Elon banned Antifa from twitter due to them promoting violence, good job.

55555 did he send that message to the non-existent antifa head office? Is he going to hire staff to determine who is "antifa", or just ban any account which mentions it? Another well thought out and immediately tweeted policy. The hits just keep on coming!

These suspensions happened pre-Musk as well.

https://nypost.com/2021/01/22/twitter-suspends-antifa-accounts-with-over-71k-followers/

Your first source doesn't say Musk banned anything.  Your second source is pre-Musk and states:

 

"Twitter has suspended several popular accounts with alleged ties to Antifa — which have more than 71,000 followers combined — following the Inauguration Day riots."

 

Since Antifa is not a formal organization with any official leadership, it can't have a Twitter account.

 

The second source also states:

 

"Twitter has been cracking down on accounts belonging to extremist groups and those that peddle conspiracy theories following the Jan. 6 siege on the US Capitol."

 

"More than 70,000 QAnon-related accounts have since been purged."

 

Interesting.  Alleged Antifa accounts with 71k followers versus 70,000 QAnon-related account.  Even if the average QAnon account had only a handful of followers, that would mean Twitter banned QAnon accounts followed by many times the number of followers of alleged Antifa accounts.

 

Of course that was pre-Musk.  It will be interesting to see if Musk allows the right-wing conspiracy theory accounts such as QAnon to remain while banning any account that a right-wingnut says is an Antifa account.

Apple, like every public company in America, has a constitution. That constitution always says that its directors are required to protect the company's shareholder value. This is why they banned Twitter and why 50% of advertisers have recently boycotted Twitter.

In the run-up to Elon Musk’s release of all of Twitter’s internal information regarding the Hunter Biden laptop, shadow-banning, censorship, political favoritism, etc., the mainstream media couldn’t stop talking about how evil Musk was because he was a manifest “threat to democracy.” Now that Musk has actually released that “democracy-threatening” information, almost all of the major media outlets have fallen completely silent."

Roth said:

 

“We’re erring on the side of including a warning and preventing this content from being amplified,” Twitter’s safety chief Yoel Roth said of why The Post’s coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020 was censored. He attached a “generic unsafe message” to the Tweet — “not ideal,” he wrote, “but it’s the only thing we have.”

 

Correct and transparent statement. Considering the laptop hard drive had not been verified or independently forensically investigated it fell under their "Distribution of hacked materials policy" so was against their own terms to publish.

The "richest man in the world" (less than 200 billion or 0.2 trillion) would look like a pathetic pauper with no resources to go to war with the behemoths with decades of experience in the landscape (combined worth 3.7 trillion).

All he would have to do is prove they're applying an illegal tax and operate a monopoly.

 

That will take a lot of money but not billions.

 

Other far smaller companies are already taking these 'app stores' on.

Surging Twitter antisemitism unites fringe, encourages violence, officials say

Current and former federal officials are warning that a surge in hate speech and disinformation about Jews on Twitter is uniting and popularizing some of the same extremists who have helped push people to engage in violent protests including the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on Congress.

 

The officials are predicting that Twitter will contribute to more violence in the months ahead, citing the proliferation of extreme content, including support for genocidal Nazis by celebrities with wide followings and the reemergence of QAnon proselytizers and white nationalists.

 

Musk announced a broad amnesty for most previously banned accounts and has personally interacted with fringe activists and white nationalists on the site in the weeks since he assumed ownership.

Are you saying that Fauci DIDN'T lie to congress and DIDN'Tfund gain of function research? We know already he did. I understand why the left are upset about this, but this is now the time of rehabilitation. Fauci can do his punishment and having paid his debts to society will once again be able to rejoin civil society. Thank goodness for mr Musk who spent his 44 billion to bring the truth that had been hidden for 2 years. We should all be grateful even if our heros are the guilty ones.

No.

 

Whoever paid for gain of function research on bat coronaviruses at that lab DID cause the death of millions.

 

I imagine Musk is also playing with the ridiculous charges the left laid at Trump's feet, like this frequent claim - I am guessing one which you did not debunk with as much vigor as when Fauci is at the receiving end?

As I said, pure conspiracy theory laying the blame for millions of people killed on Fauci. No one has evidence of this.

 

But what do you expect from someone  would lie about the death of his own child would clearly lie about anything:

Hey, you're starting to get the drift. The NIH also claimed it wasn't gain of function (linked previously).

Musk Goes Full Pizzagate

He’s jumped head first into the “globalist”/pedophile vortex which was at the heart of the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory and later the entire QAnon movement. He now accuses former Twitter management of intentionally allowing the platform it to become a breeding ground of pedophilia and child sex trafficking. He claims he’s shutting the offending accounts down after previous management refused to do so. These accusations have become so totalizing that yesterday Musk drew a rebuke from former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, who has been one of Musk’s bigger supporters during the takeover.

I would suspect Dorsey wanted the US$44 billion deal to go through -- he knew he'd never find another sucker businessman willing to pay that.  Placating and deference is part of the ritual behavior in Silicon Valley deals in that period between the announcement of a deal and the closing.

So, it's been proven that gain of function research created the covid-19 virus? Maybe in the fever-infested sources you get your info from, but the question is very very far from being resolved. At least in saner quarters.

Former CIA Director John Brennan called Fauci a “national hero” and accused Musk of stoking hatred. 

 

“Dr. Fauci is a national hero who will be remembered for generations to come for his innate goodness & many contributions to public health Despite your business success, you will be remembered most for fueling public hate & divisions. You may have money, but you have no class,” Brennan said in a reply to Musk.

Elon Musk apparently thinks he played no role in alienating his transgender daughter, who took the legal step to no longer be related to him “in any way, shape or form.” Instead, he says her decision was caused by “neo-Marxists” at educational institutions.

 

Elon Musk says he lost transgender daughter because of ‘neo-Marxists’

Musk didn’t specify what institutions had worked their influence on his daughter, but he said, “It’s full-on communism and a general sentiment that if you’re rich, you’re evil.”

Musk apparently sees no connection between his child’s disenchantment with him and his polarizing comments about gender identity issues. The young woman’s mother, Musk’s first wife, Justine Wilson, has characterized the CEO as a difficult, controlling and patriarchal man to live with.

Wow!  This post is way off the deep end.  It's obvious you do not understand how research on viruses is conducted or what gain of function is.  But let's get it straight, in order for Covid-19 to have benefited from gain of function, it would mean it was in the lab and escaped from the lab.  Evidence of this has not been verified.   

 

Or are you suggesting Fauci is responsible for funding some sort of viral lab in a bat cave somewhere in a remote part of China?
