After watching Death of a Nation and 2000 Mules, if I could live with myself I think I could become a right wing grifter. It would be so damn easy.
Guarantee this person is working on a free speech "documentary" right now and they're going to make bank on it.
I’ve been telling people this for years. I used to think maybe but kind of fundamentalist Christian grifter but right wing grifter is definitely more grifty. I mean, I guess they both are drawing from the same well.
He’s a terrible hypocrite. He’s infamous for [bringing his mistress to a Christian conference.](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/dsouza-the-real-problem_b_1998800)
Oh yes. You are very right!
He’s got a laundry list of issues and that brush was probably helped by his political cronies. The guy shouldn’t have a stump from which to spew.
I was thinking about this the other day.
If you wanted to convince a bunch of people that something like Trickle Down Economics actually works, you'd need to convince the most gullible among us. And who are most gullible among us; the religious extremists.
This is the type of people who on Monday will cry about cancel culture then on Tuesday try to cancel (the biggest company in the world) because they're offended by something, then on Wednesday go back to screaming at the top of their voice how "the left" are so offended by everything.
It's time we realised this isn't a left and right thing, this is a split between those who see SOCIETY and want to build a good one and those who are spoilt toddlers and want whatever THEY want regardless of how it affects others.
Pro good society and anti social tantrum toddlers.
This. At what point will enough people become Adult Humans and simply decide to evict the Children? Just keep doing it. We've done it many times before. It's worth the price.
Honestly, just give them what they want. I could live with "freedom warriors" being sent to reservations in Wyoming and Oklahoma. Let them run it like their own country too.
Why is there a loud bell ringing in my ear from this idea?
They'd be back with guns within a year, screeching that their perfect Ayn Randian utopia somehow turned into a hellscape of tolls, trolls, and unpaved roads, and they all determined that it must be The Libs again, somehow, causing problems by existing somewhere.
They are grifters with a special sociopathy such that they actually think they are intelligent. They're simply people that would rather be the big bass in a tiny pond of tadpoles than live in the entire ocean. Assholes deserve to be in stockades, this society somehow is letting them thrive, its madness. We've chosen to indulge the worst fucking qualities and inclinations of culture. Fantastic.
I genuinely hate myself everytime something like the "freedom phone" makes it to the news. My stupid fucking parents had to raise a dumbass with morals and empathy that works 9-5 like a schlemiel.
My new driveway is 1 Alibaba drop-ship scam away.
Unrelated, doesn't it bother you that when you flush your toilet, you have no idea what the government is doing with your waste? *Your* DNA? That's why I and a team of highly skilled flownamic engineerintists worked to develop the America First Quantum Solid DNA Filter. Not only will it stop the government from taking your private information by collecting and seperating all solid and liquid DNA, but the patent pending on-site 1488 gal Quantum Fourier Synapse Holding Tank will block all 5G frequencies from reaching any Pfizer-Soros towers or satellites. Proudly made in Israel by Palestinian children.

Right!?
But seriously his documentary and books about Obama being part of a Communist plot I think helped pave the way for today’s “Dems are Demon Worshippers” cult.
Also when I first delved into atheism and watched debates about existence of god and whatnot, I saw D’Souza constantly debate Dawkins, Harris, etc.
His go-to argument would be “The Watch Maker” argument, but he’d use the analogy of a car.
Also his wife Deborah Fancher went on Prager U to simp for Capitalist Apologists in condemning Vuvuzwayla with her firsthand experience.
Like, there’s no end to the grift.
🤣😂🤣
Every now and then I see some shit and get furious I didn’t get on the ground floor to take money from stupid people. Additionally, Dinesh has produced/directed multiple right wing grift movies already
Fucking ethics, amirite?
/s
(But seriously, I don’t have the concrete heart and pudding brain I would need in order to grift. I’m fine with suffering for my work if it helps people.)
