Elon Musk has gone full moron.

“Apple has mostly stopped advertising on Twitter. Do they hate free speech in America?” -Elon Musk.
He’s basically saying that companies that don’t advertise on his platform must not do so because they hate free speech. It takes a special kind of entitled stupidity to say something like that.

Musk looks oblivious to the fact that the changes he’s made are what’s at fault: eliminating authenticity of posters which caused advertisers to lose billions of dollars in market cap thanks to fake information; destroying the appeal of the platform by prioritizing the posts of people who give him money and inviting top voices for hate speech to the platform. How on earth can this Elon Musk be so fucking dense that he can’t see that clearly he’s at fault here? Twitter is no longer for free speech, it’s speech that will cost you a subscription fee of 100 Euros per year. A platform that doesn’t work all that well anymore, one that’s more vulnerable than ever to hackers and scammers.

No, people don’t hate free speech just because they don’t want to give Elon Musk money. Is there something about being rich that rots the brain into this level of profound stupidity? Or did he damage his own brain by hooking up his neuralink bullshit to it? He’s like one of those fat stupid French nobles from enlightenment era literature.

If Musk want to make Twitter like Gab where anything goes, they will definitely lose a lot of people.  People really do not want to view all that hateful crap on a daily basis, if it was true, then Gab would be above Twitter.  Either way, it will be interesting to see how Musk move forward with Twitter.  I rarely use the site but I am mostly interested in how he manages it then anything else.
