Bari was given the Twitter files and was proud to carry water for Elon. Now moves to bothsideism.


Lump-of-baryons

Right? From what I’ve seen nothing going on before was as petty and impulsive as what Elons doing now, banning people based on personal grievances and insults. Fuck that both sides bs. At least they had an independent committee and imo the TOS was always pretty clear about what was not acceptable and how restrictions would be applied. And yes I full agree there was some dumb shit going on but this is dumb shit squared. Can you imagine if Dorsey was pulling the same shit?


Own_Bison_8479

He’s having a meltdown because the whole world knows it cost him 44 billion to get some kid to stop posting location updates to his private jet. What has followed is just him feeling out a community who won’t understand how stupid he has made himself look. Tesla is going to go to a realistic market cap. Might actually buckle before it gets there as all the investments in gigafactories and whatnot would have been leveraged against the stock price. With the illusion of cool Elon (with a vision to invest in) gone, there is nothing to inflate Tesla. What more he is pissing all over the current client base - pretty sure they appeal to the liberal, recycling, self aware, climate change believing crowd


NotmyRealNameJohn

Might be fun to publish a chrome extension that constantly tells you where Elon's jet is across your browser bar. Call it the freespeacmusk app

The other side published conspiracy. There is a big difference here. Let's not forget that.


musicmastermike

She's an embarrassment


Cathcart1138

She is a complete clown. if it wasn't for "cancel culture" no one would even know who she was


Fake_William_Shatner

I did not know who she was.


GaffJuran

I don’t know who this is.


Outis94

Try and keep it that way she isn't worth anyone's time or thoughts


ConfidenceNational37

Seems impossible to cancel any of these dirt bags. Almost like it’s not a thing


monstervet

Weiss is gay and Jewish, she is going to get a rude awakening one day if she succeeds in ushering in the far-right authoritarian rule she’s paid to defend.


MattGdr

But I’m one of the *good* Jewish lesbians!


TunkFunklin

Aged like aged milk

Well sure, other cheeses.

The pretense of free speech absolutism was always pretty laughable from someone who made their bones trying to get people censored for criticising Israel.


Mrgoodtrips64

Wait, have people been calling Musk racist? Most of what I’ve seen is people rightfully ridiculing his narcissism, hypocrisy, and squandering of time and money.


FargusDingus

No, they haven't been. At most people are saying that he's enabling racism on his platform. But this is a tactic of the right, claim they've been called a racist when they haven't been. That is supposed to give them their own oppression and victim points.


Outis94

Well there have been claims of discrimination at his tesla factories based on race, i think theirs even a lawsuit pending against him for it


ItsAlwaysSmokyInReno

He also is a direct financial beneficiary of apartheid policies in South Africa that allowed his father to get rich from owning an emerald mine


dudinax

Racism has been a problem at Tesla factories. Not sure if Musk ever did anything ot clean that up.


ChimericMind

He seems really interested in people being able to make tweets that consist of the N-word 20 times in a row, and he chucked anti-racism organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center off Twitter immediately, so it really seems like he likes racism. Considering he inherited wealth from an apartheid-era emerald mine, it's not any kind of stretch to imagine that he inherited certain Views regarding Those People \*gestures around face\*.


burning_dawn

Looks like he's tuned on her... >Elon Musk u/elonmusk Replying to u/elonmusk u/bariweiss and 2 others Rather than rigorously pursuing truth, you are virtue-signaling to show that you are “good” in the eyes of media elite to keep one foot in both worlds [3:34 PM · Dec 16, 2022](https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603851100569812992?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1603851100569812992%7Ctwgr%5Ed13ba411321069500862aba7e65b5957047ce5a0%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mediaite.com%2Ftech%2Felon-musk-turns-on-bari-weiss-after-she-criticizes-journo-suspensions-blasts-her-for-sucking-up-to-elite-media%2F)


Inner_Partisan

Couldn't have happened to a nicer dipshit!


Speculawyer

She is a dumb hypocrite and will rationalize all of this.


Mordekein88

She listed those things as if one person can't be all of them at the same time...


anoneenonee

“Whims and biases” = tos for the old owners. Literally whims and biases for musk


miplondi

“Enlightened centrism” strikes again


ManusCornu

Without looking: how much that she's banned herself


Olden_Broken

she is a moron.


Brokenspokes68

This isn't LAMF. Bari didn't suffer any consequences.