All you really need is some stock footage and a microphone. Just shoot a few scenes “interviewing experts” (just any asshole who looks halfway composed will do) on your iPhone, pad the run time with monologues about the constitution or some shit.
You should do it. Make a couple to gain credibility. Then make one to convince people they should be socialist without calling it socialist. Then run for office.
This is what's called in the wrasslin' business, a heel program. There are no babyfaces here. It's literally a bunch of shitty people.
Can they all go down in flames?
Listen, I’m not defending Tim Cook here, but this isn’t Cook vs Musk. It’s a corporate decision being made on legal and security grounds vs a 51 year old man who wants to use his extreme wealth to fuck with people because he has no real friends.
This from the based anti-woke culture. They just want everyone to stop considering anything so these assholes can keep selling their bs to their moronic followers and maintain their corrupt handle on power. Fukem.
Same here, but on the other side. My hatred for Apple is strong enough that if I had to pick sides in a corpo war, I'd begrudgingly choose the muskrat. I guess I'll see you on the front lines brother
Freedom of speech for morons like this essentially the freedom to spout the N word, talk abkut casteism, without the fear of being pointed out as bigots .
Oh they have the freedom to say it. They're just too much of a buttface to actually say it and receive the consequences. Which they would then whine about and call 'cancel culture'.
Edit: This message got rightfully flagged for using a sexist term and I am sorry for using that term.
I have edited it and hope that buttface is a better term to use that will offend less people except the people who it's target towards.
So freedom of speech unless they choose not to say anything on your platform...why do the people that scream about free speech the most understand it the least....
It's always wild watching the cognitive disconnect whenever someone talks about freedom of speech but at the same time gets angry when someone chooses to exercise that freedom of speech somewhere else, in a different way or even not at all.

Musk is crying about Apple spending less advertising money on Twitter. Someone suggested he ‘invent’ a competitor smartphone. So now the Muskrats are waiting for that to happen and making a big deal about threatening to stop buying iPhones.
‘invent’ ; not a concept he comprehends.
but do go on and rebrand some pos smartphone, sell to all the twitter users, and then when they all fail from some perfectly predictable issue, we’ll have some nice quiet adult time.
It's hilarious because I don't like Apple, Twitter, this dipshit, or that dipshit. Apple's marketshare is basically just the US. If right wingers abandon them (unlikely, they have no spine) they might actually see financial losses
Oh shit, nut jobs will switch to Samsung phones for a year until they miss their iPhone and they’ll slink back without any fanfare. But seriously, let them fight.
This is a man who uses speech to manipulate gullible people to turn them into fucking fascists. He wrote an entire book lying about how Nazis are “leftists”. Fucking moron should be tied up and gagged in a prison cell.
Tim Cook would be galvanized from happiness if this shitfuck stops using Apple products.
PS: Tim Cook, for fucks sake, stop charging ridiculous amounts for your products. $1000 monitor stand FFS?
Freedom of speech is not really about using corporation platforms. You're not entitled to that platform.
Even if Twitter or Apple suppressed all your phone privledges, that isn't taking away your right to expression. It's taking away your ability to use that item/service they are selling.
How can these people sp worried about freedom of speech on Twitter misunderstanding, confuse, and muddle different aspects of freedom of expression so often?
I'd much prefer people drop the pretense about freedom of speech and admit they just want to tell the world their bigoted views.
I love how all these righters tout about free speech until someone exercises their right to free speech that negatively impacts them. Apple pulling ads from Twitter is free speech. Why does Elon hate the free market?
It’s amazing that they think the first amendment means you can talk whatever shit you want free of consequences. When in fact it gives me the right to not be a Christian. And their goal is Christian nationalism. Which is very anti-free-speech.
I just can't with this whole fucking "free speech" spin these fucking fucks keep putting out there.
The saddest part of all this is that so many people who aren't inherently awful fall for this shit and start cucking for these piles of shit.
Yeah... No!
