[Mike809]

as in the consequences of it , and the spread of fake news.

 

[Voice of Reason]

Yep sooner or later he will introduce the racism realism iq science stuff into the government

 

[newarkhiphop]

infinite money is a bytch, I remember dude said it jokingly his first time on Rogan that maybe he should just buy Twitter

I was like no way he can just do that, like 18 months later he did

Between controlling the largest national news network in the country (Fox), the majority of local news networks (Sinclair), one of the largest social media platforms (Twitter), and the education system in most states, Republicans had the misinformation game on lock this election cycle. It's easy to see how propaganda worked so well in Germany.

This was something that was talked about early on after purchasing it when he started unbanning folks. It was going to be the sounding board for whatever people thought.

Now he is working directly with a Presidential administration and a metric ton of people didn't smell anything strange with it. We got checkmated.

I knew this was coming eventually. Trump made sure to capitalize on it

Fake news was prominent on there way before Elon bought it. They have years old studies showing the amount of bots and how many people are essentially shouting into a void.

If anything, I think the biggest detrimental was how quickly it accelerated the death of that platform; it's a great source of news, real time info, etc, along with all the nonsense but it's never been as a popular as Facebook or as ubiquitous as insta, and tik-tok/Snapchat basically took the younger demo.

It's why bluesky has actually been seen as the first new directly viable competitor for social media since Facebook

 

[Kasgoinjail]

He's like a temu Rupert Murdoch smh

 

[AngryBaby]

Yeah at some point jack horsey should've had some principles and stood against what Elon was trying to do. When you're already rich it's like...dude how much you need that you're willing to let humanity take a nose dive with your platform.

I couldn't do that if I was already rich

 

[Burned Verses]

A lot of y’all said it was ‘just the internet’ though.

 

[Micky Mikey]

The disinformation on Elon's Twitter is going to kick into overdrive once Trump is sworn in. Prepare for a flood of anti-black Nazi type propaganda. And propaganda pitting communities against each other. This is what fascism does. There will be a constant air of instability and fear largely propagated on platforms like Twitter. These white supremacists want all non-white people in this country to live in a constant state of fear and uncertainty.

Find a community of like minded people that ground you ASAP. Update your passports. Arm yourself. Do what you need to protect you and your family.
