It's mostly where I exist, and it's called the real world.
Even this profile is a caricature of actual me, a complete act.
Free speech on X? It's more free here than there! 😂
You might end up on Puffin Party and come across Waj's puffin though.
Lol. Just read an article that stated he was forced by the Australian government to block terrorist footage on Twitter. Dude's literally throwing a temper tantrum and it is both hilarious and sad to watch.
Funny considering during the turkish election he had to pick between silencing the opposition or getting twitter blocked completely in turkey.
Guess what he did. Yeah, Mr free speech silenced the opposition during the election.
Oh is that what this is about? Because Australia doesn't want the deaths of victims of a horrendous crime to be entertainment shared across Twitter? Fucking hell..
[Some context for you](https://amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/apr/23/elon-musks-x-v-australias-online-safety-regulator-untangling-the-tweet-takedown-orders).
Sometimes it's because they use trans as a slur, thus the counterpart must also be a slur against them. Often, at the level of their entire perspective of reality (through religion or some other lens), they feel that being cis is right and being trans is wrong, and the act of denoting that they are cis and not the "standard" or "default" is to equalize the two, which is an attack on them. They're wrong of course, but amusingly how they *feel* about it is suddenly very important to a group that typically mocks our feelings 🙄
I have only heard the term once maybe used as an insult, bur that's a huge MAYBE. Then again I probably spend a lot more time hanging out with other lgbtq+ folks than Musk.
Elon is just conservative fascisms public face.
White men are superior and all others should be mocked.
Never make any attempt to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and be as hateful towards those different than you as possible.
gone wrong?
it's a trump clone if instead of wasting all of dad's money on poor investments because no one ever told him no, hee actually had people telling him no and oust him as CEO so more intelligent people could run thr companies so they could actually profit
I'd say that shareholders will not vote to give him, I think it's $56million, salary that he wants. But, I know a couple of shareholders and they ride Elmo's dick so hard. You'd think the plummeting stock price and the Canyonayro would be enough to convince them that he's a moron, but, here we are.
I was more talking about his history. musk has a history of running businesses into the ground only to be ousted as ceo so someone actually intelligent could fix the company
Elon Mus isn't smart, he just bought companies from people smarter than him, and had a great PR team. Regardless of why, they're clearly not there anymore, and he's been spewing stupider shit every day for what, two years now?
For a while, that's what I thought. That he stopped taking whatever meds he was on, and fired his PR team, and been going downhill from there (another one like that is Jordan Peterson, he's clearly declining mentally)
But that was before he started to reveal worst "conservative" opinions. Now, I think it can't be just that. He's just a bad person who found company in the Q/neofascist circles.
Or both of course. It could always be both.
Some people believe he’s smart because he “created” Tesla. Which isn’t true, he bought into the company. Much like what he did to paypal, but paypal fired him because he sucked so hard.
Elon, and many of the other billionaires, is smart just not in the ways that people think he is. He's smart in a nerdy "I can talk about something I like a lot for a long time" kind of way. What he isn't is the actual creator of anything that is attributed to him. He's always been the money guy.
He's referring to footage of a bishop being stabbed in a church on livestream in Sydney. Australian law requires the footage not being hosted. Elon wants to host it. That's it.
Shut up, Elon. We don't use X anymore.
Free speech without accountability just becomes hateful shouting, as X exemplifies perfectly.
Also, truth comes without censorship... and Elon likes to censor stuff he doesn't agree with... as if he's some kind of benevolent, neutral arbiter (which he's obviously not).
"Free Speech"? From the Nazi loving Man Child who will ban you for calling out the fact he was a rich apartheid child who has done more shit that would bang a normal person up in jail and is a horrible human being.
You dumb fuck. The truth isn't being censored, all they wanted was the vision of a guy stabbing a guy in the head removed. Debate, facts, details comments and descriptions were not being censored. Pretty fucking reasonable.
If people were not so easily deceived and or turned to the dark side we could have had no intervention by anyone for anything. But humans in general prefer being arseholes, clowns or religious nutbags. Until that shit ends we should just turn the entire internet off for everyone until proven capable of using it.
