I'm so down to calling him Kiko from here on out.
Thanks to Brazil for making this possible!
It's in my head, it's done.
Reply to his every tweet with that.

- Brazil asked Elon to ban 7 fascist accounts spreading disinformation
- Elon refused pretending it was a free speech issue even though he complied multiple times with similar requests from right wing govts
Gotta say, this is new information to me. I’ve briefly looked at the stories and the banning of twitter, but I never realized this was entirely because Elon wouldn’t ban accounts as he does for right wing government.
Elon seems like a kinda shitty guy.
Elon seems like a kinda shitty guy
Hot take!
I mean it genuinely is because of the "kinda" and "seems"
"Elon is a shitty guy" is one of the coldest takes out there at this point

But remember kids, he's some sort of business and tech genius!
The real life inspiration for super genius Cave Johnson from Portal.
Yeah, but Cave Johnson was a compelling and interesting individual.

He wants Twix to be Truth Social, but also profitable, and doesn't understand why he can't have it both ways.
Back in late 2022 I was in an argument with my (adult) nephew about how the government isn't limiting free speech on Twitter. I was explaining how "the free market" is deciding whether Elon will sink or swim. He just could not understand how the government -wasn't- responsible.
....idfk
(Yes, there were some Governmental take down requests, but none of them seemed very sus to me)
I had a similar discussion with some people at a barber shop back when Pre-Elon Twitter banned Trump. They were complaining about free speech and I asked if they knew what it actually meant (in the US). When I explained that we are ONLY guaranteed free speech from the gov't, and that Twitter was a private business and could ban whoever they want, the same way this barber shop could tell someone not to ever come back everyone got real quiet like "oh shit I have to rethink my whole world view". I actually got thanked at another time by one employee for telling them how it actually works.
That's dope. It's rare to get through to people like that.

He acts literally like a fucking toddler.
Perhaps even a toddler in a tantrum.
Now that's just kind of rude toward toddlers. He acts like what he is... a Ketamine addled, narcissistic billionaire, who got lucky in life and thinks he crafted his own destiny all by his own hands.

Sounds like another Fan of The Art of the Deal
Sounds like another fucking narcissist.
That's what they said :P

Twitter is now removing the block function next. It ought to bleed users like crazy.
Wait, what?
X/Twitter will soon be making more changes to the block button, with CEO Elon Musk confirming that all public posts will be viewable going forward, even to those who have been blocked

Why, oh, why, Bluesky and not Mastodon
Because Mastodon needs a reliable instance with a catchy domain name. Maybe even the slightest bit of advertising.
Someone reputable could make a real Twitter competitor for about $2m a year these days.
I'd say Mozilla, but they just took all their social media funding away and threw it at AI. Genius.

Mastodon has serious UX problems that even other federated networks don't have. I'm pretty well tech literate and love Lemmy, for instance, but I just couldn't ever get Mastodon to stick for me, like it just didn't have the right feel and wasn't fun to use. And if it's not working for me then it's never going to take off with a more general audience.
Bluesky is a lot better. It still has some issues that I feel keep it from fully replacing Twitter, especially Twitter before Elon screwed it up. But it does manage to keep me checking it, even though it's probably only once or twice a week max.
Cause all the Linux people, FOSS people, and communists are already here.
I think one of the biggest reasons is that the Fediverse is often a pain to get into and sometimes a pain to use.
Bluesky and Threads "just work."
Some people say it's marketing and in Threads' case I can believe it, but I haven't seen any example of large marketing campaign by Bluesky.

uuh, new users for the fediverse. looking forward to y'all ;-)
Because he is a bitch.
This is a hint at why he wanted involvement in PayPal and wants X to be a financial service. You can't take away money from a system he controls.

Elon should have received additional fines for his taunts and threats, honestly.
