The whole "I want you to be forced to listen to me but i can cancel everything i dont want to hear" thing from Right Wingers gets so boring.

How do they even argue that Advertisers leaving Twitter is awful, but Cancelling Bud Light for sending one Can of beer to a transperson 10 months ago is okay?
Like, how is the irony of this not causing their body to shut down?

 

[Teelie]

Their cognitive dissonance and ability to ignore reality and facts are unparalleled in the universe.

The pain tolerance of the Tesla and Twitter shareholders are something else.
I would already call for Musks head if i would have a stake in any of these companies, seeing as Musk keeps attacking all the big companies, caters more and more to not just the right wing...but right wing extremists.

Like, i really dont see having faith in any of these companies at this point...you would need a miracle to turn this around.

 

[Sithborg]

There are no Twitter shareholders. Its owned by Musk.

 

[Mani-Man]

That would certainly be a better explenation, because i can not imagine anybody who has any stock or so in Twitter, being happy with Musk.

 

[Sithborg]

Killing Twitter was exactly the goal of all those that help him finance the deal.

I'm still surprised the shambling corpse of Twitter hasn't finally quit twitching and moaning for brains despite all the hell it's gone through lately.

How is a company withholding ad money from nazi sympathizers extortion?

Meanwhile right wingers are saying they'll boycott companies who withhold ad revenue. Um, isn't this much closer to extortion?

Logic does not apply to them.

[Mani-Man]

The possibly funniest thing in the Musk Twitter chapter so far and a perfect example of right wing ideology.
You need to restrict access for it to be able to exist and spread.
The moment you give anything enough freedom, it will not choose right wing ideology.

It will in the end say what these people want it to say, Musk will restrict the Program enough...but until then its as funny as it gets.

 

[Sithborg]

Wow. Elon Musk's companies are so incompetent, that the easiest thing in AI, letting it become racist et all, they fail at.

 

[Mani-Man]

Is it easy to create a Racist AI?
Like, on all accounts an AI that searches the internet etc will conclude that Racism etc kind of sucks.
You need to limit it incredible to have it be racist on a level these people want it to be i would assume.
