        Honestly I think there are at least 4 really REALLY good arguments for nationalizing spaceX. Fuckwit Musk is a national security risk.

        Literally, and I’ve seen people glorifying that Elon’s Xitter is a ‘free speech’ platform. It’s not even the closest thing to that. It’s a proprietary application where Musk can control whatever he wants and push any kind of narrative that he wants.

        I want to say yes, but to be honest Putin doesn’t even know how to turn on computer and he never uses internet.

    I kind of understand Reddit, but why do people hang in there with Twatter when there are currently three grown ass alternatives?

    The widow of Alexei Navalny, Yulia Navalnaya, has had her X account restored after it was briefly suspended for unknown reasons.

    This seems a misleading headline, unless what I’ve quoted was edited in. I’m no fan of Musk, but it could be something like a load of people (or bots) reported the account and an automated system put it into review.

      Funny how the automated system always catches musks political opponents and not any of his allies

        Yeah cuz musk is on Russia’s side and Russia is the one flooding the platform with bots. It doesn’t have to be conspiratorial levels of stuff, in another article they literally said it was an automated action due to reports. So Russia bots mass reported, it got removed, then someone at Twitter (probably not musk) reinstated the account after receiving a message about it.

    I used to joke that Republicans were Russian sycophants, bought and paid for by Putin himself to destroy America. But it’s not actually, and maybe never was, a joke.
