Pro-Palestinian usage of the slur coined by David Duke on Twitter is a clue there.
Do people in the US still use X? If yes, why? What keeps you on the platform (so the owner is a tiny step closer to destroying your own country)?
i voted for that, i voted for the destruction of the federal government because it's bankrupting us by stealing our money

> To be clear, you're comparing anti-semites (a racist "group") with Jews (an ethnic/religious group). One is defined by holding a targeted, hateful ideology. The other is a group of human beings, by birth/existence. I disagree. In this context they are 2 groups of people who disagree about something, everything else is irrelevant. It is your opinion to colour one side or the other 'hateful', 'racist' or any other wo…

I understand why you'd want to change the subject, but no. I also understand why you ignored the rest of my comment. I see now that you're a promoter of exactly the insidious "hate as an equal right" mantra that turned Twitter into what it is today. While it's infect…
Prejudice is completely different to hate. They are often associated but are not the same.

You seem very quick to label and categorise people into boxes about what they think about. Be careful, that is a very dangerous road to go down as history has proved time and time again.

Except that... They are? Of course not all of them, but those with enough reach or power to truly harm his reputation - such as journalists investigating him. He's not disappearing "Mark0394893838444" for saying "Musk is a dummy lol" but what does that proves? Meanwhile Musk has already banned the accounts of journalists for the crime of being too critical of him (on top of frivolous lawsuits clearly aimed at drainin…
> but what does that proves? That proves that its ok to criticise Musk on Twitter/X, which is what the OP was denying.

I don't understand how your comment is relevant. It feels like word salad and does not appear to logically follow the PC. What is "truth to power"? Did those ex-intelligence officers survive the Musk purge? How does this all relate to the events of today?
The USAID revelation revealed how they were funded. Along with thousands of other news organizations domestically and globally.

That's true in good part. But when it comes to leftist activists specifically, it's war for Musk. His son transitioning didn't exactly endear him to the ideology.
> But when it comes to leftist activists specifically, it's war for Musk. His son transitioning didn't exactly endear him to the ideology. It isn't just a left issue. Liberatarians also don't really care about LGBT people expressing themselves. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_perspectives_on_LG... So Musk isn't libertarian nor left on social issues. He is conservative right. Although his exact philosophy is…

Companies market themselves in ways that disagree with how the companies operate all the time. Marketing is frequently misaligned with what the company or product actually is.
So your take on it is "oh he's a hypocritical liar but it's OK because he's not the only one"?
Pick a company and you will almost certainly find contradictions in how they publicly represent themselves.

> Correct, they can talk about it all they want but cant act on it. "Election". Action very easy. They do it a lot. Did it this time, even, despite what they say. > He didnt. He did. Here's the lawsuit that X Corp. filed: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.txnd.38... That is him doing the thing.
> Did it this time, even, despite what they say. I disagree. > He did. Did he win? IMO saying he 'sued' someone means he was successful and they had to pay him. Otherwise he just filed a lawsuit.

To sue is to file.

For the case I linked to, the status appears to be "Oral argument in the Fifth Circuit is scheduled for February 18, 2025" i.e. tomorrow: https://knightcolumbia.org/cases/x-corp-v-media-matters
Lots of people can't fight lawsuits even if they're in the right. This is called "lawfare" or a "SLAPP".
Here's the result of a different SLAPP case that he was involved in, that was dismissed by a judge because it was identified as a SLAPP case by a judge in a jurisdiction where that's deemed anti freedom-of-speech:
"""A judge in California on Monday dismissed the tech billionaire Elon Musk’s lawsuit against the Center for Countering Digital Hate, a non-profit that has published reports chronicling the rise of racist, antisemitic and extremist content on X, formerly Twitter, since Musk’s acquisition.
The case was dismissed in accordance with the state’s anti-Slapp law, which forbids nuisance lawsuits intended to punish the exercise of free speech.""" - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/mar/25/elon-musk...
