"Imran Ahmed, the chief executive of the Center for Countering Digital Hate, said, “Elon Musk’s actions represent a brazen attempt to silence honest criticism and independent research.” He added that Mr. Musk wanted to “stem the tide of negative stories and rebuild his relationship with advertisers.”
The center also said it did “not accept any funding from tech companies, governments, or their affiliates.”"
@w7voa A lesson I’ve learned in the current age is how little some people value their own self-respect and dignity, and how quickly they will trade those for sycophancy.
"Mine and Elon's roles are very clear," Yaccarino responds to CNBC interviewer's question. "Elon focuses on product design....and new technology" while "I'm responsible for the rest, running the company. ... I have autonomy in doing that."
"I think X might be one of the funniest places on Earth," says Yaccarino about the humor on the platform formerly known as #Twitter. "Real-time people congregate on Twitter."
CNBC: There are problems with your bosses' own tweets that have chased away advertisers.
Yaccarino: "It fuels more of an ambition for my job to make sure that everyone, including Elon, is entitled to their own opinion."
X should not be conflated with the humorous cagematch between Musk and Zuckerber, says Yaccarino, adding that Musk is really training for the physical fight against his rival.
@dkbgeek@w7voa bad as Musk is, he doesn't have over a decade of encouraging and profiting from genocide. Sure, give him time, he's trying to catch up, but Zuc has a big head start, and can keep his mouth shut.
@w7voa he literally said the opposite. He weighs over 300 pounds, eats donuts for breakfast and might need neck or back surgery. Come on now, she's just lying.
@w7voa That is an empty answer you might get from a football coach of a 0-11 team. The owner is “entitled” to have the same opinion as I do? Funny, my account is suspended and I cannot record any opinions.
@w7voa
Does she mean like the multiple horrible "jokes" about Anne Frank posted after the death of her childhood friend that I saw, immediately prior to leaving what was then Twitter? The posts weren't removed. Everyone involved at X can get off their self-constructed libertarian pedestals and go drown in the muck that is their platform, in my freely-offered opinion.
@w7voa "What a great place this would be to take a stroll at night if only we could be sure we wouldn't have our blood drained by an immortal monster," says Renfield
@w7voa Twitter shadow banned Bellingcat, because Bellingcat found this found photo of a Nazi mass murderer from Texas. Musk was very, very upset that Bellingcat exposed a person whom Musk probably admires.
@w7voa What value does he offer American society? Why do they keep giving huge voice to mentally ill people who continually engage in outrageous and malicious behavior? Is it the attraction of a human zoo?
@w7voa "Mine and Elon's roles..." AAAARGH! It's like nails on a chalkboard. I guess if she were smart enough to formulate sentences properly she'd have been smart enough not to work for Elmo.
@w7voa “Twitter users don’t care what Elon calls the database he’s so persistently wrecked…. they are only on it to watch it burn and punch Nazis anyway….”
@w7voa If this is even semi-accurate, I can't help but think it's skewed by the other 6 dissenters of a hypothetical group of 10 abandoning the sinking #twitter ship before polling the diehards 🤷
@w7voa eerily echoes how republicans make up a smaller and smaller share of the electorate but those who remain agree more with the fascist whims of its leaders
@w7voa That's one way of looking at it. I just this morning finally liberated my phone from X. (Been months since I tweeted. But still had notifications set up for newsish tweets. Finally realized that, given how little trust I have for Musk's twitter, it was foolish to have their app on my phone: he will break any rule or law if he thinks it will benefit him, so there's no reason for me to trust his company.)
