I saw a post on that platform earlier written by someone with a large account (350k "followers") bemoaning the way X is turning out, how the unholy Musk / WEF graduate Yaccarino alliance was steering it to the abyss, and hundreds of people agreeing in the replies. Almost all of them, original poster included, had provided their phone numbers and a monthly contribution to the CEO's salary via their blue tick subscriptions. Hard to comprehend.
I am old enough to remember when "liberal" meant anti-war, pro free speech, and pro environment, now it means pro-war, anti-free speech, and pro technocratic fascism with a thin veneer of woke. In short people who uncritically swallow state and corporate media propaganda.
Musk likes to play the "bad boy" billionaire, and wants to have it both ways, teasing us with "Twitter Files" (which did raise a small ruckus even though corporate media really "de-amplified" that story) then going back to form with Yuckarrino. He's also into brain chips ("NeuraLink"), which is a major WEF initiative. Klaus Schwab's sick dream is that we all have brain chips in the near future...
I would, but not until I made a pile of money off him and he had become dependent on me for his audience. Then I’d say he violated some obscure non-existent rule and totally cancel him.
Sorry about mixed message. My Twitter relationship is complicated, lol.
I had Twitter account in good standing for 10 years with over 7,000 followers, and BOOM, was swept up in the 2021 Twitter Purge and suspended for life! So obviously, I am not a fan of old Twitter and government control.
I LOVE Elon for the freedom of expression that I (and other formerly banned comrades) have experienced since I went back to new Twitter.
Some were able to get their old accounts back. Others came back with new handles (like me). Everyone can talk about vaccines and Covid19 until the cows come home!
I do NOT trust WEF Ghoul at all, as you aptly expressed! So I am taken aback by Elon hiring her in the first place. Is she policy? (scams and porn and inciting violence) OR is she the new censorship? We don't know... yet. And her sing-song stance is vague... intentionally.
I HATE the X logo. Bring back the Blue Bird of happiness!
PS
I probably did not clear that up, but you're spot on about WEF Ghoul.
Has always been OWNED by the owners who owned the Presses
Now is no different.
MORE important about the witch of 'X', is that she ran the trans-humanism program at WEF, and that MUSK is a trans-humanism nut, so together they have an agenda, which is to normalize MOLOCH.
What is 'awful', you failed to define it
Trans-Humanists are always talking about eating feces & bugs, that is the future they say; Is that awful, or delicious?
I remember Elon himself talking about this a little while back. I got the impression positivity would just get more reach than negativity ... but Yaccarino seems to be on a different page. I suppose it depends on what she means by "awful"....
I am back on Twitter (with a new handle) after the 2021 Twitter Purge. So far, LOVE Elon, HATE X logo.
Of course, I don't trust WEF Ghoul at all, but so far, the tweeting has been very freeing, especially about vaccines, Covid19 and the censorship topic in general. The "Dirty Disinformation Dozen" including RFKjr can speak freely now, and Tucker talks a lot! @realDonaldTrump's old account was re-instated but he does not do new Twitter.
I don't know what WEF Ghoul means by "lawful but awful speech". I hope it is only targeting scammers and porn (those girl cams that follow everybody). I was warned today that my Twitter was trying to be accessed from a strange location and advised to change my password.
Yup, and still financed by gov censorship regime. Didnt like my OSHA complaint and its reach, likely feared their staff would up n run, shedding in the workplace! Oh and i hit Elon for his curavac sales pitch. Afterall docs found pollution in the vax vials. And Elon is on record spewing the benefits of “Magnetic Stirring” lol, magnets require metal to magnetize/move etc!
I was appropriately humbled to find that my previous bloated comment went over like a lead balloon.
But I am cheered and gratified to discover that writer and sociopolitical critic of predatory global capitalism CJ Hopkins just sent up a lead balloon that's pretty close to what I wrote:
I recommended this CJ post because, as noted, he and I seem to be simpatico on the subject of Musk. FWIW, I used to be an enthusiastic CJ fan-- almost at the level of "unconditional positive regard", which is rare for me-- and very much enjoyed his dystopian novel, "Zone 23".
But the honeymoon ended a while back when CJ surprisingly (at the time) had a meltdown over Mattias Desmet, author of "The Psychology of Totalitarianism" and proponent of the "mass formation" analysis that explores how and why the public buys into frauds like the Megadeath Virus of Doom Scamdemic and other overclass-imposed false narratives.
Without descending into a long-winded review of Desmet's theories or the contretemps, CJ's ugly and wrongheaded disparaging of Desmet revealed a dark, bitter, and nasty side that I hadn't seen or noticed before. His recurring Desmet diatribes, and snarky passing references to Desmet and his work, turned me off to a point where I couldn't read him any more; I finally recovered to a point where I could gingerly read his commentaries, albeit with trepidation and a generous pinch of salt.
I didn't know that you'd also been subjected to CJ's "Mr. Hyde" persona, but after his reaction to Desmet cracked his mask, so to speak, I'm not surprised to learn that it wasn't an isolated lapse. 🤨
Pardon another TL;DR opus of mostly recycled comments. I begin with an excerpt from a comment written last March, around the time Musk promoted, or "teased", the muckraking "Twitter Files" exposure-- then abruptly shut down the project, peremptorily asserting that it accomplished its task and it was time to move on:
________________________________________
I still find Musk incipiently repellent, although I admit I haven’t bothered to “research” him; I think he just triggers my settled animus toward Big Tech “icons”, e.g. Bill Gates and the social-media poobahs. FWIW, I didn't warm up to the late Steve Jobs, either
Whenever I see photos and thumbails of Musk, he always has this sardonic smirk plastered on his face– as if everything he says is, or more accurately might be, facetious or ironic. He seems to bumptiously cultivate the persona of The Rogue, or The Trickster. What will he say or do next? The world breathlessly awaits!
The prospect of the "Twitter Files" being still another modified limited hangout was apparent from its inception.
As usual, optimists wearing Musk-colored glasses 🕶 imagined that intrepid contrarian Musk, perhaps determined to incarnate Ralph Nader's fantasy of the nation being rescued or saved by benevolent, altruistic, conscientious "Super-Rich" magnates, was assembling a crack team of independent investigative journalists-- super-muckrakers-- who would pore over the trove of files and exhaustively disclose and analyze them without fear or favor.
Without cluttering this up with more prescient self-quotes, I (being one of those tiresome knee-jerk cynics) wondered if the Twitter Files would turn out like the Snowden documents trove. That debacle also involved a supposedly subversive Super-Rich guy, Pierre Omidyar, sponsoring a fearless, perspicacious investigative journalist, Glenn Greenwald; it also promised an exhaustive review with plenty of transparency.
In case anyone's forgotten, that episode turned out to be a textbook modified limited hangout. Writer and sociopolitical critic CJ Hopkins, still being jerked around by the "New" Twitter, believes that in contrast to the shady Omidyar (and Greenwald in this adventure), Musk may not have orchestrated or schemed all along to turn the Twitter Files exposé into another maddening tease that would trail off with a series of whimpers instead of bangs-- but once he took over Twitter, it just worked out that way.
I couldn't entirely resist hoping I was wrong, and that Musk would turn out to have redeeming qualities after all. Now I think it's become obvious that Musk is principally narcissistically absorbed with his own insouciance and mega-wealth acquisition, and relishes being a daily sensation who attracts admiring or concerned attention for its own sake.

