The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down

[unwashed potato!]

You seem totally lost following any simple argument tbh.

Is this it?

Sorry, that makes no sense if the issue is cheap meat

Makes no sense but I guess he thinks it sounded smart...

That makes no sense

, you're not making any sense

That makes very little sense

That also doesn't make much sense

That makes no sense tbh

You're making no sense as per usual

it doesn't make any sense

Before you go broadcasting again, do you know what a Nazi helmet looks like?

That’s not going to go down well.

And to add to the above, he is telling people to vote republican now.

-Wants to make Twitter not political
-Buys it and then as owner and CEO, immediately tells his millions of followers to vote Republican on the eve of the midterm elections.

Imagine being stupid enough to be fooled by this clown.

I'm not angry, it's just a statement of fact. I find the notion that we should self censor to please corporate advertisers abhorrent

NO ONE IS CENSORING YOU. YOU ARE BEING PREVENTED FROM SAYING WHAT YOU WANT ON A PRIVATE PLATFORM.

COCA COLA/JOHN LEWIS/MASTERCARD ARE NOT STOPPING YOU BEING HORRIBLE IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME/IN A PUBLIC PLACE.


Are you angry at OCUK, because you cannot say want you want on here as well? Why do you still post here? Are the rules and "censoring", not too stringent for you?

I think if you expect social media not to have edgy jokes and meme's because of corporate advertisers then it would be best if you **** off to China, they have fantastic social media as well as a team of moderators to ensure you don't cause any offense. I hope that's clear

Why do you feel the need to put words in my mouth? Where have I said I hate ‘edgy’ memes? You need to go outside and touch some grass for the sake of your mental health. It’s normal for a person to be so triggered every time their favourite billionaire gets insulted.

The flip side of the post you quoted is that Roar presumably thinks companies should be happy to pay for advertisement in places where they disagree with the content/ownership. They should be happy to be paying for the CEO to post pics of Nazi soldiers. Any other reaction is an infringement of OUR rights!!!11?11

The right kind of political is OK.

The whole "but muh free speech" argument surrounding private social media platforms that make money almost solely from advertising is so bizarre.

I mean the arguments put forth are just objectively wrong and quite stupid.

I think many just cannot get their heads around the concept.

"It's a private company, the owners can do what they want with it!"

Funny how that suddenly doesn't apply now the wrong guy has bought the company.


Delete social media and be done with it. Your life will be so much more fulfilling.

It does absolutely still apply.

He can do whatever he wants with it. That doesn't stop us laughing at how ridiculous and hypocritical he is.

You guys love cancel culture

Oh dear. Daniel Radcliffe changed his Twitter handle to 'Weird Al' to promote the film biography he's starring in, and...

 

[Deleted member 77746]

This won't be the last either.

 

[chroniclard]

I mean it's against the rules fair enough but this kind of bad vibe/publicity is the last thing they need at the moment.

Asserting dominance - screaming "We are not messing about".
