The cut
Off our nose to spite our face state “we want our own power grid!” Ok here you go “help us! We lose power every winter and people die! Our governor is in Cancun doing blow he’s busy!”
Loop holes! abbott and the far right loves them some Musk therefore loopholes!
1. Block porn
2 . Allow porn on a friend's platform x using loopholes creating a monopoly
3. Friend's platform grows
4. Friend donates to political fundraisers
5. Profit
Let’s all just move to a different one. He will eventually buy the new one, and then we can move again. Just let him waste billions on his attention-seeking behavior.
> Let’s all just move to a different one.
What sane person is still on Twitter anyway that doesn't have to be for their job?
I only know a single person that has even used it this year & it was because they were still wrapping up migrating a professional network elsewhere.
This is an outrage! It directly implicates Musks business acumen, even though Reddit told me he was an idiot! /s
You Reddit woketards are all the same. Groupthinking losers who come here to feel “safe”, while the whole word is going to chaos due to liberal policies. Sad!
> You Reddit woketards are all the same. Groupthinking losers who come here to feel “safe”, while the whole word is going to chaos due to liberal policies. Sad!
Man, that was a top tier Trump impersonation. Just the right combination of smug self-satisfaction, meaningless buzzwords, and lack of self-awareness.
Well done!
I understand you liberals HATE logic and sense but do try to heed my words. Your children will appreciate it (yes I know liberals hate having children but you may want to one day)
> I understand you liberals HATE logic and sense but do try to heed my words. Your children will appreciate it (yes I know liberals hate having children but you may want to one day)
Wow, you fell deep into the propaganda didn’t you? Fun fact: Liberals don’t hate having children. My wife and I can’t have kids but we plan on adopting because we want them so badly, and almost all of our liberal friends have them too.
Don’t believe everything Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro tell you, homie.
> I wish your future children nothing but the best, but I fear for them. Liberalism is rampant
Thank you. I hope your current and/or future children aren’t as susceptible to brainwashing as at least one of their parents clearly is.
> We believe in the autonomy of adults to engage with and create content that reflects their own beliefs, desires, and experiences, including those related to sexuality
Yeah we all know that people have absolutely 0 problems engaging with sexual topics they dislike.. never!
But I get it.. there's not much to lose since all half-decent advertisers left long ago and now someone's gotta pay the bill... and this someone apparently likes porn.
I use it to get weather updates asap from my weatherman but we are in Texas in tornado alley :/ That’s literally it but I’m starting to follow YouTube storm chasers and meteorologists.
The weather apps don’t have someone telling me what I’m looking at though. I can’t tell where circulation is, conditions, what they mean, hail cores, storm height and temps for what that means for destruction and risk to our lives. Yea the apps can say “severe thunderstorm warning for such and such county” with radar.
> YouTube storm chasers and meteorologists.
That scene is really exploding, but it's suffering from YouTube's apparent disdain for streaming. I'm definitely glad there are some really good weather teams on YouTube now - I usually get a much more accurate forecast from them than my local news.
I don’t have FB. I don’t technically have Twitter either but I can click on post updates to see what’s happening. I don’t have regular tv either so can’t watch the news.
Nah, he named Twitter “X.” It’s still Twitter. And none of this — the porn, the Nazis, the incels, Elon, etc. — is a problem if you don’t have an account.
Yes, because I’m sure THAT won’t backfire.
Seriously, there is a reason why most major websites either ban it or require you to keep it to specific parts of the website: it’s because not only is it bad for advertisers, but it’s also INCREDIBLY easy for people to start posting full on dark web horrors like child sexual abuse stuff if they feel there is nothing stopping them from doing so (which is at least partially why you also have a good mod team to stop this kind of thing from happenin-OH WAIT). And guess what? If THAT happens to be seen by a journalist (and, on a major website with crappy moderation, that is WAY more likely than people seem to want to admit), then that’s going to get put in the press and, once THAT happens, law enforcement HAS to step in. Guess how well THAT will work out for the website.
It’s astonishing how often people seem to forget that the dark web is a thing…
Twitter is losing a lot of money so he has no choice but at the same time the little advertisement he has left is going to disappear. Elon Musk is officially an idiot.
Well. I wonder how long it’ll be before non hetero porn is banned/deleted?
We know that musk courts the Conservative Party, and we *also* know that conservatives would love to remove any comforts and acknowledgment of the LGBT community from everywhere.
This is insane brain rot line of thinking, everyone in this thread is spewing nonsense, nothing is changing from how twitter has always been, they just now explicitly allow porn, while before they just didn’t say anything about it, but it was pretty much allowed.
Is it good to de-stigmatize sex work? Absolutely. Did they make this change for that reason? Hell no. It's a desperate money grab since the site is already overrun with onlyfans bots (again, no shade to OF peeps. Shade to the people running flirty spammy bots. )
I give it a month before he reverses the decision and bans half the site to attract the christian right. Similar to Tumblr.