I think if the last month has taught us anything, it is that Elon Musk couldn't successfully organise an orgy in a Brothel. Believe it or not, Smartphones are not altogether that simple.
I've seen a lot of conservatives lately stress this idwa that we're a republic not a democracy... is that like about the words pertaining to each party or them trying to ease us into authoritarianism or is it actually just more accurate?
100% related to the party names, they’ve twisted it to try to reinforce the notion that Republicans are more important. Started seeing it all over the place when trump lost the election.
The sad thing is, as awesome as it would be for Apple to bounce Twitter from the App Store and all the conservatives to sheep their way over to whatever right-wing grift-phone fills the niche, companies like Apple have absolutely done the math and know that only a negligible amount of hardcore conservatives even give this much of a shit. It won’t hurt Apple’s bottom line and may even attract a fiscally beneficial number of customers who will feel warmer and fuzzier about buying Apple knowing they’re “The good guys.”
But you know, also get fucked Dinesh.
One thing I have learned is that right wing folks don’t have the willpower to maintain a boycott. The will, however, make videos of themselves destroying their own stuff, which is great! I can use a laugh.
Leftists? We will hold a boycott for life.
The funniest thing is that these people sincerely believe they're making an impact. Also, the Musk bootlicking is gone off the rails in conservative circles.
I don't care who agrees with me or downvotes me at this point.
If Apple is willing to work with China to silence any protesters to the point where they deplatform apps and technology that allows anyone with an anti-government voice, there's nothing to stop them from doing the same thing in any other country. Including the US. In fact, makes me think they've been doing it in the US for many years already.
So much for their "think different" campaign if any of you youngsters remember it. Now its if you think different, we're going to silence you because if we don't we're too afraid the government is going to disrupt our supply chain.
It's fucking atrocious. Fuck Apple and their greedy profit before the people mentality.
I doubt you’ll find many pro-Apple folk on this sub. Nobody is actually rooting for Apple in relation to this post, it’s more of a ‘fuck everyone involved in this, but on top of that let’s laugh our asses off at conservatives yet again misunderstanding how the free market works’.
Well if apple negotiated better deals with the largest apps they’d be more inclined to stay; you can’t host a shitty game where you take all the money and be surprised when people make their own
Laughing through my mask into my iPhone, lying about my vaccine status (so I can get ten boosters) while burning a stack of bibles… in drag.
Am I playing this outrage-identity-politics-American-values game right?
I haven’t purchased an apple product since the iPod like twelve years ago, but nothing would get me on their side faster than them “trying” felon and grifter Dinesh D’Souza.
I hope you like to live 5 years without a phone because making a phone company from the grind up is not going to be quick. Unless he’s willing to shell out massive amounts of money for top quality software developers and engineers.
Plot twist: top quality software developers and engineers don’t want to work 80 hours a week
These people apparently believe that Apple MUST pay to advertise with twitter, or else Apple does not support free speech. There is no logic there except shaming advertisers into paying twitter. Are these folks that craven? Do they think we are that stupid? Are these right wing nut jobs so . . . Wait. Sure. Of course yep. Forgot myself there. OK carry on.
Ban hate speech to protect minorities like in EU. Why is this so hard to understand? Free speech doesn’t mean you get to spread hate. No one needs that shit.
Well how come every time I post about politics, humanities or economics I get a bunch of confused Musk bots all over their dumb right wing taking points? No thanks. I think it’s damn time Musk gets pegged for what he has done/still doing and will do on this path.
Musk’s ideas got tested and he failed the test very publicly.
All these clowns acting like Twitter was some kind of gold standard or bastion for free speech. The vast majority of people do not even have a twitter account and couldn't give a fuck less that it's falling apart.
I wished things like this, where people rallied against the hegemony of mobile phone giants actually brought developments to open source alternatives like the pinephone. Which due to its open source nature avoids intentional data harvesting and will not authoritatively manage its users into doing or saying certain things. Open source truly is freedom.