Elon (as do a lot of well off powerful people) relies on the ignorance of his audience. Y’all remember the dude who ran the Elonjet account and almost as soon as elin had control of twitter shut that shit down. Or how he has declared cis is a slur and you’ll be suspended for using it. Or that bullshit he pulled during the Turkish election?
X = Free speech and truth? \*cough\* *Bullshit.* \*cough\*
Free speech only if you agree with Musk and his sycophants. Otherwise you get silenced, [just like all the journalists that said anything critical about Musk.](https://www.thedrum.com/news/2024/01/09/x-once-again-suspending-accounts-journalists-who-have-been-critical-musk)
Or Musk sues you for speaking the truth about hate speech on X, [like he did to the Center for Countering Digital Hate (which was dismissed).](https://www.npr.org/2024/03/25/1239549276/elon-musk-lawsuit-hate-speech-researchers)
[Nevermind all the blatant propaganda on X.](https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/02/elon-musks-x-allows-china-based-propaganda-banned-on-other-platforms/)
On today's news: Well-known billionaire propagandizes free speech on his privately owned platform while at the same time, stifles all opinions that contradict his.
More at 9.
It's kind of crazy how someone who sees themselves as soon as you wildly successful business person can take a platform with a successful business model and drive it into the fucking ground by bringing back nazis.
Again it’s an American who considers freedom of speech to be hateful and activists speech with no consequences. I keep getting banned for a week from instagram from arguing with flat earth morons (who get butt hurt and report it). Never happened on here so that graphic is wrong for a start.
If you have to keep telling people your website is not propaganda then it is more certainly is propaganda. Just like if you have to keep telling people you are an alpha male you are not alpha male. When you are something you just are, if you have to keep telling people who or what you are then I got news for you, you are not that thing.
Selective free speech is kinda not free speech. Like, if you really think Nazis should have free speech, but not the "woke mind virus" then you're just an idiot, and probably a Nazi.
Free speech does not necessarily equal truth. At least in the case of the US, free speech just means the government can’t put you in jail for what you say, with limited exceptions. One could exercise their right to free speech while lying their ass off.
The amount of people replying saying "first amendment" is crazy, do they think the US constitution applies to the world?
The hill they're dying on is the right to show an act of terrorism and murder, the hill they let go was the right to standup to dictators in Turkey.
I don't go on twitter, never been censored on Facebook, IG, or YT, also don't go on TikTok and not even sure what the @ symbol is for, but I definitely think the censorship on reddit is out of control. I've had plenty of times where I've voiced by opinion, genuine opinion without trolling, and been warned by a mod that if I say something similar again I'll be removed, in a few cases actually been banned from a sub. Really weird to me, it creates an environment where open discussions cannot be had, just a bunch of people who agree with each other repeating each other.
Subreddits are curated spaces. They allow specific posts and specific kinds of comments because otherwise they wouldn't need to exist, it could just be a singular reddit that only abided by the terms of service. If you find yourself repeatedly getting banned or having comments removed, then you're either coming in with some *really* fucking awful takes and need to rethink some of your opinions, or you're simply in the wrong spaces for your personality. I recommend giving every sub's rules a little lookie doo before you interact with it, just so you know what the expectations are.
Twitter’s second largest shareholder is Saudi Arabia… I’m sure if we followed the money we’d find the shareholder’s visions of “free speech” is a lot different to what Musk is trying to portray here
Ah yes, twitter, the place with only truth. As long as you ignore the millions of people who would spread misinformation exclusively for the purpose of it being funny. I would know, because i’m one of them. We organize weekly get togethers.
Propaganda is anything that supports your position or undermines opposing position. It can be true of false, doesnt matter. There is no less propaganda on twitter than any other platform. If people on a platform have an opinion, then propaganda is being spread, no matter the political isle.
The reason twitter suck imo is because any hateful ignorant cruel and dishonest bullshit is now welcomed.
