He bought it as a vanity project. Wait… you think he did it for the greater good? What! Hahahaha. What!!!!? Omg! Wow!

Holy ****, I almost believe you think that! You are a funny guy!

He did a great thing. Without him buying X, I doubt trump would be back in the White House.

So it was money well spent just for that.

Are you suggesting that Twitter/X is a platform that always tells the truth? Or are you suggesting that Musk pushed people into voting for Trump, which sounds a long way from Democracy, veering towards influencing people, almost like sheep being herded. It's a good job that millions of people made up their own minds, and weren't brainwashed

That is a very weird thing for any media outlet. You are saying X exists to further a rightwing agenda.

I don’t think you realise how utterly inconsistent you are in your views. Especially on bias.

No. X doesn’t have a bias left or right. It just lets people talk and make up their own mind.

Before it was heavily censored to only let the left speak.

Now there is a free market for ideas, and it turns out that without extreme censorship, most people are leaning to the right. (As proven by the landslide election).

There isn’t a right wing bias on X. There is no bias. Just citizens posting and liking.

I think you need to learn to read and get out of your left wing bubble/echo chamber.

Maybe then you’d also be less miserable and a much nicer person too

Says the guy blocked by people from all political backgrounds!

It is funny though, as Lemon and I reacted in the exact same way. Almost as if what you say has different meanings to what you seem to think you are saying.

In theory you are correct.

What you may find in practice is that as it is like the wild west, mainly right leaning (or to be honest far right leaning) people post on there.

The theory is there - that anyone from any political leaning can post, but you will find they don't.

A good example is this forum. Any football fan can post on here, but it is 99% Saints fans on this particular forum. Free speech is here (lol honest!), any fan can post, but mainly Saints fans do.

Oligarch buys media outlet and uses it to peddle disinformation and promote a right wing agenda. Hardly something that’s never been never been done before, is it?

It is crazy though, like totally wild and insane, and the worst platform ever before it became the best platform ever and saved the world from people who know absolutely nothing nothing nothing at all and have no muscles and get no girls because they need testosterone! Like they used to stop people POSTING LIES! Free speech is more important than truth and putting a fact check next to a DONALD THE KING OF EVERYTHING post is an abuse of power!

Lefties with their laptops and their trans disease are gonna nuke the world tomorrow, braaaah!

I doubt there's too many left wing posters on 4Chan either (I may be wrong, I haven't been there). That doesn't mean it's not absolutely hideous.

House!

The Lefty1, Drama Queen's2 response to Trump's3 election victory shows just how out of touch4 and brainwashed5 the woke6 have become. The paranoid7 left wing bias8 of the legacy(?) media9 after the result was announced was what you would expect from conspiraloons10. The media's audience, living in their left wing bubble11 getting the news from a cult12 style echo chamber13 are unaware of the fraud14 that's going on. It will take someone like Musk15 to spread the good news that those goddam commies16 are trying to get censored17. The conspiracy theories18 being expressed on a daily basis aimed at the right wing19 Trump supporters is the type of propaganda20 we have all come to expect from those sandal wearing Guardian readers21*.

*Added one of my own there.

What is legacy media?

Your feeble, sheep brain will never comprehend the power of strong leadership and what can be accomplished by great men.

A new golden age of prosperity is coming.

And you think this will suddenly turn Russia into a peace-loving country?

What will stop them invading other Eastern European countries?

Wow. Just wow. It's posts like this that do you no favours at all.

It is weird how Hamas- who have wanted peace for ages - being open to a phone call, and Putin, who is excited Trump will give him Ukraine, are both signs of Trump’s genius.

If Trump gets Ukraine to keep her sovereignty, I will praise him myself. If he sells Ukraine down the river, he will be remembered as as a traitor to the West.

Putin is desperate to get out of this war with what he can spin as a win. In Trump he has someone that will likely allow him to redraw borders where the frontline is now, so he'll be able to do that.

This isn't some genius piece of leadership from Trump, it's Putin playing it and him like a fiddle again (and taking advantage of at best disinterested leadership when it comes to world affairs - he doesn't give a **** if Ukraine loses some territory).
