He is a brilliant guy with flawed ideas - like separating children from old people ? Exaggerated risks of childhood vaccines? But if it is true that he was being censored by the govt, that is wrong. But if Twitter was censoring him because Twitter did not believe in his ideas, they were free to do so. Just like Elon and the Musketeers are free to censor brilliant scientists with whom they disagree. They can go play elsewhere. https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/jlockdowns/ Corporate viel works only if the underlying terms of usage is violated. For every action by private entity, one can't take refuge that corporate has an individual identity. It's not clear what terms did he violate. This isn't about whether you agree or disagree with his ideas.

I get that this thread is not about Covid, but since we are talking about JB and GBD now, I still think he is brilliant, but his views on Covid were extremely flawed. Hope you had a chance to read the link I posted. Good take-down of his ideas and of the GBD in general.

Khota Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 You are the most clueless person I have ever come across. @ravishingravi Elon Musk's Twitter bans CNN, NYT, WaPo journalists | CNN Business Banning journalists who disagrees with him. That is restoring free speech. Vijy and cricketrulez 2
Khota Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 Our resident proponents of free speech only believe in their side of story. Ban and intimidate others is their mantra. Vivek92 1
Khota Posted December 17, 2022 Posted December 17, 2022 Elon Musk is a free speech fraud. Elon Musk can ban all the journalists he wants from Twitter. But he's a free-speech fraud (yahoo.com)
Prakat Posted December 18, 2022 Posted December 18, 2022 Any rich man with famously ill-gotten and/or inherited wealth has an interest in maintaining a political and social climate that doesn't in any way threaten the existence of that wealth either through policy or taxation while there is growing discontent among the electorate. Why would anyone believe he is driven by any other agendum? BacktoCricaddict, Khota and Vijy 1 2
BacktoCricaddict Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 Elon's Twitter poll - "should I step down as Twitter CEO? Yes or No?" - he says he will comply with the results. So far 57-43 in favor of Yes. He'll probably let the poll go long enough until it tips in his favor, but it's interesting to see how he operates/trolls people. Khota 1

Khota Posted December 19, 2022 Posted December 19, 2022 Musk Remains Silent Eight Hours After Poll Supporting His Resignation As Twitter CEO Ends (msn.com) Man has no principles. He thought he would win. He had no idea of the blowback he would receive. After taking over Twitter they should ban him from taking over Mars. Vivek92 1

Why would anyone believe he is driven by any other agendum? So that's about 99.99999% of the world then? At least I haven't seen a billionaire rise to the top without making any sort of a special deal with some of the devils already in power, though the possibility exists hence 0.00001% left out for that.

Khota Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 Anyone on this forum who likes Elon has lost his mind. This man hates you because you are brown.
Khota Posted April 13, 2023 Posted April 13, 2023 NPR has left Twitter. Only Right wing fascist in the west and on this forum are left there.
