Never thought I’d see the day where he censored a bunch of white dudes but here we are.
He is not a free speech absolutist that’s for sure

I’ve heard Musk referred to as a piss baby moreso than other dickheads in the public eye.
Is there some story I’ve missed out on, or is it just a generic insult that’s somehow stuck to Musk more than it has to others?
It’s essentially saying he’s a whiny little bitch, it isn’t specific to him
I think it was adapted from the Greg Abbott rebrand: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/greg-abbott-is-a-little-piss-baby

Well his own speech is absolutely free. I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant.
He’ll also trample absolutely any rules necessary to support speech he happens to agree with.
His own speech cost 44 billion
Yeah how is this feller making sense of this in his own head? I can hardly believe I once thought this guy had love in his heart.
It’s obvious, he tried making sense for a long time and it just didn’t work out. He then chose and tailored an audience for the cost of Twitter so he could have an audience that logic does not apply to.
(Note he said that after the “free speech absolutist” claim.)
Well, then I’m going to start writing to my representatives to start passing laws to hold those who spout transphobia and speciesism accountable to the law.
Not to mention that one of the first things he did upon taking ownership of Twitter was to game the entire thing so his own tweets get the most attention on the site.
Honestly, I think that White Dudes for Harris should sue the platform for an illegal contribution to the Trump campaign. It is by definition a media platform and by denying the account they’ve clearly crossed a line.
He’s all about free speech he absolutely agrees with.
Of course not, he is after all a republikkklown
Just African-Canadian things
Haha underrated comment
They should join Mastodon to get away from Elon’s narcissism.
On the flip side, hopefully this news story pushes more people away from X
I can’t imagine anyone being pushed by anything if they weren’t pushed away until now
I think it’s the usual “it hasn’t impacted me personally, so how bad can it be” maintaining the status quo at all costs.
Once something happens that they care about, they’ll be on the Fediverse that day crowing loudly about how awful Xitter has suddenly become…
Mastodon lacks full-text search, which kills the main reason that Twitter appealed to me, the real-time-updated full-text index.
Mastodon added text search a while ago.
Elon Musk doesn’t have NPD. And accusing people of being disabled is not an epic burn. It’s only an insult if you think disabled people are worth less than neurotypicals. Sensible people don’t hate the disabled, so calling him a n*rcissist isn’t an insult.
Calling him neurotypical is a bigger insult. Because it implies that all of his weirdness is a choice.
in case it was unclear: accusing someone of narcissism as a personality trait isn’t the same as accusing them of a PD.
narcissism /när′sĭ-sĭz″əm/ noun
-
Excessive preoccupation with or admiration of oneself. synonym: conceit. Similar: conceit
-
A personality disorder characterized by self-preoccupation, need for admiration, lack of empathy, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem.
They said ‘his narcissism’ They made no diagnostic qualification.
Ie. Displaying narcissism and being a narcissist and having a narcissistic personality disorder are all different things with different definitions which can be applied in different ways.

You’re allowed to say narcissist lol
Calling him a narcissist isn’t really an insult either way. It’s just a fact about him. The dude only cares about himself.
Sure. Ignoring him and not recognizing his unmatched greatness and suffering is much more insulting
narcissism and NPD are not the same thing
Non-clinical narcissism is asexuality, and Elon isn’t asexual.
Weird statement
Non-clinical narcissism is asexuality, and Elon isn’t asexual.
Why do people always say weird shit like this when they’re defending Republicans?
I’m not defending Elon. I think he’s a hetero neurotypical privileged asshole. It’s you people who want to make up a narrative that he’s a vulnerable minority.
No you’re the one, in multiple threads now, trying to equate narcissism with NPD so you can use victim philosophy to protect narcissism as such, under the rubric that people with personality disorders are minorities like black people.
The density of lies your mind produces is off the charts. Meditate more jesus christ
Can we please keep calling it Twitter, just to piss off Elon?
this would be awesome for c/enoughmuskspam
I will forever victim-blame these folks.
They are an advocacy group, they go where their audience is. Of you are looking for white dudes what’s the point of looking for them in the fediverse, where 98% of them already agree with you?
Eh, if they were doing it on Mastodon nobody would see their campaigning. And of that tiny amount that do see them, they’d mostly be preaching to the choir.
For an average user you have a point, though.
As people have pointed out, they’re an advocacy group, and trying to reach less aware people. The fact that Elon banned em shows it was most likely working.
The ban lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes. Id guess it was triggered by so many people suddenly joining the account. Musk ain’t great but the hyper sensitivity around him is getting weird.
What a coincidence, a strong liberal fundraising account getting banned just as Musk promises to donate $45mil/month to the Trump campaign and complains about the “woke mind virus.” I’m sure you can point to similar conservative accounts getting banned and staying banned for several hours right?
The ban lasted 2 hours and 45 minutes.
You mean during the time that they were holding their fundraising event?
Except that no reason for the ban was given. If the ban was due to a sudden uptick in followers, why wasn’t that reason sent along with the ban? And then there is the timing which coincided with the fundraiser. All of this on top of Musk publicly declaring his endorsement of Trump and the promise of finding his campaign. Too many “coincidences” are a clear indication of intent.
