I wonder what self-proclaimed "free speech absolutists" Elon and Vivek are saying about Twitter's direction being decided by the ADL.
Oh right, Vivek is onlytweetingX-ing about his own campaign surging.

{@Safety | 12 September 2023}
Tomorrow the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) will release a report on how X allegedly moderates content. While we wish the CCDH would have sent us the full report for a fair review, the choice was made to share their purported findings with journalists.
To be clear, we will continue to protect free expression and simultaneously keep our platform safe for users. We have strong content moderation policies and enforcement in place to monitor the ~500 million posts that are created each day on X. We either remove content that violates our policies or label and restrict the reach of certain posts. By restricting the reach of a post, we significantly reduce the number of times a piece of content is seen to protect our users.
Based on the limited information we’ve seen, the CCDH is asserting two false claims – that X did not take action on violative posts and that violative posts reached a lot of people on our platform.
Firstly, from what was shared with us, we did enforce the posts that violated our policies. Second, the CCDH is misrepresenting how many people have viewed the content, by incorrectly reporting the follower counts of the post authors, rather than reporting the number of people who were exposed to the posts. By not using impression data the CCDH is misleading the public and making unsubstantiated assertions about the user activity on X.
X’s number one priority remains: to keep our users safe and our platform healthy. We actively listen to our communities and work closely with outside groups. Our doors are always open to organizations who want to work with us to strengthen our policies and improve our approach. And when the full report is released tomorrow, we will review it and we will take action as needed.

BREAKING: SEC SUES ELON IN TWITTER STOCK PURCHASE CASE
Another witch-hunt has started.
The SEC, which has been investigating Elon’s 2022 purchase of Twitter shares, is now suing to force him to testify and comply with their subpoena.
This is yet another attack on Elon by the ‘alphabet organizations’.
Here are a few of the others:
1. TESLA: The DOJ and the SEC claimed Musk used millions of dollars from Tesla to secretly build himself a ‘spacious glass structure’ labeled as 'House for CEO Elon Musk.' (Not making this up)
Elon replied: “This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. Where is this house!? Metaphors don’t count!”
2. X/TWITTER: X got in trouble with the Biden Administration after refusing to hand over Trump’s personal Twitter data and information to prosecutors.
The information included:
- Trump’s use of the account,
- Whether others had access to it
- Whether he might have written draft tweets that he left unposted.
Twitter initially resisted complying with the search warrant, arguing that the order violated Trump’s constitutional right to free speech. This resulted in a federal judge holding the company in contempt and fining it $350,000.
3. SPACE X: The DOJ sued SpaceX for discriminating against refugees in the company’s hiring process.
They claim the company discourages refugees from applying for positions, giving their applications unfair consideration and refusing to hire them even if they were deemed qualified applicants.
Yep, SpaceX was attacked by the DOJ for not hiring enough Americans. What’s ironic is that the DOJ is rarely allowed to hire non-Americans.
Why did all these attacks begin after @elonmusk acquired X and began his fight for Freedom of Speech?

Elon wants your entire financial life hosted on X.
https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/27/elon...-x-report.html
X owner Elon Musk is attempting to create a future in which X users can use the platform for their entire financial lives, according to a report from The Verge.
The plan, which Musk told his employees Thursday, is to roll out the feature in 2024. CEO Linda Yaccarino also said that it is a “full opportunity” in the next calendar year, The Verge reported.
“When I say payments, I actually mean someone’s entire financial life,” Musk said in the meeting, according to audio The Verge obtained. “If it involves money. It’ll be on our platform. Money or securities or whatever. So, it’s not just like send $20 to my friend. I’m talking about, like, you won’t need a bank account.”

What is with Drudge? He's linking a Media Matters article as the main headline for his site right now. He seems to really have it out for Musk.
The Drudge Report of today bears no resemblance to the Drudge Report of the 90's or 00's. They are all in on the state narratives, whatever they need to be. The viewership and ad revenue is way down, too. Whatever you think of Musk, he allows a place where the official narrative can be questioned... So, his reputation must be destroyed.
"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty; for liberty is an acknowledgment of faith in God and His works." - Bastiat
"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere." - Voltaire
I remember not too long ago that he used to link Infowars articles all the time, and even went on Alex's show. Then he went anti-Trump... which I don't really have a problem with.... but the constant $#@!ting on Musk all the time is really bizarre and pisses me off. I get he is a flawed person and all, but he has done more to advance the cause of free speech than anyone else I can think of. The more that people like Drudge constantly hate on him the more it makes me appreciate all that he done.
