I suspect he'd ignore it like the one where he said he'd step down from Twitter (he hired a CEO but still obviously runs everything). He only seems to run polls when he thinks he'll get a particular result.

Ii mean he does only get the result he wants.

Sure he still ‘runs’ but he’s undoubtedly doing way less than he was and has undoubtedly given that task to the person he hired.
 
Elon Musk, Alex Jones, and Andrew Tate were on a Twitter Space with one of the Krassensteins.


Haven't skimmed it for spicy bits yet, but I assume there's heads exploding somewhere.

Problem is, I doubt Jen P-sucky has it in her to write a four thousand word dissertation of why you are wrong because racism. Either way, I'm glad my entertainment avenue is slowly rebuilding. What a glorious block it'll be.

It would have been based if he'd just done it without fishing for approval. Because if that poll had gone the other way, then what, Alex Jones isn't allowed on X just because 70% of people who responded to one straw poll don't like him?

I think Elon does it just to get the situation trending and spread along easier, building up a seething storm before it happens. If he just announced "Oh, yeah, Alex Jones is back" it wouldn't be so dramatic or amusing.

Audio only archive. They talk about the two sects of accelerationists equating the growing technological advancements as a gun and we should be afraid of who wields it. The dark ages, control everything accelerationism and the open source acceleration where technology should be open for human creation and innovation.

Obviously Elon thinks that the backlash from advertisers is outweighed by the value of Alex Jones being on the platform. Given some of the recent bans he has lifted I'm thinking his business model is certainly to garnish advertisers from the right-leaning political spectrum and sees more value in that side then the central or left leaning.

It is his platform after all, and he owes nothing to stake holders.

If we on the left don't like it, we can create our own "twitter", but we won't just like the right didn't either. Elon has made his decision and it will be interesting to see where it all leads to. Outrage and anger do sell, there is no denying that this brings eyeballs to the screens for his advertisers and some are more than welcome to stomach it; but many won't.

Man, he really is trying to make Xitter as unviable as possible for advertisers lol.

If any platform can crack the code and build a massive platform that isn't reliant on ad revenue, the world will be a better place. Everything being free but paid for by ads is literal cancer to society.

Just build your own twitter lmao

Or better yet, steal a twitter-like that was made good by people who didn't turn it into a political shithole. I'm sure there are many, and you're not completely fucked on that front.

pretty sure this was Gab(?)
 
I don't even care about Alex Jones, but if it makes the anti-freedom crowd fly into a frothing, psychotic rage then I'm happy.
 
I personally don't like Alex because he's just another gate keeper. But he's a funny gate keeper, I've gotten plenty of lols out of him.
