    On the other hand, there is nothing more predictable than an aggrieved rich guy becoming a right-wing reactionary

    On the contrary, white supremacists love black men who are willing to repeat their talking points. White supremacists delight in being able to quote black men in advancing their cause.

    The modern world has made destroying yourself very convenient. You can do it in minutes from the comfort of your couch.

    Yeah, there's no point in trying to make sense of Kanye anymore. He's definitely one who's flown over the cuckoo's nest. Something tells me he's into some sort of self-sabotage thing where he subconsciously looks for ways to sabotage his own life. It's a mental illness.

    All I know is he better not set foot in NYC lest Eric Adams lock him up for being mentally ill

    Well, that's true. He's a tool for them - a means to an end - similar to Milo. I don't think that means they like him much less "love" him in any traditional use of the words.

    WOW. Elon moving the goalposts. What happened to free speech? Sounds like the BIG GOV lovers move from free trade to FAIR trade. Now, I guess it is fair speech. LOL

    LOL ... saying he doesn't want to serve 20% of their users is probably more restrictive than Twitter ever was. Why call yourself a "free speech absolutist" then say you only "aim to serve" the middle 80% that don't normally have controversial opinions...

    Keep on spinning the false narrative. You guys act as if Elon removed the TOS or something. TOS has remained in tact and Elon never said he was attempting to cater to extremism. Still just mad he took your free lunch. LOL

    Its viewed as a monopoly. I cannot help but think that someone has the infrastructure for an alternative being built or expanded and there will be a mass migration at some point and twitter will rot on the vine after the migration occurs. Lindell, Tesla, SpaceX can fund twitter ads but that will crush Tesla sells. Musk could end up beingbthe Twit that destroyed Tesla so he could tweet as he pleases. The SEC has taught him nothing

    Unsurprisingly, the second part of this turned out to be false.

    I guess everyone brought back (notably, not including Alex Jones)is going to start with a clean slate. Anglin says he's going to follow the rules (whatever they might be), but I don't see how he's going to be able to help himself. His hatred of women is one reason even a lot of other White Nationalists and Neo-Nazis don't like him and want nothing to do with him. I don't recall the circumstances behind him creating or going to the Daily Stormer (as opposed to Stormfront), but he's extreme even amongst the extreme.

    Musk's reveal of Hunter Biden Twitter suppression held up for fact-check

    Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced that his team was "double-checking some facts" before releasing information about the network's suppression of a 2020 New York Post article about Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden.

    Musk first tweeted Friday afternoon that "what really happened" regarding the platform's censorship of the story would be posted on Twitter at 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.

    At 5:21 p.m., the CEO backtracked on his original deadline, saying that "live tweeting" about the information would start within the hour.
