  Hey, buddy, Stephen already did the weird goat sex bit a year ago. It was ridiculous then and it's ridiculous now. The difference is that Stephen is sometimes funny. You, my Anonymous Coward friend, are not. Lurk more.

  Your lack of a real rebuttal tells me what I need to know.

  You have zero understanding of how social media works. Social media is a zero-sum game. It is near impossible to profit from. Pre-Musk Twitter was never profitable except for two years, which is not even remotely enough to offset its existing losses. People were using adblockers on Twitter for years before Musk and it was still kicking. If you actually wanted to hurt Twitter, you would stop using it entirely, because that would drive down their metrics and make it appear to investors and stakeholders that the platform is unpopular enough to not bother with. Of course, you're a hypocrite with a Twitter addiction, like all Techdirtists, so you won't. But just saying.

  American Liberals are all about open borders and how no human being is illegal but are reflexively sympathetic to deportation when a successful immigrant isn't acting as a democratic party mouthpiece. What are the implications of this?

  I have failed to format the quote blocks. I must commit sudoku immediately.

  If you can’t see that, it’s Musk saying “For Twitter to deserve the public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally.”

  That’s not quite how things have played out. Elon has not only endorsed Donald Trump, appeared at his rallies, and turned ExTwitter into a non-stop propaganda-pushing campaign ad for Trump (while at the same time repeatedly pushing blatantly false and misleading claims via his own account), but he’s also become one of Trump’s biggest funders.

  Imagine how the GOP would react if a social media CEO had done that in support of Kamala Harris?

  Yeah man I can't imagine why Elon Musk fights against the people who have spent the last couple of years trying to destroy his site. It's a mystery.

  It was mentioned when you said "take it up the ass." I know Techdirt users will make up their own reality to "win" arguments once they're backed into a corner, but denying objective reality is just silly. Try harder, JMT.

  So having security cameras as a business is suspicious now?

  It's the LAPD. They might only be seconded by New York in how disastrously awful their police are. There is a Native American curse in big American cities that causes them to have the worst policing and the worst governors in history.

  Timothy you're cool but I think you might be the last person on the planet still fighting the violent video games fight. It's ok. Joe Lieberman is dead. You can go home. The war is over.

  NYC is cursed Native American land. A great hole formed in the Earth and spat De Blasio and Eric Adams out to torment the Americans living there. That is the only explanation I can think of for why the entire city is a nightmarish hellhole.

  Why do Americans bring up gay sex even when nobody else mentions it?

  Not how lasers work. The US government had a project during the Cold War to try and figure out space/laser weapons. They spent over a billion dollars on it. Nothing came of it.

  You are obsessed with a group of people who don't care about you.

  Do you want to see gay kids unable to marry each other?

  Yes, children shouldn't be able to marry until they're adults, whether or not they're gay. Nice Freudian slip, Anonymous Coward.

  Davec: I disagree with you about policing. Obsessed people under every single Cushing article: I HATE DAVEC!!! DAVEC IS A BOOTLOCKER!!! DAVEC IS A POLICE BOOTLICKER!!! He hasn't been active since early August, Anonymous Coward. As the kids say, Mr. Davec lives rent free in your head.

  I am not sure how both of you got it into your brains but I am not arguing with you. You have drummed up a fake argument inside both of your heads that you have somehow "won" by using third grade level insults. Big oof. You're not winning Insightful that way, That One Guy. I'll have you know I'm a heckin' valid LGBTQ ally and I fully back using state force against parents who object to their kids being told they were born in the wrong body. Why are you fighting me on this, bigot?

  I wasn't arguing anything. Go take your blood pressure medication, old geezer.
