Elon Musk changed Twitter's algorithm to feature his own tweets and now he's using that power to promote his preferred presidential candidate.

lmgenealogy,

@juddlegum And yet he squawks about free speech.

hallam,

@juddlegum It will make no difference because the base doesn’t want Trump policies from a less compromised politician, they want Trump because he is vile.

DeSantis won’t replace Trump because he doesn’t dominate anyone, he can’t even bully Disney.

thisven,

@juddlegum This is a consquence of what is called "Privatisierte Rechtsdurchsetzung" in German: https://media.ccc.de/v/33c3-8040-privatisierung_der_rechtsdurchsetzung

Privatized law enforcement means that more and more law enforcement is not enforced in a constitutional way but by private actors. The state tolerates such situations as it likes to delegate responsibility and hopes problems might be solved by others this way.

udondan,

@juddlegum BREAKING: Right wing schmuck uses his right wing site to promote right wing shit.

etcshad0w,

@juddlegum @briankrebs which explains why I keep seeing his tweets even though I don’t follow him nor do I give a flying fuck about this guy.

luzkenin,

@juddlegum Funny because I do not see any of them.

TorbjornBjorkman,

@juddlegum I take heart from the fact that Musk's core strength seems to be more in the turning of wine into piss than pissants into winners.

@juddlegum feels like that would be some kind of political donation

ntrembath,

@juddlegum A candidate with a history of giving targeted tax breaks to political allies, rescinding them when he feels they’ve crossed him (and brags in writing that he does this).

pkoopmanpk,

@juddlegum
Still, corporations, journalists, and news-outlets keep supporting this abomination?

marcorobotics,

@juddlegum promote to who exactly? bots?

chaos,

@juddlegum in kind donation?

prex,

@juddlegum given the De Santis' campaign launch, Elon's favorite candidate is probably Trump😄

billjurgensen,

@juddlegum Maybe he should have bought Parler.

ed_donofrio,

@juddlegum toxic, moronic richness.

Amandafclark,

@juddlegum unless you blocked him 😂

metodrybar,

@juddlegum this was an actual plot in Homeland I think

numberisnan,

@juddlegum [[ Citation Needed ]]

PhilthyPierre,

@juddlegum
I must be using Twitter wrongly. I never see his tweets unless someone I follow retweets them (and that's rare😉 )

cocacola,

@juddlegum these nervous that the Democrats will not win in 2024? the economy will work better with the Republican Party

Groovytasia,

@juddlegum Didn't Google get somewhat in trouble with antitrust laws when it came out that they control results so you see websites favorable to them and their partners first? I feel like changing an algorithm so that your candidate choices and business choices are shown above others falls under that same category. But I doubt that the current House will look into it

Jodami,

@juddlegum
Oh great, Musk has now gone full on loopy and thinks he’s the Earl of Warwick.

@juddlegum He's also making it impossible to delete a twitter account😖

@juddlegum Seems like that's an in-kind campaign contribution that needs to be properly valued and reported.
