Use of N-word on Twitter jumped by almost 500% after Elon Musk's takeover as trolls test limits on free speech, report says

After self-proclaimed "free speech absolutist" Elon Musk closed the $44 billion deal on Twitter, anonymous accounts set about testing the limits of the social media platform's moderation policies, The Washington Post reported.

The Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), a research group that analyzes social media content to predict emerging threats, said that use of the N-word on Twitter increased by nearly 500% in the 12 hours immediately after Musk's deal was finalized.

The newspaper also noted that several online trolling accounts called on others to use racist language in the aftermath of the deal.

"Elon now controls twitter. Unleash the racial slurs. K---S AND N-----S," said one account, using slurs for Jewish and Black people, per the outlet.

So this is Elons idea of free speech. He better correct this and soon or the whole place will go down in flames.

One of the people Elon fired was in charge of monitoring and banning these types of posts. We don't need this type of shit out there, we have enough of it with the GOP houses and their supporters.

1. Musk has no class or taste.

There are plenty of websites with that kind of garbage. Looks like there is one more now.

2. In this specific situation we know that the N-word isn't nuclear.

However, the fallout was farther reaching.

It was trending over there.

3. This is really fucking bad. I will never go back, I've been gone for more than a year.

4. It may be that Musk is extremely naive. Hopefully he'll learn quick.

6. I doubt it.

He posted BS/disinformation about Paul Pelosi being drunk. Deleted it and joined a conversation that they had all this under control.
