So "X" - nothing to see here. Elon's in control - Part XXX

I ain't gonna register to find out. It's really amazing how sh*t twitter is these days. Login to read an othwise publicly viewable thread? Sure... 👍👍

I see Elon is tweeting a photoshopped fake of Biden giving some medal or other to an immigrant who was accused (and cleared) of attacking police officers in NYC with an inflammatory caption about a free trip to California. Post was flagged by community notes and the scumbag removed them. He really is a wretched PoS.

Free speech absolutist strikes again

‘Contract terminated’. By text.

Presume this guy took the job knowing that there was a very high probability he’d be fired quickly if he displeased Musk. I doubt he thought it’d be this quick though.

It's some real Streisand Effect territory. Ideal publicity when you're looking for work after being fired from CNN on the same day Tucker got the boot from Fox.

That's hilarious as the first oopsie by Musk was to agree that he shaped his opinion of Lemon, and we can assume everyone else, by watching clips of him and not full segments.

Next throwing random stats at Lemon to proof that Twitter was far left.

Lemon doing a very strong interview and cornering Musk at the DEI issue.

He's a walking anti-drug advertisement.

It's an extraordinary morass of racist dogwhistles, with the overarching one being that this immigrant group would be mindlessly loyal because of handouts, which implies that they have no agency of their own and are lazy. Who is working the backbreaking jobs throughout the agricultural and construction sectors throughout those US states which are situated near the border, and for a pittance? Would be mightily surprising if it wasn't a huge amount of undocumented migrants.

But the other thing is that this trope of bussing in migrants to vote Democrat is awfully vague on what the process is to actually make them legal voters. Don't you have to be an American citizen to vote? How long does it take to become one? A quick google suggests at least a couple of years.

In short, if the Democrats weren't parachuting in all these brown people, the Republican party wouldn't be under threat as an electoral force, so we gotta keep them out, is the message, and makes me ask the question who the Republican party is supposed to represent.

Just a mess really. Lemon is awful, truly clueless on free speech which is grim considering how long he has been in the media.

Fav part was " I was fired you don't believe in Freeze peach" ....eh neither you do Don lol.

However Elon shouldn't talk about free speech either, he has laid down for numerous authoritarian regimes for censorship and some of the stuff been sugessted for Israel is horrific. Jack wasn't perfect, but I do think he truly believed in free speech considering how hostile he was to foreign nations when it comes to censorship and how he pushed back on Dems/Republican attempts to censor when he was in charge.

And here was me thinking his chumminess with Austrian neo-Nazi Martin Sellner was bad.

Have you watch the clip I shared? "I don't have to answer questions from reporters" are Elon's precise words. He wasn't composed at all, he fell apart under very light scrutiny.

That is nuts.

‘Entrenched single party rule’ that’s what the Republicans have achieved already. They’ve gerrymandered districts for generations, prevented any change in the Legislature that would erode their power. Anytime they are not in power, they stymie the Democrats, force government shut downs etc etc.

They ignore the power of Democrat Presidents Prevented Obama from appointing a Supreme Court Judge as he had ‘only a year’ left in office. Trump put two nutters in with a few months to go.

As for welfare, they give billions, if not trillions to corporate America in tax cuts, subsidies, cushy government contracts.

And on, and on, and on.

A hitjob? All he did was ask questions about information that Musk himself had put out there.

Maybe Musk should have done his homework on who Don Lemon was before agreeing to the interview? He probably thought he'd get a cushy interview the way Putin was interviewed by Carlson.
