Elon Musk - and his big ego

I am assuming you are referring to Elon Musk getting rid of the block function on Twitter/X. However, Apple and Google have policies that social media apps on their app stores must have a block function.

I am referring to that & yep Apple and Google do have that policy/rule requiring block function so can't see this latest stupid idea from Elon ever happening

Elon Musk's Shaddow.Rule: Ronan Farrow says Elon Muak has Ukraine and US Governmemt at gunpoint

You know those movies where you see corporations having more power than governments, controlling everything behind the scenes, well, America.
A man with a god complex that the American government rely on, well that goes one of two ways, it works or it goes very, very wrong.

Bond villain levels here, but not nearly as entertaining.

Sorry to post this on multiple threads. He really is a dangerous liability of a man.

Musk said in his tweet explaining his actions that if he had agreed to the Ukrainians request then it would of made SpaceX complicit in a major act of war & conflict escalation.

Agree with it or not its not an entirely unreasonable position to take, the problem is that the power to make than kind of decision which has great consequences for Ukraine & its people should not be in the hands of a single private individual

Yet another example of how dangerous Elon Musk is.

Rolling Stone: Verified accounts on Musk's X spread 74% of Israel-Hamas war misinformation

Musk is allowing Carlson to interview Putin on X apparently. The EU may go after him for it, he needs brought down a peg or seven.

I'd not be arsed if X got binned off in Europe provided the Tories understood that we need to as well, it's a cesspit, much worse than it was, and it was a hole when it was supposedly being run by adults that were adhering to some rules.

^Yes. let's ban Twitter and join a rather exclusive club that includes Russia, North Korea and China....Any ban would be laughably easy to get around with with a VPN anyway, unless like Russia (as of March 1st) you want to completely ban those too.

The best thing about Musk buying Twitter is that it's shown him up for what he is and not the Billionaire Playboy Philanthropist / Pound Shop Tony Stark that his groupies tried to portray him as. Also, while there is untold shite on the site I follow a lot of Ukrainian accounts on there and frequently know what's going on before the UK Media bothers to tell us, assuming they bother at all as they've moved on to the latest thing.

So the simple solution is don't watch Lord HawHawski interview the beady eyed little cunt from St Petersburg and let the MAGA loons salivate over it. Hopefully it will become evidence for the Prosecution at some point in the not too distant future.


And yes, I still do call it Twitter as I completely refuse to use the name Musk has given it.
