Hey dummy, if “NC Sheriffs” are actually threatening this that doesn’t mean that FEMA was ever even doing that. But good to see you are now on the side of local law enforcement, because you were not when it was local law enforcement (nothing to do with state or federal) that threatened the arrest of the helicopter pilot.

Right over your head. I never said I didn’t care about freedom of speech, I do. But there is more to “being politically neutral” than just having freedom of speech.

If true, this would be another way that X is not politically neutral. But all these idiots care about is whether or not posts are being censored.

Again. It’s not just “the person” speaking when the person is speaking ABOUT the company, in a political manner.

Governor Roy coming in hot. Unlike Biden/Harris, this is a Dem I’ve actually voted for.

Good question here

Again. He is certainly welcome to his opinion, but it becomes more than just his opinion when he speaks on behalf of the company. And even that I wouldn’t care about if he didn’t brag about it being “politically neutral.” And again. By continuing to bring up old Twitter/other platforms, you guys are acknowledging a bias remains. My issue isn’t that there’s a bias, since it’s a private company so he can do what he wants, my issue is with him specifically claiming there wasn’t going to be a bias but then having one anyway. Man you guys are dense.

The facts like (falsely) saying Harris is going to ban X? You guys seem to think being “politically neutral” just means not censoring one side. But speaking negatively of one side, particularly when doing so on behalf of the company which Musk has done, is also not being politically neutral. That is all.

You’re having a hard time comprehending here. I don’t care that he suspended him. I care that he did it after he specifically said he wasn’t going to. You know, kinda like how he said his company was going to be politically neutral but then he accused one candidate of wanting to ban his company (with no evidence of course). He’s a great businessman. But he’s a giant hypocrite. Edit: and we still don’t know the political leanings of Crooks btw

Except for that time he suspended all those journalists who posted articles about how he suspended the guy that tracked his plane after specifically saying he would not ban the guy that tracked his plane.

Well when he spoke for his company, he said people should vote for Trump if they still wanted to be able to use X. That is the exact opposite of being “politically neutral.” HTH I absolutely think he should be able to do that. I just don’t think he should say the company is being politically neutral before doing so.

Musk & X is a unique situation though, you can’t really compare him to random lib CEO’s. 1) There are few (maybe no other) CEO’s as outspoken as him 2) He owns a social media company, so the way we hear what he has to say is usually through the company he owns. Probably the only comparison is Zuck, but even he doesn’t really talk that much. Again, if Musk made it clear that his opinions did not represent the company, that would be one thing. But when he makes political statements like accusing the Presidential candidate he opposes of wanting to ban his company, then he is speaking for that company whether you want to admit it or not.

By continuing to bring up the whataboutism of old twitter, you seem to be acknowledging that new twitter has a bias too, so thanks for agreeing with me. But old twitter never said they need to “upset the far left and far right equally.” Musk, quite literally does make the rules. And he can do what he wants. But because of his celebrity status, things he says are typically interpreted as also being the opinion of the company he owns (that’s why you see some libs with those dumb bumper stickers on their Teslas). So it’s hypocritical for the owner of the site to say it needs to be “politically neutral” while also being Trump’s #1 fan.

Again missing the point. Have NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WAPO, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Politico, Rh Atlantic, The Guardian, Reuters, NPR, AP, PBS, Rolling Stone and, all their affiliates including daytime and nighttime talk, multiple celebrities, most of the Dems in Congress, the President, the Vice President, the current VP candidate, multiple former Democrat Pols, several athletes most of academia, NGOs, the teachers unions and I’m leaving out dozens of others said they need to “upset the far left and far right equally”?

Again idiots missing the point

Also this would be fine IMO if Musk was not a celebrity universally seen as the face of twitter. Same way if Zuckerberg or Bill Gates say something it is attached to their companies. He could at least put the “opinions are my own and do not reflect any positions of X as a company” line in his bio or something. Instead, he literally links to a Trump fundraising group.

So when he says that Harris/Walz will ban X (stated as fact and not as an opinion), you don’t think he’s speaking on behalf of the company?

Again missing the point. Have Zuckerberg and Bezos said they need to “upset the far left and the far right equally”?

This post has nothing to do with my point. I didn’t say anything about old Twitter. All I’m saying is that it is hypocritical IMO for Musk, as the celebrity owner of the site (seen by many as the face of it), to say it needs to be “politically neutral,” but then make many posts in support of Trump. And several of his pro-Trump posts also relate to X itself so aren’t just personal opinions, such as when he tried to fear monger people into believing that Harris will ban X if she wins.

A distinction without a difference, IMO. You are of course welcome to your own opinion.

The owner previously said the below, and now is going on and on about how “Trump must win” to save democracy. Not quite politically neutral if you ask me. Yeah yeah “these are his opinions,” but for all intents and purposes he is x/twitter.

This sounds like motivation for you to report him. And still waiting for those discord screenshots, liar.

So you would rather have a circle jerk where everyone repeats the same opinions from the RNC glory hole?

Ah that was the one I was forgetting. You can also add @Jose M to your list as well Did HT pay up?

I didn’t see what it said, just saw the notification that you quoted me
