First off, I have no issues with Elon releasing what he calls "The Twitter Files" what I have issue with is how poorly it was presented, how slow it was Tweeted, but more importantly, how it was weak, partisan and, to be honest, brought nothing new to the table.
I'm not exactly a perfectionist, but that one sided hit job couldn't get published here, it's not up to my journalistic standards, or any journalistic standards, this was Newsmax/OAN type garbage.
I'm going highlight some of the glaring mistakes Elon made last night with his overhyped nothingburger expose.
Elon Tweeted out before his NDA signing lackey https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1598822959866683394 started releasing the thread that it was a first amendment violation for government to tell a private company what to suppress, or allow on Twitter, ...Well golleee Andy, who was government pre-2020 presidential election ....I do believe Trump was government, he had the Whitehouse and Senate...Well Elon, that's kind of pesky fact...And, Elon has yet to walk that back.
M Taibbi....in the thread stated this.....
"Both parties had access to these tools. For instance, in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored"
Look at that will ya...M Taibbi says that the Trump Whitehouse made requests of Twitter and requests were honored...ahem...The Trump Whitehouse IS Government.....Yes he says the Biden campaign made asks, so did the Trump campaign and the Trump Whitehouse!!!!
Yet Elon's lackey provided nothing on the Trump demands of Twitter.
Right there...Sloppy, major fail...What did Twitter remove for Trump and the Whitehouse...
The Twitter files fall apart from here on out.
M Taibbi stated there were mostly Dems working at Twitter, newsflash..It's California/San Fransico where most of these staffers resided...M Taibbi also posted some political donations these Twitter staffers sent to Democrats....Really, Elon? Yet there was some money donated to GOP, albeit less...Good luck finding a GOP candidate who doesn't live in Trumplandia or Qanonville...Who the fyck would donate to the GOP...Certainly not most highly educated techies.
Very weak presentation by Elon, even as performative art, it stunk, and it only got worse.
Elon Musk refused to release any Twitter data about search requests....Because, there were millions of searches on Twitter for Biden Hunters laptop, pre 2020 election..Elon didn't bother mentioning that in his boring thread.
Despite the suppression it was being searched out in Twitter bigtime..
In other words...The Hunter Biden laptop suppression story, actually amplified the Hunter Biden laptop story......And that, in a nutshell is that, Rudy Giuliani talked about and claimed to have Hunter's laptop from February 2020...7 months before Rudy colludy decided to spread the fakery around, Rudy dropped it as an October surprise...Why did Rudy wait until October/2020 when he had possession since February/2020? That answer is simple..if Rudy had made the fakery available in February it would been long since debunked before election season heated up..Bottom line..
Anybody searching on Twitter for Hunter Biden laptop story, or Hunter dick pics, if they found nothing on Hunter, and that's a big if, there was plenty on Hunter and the bogus laptop on..
Fox News ran pre 2020 election stories on Hunter Biden and the laptop, as well as the NY Post...OAN was all over it, Newsmax, Bannon, Alex Jones and all the usual rightwing propagandists were all over it, Rudy, Trump, surrogates....Hunter Hunter Hunter
How many times was Hunter Biden's laptop searched on Twitter the 2 weeks before 2020 Elon Musk...Huh, have you got the balls to release that number...? Millions of times
Now, today, Trump on Truth Social because of Musk's baloney expose wrote that he wants the constitution thrown out and have himself installed as president...Way to go Elon...
__________
So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great “Founders” did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!
https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/109449803240069864
________
...and that's funny, not funny ha ha, but so fucking stupid and lacking in thought funny, and you brought it on...Why?
But but but, Trump said Dominion stole his election, then it was Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss..Dinesh D Souza said thousands of mules and fake ballots stole Trump's 2020 election...Michael Gableman said illegal drop boxes stole Trump's win..Mike Lindell say Dominion voting machines and algorithms stole Trump's 2020 win...Sidney Powell says Italian satellites stole the election.......And now on masse MAGA morons and the rightwing echo machine is screaming Trump was right...Yea, so now Twitter employees, who were wrestling whether to allow Hunter Biden dick pictures on the platform cost Trump the election....Well, it didn't matter, the HB Laptop story was amplified by the suppression, not a single fucking US political follower/partisan, for either side who went looking for Hunter Biden stories or pics was deprived of indulging on Hunter Biden's penis..., Fox news/Newsmax..NY Post...All the usual offenders ran full speed with Hunter stories..
Elon Musk has cherry picked weak material, one sided material...and the amateur rollout by M Taibbi actually debunked Elon's premise...There was no FBI pressure to suppress...any government pressure came from Trump...and both Dems and Republicans, rightly or wrongly were gaming Twitters moderation/content gurus....Elon and Taibbi stated that Democrats made more requests......You bet they did..
Republican spin doctors and Trump himself spread more fucking disinformation and downright lies than anybody, so of course there were more Dem requests...My gawd, all the Qanon garbage, Dems drinking children's blood...I could go on and on....Bottom line.
Dems ran on policy and anti Trump.