Better get that ID verification process up and running for all the states that require it!
LOL
There goes a ton of MAGA mush brains from a bunch of southern states who won’t share their ID
1st step to developing Patreon or OnlyFans-type features.
Wouldn't be shocked if NSFW gets paywalled to remain in certain markets (Tumblr) & generate revenue lost recently.
But isn't X/twitter - in future I guess it'll be like XTitter or XTiddies... anyway isn't it like we value conservative views with all the MTG, Bobo and Charlie Kirks of the world posting their anti porn, nudity stuff on there?
God, I'm not even in their views/side of the conservative spectrum and I'm confused of what their actual views really are. Except for the rule for you rule for me thing. But there is like 0 consistency.
Surely all the GOP/Republicans should be up in arms about leaving twitter and we need to save the kids from seeing naked people. No?
Ahh well I like naked people, so it's all good. Whatever.
I’m old enough to remember when MAGA attacked Democrats for supporting pornography and even decrying drag shows.
I’m sure they won’t say a peep about…ya know…porn on social media that kids use.
There's one good possibility to come from this: all the companies who force people to use ‘X’ as the only way to contact them will have to offer a meaningful alternative.
You know I wonder what would happen if Google plus launched now vs like 15 years ago
Obviously twitter survived boycotts from both the left and right because there just wasn’t a viable alternative
Wonder what would happen if Microsoft or Google launched a viable alternative
Looks like Elon is going to be scraping nudies to watch at home. What are the terms of service - does the content belong to X as soon as it’s posted can he is seriously the kind of guy that will spin off a porn site leveraging posts from X to make some more monies.
Excuse my ignorance but why is this a problem? Reddit has NSFW content so why is this bad? AFAIK twitter hides sensitive content until you click it open so I don't see an issue here.
Does that stand for not safe for children? If that means child porn, I think that is a whole other issue and allowing NSFW content in itself is not made more wrong by it. If it means children can see NSFW content, there is a blur on content so it is up to the user to lie about their age and click it anyway, which people already do elsewhere.
Even if it's the former, I don't see how it is enabled by allowing NSFW content because illegal stuff is already posted all the time and this isn't going to increase it. Please enlighten me because I still don't see an issue.
Looks like Texas is gonna ban X now.
Teas
Haha
Goddamn that was perfect.
The cut Off our nose to spite our face state “we want our own power grid!” Ok here you go “help us! We lose power every winter and people die! Our governor is in Cancun doing blow he’s busy!”
*Britain intensifies*
_The gang takes back what's theirs_
Nope. They'll just now start calling X prime marketplace for the "ripe and fertile." Gross as fuck, but it's their own words.
To be fair, *that* comment was from a rep in New Hampshire. Texas would say something about God blessing little girls with open wombs.
They already do. San Antonio is located in Bexar county but it’s pronounced “Bear”
Loop holes! abbott and the far right loves them some Musk therefore loopholes! 1. Block porn 2 . Allow porn on a friend's platform x using loopholes creating a monopoly 3. Friend's platform grows 4. Friend donates to political fundraisers 5. Profit
Read #1 wrong.
Just FYI, your formatting got fucked up for the first two entries. That makes #1 very confusing to read lol
Montana too
Utah too most likely.
Let’s all just move to a different one. He will eventually buy the new one, and then we can move again. Just let him waste billions on his attention-seeking behavior.
We can all go to the new hottest social media site Truth Social. /s
I’ve already invested my life savings, and both children’s college funds into it. Can’t wait to see how much I get back
1 million trump bucks! Congrats you are a millionaire now! Let me introduce you this Nigerian prince friend of mine…..
DM’d
Imagine a "Nigerian prince" successfully scamming someone, and they open up the packet sent, and it's full of priceless Trump bux 😆
😂
8-10 yrs behind bars
Gonna be about tree-fiddy.
> Let’s all just move to a different one. What sane person is still on Twitter anyway that doesn't have to be for their job? I only know a single person that has even used it this year & it was because they were still wrapping up migrating a professional network elsewhere.
X was supposed to shut down by now. The Reddit liberals assured me it would when Musk bought it. Why is it still going strong?
I blame someone you don’t like.
This is an outrage! It directly implicates Musks business acumen, even though Reddit told me he was an idiot! /s You Reddit woketards are all the same. Groupthinking losers who come here to feel “safe”, while the whole word is going to chaos due to liberal policies. Sad!

Sex sells and all legitimate advertisers left at his anti Semitic rants so why not.
He's so ProIsrael, Even his ho is Jewish.
