    only the blue checkers who already pay for it will. everyone else will move to Threads. it's funny, Threads wasn't taking off as originally hoped. This is going to shoot it into the stratosphere.

    if he makes me view his muted/blocked tweets, i don't use the platform. it is as simple as that. fuck that guy. there are millions of people that feel the same way.

    You know how badly I can't stand that guy?  I'm thinking of changing my name to "Luz".  :lol:

    Is your middle initial D?

    Haha!  Very nearly, actually.  My parents had decided to make my middle name be David but at the last minute realized that would make me D. Lux.  It was bad enough that I constantly got teased as a kid and called "Soapy" (Lux hand soap and Lux dish detergent were very common years ago).  But actually it wouldn't be so bad if I had been named "Brain D. Lux" (I have old some business cards that were miss-printed as "Brain Lux", lol). 
    The other funny thing about my name is that, among other meaning,  Brian is a symbol for strength, my middle name is Ray, and my last name, Lux, is Latin for "light".  Strong Ray of Light at your service.  :lol:
    Very cool Ray, thanks for sharing!

    Must have been overlooked in his defense of Russell Brand.

    or the fact that musk is wanting to charge everyone for twitter. or that he is under grand jury investigation.

    I remember back when Musk took over X I stated he was pro Russian and someone said there was no evidence of it! Well after everything he’s done it’s pretty evident that he’s a total Russian sympathizer! 
    jesus greets me looks just like me ....

    social media amplifies the accounts and posts that will get the most engagement. X is the worst. and Facebook is turning into MySpace with its never ending ads. Give it 5 years and facebook will be finished. X will be bankrupt. It's going to be nothing but Tik Tok and something new.

    Why do our tax dollars go to this piece of shit, again? Time to find another space company or re-invest in NASA. Fuck Elongitaint. 

    Elon Musk’s electric vehicle company Tesla allowed racial harassment of its Black employees to run rampant at its Fremont, Calif., plant and retaliated against some workers who complained, the federal agency charged with enforcing civil rights laws alleged in a lawsuit Thursday.

    Black employees routinely faced racial slurs, including variations of the n-word, at the Fremont site, according to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), and graffiti depicting nooses, swastikas and more were casually drawn across the facility’s public spaces. Tesla did not immediately respond to request for comment.

    The lawsuit is the latest in a series of allegations blasting the billionaire’s workplace environments — the Justice Department sued SpaceX, also owned by Musk, last month, alleging the company discriminated against refugees and asylum seekers in its hiring process. Half a dozen women sued Tesla in 2021, arguing that the company fostered a culture of sexual harassment. That same year, a federal court in California ordered Tesla to pay nearly $137 million in damages after an employee said they encountered racist abuse at Tesla’s Fremont site. The Fremont plant faced scrutiny again last year, when the state’s workplace regulator sued Tesla over similar claims of racial discrimination and harassment.

    According to the EEOC’s lawsuit, since at least 2015, Black employees at the Fremont facility “have routinely endured racial abuse, pervasive stereotyping, and hostility as well as epithets such as variations of the N-word, ‘monkey,’ ‘boy,’ and ‘black b----.’”

    “Slurs were used casually and openly in high-traffic areas and at worker hubs. Black employees regularly encountered graffiti, including variations of the N-word, swastikas, threats, and nooses, on desks and other equipment, in bathroom stalls, within elevators, and even on new vehicles rolling off the production line,” the EEOC said in a news release announcing the suit.

    The agency added that employees who objected to the hostility were terminated, transferred or had their job duties changed.

    Racial misconduct spanned the company’s ranks, with managers, supervisors, line leads, production associates and temporary workers using racial slurs, the agency’s complaint stated. Black employees stated that non-Black workers used variations of the n-word “almost every day.” One employee described the n-word as his White co-workers’ and supervisor’s “preferred pronoun.”
