Excuses excuses. He’s either for free speech or he’s not. You can’t gaslight your way out of the blatant hypocrisy.

He’s high profile so people shouldn’t go toe to toe with him? Is he higher profile than other politicians who people have been freely talking ish about? His ego can’t handle it but when it’s others he’s suddenly for free speech.

What Elon really wants are minions.

About immigration. There are many people who have been fired after outsourcing to India Definitely there is a large group of people who resent immigrants both democrats and republicans.
Midwest Republican areas employ a lot of illegals in their ranches,farms , businesses and factories. Don't just blanket .
Most immigrants are democrats , it's the democrat's policy to have as many immigrants as possible, these are future votes. Dont delude yourself that white democrats love you. They gladly put immigrants on the dole, after all govt is paying not them. If they loved illegals they would gladly house them.
H1B visas have been abused for years , that's what I can conclude from the comments I have seen on conservative sites.

Elon has 210 million followers. Going head to head with him raises your profile esp when he responds More likes, more retweets, more followers and if one has monetized X that means more money. A lot of people make money promoting products on X.

Donald Trump’s “best buddy,” South African-born Elon Musk, has endorsed a post on X slamming Americans as “re***ded” workers who can’t hold a candle to skilled foreign hires in Silicon Valley.

Musk was responding to a post — using a word widely considered a slur — explaining the difference between the “right right” (whom Trump claims to back) and the “tech right.”

The “right right” want everything in America, including jobs, for Americans, the poster explained. The “tech right,” however, want H-1B visas for “skilled” foreign workers because American workers “are re***ed,” and “you can’t out train” that, the poster added.

Musk responded Thursday night in a post that has been since deleted: “That pretty much sums it up. This was eye-opening.”
this sounds oddly like those insults dished out to lazy nigeriian workers from members of the american master race
it also sounds like musk's version of deplorables and garbage people - but what do i know ?

Good that you're admitting your honest positions, doesn't that feel better?
Instead of constantly and disingenuously hiding behind a free speech position you don't believe in.

It's about power and silencing dissidents, and Shadow President Musk is king on twitter therefore it's whatever he wills to whomever he pleases on his platform.

He basically called them dumb and mediocre and they lost their minds. But in true republican fashion it is still somehow the dems at fault grin

They’re still trying to blame democrats for what their oligarch overlord is saying to them. If you were Musk wouldn’t you call them dumb too?

I mean as much as I dislike him, I can’t even blame him. Blaming someone else for the thing your lord is doing to you has to be the very definition of what he’s telling them that they are.

A smart person would quietly take the L, reconsider their position and re-strategize. Instead they’re doing the same thing they’ve always done.

1) Haven’t you noticed that telling others lame stuff like “cry” “tears” “emotions” etc are ineffective words when you’re trying to squirm your way away from an embarrassing position facing you? Silence can be golden sometimes. The doubling down is shameful. Don’t you feel shame?

2) Taking the side of who? Pls don’t digress. I’m asking Elon to stand on his free speech absolutist stance. He would walk the talk that he used to gain republican support. Promising everyone freedom to say whatever they wanted. Well until you said something he doesn’t like. 🤣🤣🤣.

3) Republicans are the party of racists. Just like Laura , they don’t want legal immigrants either. We tried to tell y’all but you refused to learn. You think Laura is the only republican against legal immigration? oh you guys didn’t have the foresight and social experience to understand the clues around you. Clues that screamed they didn’t like migrants legal or not. Or you thought you’d be the exception?
Cry, dear; complaining is crying. Elon or Trump breathes you complain. They are doing their thing in reality while you live in your imagination.

Why you are emotional I can call it out, when you cry I can call it out too. Regardless of whether, according to your imagination, it is working or not. I am only describing your state.

Loomer is still on Twitter posting, she was never silenced so you are spreading lies she is spreading.

Keep crying

Dude she was suspended for 12 hours before she became active again. And of course her verification was removed so she can’t be monetized while it’s off.
He’s punishing her for speaking against him. How’s that not anti free speech?

And…..Laura Loomer is but one person. He’s been doing this since he bought the platform. Suspending accounts of journalists who speak out against him.