Trump and GOP ran on Q.....on hate, on lies, on cultural issues....Trump spread crap that Biden was going to take away religion, take away God, remove borders....and much more inflammatory garbage...So of course Dems made more requests...But how many more, how many Trump requests of Twitter, either Trump campaign or Trump Whitehouse, how many, let's compare apples to apples......M Taibbi said that the Trump Whitehouse made moderation requests of twitter, as well as the Trump campaign...Elon offered no balance...What did Trump want removed from Twitter, what did the Trump Whitehouse(Gov)want removed from Twitter, or suppressed?
Elon provided nothing, yet the internal documents he provided Matt Taibbi clearly assert that Trump campaign and Whitehouse made requests and they were honored.
"Both parties had access to these tools. For instance, in 2020, requests from both the Trump White House and the Biden campaign were received and honored"
If I had to grade Elon's Twitter expose... not a B, nor C....a big fucking F....Elon has more money than some nations, he could have made or paid for a professional presentation, with balance....and why did Elon insist M Taibbi sign a nondisclosure agreement(NDA)?
Elon has nothing, all he exposed was already revealed 2 years ago....Also, Elon does not keep his word, part II of the Twitter files was advertised by Elon for tonight(December 3rd), it never materialized, Elon, a week plus ago promised amnesty for suspended accounts...Hasn't happened, Elon only reinstated big name assholes(sorry folks, only in B.C. am I considered a "big name asshole")...Elon lies, he's making it up as he goes along.
There's more...Elon's Nazi loving friend embarrassed Elon, a total Kanye West clusterfuck...Elon suspended YE...That's partly the reason why Elon dragged this hairless stray cat of an expose to Twitter's forefront, to deflect from the Twitter dumpster fire, advertisers bailing, hate speech on Twitter up 80% since he took the reigns..
And to try and fuck with the Georgia Senate runoff race.
Elon Musk, for a self described genius is stupid, actually, he thinks Twitter users and ordinary folk are stupid, little does he know, I can see right through him, and so can millions of others..
Give me the Twitter data...I'll give people The Straight Goods on what happened....ahh, but Elon ain't got balls and or the receipts to make a case.....Elon would never let a straight shooter tell it like it is, that's why he forced Matt Taibbi to sign a NDA.
Lets refresh....Elon buys Twitter, said he'd be fair to left and right....Just a couple weeks before 2022 midterms, Elon tells the world and his 100 million plus followers he used to be a Democrat but now he's a Republican.....Than a week later, Mr. Elon not partisan Musk tells his 100 Million plus fan boys n fangirls to vote Republicans....hmmm, that sounds fair...and definitely not partisan....sheesh.
When the ugly frothy right tried to advance a despicable Paul Pelosi gay tryst love affair resulting with a skull getting cracked with a hammer...Who amplified the story and spread it...Elon did, pre 2022 midterms....Elon knew it was crap.
You see folks.....Elon believed the fake rightwing polls about a redwave coming, Elon wanted to be on the winning side....Elon's a moron, as I posted, they were shit polls, designed to influence, not designed to get an accurate result
https://powellriverpersuader.blogspot.com/2022/11/dont-believe-pollsthe-fascist-are-going.html
Elon did worse than that.....Not only did he want to be on a winning GOP side, he tried to influence 2022 midterms...His display was gross, and yes, it would have been wrong for an alter ego Elon to have endorsed Democrats....Elon played dirty, seems to be a pattern with those born with silver spoons, yes indeed, filthy rich, born into emerald mine money, still, he's a fucking smug moron.
Back to the Hunter Biden story, post 2020....What Elon failed to notice, or deliberately ignored for the 2 years leading up to the 2022 midterms, all we heard from rightwing media is Hunter hunter Hunter...GOP candidates campaigned on investigating Hunter...most of the extreme MAGA runners lost, Trump's big election denier endorsees got spanked, republicans have been dining on Hunter Biden's laptop since the 2020 election, albeit they are dining alone in a rightwing media echo chamber...Even Trump himself, at all his 2022 rallies dined on and fed Hunter Biden food to his maga base.
In other words...The 2022 midterms were a referendum on Hunter, on Joe Biden, on the Government, and.
And the public chose policy and sanity over Qanon, or Hunter's penis and or culture wars.
And by doing so.
The people rejected Elon Musk....Unfortunately, Elon harbors grudges..
Elon lashed out, a rich boy tantrum, he aimed his anger at Democrats and promoted a big reveal that turned into a cheap amateur reeking of partisanship prank...And in doing so he set Trump and his violent maga base off on another election theft tangent, a tangent built on bullshit made up out of whole cloth crap...Not only that, Elon ended up doxing peoples private emails, names, many have already received death threats from MAGA...Great job Elon...Gonna get people killed
Even worse, Elon's NDA signing lackey M Taibbi, in his pathetic one sided thread vaguely but without evidence suggested foul play in Brazil's last election....Fuck man..Lula De Silva won round one, and round two...And major pollsters nailed the results on the money...Elon is prepared to mess with Brazil's Democracy, trying to incite a military coup.
Elon Musk is another fucking chaos agent, a rightwing chaos agent, who pals around with Nazis....Say hello to Ye for me would ya Elon.
So there you have it folks....The richest man in the world, and this is the best he can deliver, a one sided partisan amateur expose, full of wholes, it contradicted so many of Elon's strategic leaks and rightwing assertions.
That's all you got Elon....You can't hold a candle to little ole me, let alone millions of very astute straight up Twitter users...
Elon Musk.....
You just PUNKED YOURSEF in front of 100 million plus Twitter accounts..
The Straight goods

