Didn't Musk himself post stills from a Batman movie as PROOF of an armed Islamic revolution in Birmingham hospitals?
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Politics] Musk (real life Bond villain planning world domination) needs a thread.

He did post fake images, but they weren't from a Batman film
I know how to fact-check thanks. But the thing is - when I try and fact-check or verify the stuff you say, I cannot find much, if anything. Look at recently when I asked you for evidence of the fraud Musk has found. You eventually provided a link that listed mainly 'Musk is a Fraud' articles and didn't back up your statement at all.So you are saying you dont know how to fact check?
Sigh.
Facebook ends censorship. 3 words.
Why did Mark Zuckerberg end Facebook and Instagram’s factchecking program?

Of course the Guardian calls it "Fact checking".
You said Musk developed Paypal - I fact-checked that and find that he didn't really. @maffew put it quite neatly just above.
And therefore we have to come back to you for your obscure random links and 'evidence'.

He claimed that the fact X has complied with more censorship requests than Twitter ever did is irrelevant when it comes to free speech because it is mainly in countries like Turkiye.
Which makes no sense, surely a true free speech platform would ESPECIALLY want to keep free speech for those in less democratic nations, rather than complying.
Also never commented about the fact the prefix "cis" is restricted on X, simply because Elon is a man baby who doesn't like being called a cis-male (which is an accurate description).

Fella. It’s time to shit or get off the pot. If you can’t back your claims with evidence when challenged you’re trolling.

There has been various examples given, total amounts like upcoming arrests etc are in the pipeline. Be patient, Trumps been in office 2 months and already Elon has gutted one agency already and has been in a few others.
All the non fraudulent spending has been re-instated and moved.

Nope I have already stated that if I'm getting 4 responses to my every post I make I'm not backing them all up with links only to have snide remarks about the source while ignoring the evidence. etc. Nobody else is held to that standard so on your bike.
Oh and if you are looking for an excuse to kick me out of this thread have the decency to post it so people don't keep pointlessly tagging me.

The point is that he knew they were fake but still posted them.
similarly you post crap/lies even even when you know it’s bollocks.

I'm just reading through this thread, and I'm sure that just a few posts back, you claimed that you were going to leave this thread and share your wisdom on the football threads.
Given you're so interested in facts, maybe you could share the fact of you posting on a football thread. Because we could all post multiple facts of you sharing your wisdom on this thread immediately after claiming that you were leaving this thread to post on some football threads.

I said I was going to check out threads, don't try acting smart it doesn't suit you. Found what I was looking for, the Korean player we may sign.
You’ve claimed you’re leaving the thread. You haven’t.
You’ve made assertions without backing them up repeatedly.
And you’ve told a mod to get on their bike.
So you can have a break for trolling. Don’t bother tagging Crawley Dingo for a month, fellow users.
Trouble is - you still haven't provided actual examples of fraud. And most of Musk's claims have been challenged in one way or another.

But fact checkers didn't censor content.
They provided context about claims in posts.
It would seem you once again don't know how something works, and are mad about it.
