Kind: Reposts

Do not do this! It’s not funny or some kind of gag. It’s bad and toxic and dangerous. https://t.co/KUYvbg5HKZ

i will say this, definitely — i am not giving these fucking idiot pricks my money, on general principle. i think eventually a social network that requires a small subscription is going to be necessary, but i will be damned if i give it to king shitpost and the taint remora.

The base eats this up. DeSantis and others hope the base is looking for Trump Lite, for Trump With Polish, for Trump With a Smile, for Trump with a Pedigree.

No—the base wants THIS. And the GOP can’t suddenly condemn this now because they long ago weakly chose to accept it. https://t.co/6fKu1tCrcZ

Really, the mass impersonation of Musk by verified accounts was a magnificent satirical art project that achieved its purpose: demonstrating Musk's hypocrisy, the impossibility of speech absolutism, *and* the utter foolishness of the Twitter Blue revamp.

And people were worried that Elon Musk would secretly use twitter to help Republicans, here he is just doing it publicly, I hope everyone feels silly about being concerned.

He's tanking the site, he's drowning in debt, he's a huge fucking baby, and he reads his mentions.

Republicans will do to democracy what Elon did to Twitter. https://t.co/ynwyzV4W75

feels like this stuff is a useful brown m&m indicator for advertisers. do you have faith that the guy posting about nazi pigeons and making masturbation jokes will work towards creating a low-risk place for you to advertise in?

no? shocking. https://t.co/Ju7dHLzjsX

Just come out as Republican already. This "I'm a moderate but constantly reply-guy maga accounts" is getting tiresome.

MTG hasn’t moved a bit since she was stripped of her committees. The Republican Party came to her. https://t.co/8QtagdZWrj

To recap: @elonmusk shared a homophobic conspiracy theory about the beating of the Democratic House Speaker's husband. Now he's using this site to call for putting Republicans back in office this soon after Jan. 6. But I'm supposed to believe this is just about free speech.

Turns out firing half your staff has consequences. Newspaper's Twitter account hacked and they can't reach anyone at Twitter. https://t.co/0i1UrHFdMn

Look, free country, he owns the company, he can do and say what he wants, he can endorse whoever he wants. And I’m fine with all that. But what’s funny is thinking about how the right would be freaking out if prior Twitter ownership had openly encouraged users to vote Democrat. https://t.co/B9wkJ6ez2X

Sitting here trying to imagine what kind of unrelenting non-stop shitshow would erupt if Zuckerberg advised people on Facebook to vote for either party https://t.co/US1LYG1EeQ

if you are being asked to come back after being fired, weaponize that shit against them immediately. You have so much power over the company in this case. You want me to come back? That'll be a 20% raise, and a 10% annual bonus. https://t.co/qfQXWkv59Y

Elon banning accounts for impersonating him is pretty funny. Elon handing over DMs to governments who want to kindap and torture activists will be a lot less funny. I'm tweeting through it too but ... we need a plan y'all

My technology brother in cyberspace, nobody is saying that what Twitter is doing violates the First Amendment or First Amendment principles.

They are simply pointing out that your claim that "impersonation is not protected by the First Amendment" is...terribly wrong.

Free speech does not mean freedom from consequences. People taking their speech—and their money—elsewhere is, well, the exercise of free speech. What you're talking about, Mr. Musk, is pure entitlement. https://t.co/RQAwhR23HX
