Musk buys Twitter

That too!
What could possibly be there that is more interesting than here?

Twitter and Facebook ditched moderation a while back, largely due to complaints that it was biased against conservatives as they were moderated more.

Community notes indicate Republicans are much more likely to promote misinformation

That just proves that academics are leftists and should have all their funding ripped away.[/red]

I can’t believe that she was there for a bit over 2 years, it feels like yesterday that she was hired to pretend that Musk wasn’t crazy. Not clear why she’s stepping down, but grok going full nazi should be enough to push anyone out.

It’s really hard for me to accept that there is any line that didn’t get crossed well well well before now, but maybe it looks different from the inside.

Maybe her 401k vested and she is cashing out.

Yeah, maybe a giant golden parachute for staying two years.

Reddit >.> is also reporting that she was sexually harassed by nazi grok shortly before her retirement, so that’s another possibility anyway.

i saw something posted somewhere that was, well, pretty awful. i had assumed it was grok-created after she left but either way, ugly

Tesla’s board has approved the award of 96mn shares worth about $30bn to Elon Musk as part of a new pay deal after the billionaire chief executive threatened to leave the electric vehicle maker if he is not given more stock. https://on.ft.com/3U7LfNc

This guy crashed the company’s sales with his political rhetoric in recent months. You would think the board would have been happy to call his bluff if they were independent.

Yep. I wonder how much of every Tesla sold goes to pay Elon.

It is stock, so only if the price goes up. I heard that it was to replace the $53B deal that is being challenged and if Musk wins that one, this one goes away.

It costs a lot to fund political candidates in the US.

Elon Musk wasn’t satisfied enough with signal boosting himself and content he likes on Twitter. He’s apparently getting rid of likes, replies, and reposts that have affected how users see information in their feeds. Apparently mecha hitler will now determine what you see.


That’s fun.

If it detects you have leftist curiosities, rather than guide you toward content like what you like, it can guide you toward subtle alt-right programming that has aspects you also like.

horseshoe theory in action!