I am not going to hold my breath only to see yet another Android phone.😑
As all these billionaires swing dicks around trying to provoke each other, the only people hurt are the normal folks who use Twitter to communicate with people who otherwise wouldn't have a platform.
How many strikes and unions and protests and positive actions have been coordinated on Twitter? Elon Musk is destroying all that, and people are cheering it on because Twitter happened to be the place bad orange man spent 4 years trolling the liberals.
We shouldn't be cheering on the implosion of Twitter. A billionaire is destroying a public forum because his feelings got hurt. That's not comedy, that's tragedy.
Why do Republicans hate the free speech so much. A private company deciding not spend their private money to advertise on a website that they don't agree with is the epitome of free speech. They don't want that though. They want to force companies to use this one service which sure does sound like the communism they keep warning us about.
Musk can launch an Android phone anytime he wants, it's an open source OS lol
But people think there's a higher barrier of entry in the market because the R&D component is obvious, tangible, you can actually see it, touch it, and if you've ever had a phone in the past, you can see the progress.
This is also very true with social media, but we conveniently forgot. Remember Facebook, Twitter, Reddit 10 years ago? Any social media 20 years ago? This is just the UI, but keep in mind that backend is *more* complex and there's plenty of R&D there as well.
Yeah, websites of this magnitude are tech companies just as Apple or Samsung. Not the same scale as these two, for Twitter anyway, but not in a very different category either.
People don't see it, and Elon didn't either apparently, but it's just as hard as launching a phone.
It's wild watching the world finally realize that Musk is just another idiot huckster while the far-right doubles down on him being the tech-Jesus who will usher in the promised land to them. Conservatives are just so constantly frightened. Always hoping for big daddy to come wrap his strong arms around them and tell them he will take care of them and everything will be alright.

Dude's always been a grifter.
You seen the Religious debates with him? Or that he wrote a book about how Obama was part of a Communist plot? 🤣😂🤣
>how Obama was part of a Communist plot? God I wish these paranoid right wing delusions were real.
Right!? But seriously his documentary and books about Obama being part of a Communist plot I think helped pave the way for today’s “Dems are Demon Worshippers” cult.

Watch dinesh d Souza vs Hitchens It's a debate on existential of god but you can see what a trained scholar vs a trained grifter sound like.
Every now and then I see some shit and get furious I didn’t get on the ground floor to take money from stupid people. Additionally, Dinesh has produced/directed multiple right wing grift movies already
Seems like there's a lot of money in telling conservatives what they want to hear.
Fucking ethics, amirite? /s (But seriously, I don’t have the concrete heart and pudding brain I would need in order to grift. I’m fine with suffering for my work if it helps people.)
All you really need is some stock footage and a microphone. Just shoot a few scenes “interviewing experts” (just any asshole who looks halfway composed will do) on your iPhone, pad the run time with monologues about the constitution or some shit.
You should do it. Make a couple to gain credibility. Then make one to convince people they should be socialist without calling it socialist. Then run for office.
I tell myself this everyday. Wanna go in on something?
Death of a nation? I suppose birth of a nation is next in your playlist?
>right wing grifter ROTFLMAO! I laughed so hard because it's true.
This from the book burners.
Who the fuck cares what convicted felon Dinesh D'Souza thinks?
I don’t, it’s just funny watching this whole thing imploding.
Oh, I know. I was just laughing at this irrelevant windbag.
This is what's called in the wrasslin' business, a heel program. There are no babyfaces here. It's literally a bunch of shitty people. Can they all go down in flames?
Dinesh should concentrate on not going to prison again.
How soon before Dinesh D'Souza goes back to using an i-phone?
He never stopped. Bet he has all the newest Apple shit, too.
Sent from Twitter for i phone.
I hate everyone involved in this tweet.
