Ah haaaa lol, When people bring Trump up in the same conversation as Musk! They have blinked and showed their hand!
All this hate for him isn't due to how he is running a website is it? be honest it's because of the political divide.
I still don't know or under stand what make you a person on the left or the right. Surely we all want what's best for everyone as a hole and not change everything for the majority so the minority can.... what do they want?

Do you even...

Christ what is with the invasion of people today who cannot use English properly.

English is not my first language, I am sorry if what i type causes you to take umbrage with it.

I dunno, I mean I think Musk has some issues but I am willing to believe he isn't so soft in the head that he would think Trump was better than Biden

I could see Elon being conflicted, since he personally would probably be better of with Trumps tax reforms, but Tesla better off with Bidens green leanings

Im not saying he voted for Trump I dont think he is that much of an arse.

Knowing Musk he probably scored out the name on the ballot sheet and wrote his own.

Then voted for it.

If you have these 'more balanced' sources that you suggested earlier that we should be reading, please just say what they are.

So if I provide a few links to (western)media sources then you're actually going to take a look at them rather than just brush them off as rubbish?

Its not that, its what you have posted in two threads here with non native English as your language is setting my spidey senses tingling.

Says the guy who couldn't even get the title of the thread correct.

Actual title ...>The ongoing Elon Twitter saga: "insert demographic" melts down
Come to think of it, you may be part of that demographic currently having a meltdown and pulling their hair out.

I didn't specify Western, I just want to know what sources you recommend to get more balanced news from - if they genuinely seem more balanced and I don't already use them then I may start using them. If you post links to russianumber1news.com or something, then I may well brush it off as nonsense

So far you've given nothing more than a recommendation to jump on twitter and ... well that was it.

noooo what most people reply with is their own personal understanding of what has been posted.
The actual meaning of the post is then turned on its head in the goal of getting a "1up" on the other poster.
With all the bittering over new twitter....ing what does either side actually want to achieve here. will there be
a final post where someone is declared the winner?

Free Love · 13 Apr 2023 at 17:12

Posters here on the " left " - What is it you actual stand for and what are your lives goals regarding Society?
Posters here on the " right " - same Q

I can only read English so there won't be any issues there.

Without Twitter I would probably use more well known news sources from the mainstream media, now whether you agree on their take is a choice you will have to make.

This one may not be trustworthy

Like I said you may not agree with their take.

My God…

*Huge, repeating, infinite facepalm*

This is a parody account surely? It cannot possibly be for real.

I'm guessing that post went over your head.

No. I am guessing all the other posts about the Musk 'Peace plan' went over yours.
