why are so many conservatives so fucking stupid about free speech? boggles the mind.
They're also outraged over M&M's becoming less sexy and think the government is going to take their ovens. So...I mean, there's no making sense of anything at this point.
I still don't get that gas stove thing. But I guess that's so two days ago.

You would think that the same people that believe vaccines cause autism would completely agree with this. Or the people that think JFK Jr is secretly working with tRump to save amurikkka.

Elon Musk takes witness stand to defend Tesla buyout tweets
By MICHAEL LIEDTKE
32 mins ago
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Elon Musk took the witness stand Friday to defend a 2018 tweet claiming he had lined up the financing to take Tesla private in a deal that never came close to happening.
The tweet resulted in a $40 million settlement with securities regulators. It also led to a class-action lawsuit alleging he misled investors, pulling him into court Friday.
The mercurial billionaire took the witness stand wearing a dark suit on the third day of a civil trial in San Francisco that his lawyer unsuccessfully tried to move to Texas, where Tesla is now headquartered, on the premise that media coverage of his tumultuous takeover of Twitter had tainted the jury pool.
The nine-person jury assembled earlier this week will be responsible for deciding whether a pair of tweets that Musk posted on Aug. 7, 2018 damaged Tesla shareholders during a 10-day period leading up to a Musk admission that the buyout he had envisioned wasn't going to happen.
A month later, Musk stepped down as Tesla's chairman while remaining CEO as part of the Securities and Exchange Commission settlement without acknowledging any wrongdoing.
In the first of those those two 2018 tweets, Musk stated “funding secured” for a what would have been a $72 billion buyout of Tesla at a time when the electric automaker was still grapping with production problems and was worth far less than it is now. Musk followed up a few hours later with another tweet suggesting a deal was imminent.
On the stand Friday, Musk — who last year bought Twitter for $44 billion — said tweeting is “most democratic way” to communicate with investors.
"I care a great deal about retail investors,” he said during questioning by shareholder attorney Nicholas Porritt.
But he acknowledged that investors can get more detail in a traditional corporate filing with securities regulators, given the character limits set on Twitter.
“I think you can absolutely be truthful" on Twitter, Musk said. “But can you be comprehensive? Of course not.”
Even before Musk took the stand, U.S. District Judge Edward Chen had declared that the jurors can consider those two tweets to be falsehoods, leaving them to decide whether Musk deliberately deceived investors and whether his statements saddled them with losses.
Musk has previously contended he entered into the SEC settlement under duress and maintained he believed he had locked up financial backing for a Tesla buyout during meetings with representatives from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
The trial over his Tesla tweets come at a time when he has been focusing on Twitter, which he acquired in October after trying to back out of that purchase.
Musk’s leadership of Twitter — where he has gutted the staff and alienated users and advertisers — has proven unpopular among Tesla’s current stockholders, who are worried he has been devoting less time steering the automaker at a time of intensifying competition. Those concerns contributed to a 65% decline in Tesla’s stock last year that wiped out more than $700 billion in shareholder wealth — far more than the $14 billion swing in fortune that occurred between the company’s high and low stock prices during the Aug. 7-17, 2018 period covered in the class-action lawsuit.
Tesla’s stock has split twice since then, making the $420 buyout price cited in his 2018 tweet worth $28 on adjusted basis now. The company's shares were trading around $133 Friday, down from the company’s November 2021 split-adjusted peak of $414.50.
After Musk dropped the idea of a Tesla buyout, the company overcame its production problems, resulting in a rapid upturn in car sales that caused its stock to soar and minted Musk as the world’s richest person until he bought Twitter. Musk dropped from the top spot on the wealth list after the stock market’s backlash to his handling of Twitter.

Twitter reportedly started prioritizing Elon Musk’s posts. His Eagles tweet had a role.
Um, go Birds?

Twitter CEO Elon Musk ordered an update to the platform that would boost and prioritize his own tweets on users’ feeds, according to a report based on internal Twitter documents. It appears his tweet supporting the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl helped get the ball rolling.
Platformer — a news outlet that covers the intersection of tech and democracy — reported Monday that internal Twitter documents showed that Musk ordered company engineers to “fix” the platform to juice his tweets, or risk being fired.
Here’s what you need to know.
Musk’s Philadelphia Eagles tweet prompted a new directive at Twitter HQ
The initial order came via an internal message at 2:36 a.m. Monday from Elon Musk’s cousin, James Musk, according to Platformer’s report. Elon Musk had attended the Super Bowl Sunday and tweeted around 7 p.m. in support of the Eagles.
President Joe Biden — whose wife, first lady Jill Biden, is a proud “Philly girl” — tweeted his support for the Birds about 40 minutes later. It generated over three times more public views than Musk’s tweet. Musk then did an online walk of shame after the Eagles lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, deleting his tweet.
Through reviewing internal documents and speaking with people close to Twitter, Platformer reported that the Eagles tweet dichotomy is what sparked the new directive to boost Musk’s tweets for all users.
Twitter engineers introduced a mechanism to super-boost Musk’s and only Musk’s tweets
Recent tech news developments have shown how other social media platforms manually prioritize users’ posts. A Forbes report last month revealed an internal practice on TikTok called “heating,” which gives staff the ability to secretly boost the distribution of videos. But Musk’s approach appears particularly self-serving, only impacting his own tweets.
As noted by Insider, Musk has publicly obsessed over his engagement on Twitter. Last week, he fired a top engineer after they suggested that Musk’s engagement downtick was because of decreased public interest in the CEO. He also turned previously private impression data on tweets into public view counts.

