive lie.
@BlastBunny That's what keeps me hypnotized by this disaster. Not Musk's antics; he bought it, he can destroy it if he wants to.
It's the hypocrisy. The insanity, illogic and narcissism. The bloated, rotting arrogance of a rich tech bro on full display.
I have a friend who was a Musk groupie. She loved him, he was brilliant, a visionary, blah blah blah. Over Thanksgiving she admitted that, with Twitter, he'd shown his true self and now he horrified her.

I console myself with the thought that it's less than half the country.
Then I worry because it's nearly half the country.
Same here. Especially painful when it’s your own siblings.
@LnzyHou @Myana @BlastBunny
I agree. My older half-brother was conservative but well-educated. Were he still alive I'm not sure if he'd buy all that MAGA crap or not.
@Jeber @LnzyHou @BlastBunny When I turned 18 I said I didn't know what party to join. My grandfather said, "I won't have a Democrat set foot in this house." That was in 1980.
Some time around 2000, he saw Bush Sr. on tv and muttered "I hate that man. He made me vote for Bill Clinton."
Yes, even my died in the wool GOP gramps went Dem at the end of his life. He couldn't stand the culture wars and the way that the GOP joined forces with Evangelicals. He'd have hated Trump.
@Jeber @LnzyHou @BlastBunny
"Died in the wool."
Man, what a typo. It's kind of cool, though, so I'm'a leaving it. 😜
A lot of people aren’t on board with the fascism of the new GOP, say what you want about Reagan the man at least played the moderate. He gave a whole speech in favor of easy immigration, legalized abortion, assault weapons bans, and expanded health coverage.
He would be demonized in todays GOP and that is frankly insane to me.
@BlastBunny @Myana @LnzyHou
My opinion of Reagan is complicated but overall negative. He was the 2nd president I served under, and a lot of those around me were ardently worshiping him like Trump's cult members. They were the most hardcore for the wrong reasons.
And have Jesus, upon his second coming, arrested as vagrant and socialist.
Their hypocrisy has been evident for ages. It's just not funny anymore.
@Jeber @Myana @LnzyHou
And I’m not saying he was a good president or even a good person
I’m just pointing out of Reagan existed today in the same form he was when he was president the GOP would call him a leftist.
