B-Man Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Why they hate him. The left wants feudalism, and Elon’s giving them capitalism. Which is their worst nightmare because under capitalism, it is necessary to produce something of value. . Edited November 4, 2022 by B-Man 1 1

As a matter of fact, one of those families is building our new stadium.

No?

No? No. I have issues with ignorant freaks who purposely promote manipulated and fake news to brainwashed people who fail to realize they are nothing more than pawns who think they are winning by creating chaos that benefits BILLIONARIES... ala @Deranged Rhino clones @BillsFanNC; @Brueggs; etc.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 Twitter is awesome because you pick the content you want. Im not sure why people complain. It’s pretty straightforward. 1

Everyone! Both ‘peasants’ and billionaires. That doesn’t make anyone either evil or a ‘freak’. It makes them human.

Your 1st amendment is not infringed if you can’t use twitter. Edited November 4, 2022 by Buffalo_Stampede
Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) What’s funny is I’ve been suspended on this board many times. I accepted it and moved on. There is literally no difference from Twitter banning or suspending people on their platform. Edited November 4, 2022 by Buffalo_Stampede

Your 1st amendment rights are not violated if Twitter censors or bans you. It's also not free speech and it absolutely is silencing They have been and are now currently free to ban, "fact check" and censor any speech they wish. Just own it and don't call yourself a free speech platform when you do. Censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story that was always real went beyond individual free speech into violating freedom of the press and election interference. I'll also add that they do get into violating the first amendment when they coordinate with the government to fact check and censor speech. For example: Edited November 4, 2022 by BillsFanNC 1

ChiGoose Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 I wonder how adding $1 billion in debt servicing costs is going to impact a company that averaged $3.5 billion in gross revenue over the last five years...
The Frankish Reich Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 https://www.wsj.com/articles/elon-musk-says-twitter-has-had-massive-revenue-drop-11667573127?st=rdq3obi5s7p6gdm&reflink=article_copyURL_share So it turns out that you can run a content-moderated social media site and bring in a lot of money from advertisers, OR you can run a free-wheeling, anything goes social media site as a public service.
BillsFanNC Posted November 4, 2022 Author Posted November 4, 2022 "Content-moderated" You leftists can never own it. Censorship. Just say you like censoring people who don't share your worldview. I know, that would require honesty. Big ask. And who didn't see this coming? I can promise you Elon Musk did. Now he doesn't have to lay people off because they are political hack pro-censorship fascists. He can do it because advertisers, pro censorship fascists, cut his revenue. 1
ChiGoose Posted November 4, 2022 Posted November 4, 2022 One of the downsides of moving fast and breaking things is you might end up breaking the law… Twitter sued over short-notice layoffs as Elon Musk's takeover rocks company “"Twitter is now engaged in conducting mass layoffs without providing the required notice under the federal WARN Act," the lawsuit says, referring to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act that requires 60-day notice for certain plant closings or mass layoffs.”
