He is trying to outdo bannon.

We've learned that most of the time Elon has no idea what he's talking about, either.

3. It's all "Musk (snake)Oil"

4. No matter how ridiculous the talking points

the importance of controlling the narrative is very much underestimated. Now the fascists have control of Twitter.

[onecaliberal]

6. The fascists own the media.

5. Using twitter as a political weapon will backfire.....

I'm pretty sure many democratic countries will pull the plug on twitter for another neutral social media platform. Creating hatred and violence will not bode well.

19. I hope you're right.

7. That makes two of them, then.

Musk has no idea what he's talking about either.

8. Muskket believes that aliens built the pyramids. I wanna see *those* files.

9. F**K twitter since musk took over. I will NEVER support or buy anything that is backed by that PIG

I really hope people start suing musk's sorry ass if he starts throwing out libelous and slanderous slurs

[2naSalit]

12. He is directing his trolls...

Toward targets that will gain him brownie points with the other fuckheads with too much money and power. He seems to want to be rupert murdoch and tfg all at once. He likes their power and wants it for himself, especially the ordering people to adore you part. Or at least forcing them to live as he thinks they should, for his benefit of course.

We have to find a way to knock these assholes off their thrones.

13. Musk continues to validate

my reasons for leaving Twitter.

[ZonkerHarris]

14. Musk is a spotlight whore

He just needs eternal attention

[LiberalFighter]

15. Musk is just trying to increase Twitter activity.

[tinrobot]

16. Musk has access to people's trusted personal data and private messages

And he's violating that trust as a power play to stoke his fragile ego.


Nobody should be using Twitter at this point. Anything people do on the platform can be twisted and used against them.

[Initech]

17. It's internet conspiracy theory bullshit.

Nothing to see here, move along.

[Beaverhausen]

18. The right wing loves to spread lies about Fauci

here's one rebuttal from last August from Science Magazine

https://www.science.org/content/article/almost-everything-tucker-carlson-said-about-anthony-fauci-week-was-misleading-or-false


Almost everything Tucker Carlson said about Anthony Fauci this week was misleading or false

Science fact-checks the Fox host’s rant against “Saint Tony,” who announced his retirement on Monday

Tucker Carlson, a political commentator on Fox News, has long assailed Anthony Fauci for his role in the U.S. government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic during both former President Donald Trump’s and President Joe Biden’s administrations. But on 22 August, when Fauci announced he would be retiring from his jobs as director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and chief medical adviser to the president at the end of year, the Tucker Carlson Tonight host laid into him like never before.

Carlson asserted Fauci had committed “very serious crimes” and said he “apparently engineered the single most devastating event in modern American history.” Carlson, infamous for assailing people’s looks, also called Fauci a “an even tinier version of the Dalai Lama” and a “Stalinist midget.”

Carlson seems to relish criticisms of his comments, which inevitably draw more attention to him and his show. But at the risk of playing into his hand, Science fact-checked his criticisms of Fauci. The analysis shows Carlson took facts out of context and cited long-debunked studies or reports to attack Fauci. He also repeatedly blamed Fauci and other scientists for changing their minds based on new evidence—the bedrock of scientific progress. In Carlson’s calculus, such reversals equal lying.