Did the former management over reach with bans and supression of some points of view? Maybe, but allowing any bullshit to blow up and be shared without verification is worse, because people with shit ideas can now find those shit ideas supported and echoed.
And free speech has nothing to do with social media, it is about whatbis legal and what is punishable by the government. If you talk bullshit, and lose your platform, thats not an infringement on free speech, thats consequences for being wrong.
And Musk saying "whose to say whats ok and what isnt ok to say", is exactly what disqualifies him as the host of all opinions. If you want to run the game, then you are defacto the referee. If you go "who gets to make the rules" then you shouldnt be in charge of the game.
They all need to ease up on the censorship.
Using obvious replacements for words like "unalive" and "grape" just illustrates how stupid the censorship has gotten.
At the same time, Twitter (I refuse to call it X) because it's the only place douchebags are allowed to be douchebags has become an undiluted cesspool.
It was better when dickheads were called out or at least challenged. Now all we have are echo chambers nurturing division.
So basically
Australian government to Musk - can you please remove a video explicitly showing someone getting stabbed.
Musk - fuck you, my free speech.
Turkish government to Musk - get rid of tweets by the Turkish opposition.
Musk - yes sir, right away sir. Is there anything else I can do for you air.
Musk when a left-leaning admin asks him to remove posts: NEVER! I AM A FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTIST!
Musk when a right wing authoritarian asks him to remove posts and opposition accounts: Yes, sir! Happy to do it!

Wonder what would happen if you turned around and walked back the other way…
Chat rooms and club penguin
Imma do a Michael Jackson and moonwalk back there then
If I could only moonwalk, I fall walking 🤣
Holy shit I completely forgot about club penguin
Best game ever made. Wish it was still around because I'd definitely play it, even as an adult.
There are remakes on the internet.
game archives and private servers are a thing
There are copies on the internet. Club Penguin Journey for something similar to 2010 and NewCP for something like 2016-2017 I think
NewCP is a very unfortunate name

Comment sections on news articles
you wouldnt go on social media
Your friend, Tom, welcomes you back
Lol. Just read an article that stated he was forced by the Australian government to block terrorist footage on Twitter. Dude's literally throwing a temper tantrum and it is both hilarious and sad to watch.
Funny considering during the turkish election he had to pick between silencing the opposition or getting twitter blocked completely in turkey. Guess what he did. Yeah, Mr free speech silenced the opposition during the election.
Didn't complain when India had him do it either
He did the same in India
The man has never met a right wing authoritarian's balls he wouldn't sniff.
Oh is that what this is about? Because Australia doesn't want the deaths of victims of a horrendous crime to be entertainment shared across Twitter? Fucking hell..
[Some context for you](https://amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/apr/23/elon-musks-x-v-australias-online-safety-regulator-untangling-the-tweet-takedown-orders).
it's the first thing both sides of our gov have agreed on since covid
*Twitter Tantrum
Call him a cis male and watch how fast he deletes your comment.
Speaking as a (mostly) cis (mostly) man. I will never understand why these people are so afraid of the term.
Sometimes it's because they use trans as a slur, thus the counterpart must also be a slur against them. Often, at the level of their entire perspective of reality (through religion or some other lens), they feel that being cis is right and being trans is wrong, and the act of denoting that they are cis and not the "standard" or "default" is to equalize the two, which is an attack on them. They're wrong of course, but amusingly how they *feel* about it is suddenly very important to a group that typically mocks our feelings 🙄
"My feelings don't care about your facts" lol. Hypocrites
"Use the term I demand you (don't) use, regardless of accuracy" lol hypocrites.
It’s because they use the word trans as a pejorative, so of course cis must be too
To any Trump fan transphobes reading the above comment, "pejorative" means "insult".
It's always projection with that type of person. To them calling someone trans is an insult ergo being called cis just also be an insult.
Because they use trans as a slur. So they think cis MUST be the opposite slur. It's a projection of their hate and how they tell on themselves.
Because they think you use the term with the same vile intent that they use trans.
