@w7voa Remember this is guy requiring Twitter-X users to submit selfie with picture of government ID to be verified and subscribe for better tools and service, and wants to create global version of WeChat with ypur financial and employment information with your account numbers. Do you really want to trust this guy with your life? We thought Trump,was a nut job. Musk is the whole dish of fruits and nuts.
@w7voa I really don’t think we need another platform like Fox. He doesn’t need conventional ad $$$ since he has the Saudis and dark money. So now what?!!
@w7voa He's allowing Saudi Arabia to track down dissenters. They are part owners.
Recently the Saudis were using artillery on refugees that were travelling through the desert.
@w7voa the clarification would have a little more heft if he hadn’t been very clear that he considers “whiny Jews” (paraphrasing) to be the biggest source of anti-semitism.
@w7voa must be why he is encouraging white supremacists and other radical racist groups on X, cause none of those would ever be anti-Semitic ( only like every post)
@w7voa The ADL will demand to see a list of advertisers who told him ADL affected their X advertising or response to advertising in any way. It will be a short list.
@w7voa I really don't like seeing screenshots and quotes by this double-speaking, bullying, wanna-be king of the universe. Definitely worth a contet warning. Also worth pondering how such attention has made such creeps. (Exhibit A: DJT.)
Latest post from Elon Musk: “To clear our platform’s name on the matter of anti-Semitism, it looks like we have no choice but to file a defamation lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League … oh the irony!”
@w7voa Hi Steve, I left that platform in part because the man is a virulent bigot - when you share his quotes heree verbatim, it spreads his hate. At least begin the post with something like "noted enabler of hate speech blames his platform's rampant anti-semitism on a Jewish civil rights organization".
@w7voa If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times. The #1 favorite rhetorical move of the alt right is any form of "I know you are but what am I" / "I'm rubber, you're glue" / "nuh uh, you are" / "By calling me a racist, aren't YOU being racist?" / etc etc
It should be something childish to laugh at, but here we are, actually having to treat it like adult conversation on a daily basis.
“Pointing out the rampant antisemitism on X (#Twitter) is not ‘controlling’ anyone or threatening X’s business,” says American Jewish Committee CEO Ted Deutch following the threat by Elon Musk to sue ADL for defamation.
@w7voa Elon has shown he’s a right wing racist. Sure, but is he antisemitic, you ask. Have you seen the number of Nazis (actual, literal Nazis) he has not just allowed back in his platform but also engaged and boosted? So, yes, he is an antisemite.
“Musk is engaging with and elevating these antisemites at a time when ADL is tracking a surge of bomb threats and swatting attacks of synagogues and Jewish institutions, dramatic levels of antisemitic propaganda being littered throughout Jewish and non-Jewish residential communities, and extremists marching openly through the streets in Nazi gear.” - ADL https://www.adl.org/resources/press-release/adl-statement-xtwitter
@w7voa adl is one messed up organization- bein used as some sort of weapon against beliefs that differ from the "narrative " they r pushin- i havent seen any divisive rhetoric on X- it would not b condoned- this is all projection hence the threat of suing the adl- i get it🤷♂️🤔😉🫶✌️
@w7voa
Listen to: It's On!
Nayeema Maraza interviews Kara Swisher about Elon Musk She’s covered Musk since the late 90s. He's not himself. "He's someone that I used to know."
@w7voa I hope someone can get Yaccarino on the record on this. After all, a lawsuit isn’t part of product development, and so that would be “under her control.” And since her key experience is advertiser relations, we should hear from her on whether ADL should be blamed as the root cause for advertisers avoiding the platform since the takeover. We shouldn’t be listening to Musk since she assured us she is actually the CEO with well-defined responsibilities.
@w7voa
I collected vile antisemitic leaflets some knuckle-dragging racist dropped beside mailboxes around our neighborhood in January and a friend reported some more recently. It's only littering by law but I reported to the police and the ADL. If you see it, ask around for door cam shots. Same reported in several states across the US.
People who leave the #Xitter should first post a disclaimer. Something along the lines of:
Advertisers, take note: This is to inform you that I'm leaving because of the crap #EM continuously pulls, not because of the #ADM. You, as well as the ADM, may use my statement in legal proceedings
Ultimate, I find @msifry's "stay" arguments unconvincing. I understand the need for immediate information during breaking events. However, with a white supremacist madman increasingly interfering with our access to that information on his platform, why should we continue to rely on it?
Also, let's not call it a "flap." Musk is falsely blaming The Jews for the failure of his business. We've seen where that leads.
@w7voa@msifry the longer people stay on the dead bird site the longer they legitimize it’s clear nod to hate and fascism. It’s not going to get better.
@josephramoney@w7voa@msifry Yup. Even worse is that stayinf is only contributing to the “creeping normalization” of anti-semitism. If you don’t take a stand here, you’re effectively saying this “level” of bigotry is ok with you. Then, the next time will inevitably be worse. And because it’s only likely to be incrementally worse, you’ll probably be ok with that too. And that’s how you end up with genocide.
@w7voa@msifry The "Dead Bird Site" is now fully poisoned. As long as Elon Musk is attached to it in any way, its days are numbered. It will be one for the business school textbooks.
@w7voa@msifry I get people who built a business there being reticent to start over again. But I really feel the biggest thing enabling Musk, these bigots, and all of the rest of the shitlord class is the "sane" world's complete lack of solidarity in standing up and walking out of the perverbial room.
@w7voa@msifry for f!@$k sake it is WAY past time. Have you been paying attention. Or are you like Carrie fisher in “when Harry Met Sally” - he’s never going to leave his wife….
@w7voa@msifry omg just look back at the arbitrary and dangerous behavior, the smears, the attacks on minorities, throttling legit news sources etc. the line is so far behind you. We deserve this instability, the crisis of democracy. We forgotten the basic principles of democracy and the rule of law. Going along with herd and digital ignorance is no excuse.
@w7voa Indeed ...that is the 1st amendment => right of speaking about reality...telling people about facts and what is happening. ADL points out the fact that racists are running amok on X...X will sue... Racists saying that Jewish people have no right to live...that is free speech ? The statements are made. X is an anti-Semitic, racist, pro-nazi platform...just like the sun will rise tomorrow morning. That is a fact
@w7voa Mr Musk doesn't have a problem with antisemitism on his platform (he seems go out of his way to amplify it)... he has a problem with outside groups calling him on it.
@Hey_Beth@w7voa I have not seen any reliable news organizations verify that claim— which is also from a pro-Musk propaganda account (and probably run by himself or a sycophant).
@w7voa In the state controlled by Musk's pal: "... dabble in ... Esoteric Hitlerism – the belief that Adolf Hitler is a godlike figure."
"Goyim Defense League are described by the ADL as “a small network of virulently antisemitic provocateurs” whose overarching goal is to expel Jews from America and spread antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jewish people.", https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/09/04/orlando-florida-nazis-march-blood-tribe/
Musk wants to sue Soros because Soros wants to fight against hate speech.
