      First few paragraphs:

      Technocrat billionaire Elon Musk finally owned up Wednesday to restricting his critics’ X accounts. But the self-described “free speech absolutist” doesn’t see anything wrong with it.

      Last week, Musk began stripping the verifications from far-right accounts run by people who challenged his support for H-1B visas, after he and his co–DOGE czar Vivek Ramaswamy went to war arguing that Asian workers were far better than American ones. Obviously, the pro-white American far right didn’t take too kindly to that messaging.

      Among those who received disciplinary actions were Laura Loomer, the far-right activist and self-described “proud Islamophobe” whom Donald Trump ferried around during his presidential campaign, and neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, whom Musk had invited back onto the platform just over six months ago.

      By taking away their verifications and knocking them out of X Pro, it seems that Musk has rendered several large accounts unable to receive ad revenue from X. Verification makes an account more visible too, so he has curbed their potential audiences.

      Musk also suspended some smaller accounts, according to Mediaite. He defended his decision Wednesday via his favorite medium: replies on X.

      Musk is such a pathetic man child, he can’t stand that people don’t like him so he does his best to silence them while trying to build up a cult of personality around him

      The man can’t accept even the slightest bit of criticism, can’t admit mistakes or that he is in the wrong while being a narcissist with a saviour complex

      Tyrant, unaware peasants are grieving, runs them over with gold carriage.

      This fucking guy… You can’t escape one day without his doodling. He’d spend ten million to convince the world doodling was spelled dogedling.

      MAGA is what it would be like if America decided to have a government composed of teenagers.

      Seeing this neckbeard douche in the news is getting just as tiresome as seeing trump in the news all the time. Both are pretty gross people.

      Generally I see this as positive or at least the least bad thing that could happen. Its actually pretty funny to me.

      Reminder that what he’s doing now he’s been doing to his employees for decades.

      How is this unelected fucker allowed to go after govt officials ? You’re broken USA.

      Americans:

      Musk is running interference for project 2025. While you all waste time arguing with him about some shitty website he owns, your *actual* rights will be trampled behind closed doors.

      “Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life,” – Elon Musk

      This is who Trump effectively ceded the presidency to, a creepy giga turbo billionaire with a weird breeding fetish.

      lmao the free speech absolutist is censoring the very people who praised him as making Twitter a haven of free speech…

      He supports racist, misogynistic, homophobic bigotry on his platform, but you are NOT ALLOWED to criticize him!

      Typical fascism.

      “It’s my game and if your not going to play be my rules I’m going to sulk pathetically & take my game home”
      I’m guessing this is what the voice in Elmos head screams in a petulant tone?!?

      He will die of a drug overdose (spiked, obviously by other billionaires) or an own-goal by his billionaire buddies, usually using his own staff.

      He loves hiring folks like the fireworks truck guy. It’s only a matter of time…

      In history, this has happened thousands of times when a class member decides he, alone, is the architect. He’s ruining their grifts. He is causing his own demise.

      It’s fun to watch, again, again, again….

      It’s so strange when rich and powerful people punch down. It immediately reveals insecurity. Remember when he attacked some random dude in Thailand?

    22. westgazer on

      Didn’t this dude just buy an election because some unelected corrupt guys in our country decided money = speech? Does this guy stop and think for one second about what he says?

      Quick question for anyone still on X…why are you still on X?

      I got off twitter the day it changed ownership, its trajectory was obvious.
