Musk failed to get the necessary permits to change Twitter’s building signage to X, and the police shut it down just in time for “er” to remain. #x

has been caught refusing to remove propaganda from and is now being sued in Germany, where they take these matters seriously. After being sued, the solution which chose to deal with it was to hide some nazi tweets in the lawsuit from Germans, but not to even remove those small number of tweets from Twitter as a whole. Please tell me again how Elon isn't supporting nazis. Not that anyone can see the nazi tweets for all the issues https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/jul/10/twitter-faces-legal-challenge-after-failing-to-remove-reported-hate-tweets

My thoughts on Meta's strategy on launching an ActivityPub-based social network are simple.

Embrace, extend, and extinguish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

Embrace: Look, we've launched a shiny new Twitter clone!

It's not an empty new social platform, like Google Plus was. You can already access all the content on Mastodon and all the other ActivityPub-based platforms!

We've seen the light! We now embrace open networks!

And it's so simple!

All you people who wanted to switch to Mastodon, but freaked out when you read the word "server" and thought it was too complicated for you, no fear! We've done away with the confusing choice for you! It's a super simple UX!

Extend: Our shiny new Twitter clone now integrates seamlessly with Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and more! You can even get notifications in Horizon Worlds!

Oh, we're not integrating our other platforms to ActivityPub. If you want one easy platform for Meta's social media platforms and ActivityPub, our Twitter clone is your only choice!

To advertisers and media, we'll let you boost posts too, for a tiny fee!

We'll feature you prominently on our new algorithmic feed.

So don't bother spinning up your own Masto instance, join us instead!

Extinguish: As of 1 July, we are depreciating support for ActivityPub.

Also, effective immediately, our privacy terms have been updated. You won't believe what we hid on page 76.

Elon lied about the monkeys — and he shouldn't be trusted to put his Neuralink chips in human brains.

"They are claiming they are going to put a safe device on the market, and that's why you should invest," Ryan Merkley at the Physicians Committee, told Wired. "And we see his lie as a way to whitewash what happened in these exploratory studies."

Really heartbreaking reading what happened to the monkeys.

People quite rightly think of Elizabeth Holmes as a fraud for making false medical claims about what the Theranos machines could do. So why aren't Elon's claims at Neuralink being held to the same level of scrutiny?

Elon musk took the Turkish people's chance at democracy and freedom away, interfering devastatingly, by preventing the Dictators opposition from tweeting, while filling Turkish twitter with fake news, deep fake videos.

Including tweets showing deep fake film of the leading opposition party chanting approval of a Turkish terrorist group, and twitter prevented anyone from calling them fake.

Elon Musk's fell purpose with twitter, is to bring Turkish elections, to America.

Just think, now every single site that has an view in an article is no longer displaying that tweet.

  • At best, can show whatever he wants on it's place, tweet-by-tweet from subtle change to full-on counter-factual or malvertising.
  • At worst, it's a vector for Elon to run whatever code he wants on your site.

Used an <iframe>? You're in the best case camp.
Used a -hosted embed <script> ? Good luck.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

In , there's a building labeled 'The Church of St. Elon,' in Russian, no less!

We went there to see how became, in Ukrainians' eyes, 'Elon Muscovite'

Elon Musk went from being the Henry Ford of our generation (admired carmaker, brilliant salesman) to being the Henry Ford of our generation (conspiracy theorist, Nazi-enabler)

Elon Musk spent 44 billion dollars on buying Twitter, only to change everything which made Twitter brilliant. And now, as Twitter is on the verge of failure, Musk claims it is all the advertisers’ fault.
But is it?
Watch my deep dive into Elon’s business decisions and see how even a professional company can be killed by amateur leadership.

This week, Super Bowl 2024 shattered records, with the championship broadcast on CBS becoming the most-watched televised event in history.

Also riding high from the big game? 's #X.

A whopping 75.85 percent of traffic from X to its advertising clients' websites during the weekend of the Super Bowl was fake.

Facebook already appears to hold the social networking rights to ‘X’

Elon Musk, who bought for $44 billion last year, announced that the platform will now be called "X," but Mark 's has already registered an "X" logo in connection to "online social networking services" and "social networking services in the fields of entertainment, gaming, and application development."

Elon's "extremely hardcore" toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.

"Some SpaceX workers resorted to taking Adderall to keep up with the pace of work at the company's launch facility, and others found themselves falling asleep in the bathroom during long workweeks, a recent Reuters investigation found.

"Travis Carson, a former SpaceX worker at the company's facility in Brownsville, Texas, told Reuters some workers took Adderall — a stimulant designed to help people with ADHD improve their focus and concentration levels — without a prescription to keep up with the pace of work."
