its a x clone but a left wing echochamber.

You mean no Murdoch or Russian bots? I have ditched X too. Its important to actually cancel your account as that sends a message to the few advertisers that still support it (other than crypto scams of course)

so murdoch is funding the purchase of ai bots on legacy media's main source of competition is it? You have to be taking the piss lad

 

[true believer]

X was brought to silence dissenting voices ,like stephen king .the 44 billion to pay for it funded by the oil billionaires ,will be easily be recouped by striping 6 trillion from pensions , medical and educational resources .as well as halting climate action .
x remains an incel space. were they can opening boast about rape , murder and slavery

 

[Wombat]

I've never had it but would probably do the same as you.

X is where you can actually find unpalatable truths. Stuff the MSM likes to hide.

Ive never had any social media so I cant comment. My point is that if I was in anyway enriching the First Lady I would put a stop to it.

X where Musk is well known for banning accounts of people he doesn't like? That X?

The X which is more compliant with government take down requests that Twitter was?

One that takes down videos of overseas human rights abuses when their government demands it?

Yeah, I'm sure that will go really well when it's egotistical owner is closely allied with an incredibly insecure narcissistic well known for trying to shut down opposition.

Elon Musk criticizes censorship, but his X grants more government requests than Twitter did

His social media platform took action on 71% of legal requests between January and June, according to a new report

Elon Musk is absolutely not a ‘free speech absolutist’

Musk has previously said X has “no choice” but to comply with these requests.

Musk bought X to turn it into his own propaganda machine.

Which raises the obvious question- why had he been rewarded with his new Department? What exactly did he do to warrant such a reward?

He strangled dissent on X and paid Trumps campaign $130m. When they fall out it will be delicious. Trump backstabs everyone in the end.
Plus they are both involved in the Epstein thing

Both are in bed with Putin too.

So, apparently Musk is calling for the smartest 1% in the country to apply for his meme department to work 80+ hours for free.

You can't make this up.

Of course, I'm sure Trump would see no issue with that given he's well known for not paying his workers. Or suppliers...contractors...etc. Clearly, somebody with the integrity to be President.