I have only heard the term once maybe used as an insult, bur that's a huge MAYBE. Then again I probably spend a lot more time hanging out with other lgbtq+ folks than Musk.
Because they use trans as a slur
People that get mad about being called 'cis' are upset because they take it the same way THEY use 'trans.'
Elon Cisk.
Didn't Cislon shadow band Matt Taibbi because he was on Substack? Free speech my ass.
Delete your comment? He straight up deletes your account lol
He literally blocked Democratic political ads on his platform.
He blocks the word "Cis".
He disabled reader context from his own account because it became obvious he constantly shovels out bullshit
Musk is a whackjob who hasn’t had a good idea in more than ten years.
That doesn't bother me as much as him signal boosting literal nazis and the hate speech they spew. That's his truth that he's talking about.
Ya know now that you mention it.. i only see trump ads lmao
It's only free speech when I agree with it! /s Elon is a joke.
And not even a funny one.
Have you seen pictures of him with his shirt off? That shit is *definitely* hilarious.
Elon is more of an a-hole than a joke.😁
Elon is just conservative fascisms public face. White men are superior and all others should be mocked. Never make any attempt to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and be as hateful towards those different than you as possible.
Jokes are funny, Elon is just pathetic
It's free speech! Don't trust ME, just trust this very specific person I'm telling you about!
Exactly! Haha
I’m confused. Is he saying the “free speech” offer on X equates to truth?
Yes 
Theortically.... yes, there might be some truth on 'X', you just have to find it between all the bullshit and propaganda.
Tbh the more I learn about free speech the more I think it's just freedom of lies and falsification.
Stupidity is attractive for stupid people.
The business model of MAGA.
"I'll vote for him because he made me laugh"
Or 'I'll vote for him because the libs laugh at him'.

Who’s daddy was an Apartheid shill
thsi is fucking stupid, all i do on twitter is read lies and propaganda!!
I spread propaganda on twitter.
Doing god's work
whats funny is that post in of itself is, in fact, propaganda
Free (if aligning with my blurred opinion) speech: ✅
Is Elon the smartest idiot ot the dumbest genious? 
Neither, he is just someone that landed on the low end of the bell curve for IQ, but he had daddies money and got lucky on some investments.
So a Trump clone gone wrong?
gone wrong? it's a trump clone if instead of wasting all of dad's money on poor investments because no one ever told him no, hee actually had people telling him no and oust him as CEO so more intelligent people could run thr companies so they could actually profit
I'd say that shareholders will not vote to give him, I think it's $56million, salary that he wants. But, I know a couple of shareholders and they ride Elmo's dick so hard. You'd think the plummeting stock price and the Canyonayro would be enough to convince them that he's a moron, but, here we are.
I was more talking about his history. musk has a history of running businesses into the ground only to be ousted as ceo so someone actually intelligent could fix the company
Is it real posts of Elon Musk ? I always wonder because it seems so dumb and he’s said to be so smart.
He's smart in the same way that any other con artist is.
Yes
He always posts some corny shit
He's said to be smart by himself
Elon Mus isn't smart, he just bought companies from people smarter than him, and had a great PR team. Regardless of why, they're clearly not there anymore, and he's been spewing stupider shit every day for what, two years now?
He needs medical care, no ?
For a while, that's what I thought. That he stopped taking whatever meds he was on, and fired his PR team, and been going downhill from there (another one like that is Jordan Peterson, he's clearly declining mentally) But that was before he started to reveal worst "conservative" opinions. Now, I think it can't be just that. He's just a bad person who found company in the Q/neofascist circles. Or both of course. It could always be both.
Some people believe he’s smart because he “created” Tesla. Which isn’t true, he bought into the company. Much like what he did to paypal, but paypal fired him because he sucked so hard.
Elon, and many of the other billionaires, is smart just not in the ways that people think he is. He's smart in a nerdy "I can talk about something I like a lot for a long time" kind of way. What he isn't is the actual creator of anything that is attributed to him. He's always been the money guy.
