how is twitter is silencing anyone?

can people spout their point of view?

I see both sides every day.

in fact, in the FOR YOU side, i almost ONLY  see leftists...

still being promoted.

Often through lawsuits. But he has also bowed to governments like UAR, India and Turkey by censoring content so that they would not shut Twitter down in their countries. Also Tesla has had talks with both Turkey and India about building factories there.

[Scouts Honor]

ok i get that.

i was talking about here.

however, you dont mind factories being built in china? taiwan etc...

you guys really can't differentiate between Musk, the person,

and a company's policies and algorithms? 

I can.  He was able to confiscate the “America” handle because he owns the company.

He also has spoken on behalf of the company by agreeing with a post saying that Harris is going to ban X.

[Scouts Honor]

maybe that's something she would change about the last 4 years

Musk possibly facing a bigger threat from the EU. From Bloomberg:

The European Union has warned X that it may calculate fines against the social-media platform by including revenue from Elon Musk’s other businesses, including Space Exploration Technologies Corp. and Neuralink Corp., an approach that would significantly increase the potential penalties for violating content moderation rules.

 

"Under the EU’s Digital Services Act, the bloc can slap online platforms with fines of as much as 6% of their yearly global revenue for failing to tackle illegal content and disinformation or follow transparency rules. Regulators are considering whether sales from SpaceX, Neuralink, xAI and the Boring Company, in addition to revenue generated from the social network, should be included to determine potential fines against X, people familiar with the matter said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public."

Musk treats his companies like they are one, often sharing resources between them, now regulators may do the same.

My favorite Elon fact is that he admitted in court, under oath, that this was his twitter burner. A deeply, deeply pathetic individual.

Let me tell you, @Scouts Honor had the perfect response. No question about it. There has never been a better response. People are saying it's a very good response, a tremendous response. Some folks, they don't want to admit it, but they know. Everyone knows. Believe me, nobody responds like this. It's incredible.

Punishing Musk's entire business empire with heavy-handed fines to exert government control over speech is authoritarian overreach. The EU needs to back off.

Of Course, but will they?   Prolly not.

1. Piercing the corporate veil is a thing,

2. Especially when Musk does it so often himself.

The EU was not likely to do this if Musk had not set the precedence himself by, among other things, taking NVDA chips from Tesla and redirecting them to xAI, using Tesla engineers at Twitter, telling Tesla's board that unless they paid him more (i.e. replace the shares he sold to buy Twitter) he would start new projects at other companies (like he did with xAI), borrowing money from one company (SpaceX) to buy another company (Twitter), using cash from one business (SpaceX) to directly finance another business (SolarCity) by buying its equity, merging one failing company (SolarCity) into another (Tesla) to bail it out, and that is just from memory, I am probably missing some.

If the EU goes forward it will only be to follow Musk's footsteps.

The Ds sure do enjoy censoring views they don’t like.