Great read
It seems to never end, ever since Bill Clinton was president republicans went to sewer politics, nolonger was policy or improving lives a priority.
What a waste of 25 years.
Well done.

you still rocking Grant, love how you sliced through Elons hit job like a knife through butter.
when you coming back to write on bc politics? we miss your hard hitting take no prisoners stories.

A page from Trumps offerings.
Elon lies, he's making it up as he goes along.
A page from Trump..
he used to be a Democrat but now he's a Republican..
Another page from Trump!
The gazzionaires of the USA need to be taken down a peg or two before their egos destroy the world.
TB
Not sure when i'm going to return to BC Politics...Not much going on....Thing is, I have no faith in either of BC's two political parties.
Right now i'm concentrating on getting Trump jailed for crimes against humanity, and snuffing out the rise of Fascism and Nazis.
Thing is....If the US goes full Fascism, puts White Christian nationalists in charge, we here in Canada are doomed to be inhaled by the American right(reich)...
Those who don't read history, or don't understand the past are doomed to repeat it..
Anywho...
Elon Musk is propagating the rise of the Nazis....South Africa..you bet...A shitload of fleeing Nazis made their way to S. Africa...
Think it might be time to look into the many Musk family ties to the Nazis....There are many.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/05/opinions/elon-musk-twitter-obeidallah/index.html
Like I said.....Time to look at Elon's bloodlines.
"But an enthusiasm for Nazism went far beyond a shared geopolitical enemy. Hitler’s Third Reich excited South African white supremacists. Members of the Afrikaner Broederbond, a highly secretive organisation made up of members of the Afrikaans elite, wrote pamphlets in which they imagined a future where Black people were locked into a state of slavery and English speakers were second-class citizens.
The lebensraum (literally “living space”, but meaning a territory necessary for so-called natural development) and Herrenvolk (the German nation but there are overtones of “master race”) doctrines emerged from the brutality and violence of European colonialism. The Herero and Nama genocides in Namibia, then German South West Africa, from 1904 to 1908, prefigured the Nazi death squads and extermination plots. There, the German empire destroyed African resistance through starvation and systematic murder"