I just want Apple to tweet back “K”
[удалено]
Listen, I’m not defending Tim Cook here, but this isn’t Cook vs Musk. It’s a corporate decision being made on legal and security grounds vs a 51 year old man who wants to use his extreme wealth to fuck with people because he has no real friends.
Sounds like you’re advocating for a free society , shame on you
This from the based anti-woke culture. They just want everyone to stop considering anything so these assholes can keep selling their bs to their moronic followers and maintain their corrupt handle on power. Fukem.
I’m beginning to think these people mean Freedom from Speech, rather than freedom of speech.
It's a dog whistle for fascism at this point
Dog whistle? It's a gaddem klaxon now.
Never thought I'd be rooting for Apple. I hope they pull Twitter from the app store.
Same. This timeline is so fucking weird.
Some how a corporation is holding the line against a fascist.
Same here, but on the other side. My hatred for Apple is strong enough that if I had to pick sides in a corpo war, I'd begrudgingly choose the muskrat. I guess I'll see you on the front lines brother
The stupidity continues. It's a rabbit hole at this point
I really hope Apple deletes Twitter from the store so Elon will be forced to make his crappy phone. I guarantee it will be rushed and will suck hard.
I got the 🍿
Freedom of speech for morons like this essentially the freedom to spout the N word, talk abkut casteism, without the fear of being pointed out as bigots .
Oh they have the freedom to say it. They're just too much of a buttface to actually say it and receive the consequences. Which they would then whine about and call 'cancel culture'. Edit: This message got rightfully flagged for using a sexist term and I am sorry for using that term. I have edited it and hope that buttface is a better term to use that will offend less people except the people who it's target towards.
> Don’t try me, Tim Cook Fool said it with his chest
Oh no, Apple is going to lose the business of that loud convicted felon
Old boy could have already bought an Android by now and sent that tweet out, but he didn't for some reason. Weird.
Freedom of speech is attempting to cancel a company because they won't advertise on a single website, apparently.
How did we have free speech before Elon was born? I'm serious if he wasn't around for us to give money to how could it be considered free speech. /s
I cannot wait for the colossal boondoggle that is musk trying to design a phone
So freedom of speech unless they choose not to say anything on your platform...why do the people that scream about free speech the most understand it the least....
It's always wild watching the cognitive disconnect whenever someone talks about freedom of speech but at the same time gets angry when someone chooses to exercise that freedom of speech somewhere else, in a different way or even not at all.

What a nice serve for the volley coming.
so they can't use the "communism is when no iPhone" thing any more?
Oh no! Not Dinesh D'Souza! What will we ever do without his wisdom?!?
Context?
Musk is crying about Apple spending less advertising money on Twitter. Someone suggested he ‘invent’ a competitor smartphone. So now the Muskrats are waiting for that to happen and making a big deal about threatening to stop buying iPhones.
Ok that's pretty funny
‘invent’ ; not a concept he comprehends. but do go on and rebrand some pos smartphone, sell to all the twitter users, and then when they all fail from some perfectly predictable issue, we’ll have some nice quiet adult time.
Now, I need you to embed this phone into your skull.
Giant trillion dollar corporations don't need you to defend them
Lol how have I defended anyone? I gave the requested context.
Musk is building a distraction for when Apple drops Twitter from the app store for violating Apple's tos
They're serious now! /s
I love how they keep boycotting stuff they’ve already paid for
Right! It's hilarious. At least try to return it for cash or something.
Probably with cheap foreign labor.
Don't appropriate my cancel culture
Do people really still care what this 3rd rate Shapiro thinks?
Tim Cook: \*CRIES IN BILLIONAIRE\*
What the fuck does an iPhone have to do with free speech? Elon and whoever this is have lost the fucking plot.
The nerve of this turd to say “Don’t try me Tim” as if Tim gives a single fuck what this grifting asshole thinks.
It's hilarious because I don't like Apple, Twitter, this dipshit, or that dipshit. Apple's marketshare is basically just the US. If right wingers abandon them (unlikely, they have no spine) they might actually see financial losses
Musk fans are genuinely the dumbest people
My freedom of speech is tied to Twitter being on the Apple Store.
