German anti-racism body leaves X over ‘rise in hate speech’::A German agency that tackles discrimination and racism says it is quitting the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. It cited a rise in hate speech since owner Elon Musk took over last year.
Doesn’t Germany have the strongest anti-racism laws in the world since the end of Nazi Germany? And also the country accepting the most immigrants during the refugee crisis (and among the top counting per capita I think)?
I visited Germany recently, and I did notice more racism than I’ve seen at home. There were some distant relatives of mine, who I’ve never met before, casually making racist jokes to each other, without attempting to hide it.
I honestly don’t get Elon’s obsession with X. First it was his thing with x.com and PayPal, then it was SpaceX, then he called his son X, then Twitter…
Have you seen his Tweets? He’s definitely got a 10-year-old mentality. He changed his screen name to ‘Harry Bolz’ for a while. That’s the level of ‘humor’ he’s at.

You know you fucked up when Germany chastises you for racism.
You may know, but does he know? :-)

That’s Pakistan if I remember correctly.
All the rich countries are far away.
Wow. You are really not
very smartsmart at all, are you?I’m amazed that the EU or Germany still haven’t blocked Twitter for that matter.
Only a matter of time…

No wonder his wife became his X wife.
I think he believes that ‘X’ is ‘the unknown’ and that makes it cool and mysterious.
still not out of puberty, it seems.

I just read them. He thinks those “jokes” are funny or something. His comments just suck overall, glad that Twitter is dying.

Also keep calling twitter, X is a dumb name