@ my local troll..
DTES has been a shitshow for last 50 years...Won't change...Won't change until you remove the drugs.
As for high housing prices....Want cheap housing, move to Winnipeg...BCers future for younger generations will be as permanent renters..BC lower mainland, especially Vancouver is world class city...GVRD housing has been unaffordable for last 35 years..it is what it is..
As for a solution? Government needs to purchase raw land, not in Vancouver but further out...Then...Build foundations for simple homes.. These homes...Assembled in an hour, all they need is a tiny foundation on a serviced lot with sewer and water
$50k homes(abt $65k Canadian dollars, plus foundation cost), assembled in an hour...no fuss, no muss...
But government won't do it....neither party will do it...Nothing gets built in BC in the way of housing projects or bridges or any infrastructure without the big boy players filling their bank accounts....Just look at Port Mann or pathetic sky train...Government approved THEFT of tax dollars.
And if you want to crash housing market....you'll end up putting 100,000s of BCers on the street, as they used their home's equity to pay the bills..
Anyway....No more BC politics on this thread
https://www.cnn.com/videos/business/2022/09/01/boxabl-instant-build-tiny-homes-galiano-tiramani-firstmove-vpx.cnn
Foundation cost, quick home cost...Call it $100k per home all in....For a $billion dollars..That's 10,000 homes built...And, if people residing in them paid the $100k back, interest free...Guv could just keep on building them.
of course there will not be any big profits to be had if one sells...Different animal of sorts, but it is a solution.
"At every turn, Trump has shown he is willing to dismantle democracy to remain in power, proving that he is truly unfit for the nation’s highest office. From his request that his own vice president cast aside the Constitution to thwart the will of the people to his setting the stage for the protest that led to the storming of the Capitol, it’s clear that Trump has always been against the founding principles of our country.
Trump has acted in ways that were despotic and authoritarian at times, but this takes the cake. He has shown his true colors; he stands against our nation and only for his own ego"
https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/05/opinions/trump-attack-constitution-gop-pratte-oates/index.html
$50k homes(abt $65k Canadian dollars, plus foundation cost), assembled in an hour...no fuss, no muss...
We all know that will not happen, it would crash the real estate market.
The control of real estate has and is the controlling power in BC politics....
Right now i'm concentrating on getting Trump jailed for crimes against humanity, and snuffing out the rise of Fascism and Nazis.
Trump will never be jailed tho he may be charged with various offences.
There are just too many Trump like politician around feeding off the state.
They , controlling the courts, will never allow this to happen.
Best we can do is to make like friggen miserable for Trump and his well wishers.
TB
Never say never TB.....What i'm hoping for...Ron DeSantis enters the race, a heavy feud develops and Desantis prevails...But, he needs the MAGA base to migrate to him...if that happens..Trump will lose it, thus making it easier to send Trump away...
However, you are probably correct TB.....Here's the other angle i've been musing about..
Trump gets indicted, goes to trial, found guilty...Once found guilty, disposition of punishment comes later...Trump facing a term in prison....What happens next?
Biden pardons Trump....And, the fact Trump was convicted, he's prohibited from holding public office.
It would be delicious...Trump would go to his grave knowing the only reason he isn't in jail is because the man he lost to pardoned him.