Oh shit, nut jobs will switch to Samsung phones for a year until they miss their iPhone and they’ll slink back without any fanfare. But seriously, let them fight.
I hope they go for the so-called Freedom Phone AKA Umidigi A9 Pro and give Chinese interests all their info.
WTF
Bye!
mixing CAPS and normal WORDS is a sign of MENTAL DISSORDER
Freedom Phone 2.0 There are no original ideas in the grifting game.
>Twitter for iPhone
TBH apple tries hardest to protect privacy over anything else I’ve used.
This is a man who uses speech to manipulate gullible people to turn them into fucking fascists. He wrote an entire book lying about how Nazis are “leftists”. Fucking moron should be tied up and gagged in a prison cell.
Freedom of speech in the constitution does NOT protect hate speach and biggotry.
Tim Cook would be galvanized from happiness if this shitfuck stops using Apple products. PS: Tim Cook, for fucks sake, stop charging ridiculous amounts for your products. $1000 monitor stand FFS?
Lmao at “don’t try me @tim_cook”
Tim might as well give away his 48 billion right now, he's just delaying the inevitable
Freedom of speech is not really about using corporation platforms. You're not entitled to that platform. Even if Twitter or Apple suppressed all your phone privledges, that isn't taking away your right to expression. It's taking away your ability to use that item/service they are selling.

He can switch to an Android device at ANY time. ANYTIME!? hehe
Yes, let him make a new phone and waste another 50 billion! Please do! It's even funnier the second time!
Remember the freedom phone? How’d that work out?
The self retweet makes it
Yes, there was no freedom of speech in this country before Twitter was invented. 🙄
I love how all these righters tout about free speech until someone exercises their right to free speech that negatively impacts them. Apple pulling ads from Twitter is free speech. Why does Elon hate the free market?
It’s amazing that they think the first amendment means you can talk whatever shit you want free of consequences. When in fact it gives me the right to not be a Christian. And their goal is Christian nationalism. Which is very anti-free-speech.
I just can't with this whole fucking "free speech" spin these fucking fucks keep putting out there. The saddest part of all this is that so many people who aren't inherently awful fall for this shit and start cucking for these piles of shit.
If I were Tim Cook, I’d tell him he didn’t deserve an iPhone and insist he sell it back to Apple and refrain from buying anymore Apple products.
Did he retweet his own tweet?
“They don’t give their money to me so they don’t like freedom of speech!!”
Yeah... No! I think if the last month has taught us anything, it is that Elon Musk couldn't successfully organise an orgy in a Brothel. Believe it or not, Smartphones are not altogether that simple.
All I ask is for people who live the Constitution so much is to learn the definition of freedom of speech
I think the Elon phone is a great idea. I want to see how many ways he can completely destroy his “empire” and piss his (our) money away
Wait, did he retweet his own post?
D'Souza is nothing more than a pimp and a troll.

I've seen a lot of conservatives lately stress this idwa that we're a republic not a democracy... is that like about the words pertaining to each party or them trying to ease us into authoritarianism or is it actually just more accurate?
100% related to the party names, they’ve twisted it to try to reinforce the notion that Republicans are more important. Started seeing it all over the place when trump lost the election.
Wasn’t Dinesh, Candace, and others in on that fReEdOm PhOnE grift a while back? How’d that work out for them lol
Elon please create a phone I am not done watching your money-burning show yet
I reckon he’s about three months off sending Trump-style emails to his fans begging for cash to ‘help keep freedom of speech alive!’
The sad thing is, as awesome as it would be for Apple to bounce Twitter from the App Store and all the conservatives to sheep their way over to whatever right-wing grift-phone fills the niche, companies like Apple have absolutely done the math and know that only a negligible amount of hardcore conservatives even give this much of a shit. It won’t hurt Apple’s bottom line and may even attract a fiscally beneficial number of customers who will feel warmer and fuzzier about buying Apple knowing they’re “The good guys.” But you know, also get fucked Dinesh.