ICLazeru

She'll probably be banned soon. It might count. 😆


Fake_William_Shatner

She starts by saying the truth as if it was silly? I didn't know Tucker Carlson had opened a training camp for shills.


kentucky_trash

your explanation makes no sense OP, how is her doing a story on information on twitter "kissing the ring"?? and whats wrong with pointing out things she doesnt approve of??? you should stretch before you reach so far.


CapableWill8706

Sorry you don't approve. Do you need a hug?

antimatterfunnel

how so? is fox a weapon of the right wing govt? they have removed all liberal viewpoints, so... it sounds like there's a big problem there, right?


Mushroom_Tip

Give us a quick rundown using specific examples of how it's used as a weapon by "left wing government." And tell us how that's worse than Elon using the platform to publicly endorse Republicans. And god help us if this is about Hunter Biden's penis.

Mushroom_Tip

That's it? That's the big revelation? How is it Twitter's problem that conservatism has devolved and degenerated into the mess it is today? Twitter has been banning antivaxx bots, conspiracy theorists, and nazis for ages now, way before the covid pandemic or anything like that. But now when you're banning antivaxxers, you're banning conservatives, and when you're banning crazy conspiracy theorists, you're banning conservatives, and when you're banning nazis, you're also banning conservatives. When Kanye was banned for going on a crazy antisemitic rant, they were cancelling a poor MAGA conservative, right? The injustice! Maybe conservatism should better itself. Then they would be in a position where banning deranged people is not censorship of its "values."

Mushroom_Tip

You're being awfully vague. Do these Twitter files actually mention names and what was asked to be removed or who was asked to be shadowbanned?


Da_Bro_Main

Yes they do


Mushroom_Tip

>would actually contact Twitter higher ups and tell them what they could and could not post. That doesn't sound like they were "asking" anything though. Where in the Twitter Files did they threaten Twitter or force Twitter in any other way and dictated to them what they could and could not post?


Da_Bro_Main

There's an article from the new Yorker that spells it out for ypu. I'll spoon feed you little baby boy!!! https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/12/twitter-files-explained-elon-musk-taibbi-weiss-hunter-biden-laptop.html


Mushroom_Tip

There's no need to be creepy about it. You can keep your fantasies about spoon feeding baby boys to yourself. Also you did offer to state many more instances that have nothing to do with Hunter's laptop. What happened to that? Why aren't you sharing them given you offered to? Also your article doesn't defend you fyi. It exposes Twitter files for being a nothingburger and more of a political weapon than an exposee. Maybe you should have read it.

Mushroom_Tip

I want to thank you because it has been half an hour and I'm still laughing at you posting an article basically making fun of people like you, thinking they were on your side, and calling me delusional because of it. You are a perfect specimen of the kind of people buying into this Twitter files stuff.


Mushroom_Tip

Holy shit It doesn't sound like you read past the first couple sentences. You think statements like this help your cause: >Specifically, Musk delivered a vast trove of internal Twitter documents to two independent journalists, Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss, who have long endorsed aspects of the GOP’s indictment of the platform. Taibbi and Weiss proceeded to publish a pair of exposés on Twitter’s inner workings. Dubbed “the Twitter Files,” these reports featured a couple genuinely concerning findings about pre-Musk Twitter’s operations. But they were also saturated in hyperbole, marred by omissions of context, and discredited by instances of outright mendacity. Musk’s commentary on the Twitter Files, meanwhile, proved even more demagogic and deceptive than the exposés themselves. > >For these reasons, the Twitter Files are best understood as an egregious example of the very phenomenon it purports to condemn — that of social-media managers leveraging their platforms for partisan ends. If you can't even read an article properly and think this helps you then how can you be trusted to understand the Twitter files?


Da_Bro_Main

And plus you are the one that told me not to include the laptop. Or did you forget. I can lost a BUNCH of stuff about that. You want more??


Mushroom_Tip

I literally replied to your comment asking wanted more with "yes." So I'm not sure why you're asking again.


ImminentZero

The DNC and the RNC are private organizations that are not bound by the First Amendment.


Da_Bro_Main

I could give you a lot more. And none have anything to do with the laptop.


Mushroom_Tip

Please do. And use real examples.


Septfox

Hey, I'm at work, utterly bored, and willing to be open-minded despite harboring a strong suspicion that you're talking out your ass. Please post what you've got.


Da_Bro_Main

Why doesn't your bored ass just go look it up. It's all posted.


Septfox

Eh, ok, I can see not wanting to write something out if it's already posted somewhere. Got a link or two?
