First someone came and and accused Musk of helping to rig elections on Turkey by suppressing one of the candidates on Twitter.
Musk got mad at him and called him stupid. He said he had to suppress one candidate as was requested by Turkish Gov or else they would turn off all of Twitter.
He basically admits to rigging the election and uses the excuse that they would shut off Twitter in Turkey if he didn’t participate. It’s still wrong either way.
Later he comes back saying all social media sites are doing it because “they have to” but Twitter is the only one being transparent about it. The only reason he’s being transparent is because someone just exposed him.
Musk is deep state. The starlink satellites he runs is a mega spy program to spy on us. The brain chip he made is for mind control. The electric stuff he is pushing for more more control. His mom has all kinds of cult pics. He dressed up as Baphomet for Halloween and occasional throws up the devil horns signs. He’s also a billionaire. No billionaire is a good person.
callin his bullshit since day 1...
hes a trickster of the worse kind...

The account was banned a few days later.
That's all you need to know about Elon Musk.
Typical. Words and actions are totally opposite.
OH NOOOO ELON BROS HOW COULD HE HECKIN DO THIS???
But he smoked a joint with Joe Rogan.
Joe Rogan has lots of pics making devil hand signs too.
If you are famous or running any big corp today, you are deep state.
Yeah Donald Trump gleefully enabled the covid lockdowns.
It's a complete bullshit.
When in Russia Telegram was banned, Durov (Telegram owner and creator) just updated app to use proxies and VPNs. So, Telegram continued to work without any significant problems and even gained more popularity not only in Russia, but in many other countries too. Today, Telegram in Russia is not banned and I think it is even more popular than Whatsapp or Viber or whatever, among all that crappy centralized survellance shit.
Musk could do the same without any problems at all, since he have much more resources than Durov had. And gain some more users on that.
All that centralized messengers/social networks/etc use their userbase as a source of profit for owners. From selling data collected from user smartphones, to taking enormous loans using userbase as a pledge. Twitter is no different from Telegram or other messengers/social in the way userbase is monetized.
So Musk is just lying about real reasons behind that decision.
Musk is controlled opp is all. We are the White Hats.
I don't care about Musk, he is not the first and not the last in a long line of all that oligarchs. Brin&Page also declared "do not be evil" and everything, f.e., but all of them come to the same.
I'm more interested in what is really behind his actions, than about his lies. If you know how they controlled by their masters, you know how to defeat them.
I think Musk isn't lying about his reasons. He wants to make Twitter the everything app so it has to be legit to tie into bank accounts and such - it can't go underground like Telegram in your example.
Telegram didn't go underground it ignored local laws assisting users to circumvent them and hugely enlarged its userbase.
Size of userbase is the only thing that matters for profit in case of "everything app" too.
If Musk really "wants to make Twitter the everything app", then he have to enlarge its userbase, and by abiding local laws like European or Turkish or whatever he hugely shrink it.
Bank accounts and such have nothing to do with "everything app". Musk already played with Dogecoin and perfectly know that he don't need to be legit anywhere outside USA to creale working financial system for his "everything app" that will be resistant to any local regulations and so will attract even more users and even tunnel noticeable part of money traffic from local instutions to his "everything app".
Durov was not able to start his TON payment project only because US SEC didn't allow him to do that and he account US as his base jusrisdiction. He didn't give any fuck about legality in any other jurisdiction where Telegram is working (i.e. all other jusrisdictions, even those where Telegram is officially banned) at all.
Turkey authorities and legislators have nothing to do with Twitter jurisdiction, so absolutely nothing from that side could be a reason for Musk to refuse to add more users in Turkey.
So censoring political stuff at Turkey request is not about anything connected with "everything app" at all. It just could not be. More likely it was an order from his handlers.
It's a net lose-lose either way. He either is a disruptor and being all coy about it. Or if he is being legit then this is just par for the course because of how large Twitter is and how big corp and big government are so crucial for the business or the brand image that he has to kowtow to their "requests".
In the end someone above Elon somewhere is calling the shots no matter what. Be it a handler or a separate, corrupt figure
Sounds like malicious compliance. What would be your move in his place?
Don’t comply to Turkey. Call their bluff and if they shut off Twitter, fuck em.
This is the only right answer.
I'm glad I'm not a soldier under your command. Another frontal assault? The last 316 attempts all failed with extreme casualties.
No one dies from not reading Stephen King's tweets
He’s just another puppet. People actually think this one guy is running twitter, spacex, and Tesla?! He’s just a front man for the globalists.
44 billion to buy twitter. Yeah right.
Musk is a fraud
Twitter sucks.
People are brainwashed to believe they NEED twitter for their marketing/advertising/distribution of information. You don't have to take the easy route. People see all the retweets and views and become addicted even when they know most of it is fake, bots scanning all tweets, etc. Not legitimate organic views and attention.
They want the attention because attention is like currency. That's why you PAY attention. Your attention is like money. Be careful who you pay it to. Do not PAY your attention to twitter.
Thanks Bill
I worked at a multinational consulting firm and there was a managing director who wore bad hairpiece with the hairline starting at his eyebrows. It was excruciatingly difficult not to stare at that hairline during small talk. It turns out you can judge a book by its cover.
"Satellites"
Lol.
How about, you get rid of all political and press from twitter.
Ban any press, except citizens, ban all government unless acting as civilians.
Keeping all advertising.
Twitter solved. Government and Press can get their own platform.
If they were specifically excluded from Twitter. There wouldn't be bullshit.
As it is not it will continue to be their platform wielded specifically for their own ends. It will always be an outlet of dystopia driving agenda.
The big control grid is from Geneva, start from there.
Ban all form of government and press outlet.
Unless citizen coverage of live streams that are legal.
Individuals can post if they aren't acting in a position of government or press.
Finally there might be a platform without the constant bullshit of dystopia.
At what point did they seize it, is the only question asked. At no point does a successful platform need them on it.
Keeping all other advertising outside of it.
It's actually quite ironic. Why does a free speech platform need government on it. Why does a free press platform need press on it. Sadly they have completely turned it into something else. Both never needed to be there. They had their own media regardless.
You have to deal with the funding and the Gendvam bullshit first.
Yes but funding is corporate advertisers. Government provided a tax break. It charging to advertise business.
There is no reason why it needed to host government. No reason it needed to host Press either.
Although it might get taxed.
It turned into bullshit the more government and press used it. No sooner did it become dystopia.
They really didn't need an outlet on it. They have their own coverage. Because they're broadcasting on it, no sooner did it manipulate the people discussing their bullshit. Let's face it, there's only bullshit when those two are involved. Until now it's full of bots and stupid narratives and pointless laws suppressing any form of dissent. All because it's their platform when it hosted them. It never needed to be outside of a tax break.
Until you have to ask what Twitter even provides and thinks too. It for the most part is another pointless media operation from government and current events where people flick shit at a wall and it polices them.
Federal Reserve controls government.
Yes and no and yes. But outside of this why did they need to be hosted on a free speech platform. Ironically it is only to curtail speech. Solution exclude them off it. Same as the journos and the press manipulating a bunch of dumb narratives.
Yes naively, it doesn't work like this. A shame indeed. It will only be a tool of dystopia.
