[Politics] Musk (real life Bond villain planning world domination) needs a thread.

[AstroSloth]

No I'm not spending 35 minutes watching a leftist hit piece, see my post above.

Because you're much more used to your echo chamber you clearly surround yourself with.

Your posts aren't full of any facts, just feelings.

Clearly Musk will be being briefed about any China plans then. Generally speaking - whatever Trump says is the opposite of the truth (even Dingo doesn't seem to challenge the statement that Trump is a compulsive liar).

Been sat here for five minutes trying to figure out a way to adequately explain how flabbergasted I am by this but the words just won't come.

He is changed it from a leftwing mass censorship platform to one for everyone apart from the left who flounced out. Zuckerberg has done similar with Facebook.

No, he actively promotes far right content and conspiracy theorist both by retweeting/commenting and by tweaking the algorithm to push them. Not only that but he pushes his own, often toxic, views to the masses.

His a quickly sample of a scroll through my FYP (by no means as bad as it can be but a selection of the kind of accounts I see every time I open the app)

This reminds me of a racist arsehole I had the misfortune to have as a colleague many years back, who argued he couldn’t possibly be racist because he had “f****d three different black women”.

I last saw him spreading xenophobic lies on Twitter, funnily enough.

@Crawley Dingo isn't in the business of actually answering questions - so good luck with that!

It appears you're correct as mine has been missed.

I believe Mr Dingle was suggesting that everybody used to love Elon but now we've turned against him because the MSM told us to

I'm not sure why he'd think that I used to love Musk, as I've always thought he was a weirdo. Now I just think he's a weirdo & a nut job.
I'm clearly being brainwashed by the small snippet I see on the lefty BBC news homepage.

 

[Crawley Dingo]

QED really.

You say things that are unevidenced by anything. Then when asked for information or explanation - trot out the above sort of thing.

You can look it up right?

I've wasted to much time on petty attacks, paywall/firewall blah blah blah. This is not a civil environment, I will not dance to your tune or anyone else's so the other 5 posts wont get a response. I'm of to read football threads.

Agreed - you should stop now.

I’m assuming you can evidence this statement?

But when I try to look up / find some evidence for your statements, I find nothing of substance to support them. Which is why we come back here to ask you to show what you are basing your statements on. That's the point.

If its true it isn't far right, the word you are looking for is facts.

So you are saying you dont know how to fact check?

Sigh.
Facebook ends censorship. 3 words.

Of course the Guardian calls it "Fact checking".

Ah, Drongo.

I think he is the only poster to put me on ignore before I put him on ignore.

Apparently he didn't like the fact that I said GB News is shit, and that Truss and Braverman are a f***ing disgrace, the pair of them.

It wasn't even as if I called him a grift-addicted troll with surprisingly thin skin, and a bit of an embarrassment to be perfectly honest.
I meant to call him (etc., etc.,) but forgot.
I was probably washing my hair

 

[maffew]

He developed Paypal.

He really didn't. He was feck all to do with it until a merger with Musks x.com before it was twitter, a couple of years after paypal was built. Certainly didn't develop it, the platform was built before by Confinity and some smart engineers.

You ought to fact check what you post tbh otherwise sound a bit like Trump, spouting waffle. It won't wash with most on here

I have fact checked this and found they reported it as “fact checking” because Zuckerberg called them “fact checkers” when he announced they were being laid off.

Here’s the video.

i dont think he was overtly political until a couple years ago, previously been largely sucking up to whoever's in power to get the grants they dole out.

You genuinely believe the shysters running those accounts post facts? Really? Like you actually believe that?

I'm just checking before I bother posting anything to counter any of their bogus claims and shite

 

[rogersix]

Why should I bother?
