If Xitter is truly the "global town square" that they claim it is, how have they not been sued for election interference yet?

I remember when NPR was boring, cerebral old people stuff on the radio. Now it's extremist leftwing just because it stayed honest. Jesus
The worst fucking part is that NPR has reacted to this shit by over-correcting and becoming obviously right-leaning in their reporting on US news. It's a fucking joke. I guess all it takes to stop press from being "free" is a bunch of violent assholes willing to threaten to rape you family. Who would've thought.
I know, it's really really sad
All other media companies drove the Overton Window off a cliff
It's more like the actual regression and collapse of journalism and literacy but yeah
It's also leftwing because it's cerebral.
I‘m actually surprised how much of micro management this person is able to do.
He never sleeps.
Doing crack will do this, yes
its easy when you don't have any managing to do. the dude's effectively unemployed. truly a testament to the real value that CEOs add to the economy. zero, if not less.
Based on what's happened to Twitter's share price, definitely less.
i wanted to be fair to other CEOs who may not be the worst, and suffice with doing nothing.
Honestly I don't even know if I believe they are better than average, like fund managers guessing stocks. I bet if you took like 7 people who were retired from the industry (rotate them out every couple years) and had them vote on every decision a CEO would make, the company would be better off. And you could pay the whole group a fraction of what the CEO made.
It's probably super easy for him.
He was probably browsing and just has a button to do shit to posts he doesn't like.
Dumping Twitter wasn't even a slight wrench. It descended into the toilet pretty quickly after Musk took over. I occasionally sneak back to Reddit, although the experience isn't that great. But Twitter? Nopes from me even though I liked it previously very much.
Agreed completely, the fact that some continue to swim in that cess pool confuses me
That is effectively an editorial decision, which is really interesting for a social network.
Fuck you musk. Jackass lol.
Wasn't he complaining about X censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story? This isn't exactly the same, but it's along the same lines.
This isn't exactly the same because the Arlington incident actually happened and has some bearing on an ongoing political campaign as opposed to being pure speculation and misinformation.