Platformer reported that about 80 people were pulled in to work on the project, working through the night to figure out how to make Musk’s tweets more visible.
Monday, engineers introduced code that would automatically approve Musk’s tweets, bypassing content filters that are supposed to curate the best tweets for a particular user. It’s called the “power user multiplier” and only works for Musk, Platformer reported. That multiplier would keep his tweets ranked higher than anyone else’s on a user’s feed.
How has the new code impacted users’ Twitter experience?
By Monday afternoon, Twitter users noted seeing a barrage of Musk tweets on their main feeds, regardless of whether they followed him.
A day later, Musk seemingly acknowledged his newly boosted presence.
ADVERTISEMENT
He posted a version of the niche “forced to drink milk” meme. The meme — which began appearing in 2017 according to Know Your Meme — is a template style where users put labels on top of a photo of a woman force-feeding another woman a bottle of milk. Musk’s version labeled the woman holding the bottle of milk, “Elon’s tweets” and the woman being force-fed, “Twitter.”
How were Musk’s changes received by Twitter users?
In a word: poorly.
As noted by Know Your Meme, responses sparked contempt. The meme website said Musk’s updates turned Twitter into a “quasi-personal blog for anyone who doesn’t directly have him blocked.”
But things are still changing. In a tweet early Tuesday morning, he suggested that his team would make “adjustments to the uh .... ‘algorithm.”
Platformer reported that by Tuesday, Musk’s artificial boosts were still in place but were decreased. The outlet added that Musk’s tweets continue to perform on the higher end of his recent views average.

I haven't noticed anything. Only tweet of his I saw today was quoting that creepy-ass interview with Bing Bot, with a link to the article, so it was a pretty good Tweet.

Musk defends ‘Dilbert’ creator, says media is ‘racist against whites’
The Tesla and Twitter chief blasted media outlets for dropping Scott Adams’s comic strip after the cartoonist’s rant against Black people
Twitter and Tesla chief Elon Musk defended Scott Adams, the under-fire creator of “Dilbert,” in a series of tweets Sunday morning, blasting media organizations for dropping his comic strip after Adams said that White people should “get the hell away from Black people.”
Replying to tweets about the controversy, Musk said it is actually the media that is “racist against whites & Asians.” He offered no criticism of Adams’s comments, in which the cartoonist called Black people a “hate group” and said, “I don’t want to have anything to do with them.”
Musk previously tweeted, then later deleted, a reply to Adams’s tweet about media outlets pulling his comic strip, in which Musk asked, “What exactly are they complaining about?”
The billionaire’s comments continue a pattern of Musk expressing more concern about the “free speech” of people who make racist or anti-Semitic comments than about the comments themselves. Musk’s views on race have been the subject of scrutiny both at Twitter, where he has reinstated far-right accounts, including those of neo-Nazis and others previously banned for hate speech, and at Tesla, which has been the subject of multiple lawsuits alleging a culture of rampant racism and sexual harassment in the workplace.
Musk did not immediately reply to an email Sunday morning requesting comment.
Newspapers around the country, including The Washington Post, have dropped Adams’s “Dilbert” strip in recent days in the wake of an episode of his YouTube show that aired Wednesday. In that video, Adams expressed outrage at a Rasmussen poll that found 26 percent of Black Americans disagreed with the statement “It’s okay to be white,” compared with 12 percent of the general population. Another 21 percent of Black respondents said they were “not sure” about the statement.
The controversy over the statement may be explained in part by the fact that it originated as part of an online trolling campaign by the alt-right and was subsequently embraced by white supremacists, according to the Anti-Defamation League. But Adams suggested it proves that Black Americans hate Whites.
“If nearly half of all Blacks are not okay with White people … that’s a hate group,” Adams said. “I don’t want to have anything to do with them. And I would say, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would give to White people is to get the hell away from Black people … because there is no fixing this.”
Musk in the past has decried what he calls a “woke mind virus.” In November, he posted a tweet in which he appeared to mock T-shirts created years earlier by a group of Black Twitter employees that he said stemmed from the 2014 protests in Ferguson, Mo., after the fatal shooting by police of a Black teen, Michael Brown.
Musk said that the slogan “Hands up don’t shoot” was “made up” and that “the whole thing was a fiction,” in a tweet he later deleted.
Since taking over Twitter in October, Musk has softened its policies against hate speech and scaled back the company’s content moderation efforts at a time of drastic cutbacks in its workforce.
Do the research yourself. The only lie being told is what you are posting.

Lol You know that shaman guy had access to the brief snippet Tucker Carlson aired last night, right? He actual plead guilty too. Nobody lied about Hawley. Explain how they lied. For well over a year now, we've known how Sicknick died. Medical examiner and his family believe what happened to him played a role in his death. Ray Epps? lol

Nothing would please me more than if the GOP ran on a J6 campaign. Keep reliving that day all through election season and see how that works out.
So ridiculous. The Hawley thing is especially laughable. He showed the exact same clip we've all seen over the last year or so. Did he really think we all thought Hawley was the only one running? We do know he was the only one who saluted the very same people he was running from...which was the entirety of the point Tucker wants his viewers to forget.