How does the bottom of his shoe taste Mintus?
She was not suspended. Joe Biden is not senile for 4 years the weirdos who told you he is fine and sharpest are now lying to you.

What Vivek posted was literally the type of thing they've been saying to black americans.
It's the right's talking points about how black americans have a bad culture that makes them poor and lazy.

Vivek says native born Americans are not raised right and have a bad culture that makes them unable to compete with asian immigrants for tech jobs, and they lose their minds, and are now arguing for what amounts to dei for white people.

There's an undercurrent of a legitimate discussion born out of this topic, but the right lacks any analytical frame work to work it out.

They’re dumb. He called it.
I hate to agree with him but maybe they need to hear it from him. Oh wait he’s brown. never mind then 🤣. If only a white American born man would say it on Vivek’s behalf. Maybe it might penetrate?

Right. Because my name is Laura Loomer. And I’m the one going on podcasts talking about how I’m being suppressed on twitter by my former overlord who I used to lick his boots.

I know reasoning is not easy but try it sometimes. Maybe you’ll be able to understand when someone is mocking you vs crying.

This cut and paste response shows you don’t use your thinking faculty very often.

Loomer is not being suppressed, she doxxed someone and got suspended, then she deactivated her own subscription.

It's only hatred coupled with sore loser syndrome would take you this length.

Stop crying and pray for a better life here as we see the new admin enter the white house instead of praying for the demise of this country.

Control your emotions, any guy that will break up with you no go rest o 🤣🤣🤣

All this because of hatred. Liberals 😂

Weak responses.

You know sometimes when someone you believe in so much is embarrassing you, it’s okay to be quiet and take the L in peace. You wiggle too much in their defense you start to look like wiggly worms.

Of course basilico. Those journalists he suspended for writing about him were bots. Even though they had names, faces and companies they worked for. Maybe you’re a bot too.

Indeed bemeruca. It’s only in my imagination that Elon claimed he’s a free speech absolutist.All that never happened and earth doesn’t revolve around the sun.

No wonder nobody in their right minds will take anything any of you say at face value. If you have no shame about the way you lie, it makes sense that anything either of you say has to be quadruple checked. 😩
Those scummy maga scumbags are the weakest of the lot. They are confused right now and hopelessness is chief in their camp. Just watch them eating up themselves and showing the whole world how insanely racist they are.

We haven't even started laughing at them yet.

The inconsistency is when you support him as he’s raging against the previous owners of the company for banning people who spoke of things they didn’t agree with, only for him to turn around and do worse and you think it’s okay.

He needed the wakeup call.

MAGA booed Trump over the COVID vaccines. Musk is small chops.
He will get in line. He and Vivek failed to read the room.

Trump already publicized his plan in 2019 to reform immigration.
https://trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/articles/president-trumps-bold-immigration-plan-21st-century/
The plan has always been to increase legal immigration under Trump 2.0. The mass deportations are a way to buy cachet with the base.
The tech bros naively stepped on a rake.

Vance needs to pull their ears to the side and read the riot act.
It's his wing of the party and his 2028 nomination is on the line.

I know of no forum that does not moderate. In Jack Dorsey days banning was real time. There were thousands of content moderators whose work was to flag any misinformation.
There was a whole coordinated campaign by Biden admin with a back channel to Twitter to enforce censorship. Stanford Integrity group was also sending tons of emails to Twitter demanding accounts to be silenced.
The bots of Twitter would quickly ban if you posted anything not politically correct.
They still do so at FB though not as much
The impact X had on the elections was massive . I think it's worth tens of billions but the deep state obviously wants to show it's a sinking ship.
Twitter was a revolving door for deep state actors For instance former FBI General Counsel James Baker left FBI to join Twitter as it's General Counsel. He was one of those who authorized 2016 spying on Trump campaign FBI operatives were inside Twitter. You can read Mart Taibbi Twitter files, I had previous posted full unrolled twitter threads of his reports some time ago.

Trump also had a policy in place as of Jan 2021 to have h1B visa get paid the same as American workers within 6 months. Of course Biden immediately reversed that. This would have ensured companies don't just fire Americans for cheaper labour.
I also notice Elon is particular about which professions to grant visas.

There will be immigrants definitely whatever people say .
