He wouldn’t moderate it. He thinks the death of a few Black people is absolutely worth the cost of free speech - sorry “freeze peach”.
And who gives a shit if live-streaming it puts more innocents in the building and first responders at risk?
It’s not like he’s ever going to step foot anywhere his security team doesn’t have control of.
I mean, isn’t the REAL crime that we might take away the ability of a white man to mansplain to the rest of humanity… /s
Yep… cause he’s a…
He’ll send in a robot submarine. Next month.
Twitter seems like an odd place to say all this.
I don’t mind him running his mouth like this if it means it increases the chances of the twitter deal falling apart.
If anything, folks should be encouraging this big mouth’s worst devils to help ruin this deal. Use his shit emotional intelligence against him.
Business Insider isn’t your personal porn site, Elmer.
Oh. So now he wants the SEC to do him a favor?
“The spam bots are not why he is backing away from the deal, as you can tell from the fact that the spam bots are why he did the deal. He has produced no evidence at all that Twitter’s estimates are wrong, and certainly not that they are materially wrong or made in bad faith,” Levine writes, adding that Musk’s method for counting spam bots is “laughable.”
“More important, nothing has changed about the bot problem since Musk signed the merger agreement. Twitter has published the same qualified estimate — that fewer than 5% of monetizable accounts are fake — for the last eight years,” writes Levine. “Musk knew those estimates, and declined to do any nonpublic due diligence before signing the merger agreement.”
Levine points out that tech stocks have gone down, as well as the stock value of Tesla, which he was relying on to finance part of the Twitter purchase. According to Levine, Musk is “angling to reprice the deal for straightforward market reasons” but the merger agreement that he signed doesn’t allow him to get out just because stocks went down.
How many bots there are is not even the right metric to evaluate! What % of content is posted by bots? How much do they fuck with Twitter’s engagement numbers? What content are they amplifying or burying? Those are the things that matter, regardless of how many there are. How many bots is a stupid thing to focus on unless you understand what that number actually means in terms of how they affect the platform
It’s almost like this guy is a dummy with no idea how anything works …
Hey Elon…
Fucking fascist.
He probably just wants to speed up the GOP’s trans genocide. Though if he goes through with the twitter purchase, he’ll be in for a world of hurt when republicans remove section 230.
Probably… and push for yet another form of segregation that he probably fondly remembers from his childhood.
He gets to vote for fascists and make the US a little more like home.
With that $1 billion he’ll transfer to their balance sheet- Elmer will single handedly change Twitter from a growth to a value stock.
