Elno is comparing UK Police to Nazi SS. Everything is fine here, right?

I am a cisgender male

Elmo spreading actual German fascism by pretending to not understand that Nazi speech is forbidden in Germany by law. Höcke is the leader of Germany's extreme right party "AFD".

@SocialPowerOne1 Note: Höcke may legally be called a "Fascist" and a "Nazi" in Germany.

Sweden has joined NATO I remain a master strategist

@BirgitC @LeonSimons8 @Twittagoesriot Yes, and usually, this time around, there is lots of snow. This year, events have been canceled or scaled down. It is indeed a sad sight

❄️🏂⛷️ People in Europe enjoying winter.

@cooliopenguin #butbutbut Elno promised he'd take care of the bots! And why would I need to know someone is paying money for Twitter, if that is the purpose of this badge?

@avbelow Blue checkmark no longer means „verified“, it now means „subscriber“. Plenty of scams coming that way

The state of Twitter: Regularly now I see seemingly innocent, verified accounts running scam ads. What is this? Have the accounts been hacked? And it would seem that with a bit of AI, those kind of scams should be easily detectable

I am in! Next Vision Pro meetup by @ZAUBARcompany and @hubraum in Berlin the day before the US launch ;) 🚀

1/2 Die @BILD-Zeitung berichtet heute über Äußerungen von mir zur AfD, die in dieser Form nicht korrekt sind. In einer Rede heute habe ich vor der AfD und Extremen gewarnt. Dabei habe ich zusammenfassend (!) gesagt: „Je größer der Haufen Scheiße, umso mehr Fliegen sitzen drauf!“

(3/6) Worte wie Remigration sollen so wirken, als ginge es um eine gutgemeinte, insgesamt freundliche Rückführung in die Heimat. Tatsächlich aber geht es um nichts anderes als eine Deportation, wie wir sie aus der Geschichte kennen.

@timscher Vielen Dank! Wie erreiche ich Dich denn sonst? 😏

@avbelow Welche Ehre, das weiß ich zu schätzen. Vielen Dank! Dir auch herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!

@timscher Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag! Dafür mache ich sogar die Twitter App auf

I had this exchange with Elon here on Twitter over a year ago and we are still having the same conversation so I guess…let’s do this. Fortune 500 companies aren’t overly moral actors. They make decisions based on whether they think they will make more or less money. Advertisers are not leaving Twitter because they are trying to make a statement or achieve some goal (which would be a boycott). They are leaving Twitter because they aren’t sure whether advertising on the platform is delivering negative or positive value, and why spend a bunch of money doing something that might actually be /hurting/ you. The reason it might be hurting them is fuzzier. But, in my opinion, it’s not mostly to do with their ads showing up next to bigoted content. I think it’s that this platform is increasingly all about one guy in a lot of people’s minds. That one guy is both the most influential power use of the platform, and the owner of the platform. And that guy has trained everyone to expect that he is going to say increasingly inflammatory and unhinged stuff. That means employees and customers of those companies (who /are/ moral actors) don’t get good vibes from the company they like advertising with a company they don’t like. This is a symptom of the culture war that Elon Musk desperately wants to inflame because he is stuck inside of a really tight “you are always right” feedback loop of fans and friends who feel incapable of questioning him. He has attained a kind of moral certainty that he is fighting a war against an existential threat to humanity. That inevitably results in either an intervention of good friends or a complete crash (often times a violent one). But that’s when the person isn’t the richest person in the world. I don’t know what happens when it’s the richest person in the world, but I’m trying not to watch it like it’s a train wreck, because, just like with train wrecks, real people are getting hurt. That moral certainty is allowing him to do things that are very clearly bad for the economics of the platform (but good for keeping people talking about Elon Musk, which (as a person who has fallen into that trap before) is important to keep an eye on as an underlying motivation for all of this behavior.) It is not at all surprising that large advertisers, who advertise specifically to ensure their brands are perceived positively, are leaving (at least for the moment) a platform whose biggest brand ambassador is tweeting Great Replacement theories and Pizzagate memes. It is not an attempt to change Twitter or Elon’s behavior. It is an effort to not lose money.

@mreichelt @Blackgentoo Leave the platform. My tech bubble has mostly migrated to mastodon