I would've given dishonorable mention to Elon Musk. Even granting that Musk is a bit enigmatic and difficult to fathom, there's evidence that he is, at best, a capricious narcissist. It's one of those "glass half-full vs. glass half-empty" dilemmas, but I don't trust the spin that Musk is a sincere, committed, and unequivocal defender and promoter of free speech.
I drew a strong negative inference when Musk abruptly shut down, or at least throttled down, the sensational "Twitter Files" investigative journalism project.
Putting WEF minion Yaccarino in charge is definitely a Kiss of Death for free speech. Where did free speech die? X marks the spot! 🤨
You can not represent free speech, when your C.E O. is connected to corporate media and has ties to the World Economic Forum.
Yep. Money talks.

“Billionaires should not own social media or legacy media. It is harmful to democracy around the globe.” TRUE

Will this “lawful but awful” deamplification apply to Tucker?
If you were the X Censorship Ghoul would you?
The X symbolism is curious to me. It seems like it has a devious meaning.
I think it is because of SpaceX which Elon also owns, but yeah, I HATE the X logo.
I think one of his children is named X for short. The other is Y. Interesting choices for names…
“Jerk-faced ghoul” made my day
I would, but not until I made a pile of money off him and he had become dependent on me for his audience. Then I’d say he violated some obscure non-existent rule and totally cancel him.
don't know.
And there's the rub. We all don't know.
Ben Swann:
'X CEO Linda Yaccarino: "Lawful but awful" content will be hidden.
Can you tell us how "awful" content will be defined, @elonmusk?'
https://twitter.com/BenSwann_/status/1689739501470396416
Lulu Cheng Meservey:
"In comms, details matter:
The @X team should stop saying “lawful but awful” and switch to “awful but lawful.”
The takeaway always goes after the “but.”
Awful but lawful = it may be terrible, but it’s still legal (intended messaging)
Lawful but awful = ok it’s legal but it’s still really bad (misses the point, actually makes the opposing point)
I’m sorry to quibble over words, BUT details matter"

I don’t get what you are doing, or message you are trying to send? I am glad you LOVE X.

I think Elon was being a straw man until he could set up X to make a profit, you’ll see more censorship now. I think he’s an asshole, myself.
Freedom of the Press
Has always been OWNED by the owners who owned the Presses

Just a side note: Petition to Bring Back BLUE BIRD to Twitter
https://www.change.org/p/twitter-inc-bring-back-twitter-blue-bird-logo
Honestly, this is the last petition I would sign.
lol, I am very sentimental about the Blue Bird Tweet logo