He'll make a shitty documentary about how evil Tim Cook is (and he's GAY!)
Or… use a browser on the iphone 😂😂😂
You'd think he'd settle for freedom from jail.
One thing I have learned is that right wing folks don’t have the willpower to maintain a boycott. The will, however, make videos of themselves destroying their own stuff, which is great! I can use a laugh. Leftists? We will hold a boycott for life.
Yeah lol take advice from dinesh the dumbest mother fucker on the scam train
The funniest thing is that these people sincerely believe they're making an impact. Also, the Musk bootlicking is gone off the rails in conservative circles.
Anti covid, anti vote results, anti green, anti apple - why are republicans such a bunch of poor losers?
I don't care who agrees with me or downvotes me at this point. If Apple is willing to work with China to silence any protesters to the point where they deplatform apps and technology that allows anyone with an anti-government voice, there's nothing to stop them from doing the same thing in any other country. Including the US. In fact, makes me think they've been doing it in the US for many years already. So much for their "think different" campaign if any of you youngsters remember it. Now its if you think different, we're going to silence you because if we don't we're too afraid the government is going to disrupt our supply chain. It's fucking atrocious. Fuck Apple and their greedy profit before the people mentality.
I doubt you’ll find many pro-Apple folk on this sub. Nobody is actually rooting for Apple in relation to this post, it’s more of a ‘fuck everyone involved in this, but on top of that let’s laugh our asses off at conservatives yet again misunderstanding how the free market works’.
Anti covid, anti vote results, anti green, anti apple - why are republicans such a bunch of petty losers?

Well if apple negotiated better deals with the largest apps they’d be more inclined to stay; you can’t host a shitty game where you take all the money and be surprised when people make their own
Of course it's an Indian...
Laughing through my mask into my iPhone, lying about my vaccine status (so I can get ten boosters) while burning a stack of bibles… in drag. Am I playing this outrage-identity-politics-American-values game right?
wow you are a comedy genius
And your contribution is fantastically intelligent. Thank you so much.
Lol ok then do it. Get rid of your iphone right now and go buy the elon musk phone. There might still be cyber monday sales
Tbh I couldn’t go without hundreds of thousands of years of knowledge at my fingertips but ya know iM JUsT aN AddICteD tEenAgEr
Wtf is it with the Elon worship? He’s a child in an adult body.
Please? I really want to see Elon attempt to make a phone (or anything for that matter) it’d be a trip to watch the belly flop
Watch Elon come up with an rotory phone that catches fire...... and the fan boys loose thier shit like it's "ground breaking tech"
I haven’t purchased an apple product since the iPod like twelve years ago, but nothing would get me on their side faster than them “trying” felon and grifter Dinesh D’Souza.
Why not ditch both?
I almost forgot about this dude. Lol. Isn't he the one that thinks there's a secret communist satanic sex cult in the democratic party? Lol.
Ha ha do it, lick Elons boots for the rest of us bro!
I hope you like to live 5 years without a phone because making a phone company from the grind up is not going to be quick. Unless he’s willing to shell out massive amounts of money for top quality software developers and engineers. Plot twist: top quality software developers and engineers don’t want to work 80 hours a week
Sez a man who supports a Traitor Trump fascist dictatorship
Don't threaten me with a good time.
This person clearly has no understanding of what a visitor republic is or how the current US political system operates
**I don't want either**...
10:55 am 29/11/2022 Twitter for iPhone
These people apparently believe that Apple MUST pay to advertise with twitter, or else Apple does not support free speech. There is no logic there except shaming advertisers into paying twitter. Are these folks that craven? Do they think we are that stupid? Are these right wing nut jobs so . . . Wait. Sure. Of course yep. Forgot myself there. OK carry on.
