Only 293,333 days until the remaining 10% of Twitter’s value is spent on fines. Or, 1 year if they have 804 violations at once. We can do this! We can end the nightmare.
California: “Please tell us if you allow nazis or not. We just want you to be transparent.”
Elon: “California is trying to pressure me into banning nazis! If I disclose I’m cool with nazis, people will be mad and they’ll want me to stop. Also, a lot of hate watch groups say I’m letting nazis run free on X, and I’m suing them for defamation for saying that, but if I have to publicly disclose my pro-nazi content moderation policies I’m going to lose those lawsuits and likely have to pay attorneys fees! Not cool California, not cool at all.”
Wild that in 2023 we still have to discuss this nonsense. Nazis are always wrong. It’s so easy not to be a Nazi. It’s so much extra work to be a bigoted ignoramus than to just… not be that.
California could pressure companies “to remove, demonetize, or deprioritize constitutionally protected speech that the state deems undesirable or harmful.”
Ah yes, demonetizing speech is also now an infringement on free speech. Or hindering it’s priority (aka visibility on social media). Man first we have been coming for their guns for at least my whole adult life and now we are also going for their free speech! All these constitutional rights being taken away golly conservatives sure have it hard. :'(
Edit: fuck sorry! forgot southern politicians have been doing that for years to keep their populace uneducated, re-educated, and on boarded to their show.
Haemorrhaging money quite quickly. No need to change tact, just keep going Elon. I’m watching with fingers crossed that your staff find work elsewhere, soon.

Let me summarize the core of the argument.
California: “You know what - we’re banning Nazis and Naziism.”
Elon: “This will lead to murdering kittens.”
It’s not even that.
California: “Please tell us if you allow nazis or not. We just want you to be transparent.”
Elon: “California is trying to pressure me into banning nazis! If I disclose I’m cool with nazis, people will be mad and they’ll want me to stop. Also, a lot of hate watch groups say I’m letting nazis run free on X, and I’m suing them for defamation for saying that, but if I have to publicly disclose my pro-nazi content moderation policies I’m going to lose those lawsuits and likely have to pay attorneys fees!

This who can do. Those who cannot teach. Those who cannot even become Nazis.

I mean maybe we should start?

Elon isn’t even a Proud Boy. He’s an Ashamed Boy.
Dude you used all the wrong letters to spell “complete tool”.
