I understand that but it's also a good reason for Elon to stop sticking himself out there half-assing it all the time as CEO because it damages company.
absolutely. he's hobnobbing with some of the vilest people online

You aren't wrong. But counterpoint: Fuck Elon

More specifically, at one point he tweeted out that people should report objectionable content directly to him. Which is dumb in its own right. The fact that he doesn't have any knowledge (or care) about who the bad actors on his site are just demonstrates how dumb he is for thinking he should be the one to handle moderation... Even if he actually had time to do it effectively.

This is a long listen/watch, but I think this debate demonstrates the delusion of the guys who wrote the Twitter Files. It seems like they were perhaps just used by Elon to promote an untrue narrative about the former Twitter


Here's a sample

i'm at like 14 mins in

the guy is complaining 'no one knew about this process' 'an app was created for take down requests'

ok..and? why would anyone necessarily know about the internal processes of private companies? lol

half hour in now. the david guy is reasonable but its all 'in my view' opinion based stuff. 'we can see the requests being made to twitter but don't know what they capitulated to'

wouldn't that be the entire point though? if there is evidence of the white house (either one) pressuring to take down covid related things, isn't it important to know if twitter actually did so if you want to say they handled things inappropriately?

the argument around 50 minutes is kind of big and really being glossed over by the twitter files guys.

destiny is right that the gov't had been talking about the threat of russian disinformation for 5+ years at that point. connecting the dots and making the assumption that the FBI meeting with twitter/fb was specifically about the hunter biden story and they knew it was credible is kind of silly.

and he's also right, fox & other outlets wouldn't run the story because they didn't have time to verify it before the election. so the idea that the NYP did so is def wrong.
