How biased is X nowadays, just curious, or is the owner expressing his free speech the bias here?


So you're conceding that the owner of Twitter is biased politically towards Trump and that is perfectly fine, while the rationale for him taking over was that Twitter was biased politically.

Are you still at a point where you care about consistency or is it full-blown Trump cultism?

So you prefer censoring free speech?

He ignores that literally every other social media company is explicitly pro Democrat and often bought for political reasons e.g. Washington post

Remember that these people are evil and are the enemy, negotiation is foolish and futile

This is detached from reality. Facebook and Twitter show right-wing accounts much more than left-wing accounts.

I'm not talking about who uses the companies, I'm talking about who owns and runs the companies, who dictates their censorship policy. Right wing accounts outnumber leftists 10:1 so you expect to see more. Yet left wing accounts that no one interacts with are still artificially boosted. And Twitter doesn't exist anymore

He is expressing his free speech, which he's perfectly fine to do, just like plenty of other tech billionaires have done for dems in the past. What would be wrong if he used his position as CEO to censor leftists on Twitter, do you have any evidence for the latter?

If you want your own weirdness represented you can go to Elon Musk. Otherwise I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I'm cool with Elon Musk using his platform to influence politics, but one of his reasons for taking over the company was that it shouldn't be used for that sort of thing. And dopes like yourself applauded that. So I guess I'm offended most not because Elon is a hack, but because you are.

Yeah I like X, if you want to be alongside your weird people you can go to Reddit. Those people are ultra weird, creepy and downright repulsive
