    I used to stick up for him given what he has accomplished but at this point he’s on his own. The supposed free speech champion is suppressing free speech, cancelling dissenters and has turned into a giant narcissistic butthurt troll, all the while driving the company towards bankruptcy and torpedoing his other companies in the process.

    He is literally morphing into Donald Trump in front of our eyes.

    QAnon, adrift after Trump’s defeat, finds new life in Elon Musk’s Twitter
    Among some QAnon devotees, Musk has become a figure of prophecy on par with Donald Trump

    I wonder what cause(s) of action he's going to assert?

    They still have no idea what the First Amendment says or does.

    Musk’s “Twitter Files” repackage debunked claims to falsely allege crime, collusion, and conspiracy

    Several others as well. Basically, a big chunk of the reporters covering Twitter in recent days. Speculation that I have seen was that it was for sharing a statement from the LAPD about the incident that Musk claimed happened and motivated his banning of flight tracking bots, in which they stated that they have been in contact with his security and there has not been a crime reported as of yet.

    apparently, it's upsetting for musk. He did comment "Technically, it was 90% cheers & 10% boos (except during quiet periods), but, still, that's a lot of boos, which is a first for me in real life (frequent on Twitter),"

    but can review below. Interesting how long they boo

    Between Vladimir Putin and Elon Musk I think we are definitely living in the last days.

    Musk banning folks for violations of TOS...all was ok when it was only the cons getting banned. Weird how that works.

    just whacked a bunch of posts, first time in a while.

    There's obviously plenty to discuss on the topic of Musk and Twitter. No need to focus on other posters and your own genitalia.

    I would add that Tesla is also getting lots of competition for EVs as nearly every car maker has electric models out now.

    Would you rather buy this truck

    Or this thing Musk calls a truck ...