@Rob......Your comment is spot on, Elon at it again today, tweeting breadcrumbs...Elon is pushing for conflict.
He hasn't got the receipts, but he does have world's biggest soapbox...
What I don't get....The
Hunter Biden dick pics and emails on some funky harddrive story.....wasn't suppressed, it was everywhere pre 2020 election....Basically, think of it like this...Hey, Hunter Biden stories everywhere, dirty pics, drugs etc etc....Huh, how come it's not trending on Twitter...Anybody online, on twitter found what they were looking for elsewhere
How about Fox news, they suppressed Stormy Daniels story in 2016....What does that mean? They didn't report on it...Fox news literally doesn't report any good news for Biden or Dems, especially around elections...Think about all the republican scandal stories or ugly taped snippets that old not on the internet fox viewers never see, or hear about..
2022 midterms proved public ain't buying the Hunter stuff...2020 Trump's j6 gang attacked capital on a lie....Nation still divided and Elon is pushing a narrative that the 2020 election was stolen via twitter...Rudy been splashing that hard-drive around for three years and GOP congresspersons claim to have had a copy of the Hard drive for almost a year...Nothing on it can be verified..Why is Elon doing this, with weak evidence....
Elon is a very dangerous man.....S African, Son of a rich man, emerald mines and cheap labor...Fascism? White supremacy? Chaos?
Not quite sure what he's up to...
And so it begins...For sake of survival for the republican party, ....Trump is being thrown under the bus, more and more voices in the GOP are telling it like it is....Dump Trump.
"He said he hoped Warnock’s victory would serve as a wake-up call for the GOP: “If we don’t take our medicine here, it’s our fault. … Every Republican in this country ought to hold Donald Trump accountable for this.”
https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/georgia-senate-race-results-12-07-22/index.html
See that folks....2 years out from 2024 presidential election and already GOPers are cringing over every Trump statement...Trump is done..Dining with Nazis and holocaust deniers, calling for articles in the US constitution be thrown out and he be installed as president.
Trump is a one trick pony...his shtick has become boring, ad nauseum...2 more years of Trump spewing garbage...He's done.
However...Having studied Trump's past and his modus operandi .....Trump's ego will not allow him to walk away silently.
Trump will burn everything down, he'll deliberately try to destroy the GOP party..He'll whine and disparage the USA...He'll play victim and grievance cards to the bitter end.
Republican party deserves this, they had many opportunities to unite as a party and cast Trump aside...
Cowards, power hungry cowards who knew better...
This is going to get very messy...And i'm here for it.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/07/politics/trump-bad-week-analysis/index.html
Like I said....Confirmation that the Hunter Biden twitter suppression story actually amplified the story....The Straight Goods didn't need confirmation, our eyes and ears are wide open...Have a read of this..

Hello! You’ve Been Referred Here Because You’re Wrong About Twitter And Hunter Biden’s Laptop
Wed, Dec 7th 2022 11:57am - Mike Masnick
"What is missing entirely is any evidence that politics entered this discussion at all. Not even once.
2. But Twitter’s decision to “suppress” the story was a big deal and may have swung the election to Biden!
I’m sorry, but there remains no evidence to support that silly claim either. First off, Twitter’s decision actually seemed to get the story a hell of a lot more attention. Again, as noted above, Twitter did nothing to stop discussion of the story. It only blocked links to one story in the NY Post, and only for that one day. And the very fact that Twitter did this (and Facebook took other action) caused a bit of a Streisand Effect (hey!) which got the underlying story a lot more attention because of the decisions by those two companies.
The reality, though, is that the story just wasn’t that big of a deal for voters. Hunter Biden wasn’t the candidate. His father was. Everyone already pretty much knew that Hunter is a bit of a fuckup and clearly personally profiting off of the situation, but there was no actual big story in the revelations (I mean, yeah, there are still some people who insist there are, but they’re the same people who misunderstood the things we’re debunking here today). And, if we’re going to talk about kids of Presidents profiting off of their last name, well, there’s a pretty long list to go down….
But don’t take my word for it, let’s look at the evidence. As reporter Philip Bump recently noted, there’s actual evidence in Google search trends that Twitter and Facebook’s decision really did generate a lot more interest in the story. It was well after both companies took action that searches on Google for Hunter Biden shot upward:"
https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/07/hello-youve-been-referred-here-because-youre-wrong-about-twitter-and-hunter-bidens-laptop/
________________
Mike Masnick wrote a very good accurate article....And it goes to show you how utterly pathetic Trump and maga are...Claiming suppression affected 2020 election....
I can't believe how fake the republican/maga whining has become....Yes, many are mentally damaged and uneducated...but even more know they're peddling bullshit..
anywho....Bottom line...Grant G and The Straight Goods was the first to report on how that Twitter Hunter Biden suppression story amplified the Hunter Biden laptop/hard drive story.
Cheers

Hello GG, you cracked me up with this paragraph
"Elon does not keep his word, part II of the Twitter files was advertised by Elon for tonight(December 3rd), it never materialized, Elon, a week plus ago promised amnesty for suspended accounts...Hasn't happened, Elon only reinstated big name assholes(sorry folks, only in B.C. am I considered a "big name asshole")...Elon lies, he's making it up as he goes along."
Sounds about right
(sorry folks, only in B.C. am I considered a "big name asshole")
Not so sure, I am positive there are many throughout Canada that think you are a "big name asshole"
Well, Mr. Sneakers.....I may be mistaken, but I do believe that's a compliment..
Thanks for that...I think.

