So much for free speech

I wonder why the guy who bought Tesla might not want the UAW represented on the platform he bought? I can't think of why that might be

Ah, the "free speech absolutist" doing completely free speech stuff.

Just as much of a Musk hater as the rest of them, but this was posted elsewhere. UAW changed their profile photo at the same time they announced the strike, which triggered the flag on the account. Apparently this is standard with all verified accounts until the photo can be reviewed.

Anywho, fuck Elon Musk!

Elon Musk is an incompetent sociopathic scammer who got very lucky.

He is not a great engineer, he's a dumbass who got fired from his own company for being incompetent. When the company was bought he raked in the cash from the shares he had, that's all. All his "great ideas" are face palmingly stupid.

He's petty and vengeful. When rescuers were risking their lives getting kids out of a cave denied his stupid idea, he called them a pedophile just because fuck you. That is musk in a nutshell.

He doesn't give a shit about anything or anybody but himself. He forces people to work in near slave like conditions. Do it or get fired and lose your house, or maybe deported. Unions? Fuck your unions, here is a chain lulz.

He. Lies. About. Everything. Probably the only person worse than Trump when it comes to continuous lying. Every promise he made is bullshit. Tesla will.... nope.

He was the bright light behind the decision not to use flame diverters (standard tech from the 60's) when his next SpaceX toy was launched, because it would take too much time to build and it would not be needed... a decision which utterly obliterated the launch platform, pelted even cars on a parking lot 5 kilometers away and polluted the entire surroundings. All because he needs to show the world how big his dick is. Then when the rocket blew up over Mexican territory (nice self destruct that didn't even work) everyone cheered because rockets.. should.... Blow up? Oh yeah, that was by design. WTF?

And as always, he just laughs it off and his fans laugh with him because "it's Elon man, he's cool! He walked in to Twitter with a kitchen sink!" And then proceeded to run the company he paid twice too much for into the ground, it now being worth, what? 30% from what he paid? So like 15% from what it was actually worth? From the second he started he just did the stupid. Firing so many people without even checking if they were needed, causing people to be locked in the buildings, the blue check mark scandal... twitter (not X) is a shit show and will be bankrupt very soon as muskie won't be able to afford to pay back the billions he had to borrow for his little toy.

Fuck everything about this guy, may he step on a Lego every day he gets out of bed.

Somewhere an Elon fanboy is explaining why this is peak free speech

If you are still on X, then you deserve the world you are struggling in.

It's time to put some of these billionaires in their place. Nationalize his shit, seize his assets, and revoke his passport and citizenship. Fuck Musk, sick of his childish attention seeking bullshit.

Hey the auto workers are striking now... can we just like... do a general strike already?

This dude is such a pussy. I wish he wasn’t terrified to fight Zuckerberg so we could all watch him get his ass kicked.

lol does he not realize that he has delegitimized any credibility his platform once held?

I'm sure they do not care.

It’s infuriating that people are beholden to this fucking loser.

"First they came for the trade unionists...."

Elon hates that auto workers have gone on strike? I'm shocked...

Capitalist does captitalist things.

Is elon turning into alex jones? That picture is not flattering

Fascism at its best

Xitter ! love it, now lexicon

Usage: Can’t wait to watch Xitter (pronounced Zit - ter) pop after Musk wrecks the train.

I'm excited for his alcoholism to catch up.

This whole incident probably took place from automation. As others have stated they changed the profile photo and the system needs verification. The software probably has a hash value for the photo and when they changed the photo the hash value changed triggering the chain of events. You guys are really hung up on hating him but he probably had nothing to do with it other than the initial design verification.

SCABS.

"To a request for comment, X only sent Ars an auto-response, saying, "Busy now, please check back later." (To be fair, in this case "check back later" is a good summary of what happened.)" 😂