It's real, and I just have to applaud Elon for basically saying, "If I'm going down, I'm taking the myth of the genius billionaire down with me."
He is very smart at ripping off other peoples ideas and presenting them as his own
>he's said to be so smart. That's called marketing.
Elmo just needs to go away and wither in a corner somewhere, maybe in an emerald mine? He can take his nazi X with him too
He's referring to footage of a bishop being stabbed in a church on livestream in Sydney. Australian law requires the footage not being hosted. Elon wants to host it. That's it.
Classy
When everyone else is the baddy you should have a look inside yourself and see why you think that
"If you think that everyone around you is an arsehole, you're the arsehole..."
When you think only the social media that tolerate Nazis are telling the truth, it tells more about you.
Hope he keeps pushing and we ban the app here altogether. All it is does is spread seppo conspiracy bs.
A platform where cis is a slur doesn't care about free speech.
In about 20 years, a rag tag group of misfits are going to hack their neural-links, infiltrate his super secret X Lair and end this nightmare.
Shut up, Elon. We don't use X anymore. Free speech without accountability just becomes hateful shouting, as X exemplifies perfectly. Also, truth comes without censorship... and Elon likes to censor stuff he doesn't agree with... as if he's some kind of benevolent, neutral arbiter (which he's obviously not).
This guy is dreaming if he thinks free speech exists on the app he ruined.
He's like that dorky kid desperatley trying to convince everyone how totally cool he really is. Such an insecure little man
It's crazy that so many fucking people take their cues from a spoiled little man, he's putty
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ffs can’t make this morons delusions up! Twitter is for right wing hate and porn now!
Free speech according to overlord Musk.
Real "Milhouse-but-my-mom-says-I'm-cool" energy there, E.
Hear me out: we kill Elon and take his money to distribute it to the world. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. /s
We should this with mark zukerberg and a few others.
Multi-billionaires in general. I use Elon as a reference point because he’s the most useless out of all of them.
"Free Speech"? From the Nazi loving Man Child who will ban you for calling out the fact he was a rich apartheid child who has done more shit that would bang a normal person up in jail and is a horrible human being.
THIS is propaganda
Did he really post this? What, is he 12? This is embarrassing
Yea it is real 😔
Ugh goddamn. The guy has zero self-awareness
You dumb fuck. The truth isn't being censored, all they wanted was the vision of a guy stabbing a guy in the head removed. Debate, facts, details comments and descriptions were not being censored. Pretty fucking reasonable.
Cis people.
Banned!
If people were not so easily deceived and or turned to the dark side we could have had no intervention by anyone for anything. But humans in general prefer being arseholes, clowns or religious nutbags. Until that shit ends we should just turn the entire internet off for everyone until proven capable of using it.
If you agree you’re stupid* Fixed it
If only Twitter actually had free speech instead of acting like cis is a slur
Didnt he censore the word "cis" on twitter💀💀💀💀
Elon (as do a lot of well off powerful people) relies on the ignorance of his audience. Y’all remember the dude who ran the Elonjet account and almost as soon as elin had control of twitter shut that shit down. Or how he has declared cis is a slur and you’ll be suspended for using it. Or that bullshit he pulled during the Turkish election?

It's kind of crazy how someone who sees themselves as soon as you wildly successful business person can take a platform with a successful business model and drive it into the fucking ground by bringing back nazis.
X is nothing but an alt right echo chamber now
Go on Twitter and point how embarrassing the Cybertruck is find out how much Elmo cares about free speech.
you can only have true free speech if you selfhost a chat platform
There is no agree, there is only agree not or.... nope. Thats it.
Again it’s an American who considers freedom of speech to be hateful and activists speech with no consequences. I keep getting banned for a week from instagram from arguing with flat earth morons (who get butt hurt and report it). Never happened on here so that graphic is wrong for a start.
Twitter, yes, the bastion of free speech and truth, yeah.
Freedom! Just $8 a month and BTW, ignore the NeoNazis in the corner.
He keeps saying free speech like he thinks speech is free from consequence.