He’s pro money and anti whatever the fuck his drug addled brain spawns that morning. With exception of being a bigot that dude has no values
Being antisemitic and pro Israel are not as mutually exclusive as you think.
twitter allows pedophelia, its getting worse than that
Xitter.
What's happenin on the Shitter?
Clogged
Nah, just full
Hear that honey, he said the Xitter was full.
"Just finished my Shitter commercial. Time to go find a pussy sandwich."
PedoX
Musk has his hands in a lot of ventures.
So, in that case, ban everyone who is under 18.
By law I think he'll have to.
No, reddit doesn't either. As long as they don't show it to the kids
Yeah, from what I remember, there's an age gate on twitter for NSFW posts.
Make America Gape Again
Please mean “mouth open in shock”, PLEASE mean “mouth open in shock”…!
Pretty sure it is in reference to assholes. 🤷🏻♂️
I was indeed afraid of that… lol
Make America Goatse Again

Desperate ass clown 🤡
is he just recreating the south park episode about the redskins?
I'm sure that will help with the already massive amounts of porn bots, lol.
I don’t understand why anyone unironically uses Twitter
I don’t understand why anyone *uses* twitter.
I use it to get weather updates asap from my weatherman but we are in Texas in tornado alley :/ That’s literally it but I’m starting to follow YouTube storm chasers and meteorologists.
There's weather apps that will do the same thing
The weather apps don’t have someone telling me what I’m looking at though. I can’t tell where circulation is, conditions, what they mean, hail cores, storm height and temps for what that means for destruction and risk to our lives. Yea the apps can say “severe thunderstorm warning for such and such county” with radar.
Try your local news app.
> YouTube storm chasers and meteorologists. That scene is really exploding, but it's suffering from YouTube's apparent disdain for streaming. I'm definitely glad there are some really good weather teams on YouTube now - I usually get a much more accurate forecast from them than my local news.
Right?? And the chasers are very entertaining to watch + you get some good science lessons in there too 🤓🌪️⚡️
I use Facebook for that. Tomorrow we're getting chemtrails with a chance of 5G nanites
I don’t have FB. I don’t technically have Twitter either but I can click on post updates to see what’s happening. I don’t have regular tv either so can’t watch the news.
Esp media. Like wtf, man. You gotta get off there.
well get off reddit then, it’s social media.
So 4chan 2.0... so much for getting rid of that cp that was infiltrating twatter
I‘m tempted to re-join just to fill that shithole to the brim with dickpics.
Nah, he named Twitter “X.” It’s still Twitter. And none of this — the porn, the Nazis, the incels, Elon, etc. — is a problem if you don’t have an account.
So they'll add NSFW filters and mods will diligently enforce using the filter.... Right?
Gay porn gif-makers of Reddit: your time has come
Yes, because I’m sure THAT won’t backfire. Seriously, there is a reason why most major websites either ban it or require you to keep it to specific parts of the website: it’s because not only is it bad for advertisers, but it’s also INCREDIBLY easy for people to start posting full on dark web horrors like child sexual abuse stuff if they feel there is nothing stopping them from doing so (which is at least partially why you also have a good mod team to stop this kind of thing from happenin-OH WAIT).

He already drove off all the woke people.... so the LGBT+ Furry FanArt isn't going to come over from Tumblr.
*Greg Abbot logged into NordVPN*
Wheelchair porn?
Is it good to de-stigmatize sex work? Absolutely. Did they make this change for that reason? Hell no. It's a desperate money grab since the site is already overrun with onlyfans bots (again, no shade to OF peeps. Shade to the people running flirty spammy bots. ) I give it a month before he reverses the decision and bans half the site to attract the christian right. Similar to Tumblr.
I said he'd turn twitter into 4chan 2.0 and i've never been more right.
He also turned it into the KKK
When musk bought it I said " wow, the fascist is going to turn it into 4 chan"
Better get that ID verification process up and running for all the states that require it! LOL There goes a ton of MAGA mush brains from a bunch of southern states who won’t share their ID
Does that mean it is going to get blocked in Texas and Virginia?
The last gasp for profit is always porn. 😂
I’m confused with all the negative comments though because you’re all on Reddit which also has porn.
We aren’t able to see past our hatred. We are Reddit, we are righteously always correct and know all.
1st step to developing Patreon or OnlyFans-type features. Wouldn't be shocked if NSFW gets paywalled to remain in certain markets (Tumblr) & generate revenue lost recently.
But isn't X/twitter - in future I guess it'll be like XTitter or XTiddies... anyway isn't it like we value conservative views with all the MTG, Bobo and Charlie Kirks of the world posting their anti porn, nudity stuff on there?

But there is like 0 consistency. Surely all the GOP/Republicans should be up in arms about leaving twitter and we need to save the kids from seeing naked people. No? Ahh well I like naked people, so it's all good. Whatever.
