I don’t think anyone meant to imply otherwise; hence why the replies were directed toward Musk and not you.
The penalty for traitors? Hmmm, sometimes Musk is a “pox a’ both your houses” type of guy, but I never thought he’d be so in favor of a harsh penalty for Trump.
I’m starting to suspect that this titan of industry might not actually be so smart after all.
That’s pretty funny. I’m interested if any of our history / finance buffs are aware of any previous lawsuit or criminal prosecution, even if unsuccessful, where an antitrust accusation was directed at a group of consumers. Even a case that was kind of like this, if you squinted real hard.
Evidently “free speech absolutism” means everyone is absolutely required to speak freely on X.
Hell, if ad space on Twitter was free, I’m sure some of them would have stayed.
He’s advertising free speech, so he should give them free speech
It’s not socialism, its Capitalism Plus. Like all right-thinking people, we know that socialism is the worst of the worst of all evils, worse than cannibalism. So, when we force companies to advertise on Twitter, it’s not socialism, its Capitalism Plus. You can tell the Plus by the gold checkmark next to your Twitter account! The gold checkmark stands for quality, free speech absolutism, white immigrants who already speak English and all things truly American.
The EU is preparing to issue massive fines to Twitter for deceptive business practices.

From that article:
An email request for comment to X resulted in an automated response that said “Busy now, please check back later.” Its main spokesman reportedly left the company in June.
I’m sure that person was like, “Fuck this, nobody should put up with this.”
I now give you, labeled “FOR ELON MUSK’S EYES ONLY”, a list of people that Trump wants Twitter DMs for so he can have them thrown in gulag.
I don’t click on Twitter links on general principle, but I’ll give you a chance to persuade me to. Are there follow-up posts that indicate how this guy acquired that list?
Apparently, Trump’s “Secretary of Retaliation” had been circulating this list amongst the Constitutional Sheriffs Association, a group of batshit crazy red state county sheriffs who believe themselves to be the true supreme law of the land, and even they thought this was too batshit for them to touch with a ten-foot pole.
And he’s not being shy about it, either;
Well, Raw Story doesn’t need to worry about running that article, they’re already slated for the gulag. Along with quite a few other news organizations.

THE FEDERALIST
Two that immediately piqued my interest are Reuters and The Federalist. Reuters because what’s next, the BBC? It isn’t even an American news organization. The Federalist because it’s the crazies already eating their own. I mean one of the podcasts currently on their frontpage is titled “Inside the DC ‘Gulag’ with J6 Prisoners Tim Hale”
And I spotted Jared Kushner on the list.
Seems a visit by the FBI or Secret Service is in order or may have already happened.
On the other hand, the dude may have just been added to a loooong list of folks that need a good talkin’ to.
Or a good course of lithium.
Following hard on the heels of the shooting at the Pennsylvania rally Elon Musk declares his endorsement of Trump.
Musk’s endorsement (along with his track record since buying Twitter X) is the most comforting thing I’ve seen in American politics this summer.
Sure hope you’re right!
Why would anyone support him now? I prefer Presidents who don’t get shot.
