Fair enough. Its an opinion of a polarizing person, so of course people will have varying views.
I think his twitter purchase was largely impulsive as well as many claims and decisions he has made over the last few years. I have always viewed him as a dbag. So currently, he is an impulsive dbag.
Its OK that you view him as a savior to whatever cause you are upset about right now, or that you view him as a mad genius who will go down in history as a peer to Ben Franklin, George Washington Carver, and Thomas Edison.
I've been told that slow moving objects are much harder to detect/distinguish. Jets fly at high speed so easy to distinguish between them and recreational hot air balloons, flocks of birds, etc. Spy balloons drifting in the air currents - not so much.
Unfortunately The Truth can at times be polarizing to those who prefer censorship. Those emails between the FBI & Twitter are real and without a doubt prove government interference into the free speech rights we should all cherish but unfortunately a too high a number these days would just soon abolish the 1A as much as the 2A. IMO, Musk is the greatest philantropist in World History cuz he's smart enough to have known how much money he was gonna lose by exposing The Deep State.
Ahh, you are joining the rest of us conspirators! Welcome!
The left is really upset that Musk has opened their closet of propaganda and exposed them. Just think of Hillary's sour puss when Congress questioned her about Bengazi. That's the way they all look with what Musk has exposed. He's screwing with their grand plan.
Yes I am sure all those who invested in his companies and have lost gobs of money due to his seemingly random behavior, comments, and over-leveraging are appreciative of his 'philanthropic' behavior.
I bet all those Twitter employees he fired, especially the ones that were needed to have prevented fires from happening, are also happy he 'philantropized' their jobs away. Im not too sure if all those who footed money for Musk to purchase Twitter are happy with the concept that Musk is a philanthropist due to pissing away their money so far.
As a general rule, I dislike the FBI strongarming any private organization into releasing data. That doesnt mean I should think Musk is a great philanthropist. Musk was going to be sued and lose, if he didnt go thru with the Twitter purchase. You know, the purchase he made on a whim because...well I really dont know why. Maybe thats just what you do when you have that much money.
All this is really quite an aside though. It started because I made a flippant comment about Musk being behind this since it takes the heat off him in the news and allows his product to be used a bunch by journalists and conspiracy goobs. It was a joke by me and I think I made that clear. It should be left at that, but for some reason paindonthurt felt it necessary to incorrectly claim I think Musk is right wing. I have no idea what wing Musk is. Honestly, I think he is whichever wing will get him what he wants in the moment. Now here we are, with you claiming Musk is the world's greatest philanthropist as a defense of me calling him a dbag.
This 17ing place never ceases to amaze.
Will you fill me in on this? I genuinely have 0 idea what was exposed and only just now googled about the FBI trying to interfere with getting info from Twitter.
What has Musk exposed? I havent read that Musk exposed anything, but I also dont actively search for crap like that.
Will this all be tied to an infamous laptop? I am guessing it will.
Freedom
He canned the board of Directors and cleared out half the staff at Twitter. He reinstated accounts of real people and killed a bunch of bot like accounts that were pro Biden: Fake Accounts

I dont post on Twitter, but have an account and read it when I select a link. That usually leads to 5-10min of me looking at other stuff already there.
I still have to scroll past a bunch of advertisements.
I still read insane comparisons and takes from people on the left.
I still read insane comparisons and takes from people on the right.
I am told the right's voice has been amplified. In practice, it never felt muted since I was well aware of all the common claims/outrage issues without even searching for them. But cool- they are no longer muted. In practice, I still havent actually felt like there is a different Twitter now. Again- I still see crazy crap claimed by people who I would label as both left and right leaning.
I guess its a better product for others now? If so, good deal. Its a private company and can improve if it wants. I would question if some of what is now allowed on there is an improvement, but again thats opinion and its OK for us to have different opinions.
Speaking of all this- once again, Twitter is not a free speech platform. It never was and it isnt currently. 'Exposing' how Twitter handled issues 2 years ago is just a company airing its dirty laundry. Twitter is allowed to have TOS, is allowed to change its TOS, and is allowed to interpret and make decisions using its TOS as it sees fit. Thats true for 10 years ago, true for 2 years ago, and true now.
I say this because it seems like you dont have a firm understanding of this and you seem to think Twitter has been nefarious and illegally silencing voices.
Twitter. Truth Social. Mastadon. Parler. Hive Social. Cohost. Tumblr. Instagram.
People can post their crap elsewhere if they dislike Twitter's TOS or how it handles decision making.
I figure NORAD recalibrated it’s system to detect smaller objects after realizing that ordinary civilians saw that first balloon a week ago.