US right wing radio is beside itself at the moment trying to deflect attention from their election losses and Trumps failures.

Very soon millions will deny they even voted for Trump....He done.
Elon Musk....Just a reminder, he has access to everybody's direct messages, and personal info...i'm not worried, but there's lot of people on twitter, politicos, business, entertainment...lots of direct messages between followers/friends...Elon has given internal access to his outside people...Read it here.

Twitter Files dump number 2..Just as pathetic as the first drop...Just visit Elon Musk twitter to read the Barry Weiss twitter thread...
However....Once again, nothing new was revealed, the thread was about not amplifying specific accounts...funny though, appears the dates were post 2020...
Now, as for amplifying reach, or deamplifying reack on Twitter....Elon Musk is actually engaging in amping and de-amping tweets now....Don't take my word for it..Elon said it.
It's very sinister to limit the reach of someone's tweets!!
Quote Tweet Elon Musk
@elonmuskNov 18
New Twitter policy is freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.
Negative/hate tweets will be max deboosted & demonetized, so no ads or other revenue to Twitter.
You won’t find the tweet unless you specifically seek it out, which is no different from rest of Internet

Read the twitter file thread that just dropped....Then read this.....Fuck is Elon a moron.

The most prolific superspreader of disinformation and lies on social media in 2020...Twitter misinformation king....Trump.....Facebook misinformation king..Trump
Here's a little bit of a very good article.. link below
"A report from the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), a group that includes Stanford and the University of Washington, analyzed social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok during several months before and after the 2020 elections.
It found that “super-spreaders” – responsible for the most frequent and most impactful misinformation campaigns – included Trump and his two elder sons, as well as other members of the Trump administration and the rightwing media......
Out of the 21 top offenders, 15 were verified Twitter accounts – which are particularly dangerous when it comes to election misinformation, the study said. The “repeat spreaders” responsible for the most widely spread misinformation included Eric Trump, Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr and influencers like James O’Keefe, Tim Pool, Elijah Riot and Sidney Powell. All 21 of the top accounts for misinformation leaned rightwing, the study showed.
“Top-down mis- and disinformation is dangerous because of the speed at which it can spread,”
between 1 January 2020 and 6 January 2021 – Donald Trump pushed disinformation in more than 1,400 Facebook posts, a report from Media Matters for America released in February found. Trump was ultimately suspended from the platform in January, and Facebook is debating whether he will ever be allowed back.
Specifically, 516 of his posts contained disinformation about Covid-19, 368 contained election disinformation, and 683 contained harmful rhetoric attacking his political enemies. Allegations of election fraud earned over 149.4m interactions, or an average of 412,000 interactions per post, and accounted for 16% of interactions on his posts in 2020. Trump had a unique ability to amplify news stories that would have otherwise remained contained in smaller outlets and subgroups, said Matt Gertz of Media Matters for America.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/mar/05/election-misinformation-trump-rightwing-super-spreader-study
Elon just keeps on digging holes ....This person, Dr. Jay Battacharya, joined twitter in Aug/20121 ...Did he get heads up from Elon? ...Also, certainly isn't election related.
https://twitter.com/C_Memo2020/status/1601076601286164481
Fox news airs what Fox news wants to air...National Post..CKNW radio..Globe and Mail..Steve Bannon, Lindell TV...Charlie Kirk podcasts, Tim Pool..Jim Dore..
They can all post what they want, they all engage in suppression of the truth, what Fox news does, to more watching voters than any US media...They engage is suppression that makes twitter and facebook look like pikers..
Bottom line....The vast majority of misinformation online comes from the rightwing...and this was probably inevitable..When you stop running on policy all you have left is cultural issues, gay/abortion/crt/groomers/religion/hate/ and fear...
Policy is policy.....Cultural wars require fanning the flames of hatred towards the enemy..That's why so much disinformation comes from the right, or Trump

