Really doubt it tbh, elon obviously has a massive axe to grind with the troonsquad because they trooned out one of his sons who now hates elon.

The interview with Tucker where he discusses A.I. is probably a lot more interesting... but the more fun is this one:

He isn't wrong. What's a website need so many make-work jobs for? Turns out: nothing. Maybe 80% of mankind is in the same category as twitterati...

You have to chuckle to yourself when he makes the point: he improved Twitter's performance by an average of 80% with 20% of the original staff.

That's pretty great.

Yes and no.

Yes if you look at Twitter as a message sharing platform, sure.

No if you look at Twitter as a vehicle for social engineering and honeypot for intelligence agencies. There Twitter's performance has tanked under Elon.

Yikes. Lot's to unpack here.

I honestly tried to use Twitter after Elon took over and I still don't get it. Its design is just terrible and unintuitive and finding information on Twitter is impossible, you either search for or you're fed information.

An update on Twitter Transparency Reporting
By
Twitter
Tuesday, 25 April 2023
As we review our approach to transparency reporting in light of innovations in content moderation and changes in the regulatory landscape, we believe it’s important to share data from H1 2022 on our health & safety efforts. We won’t be publishing a formal transparency report for this period (January 1 - June 30, 2022) in our previous format.

Twitter continues to take action on content that violates our Rules and protects users’ rights in response to government legal requests.

Over the reporting period, Twitter required users to remove 6,586,109 pieces of content that violated the Twitter Rules, an increase of 29% from H2 2021. We took enforcement action on 5,096,272 accounts during this period (a 20% increase), and 1,618,855 accounts were suspended for violating the Twitter Rules (a 28% increase).

28,753 | 19,838 | 35,240



Around the world, Twitter received approximately 53,000 legal requests to remove content from governments during the reporting period. Twitter’s compliance rate for these requests varied by requester country. The top requesting countries were Japan, South Korea, Turkey and India.

Twitter received over 16,000 government information requests for user data from over 85 countries during the reporting period. Disclosure rates vary by requester country. The top five requesting countries seeking account information in H1 2022 were India, the United States, France, Japan, and Germany.

We intend to share more about our path forward for transparency reporting later this year. In the meantime, we will continue to give you insights into Twitter’s work to promote entertaining, informative and healthy conversation.
Yeah, I don't know how to import spreadsheets. Whatever...

Great, now there is a financial incentive to be as inoffensive and milquetoast as possible. Rewarding those who tow the popular line, which is whatever the propaganda class wants it to be.

Stand up to jewish hate? Oy vey, that's very antisemitic. Very problematic.

Gonna have to disavow. The Chosen should be allowed to hate whomever they like and act accordingly. Bad goys.

All part of the plan, pedes!. Just like U.S President Donald J. Trump, Elon Musk is only PRETENDING to be working alongside the enemy. That's why he places them in positions of influence, while holding all of the cards HIMSELF!. Get with the program dude, WWG1WGA!.

Apparently she's a WEF board member. The only shock about all this is my lack of shock at people pointing this out. I'm getting jaded.

Still waiting for him to unban Ye, Varg, the National Justice Party, Kevin MacDonald, Andrew Anglin, and everyone else that was banned after he took over. He's such a lying sack of shit.
