The woke company Netflix did a documentary on his trial already? Dang lol what’s it called?

By the way Alex Jones and his company already declared bankruptcy and are paying these “damages”. They avoided being shut down entirely because they didn’t have a trillion dollars. They didn’t have a billion dollars. They had a few million. They painted Alex Jones as someone who “got rich” off of “selling conspiracies” specifically the “Sandy Hook shooting”. They made it seem to the public and these victims families that he got all his wealth from his comments on Sandy Hook.

They went from asking for over a trillion dollars to now a few million.

Now that he’s back on X he can talk about what really happened to a wider public audience and let people make their own opinion.

Elon Musk taking back his “child death denier” comment he made about Jones after doing his own research says a lot about how this conversation has changed or his personal view on the matter.

Oh man, please don't keep claiming I think things I've never said. That would decimate my argument if you did that. Nooooo

It does because these were two of the "incidents"/"fabrications they used to try and destroy/slander Alex Jones in that trial. These were two of the main statements they used to try and "paint" Alex Jones as the "mastermind" behind all these "personal attacks" the families endured.

I didn't expect you to know that because your opinion was literally given to you by MSM and then regurgitated into this thread. You spit out the same garbage some of my more liberal friends said regarding this case. It's pathetic really.

It's funny how Elon Musk took back his "insult"/"reasoning" behind why he wasn't reinstated as soon as he acquired Twitter and was on a podcast with him, Tucker Carlson, and a few others pretty much the day/day after he was reinstated. Why? Because Elon Musk is willing to admit he was wrong and that he allowed "other people" to paint a picture of who Alex Jones was....

So Elon Musk took back his "child death denier" comment on Alex Jones because he was WRONG about him and he saw how the court RESTRICTED his free speech. He saw the same "machine" now attacking him as the same "machine" attacking Alex Jones. Funny how that works right? But I'm sure your opinion of Alex Jones is more on target then Elon Musk

I was just reading this article: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/canadian-brands-advertising-x-extremism-1.7055823

Among other things, the article said, "When buying ads from X, advertisers can request they not appear alongside certain forms of content. But without systems in place to monitor and categorize content accurately, there are few assurances that an advertiser's wishes are respected".

And because of the above, I believe that Musk is at fault for not upholding what he promised to these ad-buying brands on his platform, and that he is the one to be blamed for their mass exodus. He acts like these brands are "blackmailing him" with ad money, which I now realize is completely false. Nobody owes him advertising money, and nobody threatened him with anything. Companies have the right to request where their ads appear, they are the ones spending money. X failed to honor their requests despite what was agreed to by X. This is entirely Musk's fault, no one else's.

That said, I do believe the situation is still salvageable. If I were Musk, I would first apologize for my outburst earlier in a summit meeting (where he told advertisers to go fuck themselves). Then, I will invite the bigwig execs to a meeting, and assure them that I will re-work the platform's algorithm so that their ads will appear precisely where they want them to, and nowhere else. Which is only reasonable, if you want to make money off of people, you have to respect their wishes. And then, I will mention that if they still won't come back to X, no problem, I respect their decision, however, I will give a huge boost to their competitors who still remain on my site. Maybe give them special discounts or display their ads more prominently, or improve their interaction with the users, whatever. I would bring this up casually, speak softly, but I will quietly let them know that leaving X does not serve their interests.

Anyway, enough daydreaming. I have read that Musk is considering creating a paid membership tier to increase the revenue for X. I don't know how much this could potentially bring in, however, if it's enough to service the debt he incurred to buy the platform, plus a little bit extra left over to grow the platform, I see it as a totally viable solution. I feel that X shouldn't strictly focus on making a profit; instead it should be used as a "global town square" where regular people can gather and have frank conversations with one another. Musk said that's his vision and if he's being sincere, then the loss of ad revenue is really not a huge setback. Yes it's annoying, but it won't kill X.

Mr. Musk, we believe you when you say you want to uphold freedom of speech, and that free speech is more important than making money. Don't let us down.

Elon was pretty dumb to retweet and agree with a blatantly antisemitic tweet, he just gave a ton of ammunition to his persecutors

Elon musk apparently believes that he himself has single handedly done more to help the environment than any other human in history because his company has sold so many electric cars? I knew he was autistic but didn’t realize he was a narcissistic idiot as well.

All he needs to say is, “There’s no one with more respect for the environment than me”

I mean… if you copy something it means you really like it right?
