the world  and its  attacks on free speech  by the ruthless  conspirators  of the past, still at it today ,but much 

more subversive!

Musk is deluded. He's lost the plot. He can't even run a competent livestream on his overpriced platform.

The Propaganda runs deep within 

the  Washington Establishment!

"Modernization" meant they dropped the propaganda protections and allowed government agencies and bureaucrats to create media "news" and opinion to feed to the American public.

A shot across the bow, by a force who is apparently involved in international 

intimidation !

Who controls these networks?

 

"There appears to be a massive DDOS attack on X. Working on shutting it down. 

DDOS attack stands for "Distributed Denial-of-Service Attack" that is disrupts a targeted server or network's normal traffic by flooding the target or its surrounding infrastructure with internet traffic.

X was working fine, only the interview not. That was a very targeted attack if you believe it.

Elon is trying to compare X to VOA????

I'm pretty sure the leaders in charge at VOA didn't tell those who paid the bills to "go F___ yourselves"

Yes, he realised his remark wasn't very smart. Retracting wasn't possible so he softened it.

And you believe Musk?

 

The problem was that a system designed to host 8 million only had 200K participants, so they stalled for time in the hopes that more would show up.

[Danderman123]

Unlike most people here, I have known Elon for a long time, back when he was looking for rides on a Russian ICBM for a Mars project.

 

Unfortunately, he is suffering from some sort of mental problem that is worsening over time.

His advertisers also have the right of free speech AND the right to remain silent.... on X.

Society generally calls those with the Elon's level of impulse control children.

So why post on a highly opinionated 'chat group'?

I wouldn't say that. It's more an overestimation of himself giving the impression of being invincible as the richest man on earth. So his influence by money or actions is overwhelming (for him). Nobody there to correct him. For me he lost his compass unfortunately.

[gravity101]

A free speech absolutist....unless it's on his platform critical of him or things he doesn't believe in. Come on, he's a visionary who's lost his way with power and money. I can't get rid of him on Twitter despite telling the platform I'm not interested, dont follow. Always top of my feed..and do you see what he posts?? An absolute <deleted>poster of the highest order. Sadly a freak now.

You seem disappointed that the voices of those you oppose aren’t being suppressed.

Private individuals should have the right to ignore anyone.

 

Don't you agree...

Absolutely. Is why one can opt out of patronizing a business. No one is forcing you to come here and read posts are they? You’re not obligated to visit the X forum are you? It might be best to stick with media that only has one view to avoid emotional distress.

That is questionable as in most countries collaboration to destroy a competitor is considered illegal.

so X is a competitor to Disney?  I agree with your statement but X's advertisers for the most part are not competitors.

[Lacessit]

IMO this is Musk's business model for X........

I believe it was more companies involved in not advertising with X .

If a company is not a competitor it is still considered illegal if a group of companies collude to harm another .

Following your logic, Musk can sue me and millions of other for not coming on X, reading the garbage he allows others to post in the name of free speech.

 

Please tell me who on earth looks at advertising on social media. It's like the Communist propaganda on Soviet Union TV, everyone just tunes them out.

[harryviking]

Musk may be a good inventor, but other than that he is an IMBECILE!!! Money does not equal intelligence!

The companies decided to limit/stop advertising on X because X could not/would not promise that the ads would not appear in conjunction with material the companies found offensive.  That is their right.

Even if a single company/organisation advised the companies to do so, that is legal because the said company does not have any authority over their client's decisions.