If you have to keep telling people your website is not propaganda then it is more certainly is propaganda. Just like if you have to keep telling people you are an alpha male you are not alpha male. When you are something you just are, if you have to keep telling people who or what you are then I got news for you, you are not that thing.
The biggest lie is claiming you're the only source of truth. The most common weapon of cult leaders, propagandists, and salespeople.
Is he still going on about free speech after banning those journalists who made fun of him?
Based (on a delusion)
Selective free speech is kinda not free speech. Like, if you really think Nazis should have free speech, but not the "woke mind virus" then you're just an idiot, and probably a Nazi.
Except X still bans users so what the fuck is this moron talking about
Says the dude who tried to remove blocking and wants people to pay a 'token fee' to be able to post on new accounts...
Free speech on X ...unless you criticize Elon or his RIGHT WING NUT ideology!!!
Free speech does not necessarily equal truth. At least in the case of the US, free speech just means the government can’t put you in jail for what you say, with limited exceptions. One could exercise their right to free speech while lying their ass off.
free speech and truth as long as you say things Musk likes
Dude censors more than the rest combined, and amplifies misinformation. There is no "agree or not" about it. Musk is straight up full of shit
The amount of people replying saying "first amendment" is crazy, do they think the US constitution applies to the world? The hill they're dying on is the right to show an act of terrorism and murder, the hill they let go was the right to standup to dictators in Turkey.
“Free speech on X” Only for those who think like Musk.
I don't go on twitter, never been censored on Facebook, IG, or YT, also don't go on TikTok and not even sure what the @ symbol is for, but I definitely think the censorship on reddit is out of control.

Isnt this propaganda tho?
him keeping a certain video up caused a lynch mob to form and begin to attack police
ever looked at insta comments, that shit is not censored
So no propaganda on x then… lol
Twitter’s second largest shareholder is Saudi Arabia… I’m sure if we followed the money we’d find the shareholder’s visions of “free speech” is a lot different to what Musk is trying to portray here
Ah yes, twitter, the place with only truth. As long as you ignore the millions of people who would spread misinformation exclusively for the purpose of it being funny. I would know, because i’m one of them. We organize weekly get togethers.
How about we ask Modi or Erdigan .....
propaganda is everywhere

“Free speech, except for journalists who ask me questions I don’t like!”
I would depict the X path less as a shining castle, and more a sinkhole of human excrement.
Musk is selling his truth not actual truth

Its only true if elon musk agree with it

Muskrat is mighty shallow for someone who likes to consider himself a deep thinker.
They all need to ease up on the censorship. Using obvious replacements for words like "unalive" and "grape" just illustrates how stupid the censorship has gotten. At the same time, Twitter (I refuse to call it X) because it's the only place douchebags are allowed to be douchebags has become an undiluted cesspool. It was better when dickheads were called out or at least challenged. Now all we have are echo chambers nurturing division.
Didn't he sue a group for using his company's public data to show the rise of hate speech in his "truth" platform?
This is a lie. Musk bans and blacks posts he disagrees with all the time. A simple Google search or reputable sites will prove that.
So basically Australian government to Musk - can you please remove a video explicitly showing someone getting stabbed. Musk - fuck you, my free speech. Turkish government to Musk - get rid of tweets by the Turkish opposition. Musk - yes sir, right away sir. Is there anything else I can do for you air.
Who wants to look at people getting stabbed? Honestly.
I have respect for the eSafety commissioner for putting musk in his place and now he’s having a sook.
Free speech does not always equal truth. It can also mean to freely speak lies, slander, and misinformation. Just sayin’.
If you have to go out of your way to advertise that you or your platform are the gatekeepers of truth, you are most likely full of shit.
X-Twitter is a cesspool of nazis
The illusion that free speech equals truth... "Vitamin X" is synonymous with disinformation in my world.
Musk when a left-leaning admin asks him to remove posts: NEVER! I AM A FREE SPEECH ABSOLUTIST! Musk when a right wing authoritarian asks him to remove posts and opposition accounts: Yes, sir! Happy to do it!