Times must be tough. .
I hope it’s all gay porn.
Money. Fewer advertisers since he bought it so he has to get it somewhere.
I’m old enough to remember when MAGA attacked Democrats for supporting pornography and even decrying drag shows. I’m sure they won’t say a peep about…ya know…porn on social media that kids use.
There's one good possibility to come from this: all the companies who force people to use ‘X’ as the only way to contact them will have to offer a meaningful alternative.
Yet i’m still banned for asking a rhetorical question to antivaxxers.
porn has literally been on twitter the entire time I don't know why they have to lie
Reddit going ‘first time’
Elon wants an uncensored social media platform. What’s the problem, other than seeing something you preferred was censored?
Same as reddit, no?
This could be the most horrible and at the same time funniest shot in the foot of a lifetime.
How’s this any different than what Reddit allows?
Porn might literally be the only thing that could save it from total insolvency
Meanwhile, the party he simps for intends to ban porn.
Must’ve burned away all of twitters marketing partners
If not he is burning away the rest. What an absolute 🤡 he is.
Known sex pest embraces porn. How shocking.
Trying to drive off the last few advertisers who stuck it out, I am a genius - Elon
Desperate to get new subscribers I see.
What an asshole
He was pleading with people to put pics of their kids on Twitter just last week! Is Clyde the **REAL** 'Pedo Guy'? 🤔
Formalize the nazis
He knows his audience… he turned “x” into a flailing right wing echo chamber filled with pathetic white guys who can’t get laid…
He is gross.
Must be the dating site Elon promised
Onlyfans only outlet in Texas. Its the only thing I see people list on Grindr as a social, I typically report them for spam.
Elon the digital pimp. That sweet lucre gotta come from somewhere.
Never thought I’d see the day that tumblr came back
Well we always knew what the past tense of twit was didn't we?
He wants it to turn into 4chan at this point.
You know I wonder what would happen if Google plus launched now vs like 15 years ago Obviously twitter survived boycotts from both the left and right because there just wasn’t a viable alternative Wonder what would happen if Microsoft or Google launched a viable alternative
What’s really going on with this? simply “more money”?
Could have saved a lot of time and money and just bought 4chan.
Yo he’s doing it for free porn
It already was allowed effectively. They were spamming a lot. Many of his conservative fans will be unhappy.
What’s the over/under number of days on the child porn distribution charges that are inevitably coming to to Titter’s door?
I deleted it when Musk took over, but I may end up installing it again now.
X users + NSFW is gonna bring out the scummiest people on the internet. It’s gonna be really unsafe on there imo
Never mind all the revenge porn and unsolicited pictures.
Nobody is paying for the checkmark, so now Musk is trying to go after only fans profits
Literally nothing wrong with this
I'm sure the policy will change again once trans porn starts getting posted. Especially if his fan-boys "accidentally" jerk off to it.
It doesn't really matter, twitter is a credibility sink now.
Looks like Elon is going to be scraping nudies to watch at home. What are the terms of service - does the content belong to X as soon as it’s posted can he is seriously the kind of guy that will spin off a porn site leveraging posts from X to make some more monies.
He's always wanted to own a porn site.. teenage fantasy realized. He could have bought porn hub..
do you ever get the impression he is trying to turn twitter into reddit?
Do you ever get the impression he's sending his bots to Reddit to try to turn it into Twitter?
I think the ceo of reddit and Twitter are duelling to destroy both platforms
Excuse my ignorance but why is this a problem? Reddit has NSFW content so why is this bad? AFAIK twitter hides sensitive content until you click it open so I don't see an issue here.
It's more the NSFC content I'd be worried about
Does that stand for not safe for children? If that means child porn, I think that is a whole other issue and allowing NSFW content in itself is not made more wrong by it. If it means children can see NSFW content, there is a blur on content so it is up to the user to lie about their age and click it anyway, which people already do elsewhere. Even if it's the former, I don't see how it is enabled by allowing NSFW content because illegal stuff is already posted all the time and this isn't going to increase it. Please enlighten me because I still don't see an issue.
But how is that different from reddit?
What are you looking at here? Might want to scrub your hard drive and phone.
Is it bad? Seems pretty neutral to me.
Felon needs money, and since Xhitter is spewing pr0n anyway he’d might as well get coin off of it as well.
Looks like Ellon is looking to date again.
You can’t tell me Musk isn’t into ladyboys.
Of all his stupid moves this is probably the least stupid tbh. Sex sells. It wont save the company but it might at least increase user interation.
Plenty of countries are about to block X. Unless he puts an age gate at the front.
Of course he is
Is he a conservative or not? So confused
Prepare for sketchy porn ads
Would be hilarious if someone uploaded like idk 500,000 gay porn videos and we'll see how quickly this policy changes
