You only have that impression because he is embracing and amplifying the messages of your tribe. If he was using ownership of Twitter to repeat the messages of the left-leaning tribe you would condemn him as evil. So really this is as much about your pre-sold bias as anything else.

Revealing government corruption used to be the message of the left leaning tribe. Remember?

Elon is also a genius.

And as someone else stated, trump called them out and brought it to everyones attention, which is my the left had to attack Trump from every direction.

I assume this is the same reason why you think he's evil and needs to be investigated by the DOJ, correct?

Surely you have to be upset that he's taken away your tribe's most effective propaganda tool.

Elon is presenting facts for us to engage with how we see fit. There is no tribalist bias in analyzing what the government and former employees were doing regarding censorship

The fact that the federal government was instructing a major media platform how to control information being released to the public should be concerning to anyone that values freedom.

He is simply releasing information about what actually happened. If truth is not the message of your tribe….

Tboy has zero interest in things such as freedom except when it comes to his tribe (even though he totally doesn't act tribal)

How is he “playing” the far right? It’s a far right position to be interested in government mandated political censorship?



People who consider this an issue of political partisanship really don't have enough imagination.

Once you excuse government and corporate malfeasance because it's your team? You have lost the ability to intervene a few years later when the other team has the control of the same or similar tools of fascism. This 2020 scandal somewhat resembles what 2016 would have been if Facebook etc had been intentionally rigging the flow of political information.

Even if this didn't alter the outcome of the 2020 presidential election this is massive malfeasance or negligence by all of the reporters and media that knew or should have known.

Government is to be supervised, not trusted. Political partisans are to be questioned, not trusted. Media monopolies are to be questioned, not trusted.

The whole premise of American democracy was a government determined by the people who were informed by a press that was independent from the government. No matter how much a person hates a candidate or party we must have common legal and institutional behaviors.

It's just crazy to me how far we've shifted in my lifetime. Everything is political. CNN used to be considered the most trustworthy news source

News outlets used to want to be the first one to break a political scandal. Now they actively participate in covering them up. It's all very Orwellian

Amazing how fast the greenie/Tesla fanatics have turned on him now that he's been red-pilled.

Journalism used to be a blue collar trade. It has since morphed into an avenue to be part of the elite and powerful class.

I remember.

Then Fox News happened. Then CNN just reacted in the opposite direction.

Well it’s true,


Is it?

All he exposed is that once twitter made a decision about a topic breaking their ToS, “campaign” groups (not government) pointed out to Twitter where this topic was being spread on Twitter’s platform. Big whoop.

You do realize that Elon has primarily leaned toward the liberal side right. He actually had a rather good interview with Rogan (I think) about this subject. If he has released the documents (once James Baker was removed) to Talbi and Weis, he isn’t siding with a “Tribe”. But keep believing what the media is spoon feeding you.