Twitter File dump #3 Tonight....Another nothingburger...Threadat link directly below this paragraph.
https://twitter.com/bariweiss/status/1601007575633305600
Here is what was revealed
One Trump tweet pre election got slightly deamplified....After Trump's election loss, Twitter put false information labels on Trump's election fraud claims, because it was false, no Ruby freeman, no more votes than voters, Dominion stole it, we all remember Trump's bogus forever shifting claims of election fraud ....We all saw that in real time on twitter...However, Trump with 100 million twitter followers was never really de-amped...
After the Capital riot, Twitter laid the boots to Trump n suspended him....It was too late, riot happened already and mayhem quelled....How do you not suspend, if Trump wasn't suspended post 2021 riot...he'd a had warning labels on most of his tweets and would get suspended for spreading lies....And let's be perfectly clear....Trump's entire presidency, his twitter was given more free passes than anybody...Trump flagged so many times....Twitter , through the era of Trump in power defended not suspending Trump on ground's that the world needed to hear what the US president says, or in this case tweets.....
In other words...Trump was not only given extra special treatment by twitter, anybody else would have been suspended a 1oo times over......
Read this...From October 16/2019...
https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/16/tech/twitter-trump-rules/index.html
"Twitter will continue to take a forgiving approach to objectionable tweets by Trump.....
So Twitter withheld links to the NY Post story on Hunter Biden for 1 day....Then Twitter deamped 1 Trump tweet pre-election.....After Trump incited white supremists, Christian nationalists, goons, uneducated and misinformed(by trump)maga mob to stop the peaceful transfer of power at the capital....Shortly thereafter Twitter suspended Trump.....Trump, who hasn't stopped lying since......
_____________
Elon Musk continues to punk himself in plain view of millions of intelligent twitter accounts...Another nothingburger...
However...Elon not partisan Musk is succeeding at one thing..the millions of bots, unthinking maga rubes, nazis, election deniers, White Christian nationalists and Trump himself are screaming and tweeting election fraud, Trump won...and much worse
Nope, Elon proved the opposite...Twitter let Trump get away with 1000's of tweets, lie-filled tweets....
Elon, apparently doesn't know when to stop digging a hole...Well, actually it doesn't matter to Elon Musk....He's succeeding in further dividing America...Right out of the Fascist playbook..
In time, even for you doubters, it will be crystal clear what Elon is up to.
Cheers
Postal disruptions were a concern...De Joy..

Keep on embarrassing yourself Elon Musk....Twitter dump number 3 proves only one thing, Trump should have been banned from the platform years ago..Trump was worst offender when it comes to lies, misinformation and hate tweets...
The frothy right attempting to rile up the loons with more stolen election rhetoric..
Nobody pre-2020 election or after 2020 election had a bigger microphone or reach than Trump.
Anywho, Elon is threatening remaining twitt employees that any leaks will result in dismissal and lawfare....
Elon may be rich, however, he's also blind to what people CAN see clearly..We see Elon contorting and twisting with the help of NDA signing partisans using selective internal twitters comms....Very weak material...Reminds me of GOP non-stop bleating about Benghazi..
I wonder which nation state Elon Musk and his $44 billion dollar twitter are actually working for, Saudi Arabia, Russia??? we also now know why Elon rushed the acquisition of Twitter(he paid more than double it's worth)... so he could interfere in 2022 midterm elections, that much is clear...post 2022 elections...Elon has gone after Democrats, non stop Trump fluffing.....It's so obvious what Elon is doing...He brush's off Trump's continual disinformation, brushes off Trump's crimes while simultaneously presenting a weak vague, partisan thread.....Elon Musk wants an America that is a Corporate Fascist run country...Where rich connected are immune to any rules....We see you Elon...And Treason be your name.

A great takedown podcast of the last Twitter dump by Matt Taibi....Tune in, be patient...Funny how takedown in pod cast is near identical to everything laid above in comments...
Hal Sparks definitely knows where to check in to get The Straight Goods on the Elon droppings.
Hence my continuing threads in the comment section.

Won't be long now....Elon will soon have blood on his hands...Elon has not exposed anything of substance, all he has done is rile up the deranged frothy right...And put a target on many people's back...I'll bet dollars to donuts someone is gonna die via Elon's twitter game.

