Look, I'm not gonna lie. If Elon somehow skirts the 'US born rule' to run for prez and runs against Trump, he's got my vote.


That would be a huge mistake.

His words clarify absolutely nothing. It was always going to be shareable, but Twitter will limit its reach.

Apparently Daily Wire is going to still post it and see if Twitter does throttle it down or not. Musk was smart with his wording as they told DW that they would allow it to stay up, but even their followers wouldn't see it in their feed.

I hope they don't throttle it, but I'm looking forward to someone posting it on here later.

On a side note...I'm looking forward to seeing if Twitter will allow the burning of ghey/tranny/alphabet group flags and gear.

Obviously, it has to be something people buy and burn their own, as the "hate crime" police will come after them. Will be an interesting thing to see tested by some baws.

Idiots are screaming "Twitter is still restricting and shadow banning content!"

They're screaming that even after Musk overpaid by ~$15-20B to pay for their "privilege" to tweet freely. Musk paid $44B to ensure YOUR free speech! Wake up!

Idiots like the OP are the reason we cannot have anything nice.

For f*#kssakes, would you prefer TWTR's preceding alternative?

The movie is visibility limited, meaning it only exists on Daily Wires feed and can't be retweeted or replied to on Daily Wires feed. Plus there's a disclaimer hiding the video that says this may violate our policy on hateful content that you have to acknowledge. Elon said this...

It will be advertising-restricted, as advertisers have the right to decide what content their ads appear with, which will impact reach to some degree



He's already capitulating content moderation to the demands of advertisers which was the stated focus of his WEF bitch CEO. And she's not even officially on the job yet.

I disagree. I think that Twitter was Elon's shiny new toy. Now that he's bored with it he'll move on to something else and let the ProgFilth that he hired to run it have a free hand.


I tend to agree. The prog CEO will bring the corporations back and Elon just wants to see $$$.

Twitter will go back to being shite.

We’re updating the system tomorrow so that those who follow @realDailyWire will see this in their feed, but it won’t be recommended to non-followers (nor will any advertising be associated with it)


He doesn't address that its blocked from being shared or commented on. This reads as if those who follow Daily Wire will get it in their feed which might suggest it will still be share limited (no retweets or comment @'s)

This strikes me as people who have leverage over Elon realizing there is a potentially significant cultural moment (BL, Target, Pride Month) and deciding to flex to try and stop the momentum.

Elon fixed it and tweeted it out to 140 million followers. Rumours are that the head of safety is out.

Will be interested to see if the incoming CEO is pressured by her leftist friends to reneg on offer.

Based Elon [ON] off

Good stuff.

Advertisers should be able to check boxes on who they want, and so should customers. Ie...i wouldn't want to see ghey pride shite. So Twitter needs to figure out how to personalize ads better if they are blaming it on advertisers.

Ie...bud light may not want to have their ads showing on this video, but their competitors who want/need to take advantage of their "fail" should be able too.

Also on a side not...DW should have done this thru the wknd not just 24hrs.

They were.

They were called out (rightfully so imho).

Elon corrected course.

Good on him.
