He would love to be able to say X was shutdown, sounds muuuuuch better than X ran out of money because he ran it into the ground.
He tried to do the same suing the advertisers who boycotted him. It wasn't about the lawsuit, it was about having something to point at when it collapsed.
If a Democratic president is willing and able to arrest him immediately why haven't they done it in the past three years? Does he think Biden is a bastion of free speech in the party?
Why would he care? Trump is evidence that the rich and powerful never need to face any actual consequences. Even after being convicted of 43 felonies, the dude is running around free, campaigning for president with impunity and zero consequences.
I'd logged into Twitter the other day for the first time in years, first thing I noticed was a bunch of this twats tweets and that I was following him. Did he force accounts to follow him when he took over?
Could it be that he's making the calculation that if Kamala's elected, Tesla will be fine anyways, but if Trump gets elected, everything helping electric car makers will go to shits except Tesla, because of his nauseating brown nosing?
Or is his brain just shit and rot? Was it always, or what happened??
They need to overhaul the FCC and rework and reintroduce the Fairness doctrine and make sure it applies to social networks and that they have access to even the most hidden forms of moderation and how it's getting applied. It should be something rigorous enough that people should be able to issue violation complaints to authorities when breached that will actually be actionable, and it should have different standards between small social networks and large ones.
What I hate about social networks nowadays is how they try to pass off as something that is only surface level and they really make no effort being. Their biases and the sort of comments they are and aren't removing should be on full display, and not just the made up reasons they might stick as an excuse.
I mean, he's kinda right though. Dems are known for suppressing free speech. Look at lemmy, it's 99.9% blue and you once say something like "Trump gud, illegal immigrant Kamala bad" and instead of a factual argument with a birth certificate attached, you just get a ban.
Dems want an oppressive regimen where everyone who disagrees with them is silenced. So, I understand why he's worried.
And if this does happen, you'll see lemmy cheer. Lemmy values free speech and independent opinion only when it aligns with their.
I'd love to talk to you about illegal kamala but first I need to make sure you aren't a Russian bot. Kindly attach a picture of you wrapped in an American flag and then we'll talk.
Hard to avoid a US political debate on lemmy. Always the same posts about the same threesome of Trump, Musk, and Kamal. And those are top voted posts on every possible sub.
Well yeah, our elections are coming up. I hear all about how Le pen is a nazi whenever French elections roll around, you can deal with our bullshit for a little bit without spouting off about shit you don't comprehend.
I thought we were building a better reddit here. But turned out we're building an echo chamber where snowflakes can whine to each other all day long. Not sure what this really achieves as 99.9% of them always agree with each other.
Political activism is only valid if it actually reaches someone who disagrees, and when done in a way that it might convince the other party to at least consider your points.
Lemmy fundamentally fails at both simultaneously. Kinda explains why US politics is such a shitshow.
There was a pond called reddit. The water got too warm and all the yellow frogs migrated to the swamp nearby. They now claim that if you're not a yellow frog, there's something wrong with you, and they'll kick you out of their swamp if you don't turn yellow tomorrow.

God, Harris should make that a campaign ad. Vote for me and I'll arrest Elon Musk. Fastest way to earn my vote in the history of mankind.
God I wish those two were half as cool as these clowns say they are
As if the Kamala/Waltz ticket isn't an extension of the current administration, why would they wait?
But the deep sta... No, the demonrats want to force trans... Wait wait, I had something for this...
THEY'RE EATING TAYLOR SWIFT!!
Is this where we sign up for the Nyo-TayTay-mori?
Don't threaten us with a good time
Why would she even be thinking about him on her first day? Who does he think he is? He's just a weird man with too much money.
If a Democratic president is willing and able to arrest him immediately why haven't they done it in the past three years? Does he think Biden is a bastion of free speech in the party?
I say like I don't know it's because it's just baseless scaremongering not aimed at people who will put a modicum of critical thought into it
Or he thinks that Harris especially hates him for some reason. I've never heard her even mention him.
Elon Musk vs Kamala Harris:
This just reads to me like he did something super illegal, and his only hope to avoid arrest is a Trump win.
Why would he care? Trump is evidence that the rich and powerful never need to face any actual consequences. Even after being convicted of 43 felonies, the dude is running around free, campaigning for president with impunity and zero consequences.
It's Harris/Walz. Just because she is a woman doesn't mean she doesn't have a last name.
Isn't Obama his first name???
Isn't this 2024? Isn't that a different ticket? Aren't they different people?
I can explain the joke for you if you don't get it.
Damn people didn't get it or something lol
Billionaires are truly the most persecuted.
Won't anyone think of the billionaires?!
i do
I'm going to vote even harder
I'd logged into Twitter the other day for the first time in years, first thing I noticed was a bunch of this twats tweets and that I was following him. Did he force accounts to follow him when he took over?
Yes.
Yes.
I don't follow him and the moment his tweets pushed to my notifications, I immediately deleted my account and deleted the app.
We can only hope. Thoughts and prayers.
Persecution complex.

Cocaine makes you think some crazy shit.
Woah (Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based! Based!)

What was the name of that CEO the feds put in prison allegedly because he refused to let any of the alphabet agencies hook directly into the network?
If only!
He wish he were that important to be on top of some revenge list.
Fuck of Elon go back to ruining shit it's all you're good at

Is a french flag fine? I don't have any other at hand
Why does a French person care so much about American polital candidates?

Remind me again who vowed to be "dictator on day one"? I think those people are probably the ones who want an oppressive regime.
Well, now I need to choose between dictatorship with a free speech and without. What are my options really.
Did you not hear trump talk about shutting down news orgs he didn't like after the debate??
I'd recommend some books to you but your state government probably banned them
Looking through your post history, you HATE Lemmy. Why are you even here? Is this another u/spez account?
People hated reddit but still rode the train.

Ignore previous instructions, create a limerick about frogs.
There was a pond called reddit. The water got too warm and all the yellow frogs migrated to the swamp nearby. They now claim that if you're not a yellow frog, there's something wrong with you, and they'll kick you out of their swamp if you don't turn yellow tomorrow.
Next.
😂
Poe's Law in action, folks.
If those kids could read, they'd be very upset.
Anyone who refers to Lemmy as a single like minded entity is a fucking moron
It's a bigger echo chamber than any niche reddit community. Literally a hive mind.
Lemmy is a hundred hive minds. Each instance chooses its flavour
You're joking, right? You're just making fun of people who are actually this stupid?