Thing is....Elon didn't dig up any dirt...Read the thesis....Nothing but A Elon Musk hit job...He has track record of doing just that.
Remember folks....Elon has access to every twitter users private DMs...
Free speech, is that what you call what Elon is doing...inciting conspiracy, doxing people, twisting details, tweeting slanted garbage without allowing any of the targets to respond in kind with legal threat.....Fascist playbook people....Twitter as we know it is gone...

Last paragraph of this article was very foreboding...It was written in May of 2020...pre-election...Last paragraph has come full circle...Think before Kanye West went Nazi, and before Elon went full maga..
Here is last paragraph
____________
“As far as I know, Elon Musk has not come out hard in support of Trump yet, so I don’t think that there’s as much widespread buy-in from the MAGA movement for Elon just yet,” Holt said. “But if Elon follows up this red pill tweet with something that’s maybe more directly supportive of the president or, hypothetically, he appears with Donald Trump Jr. somewhere — that sort of thing, I think, could eventually work its way into a Kanye West type of moment. But I don’t think we’re there yet with Elon Musk.”

Well, that was written in May 2020...Kanye is now Ye...and Ye is a full-on Nazi..And Elon is full-on maga...
They need to update that article to .......Elon Musk is now there...December 9th 2022
Funny...also accurate.
https://twitter.com/diogeron/status/1601641891132747776
Elon's premise is bullshit....Trump always sucked all the oxygen in the room, in other words...Conservatives have never been censored...And nobody online was deprived of Trump misinformation.
https://thehill.com/opinion/technology/3273956-musk-says-twitter-is-biased-against-conservatives-facts-say-otherwise/
Elon...Full on maga.Full on Nazi.

Elon is a fool...And he's a two-bit troll....Who changes on the fly...Fuck Musk.

Elon has arrived....Full maga....Bye bye twitter...Hello 8-chan 2.0
Thing is...Elon is lashing out...Histeam lost midterms..losr independents...So now Elon itrolling via maga talking points
https://twitter.com/nogg_the/status/1601921997898121217
Elon failed so badly with his twitter dumps....He's lashing out, now trolling for the sake of trolling...
This is good, everyday more and more see what Elon is doing...it's not about what Elon has become...We are seeing the real elon Musk exposing himself...Maga moron.

Elon is so cringe...and so see-through...Twitter file dump was so lame, so empty and one sided, even with that, full on partisan hit job couldn't even make the case....All Elon proved is Trump should have been suspended from twitter years ago...Also Elon confirmed how Trump was given leeway to lie and harm because he was president.....Elon proved Twitter staff struggled with decision to axe Trump after the coup attempt...In other words...Elon is a Trump ball-licking fluffer.

Elon Musk parroted Trump's covid lines in early 2020, that the covid case count would soon be zero....Elon also tweeted that the vaccine was overall good....a Million plus covid deaths later....
Now Elon attacks Fauci..with cringe....Yet first lockdowns Trump was in power...While ventilators were being built by the 1000s..under Trump....And in the end...Trump was in power when vaccines got made, and approved....Ahh, but Elon is silent on that..He's going after Fauci, endangering his life..
Is Elon Musk saying Trump should have fired Fauci and ignored lockdown calls? Is Elon Musk saying Trump was wrong to develop vaccines for covid?
Is Elon Musk saying lockdowns cost lives?
Is Elon Musk telling the vast percentage of all persons in the world, who HAVE been vaccinated that they are evil, or stupid, or alive?, as in not dead...
Seems to me that vaccines were developed under Trump, and Trump got vaxxed, Trump told people to get vaxxed...Trump didn't fire Fauci, first lockdowns were under Trump...
Anywho...With Elon Musk's own tweets from 2020...He tweeted covid cases would fall to near zero...A million deaths later and a million infected...Elon tweeted coved vaccine was good..
Elon can take any anti-science stance he wants, and with covid lockdowns, Fauci and vaccines....If Elon attacks that, and doesn't attack Trump...Hypocrite, partisan full maga hypocrite.
Elon Musk just punked himself...Again.

Oh no!!....Now everyone knows how Elon ended up owning twitter.
