The reported posts included content that denied the Holocaust and promoted white supremacy. In response, Musk called the researchers a "bronze tier psy ops."

    Yea nooo. No one ever said that.

    On another note, you must really love being a living puppet.

      No one ever said that.

      The hell they didn’t! I’m not the person who made the claim nor am I a Conservative but you don’t get to make up your own reality.

      Calling for the genocide of whites.

      It’s STILL THERE NOW - https://twitter.com/hashtag/antiwhite?src=hashtag_click

      men

      certain political ideologies

      I mean this is as blatant as it can possibly be.

      praising the appropriation of Western European culture to “subvert” it and rewrite it

      banning books

      See that book on the table in front of Gov Newsom? It’s banned in California.

      It isn’t just the old literary classics either.

      https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/how-a-twitter-mob-destroyed-a-young-immigrant-female-authors-budding-career

      So what reality are you living in that this stuff doesn’t exist? It’s been blatantly all over Twitter and Tumblr for at least a decade.

      It doesn’t mean that Elon is great (he isn’t) or that Republicans are good (they aren’t) but denying reality isn’t good either.

        You’re tripping over edgelords on twitter?! Lmfao. I think that might be stupider than your favorite news outlet.

        Are you angry about the right banning books or are you only angry at unverified trolls on twitter and other non issues?

        Unhinged af. Dance puppet, dance.

          How about you knock off the ad hominems and admit that there are extremists on the left, although they do not represent the majority of their political group like right wing extremists now do. You’re moving the goalposts so hard right now, and I say this as someone pretty far left myself. We don’t need to deny reality to prove that we’re right.

        I’m with you on this, we can have a couple of crazies on the left and still be correct. No need to deny that they exist.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
