Is this the new status quo from America’s most free speech platform
It’s not a free speech platform. You got played. Reasonable people everywhere tried to warn you. Now you’ve invested time and effort into worthless social media accounts.

Don’t even have to be “reasonable” not to believe that the richest man in the world had less than democratic aims. “Reasonable” is a bar too high, you just have to not be a moron.

Not a new status quo. That’s how it has always been under Musk. They just didn’t care when it wasn’t them being targeted.

"We like unmoderated platforms", they say, not realizing it's just moderated differently.

MAGA begged Elon to purchase Twitter to own the Libs, but it just looks like he OWNS them now!

You make a really good point. The check marks let them make money from engagement. Now they're realizing he can remove them on a whim. He really does own them 🤔

I mean. No shit. Influencer economy is why people have stuck to Twitter. It’s hard to pack up and leave when your OnlyFans feet pics are only selling through Twitter.

Actively pushing conservative pundits and content creators off his right wing circle jerk platform is chefs kiss

She will be banned from there too. She's already been banned from Instagram. Once she crosses a line she'd be banned for hate speech.

He’s using that free speech trick he uses all the time on black and brown people, liberals, tesla critics and anyone who says “Cisgender”. Welcome to the club Nazi fucks

X was never free speech dumbass. Elon wants it to be molded into a paradise for him and only him.

You know it’s bad when the right are now screaming “muh free speech!” on the new twitter.

Oh god, without paid verification they’ll be confused for a satire account or for a legitimate non-Elon bootlicker one

They’re experiencing what journalists and others have over the last year. Wonder if they’ll empathize; wonder if the others will, too. Very curious if everyone will realize both sides have more in common with one another than they do with musk and his ilk. Unite, why not? Work out our issues together. Don’t have to agree on everything, I think most everyone wants people to be safe, enjoy life, and have the opportunity to prosper. Elon does not want those things for anyone except whom he deems worthy.

People. Call your local government officials. Tell them to get rid of their twitter accounts and switch to blue sky. It’s obscene how many local government agencies have accounts on twitter and are still using them. We need to speed up the exodus away from Xitter and this sort of anti-free speech behavior may be what pushes your local police, fire, parks, etc. to ditch X and migrate to Blue Sky instead.