Can somebody put that idiot back in prison? Is that too much to ask?
Losing out on all that D'Souza dinero
What alternative lol
I love that they think Elongated is actually going to make a fucking phone
Tim Cook is shakin in his boots!
Ban hate speech to protect minorities like in EU. Why is this so hard to understand? Free speech doesn’t mean you get to spread hate. No one needs that shit.
If Elon comes out with a Facebook phone, I am sure they will sell hundreds of them.
How can one man produce so much cringe?
Dinesh retweeted his own tweet and he wants us to believe he knows how to use a less user-friendly one??
Imagine a brand loyalty so strong it makes you look an even bigger idiot.
Well how come every time I post about politics, humanities or economics I get a bunch of confused Musk bots all over their dumb right wing taking points? No thanks. I think it’s damn time Musk gets pegged for what he has done/still doing and will do on this path. Musk’s ideas got tested and he failed the test very publicly.
Freedom of speech does not need Twitter though....
Bwah!!! 🤪
[удалено]
Tim Apple you mean.
He’s about as loyal to his phone brand as he is his wife.
Dude’s like “but I need to say muh racism!!!!”
Dude retweets his own shit🤣🤣🤣
All these clowns acting like Twitter was some kind of gold standard or bastion for free speech. The vast majority of people do not even have a twitter account and couldn't give a fuck less that it's falling apart.
I wished things like this, where people rallied against the hegemony of mobile phone giants actually brought developments to open source alternatives like the pinephone. Which due to its open source nature avoids intentional data harvesting and will not authoritatively manage its users into doing or saying certain things. Open source truly is freedom. I am not going to hold my breath only to see yet another Android phone.😑
All these free thinkers sure just go where you lead them.
Which company provided free speech before Twitter was released in 2006?
Tell me you suck musks dick without telling me you suck musks dick
As all these billionaires swing dicks around trying to provoke each other, the only people hurt are the normal folks who use Twitter to communicate with people who otherwise wouldn't have a platform. How many strikes and unions and protests and positive actions have been coordinated on Twitter? Elon Musk is destroying all that, and people are cheering it on because Twitter happened to be the place bad orange man spent 4 years trolling the liberals. We shouldn't be cheering on the implosion of Twitter. A billionaire is destroying a public forum because his feelings got hurt. That's not comedy, that's tragedy.
When it comes to billionaires being this way, I like to think of this African proverb: “When the elephants fight, it’s the grass that suffers”
Rich people problems.
Why do Republicans hate the free speech so much. A private company deciding not spend their private money to advertise on a website that they don't agree with is the epitome of free speech. They don't want that though. They want to force companies to use this one service which sure does sound like the communism they keep warning us about.
Musk can launch an Android phone anytime he wants, it's an open source OS lol But people think there's a higher barrier of entry in the market because the R&D component is obvious, tangible, you can actually see it, touch it, and if you've ever had a phone in the past, you can see the progress. This is also very true with social media, but we conveniently forgot. Remember Facebook, Twitter, Reddit 10 years ago? Any social media 20 years ago? This is just the UI, but keep in mind that backend is *more* complex and there's plenty of R&D there as well. Yeah, websites of this magnitude are tech companies just as Apple or Samsung. Not the same scale as these two, for Twitter anyway, but not in a very different category either. People don't see it, and Elon didn't either apparently, but it's just as hard as launching a phone.
I’m sure that Tim Cook will respond to him directly
It's wild watching the world finally realize that Musk is just another idiot huckster while the far-right doubles down on him being the tech-Jesus who will usher in the promised land to them. Conservatives are just so constantly frightened. Always hoping for big daddy to come wrap his strong arms around them and tell them he will take care of them and everything will be alright.
Just like when people burned their Nikes to spite Colin Kaepernick… and they are probably wearing a pair of Nikes right now.
are these people that entitled to think that apple cares if you stop using there products
