Animal abuse videos go viral on Twitter, raising content moderation concerns


By Patrick Reilly
May 12, 2023

Gruesome animal abuse videos have been widely circulating on Twitter in recent weeks, raising concerns about how the social media giant monitors its content with Elon Musk at the helm, according to a report.

One particularly disturbing video that has gained traction appears to show a live kitten being placed inside of a blender and killed, NBC News reported.

A concerned parent from London told the outlet she discovered the sickening footage after hearing about it from her preteen son.

Laura Clemens, 46, said that her 11-year-old son came home from school and mentioned something about a cat in a blender clip on Twitter.

The mother went on the platform and typed in “cat.”

The search box automatically suggested she search “cat in a blender,” she said.

When she clicked on the suggested search, the graphic video instantly appeared, she told NBC.

The outlet replicated the process and quickly found the clip on Wednesday.

By Friday, Twitter appeared to have disabled autocomplete suggestions in the search bar.

Clemens said she was glad her son came and told her about it first before finding the video on his own with a simple “cat” search.

“I’m glad that my child has talked to me, but there must be lots of parents whose kids just look it up,” she said.

I don't understand why people are surprised. I mean, torturing and murdering animals is par for the course for shitbag Musk and his employees. They consider it perfectly normal.

Elon Musk subpoenaed in suit over JPMorgan ties to Jeffrey Epstein


By Reuters
May 15, 2023

The US Virgin Islands has subpoenaed Tesla CEO Elon Musk for documents in its lawsuit accusing JPMorgan Chase of helping enable sexual abuses by late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

According to a Monday court filing in US District Court in Manhattan, the Virgin Islands issued a subpoena to Musk on April 28.

The filing said Musk, one of the richest people in the world, may have been referred to JPMorgan by Epstein.

It did not provide further explanation for its interest in obtaining documents from Musk.

Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The US Virgin Islands accuses JPMorgan of missing red flags about Epstein’s abuse of women on Little St. James, a private island he owned there.
(...)
Musk was pictured with Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s confidante, at a 2014 Vanity Fair Oscars Party. But Musk in 2020 tweeted that he does not know Maxwell, and she “photobombed” the billionaire at the event.

Here's How Elon Musk's Brother Got His 'Super Villain' Reputation


BY LAUREL WALSH PUBLISHED NOV 11, 2021

Is he the evil twin of (already controversial billionaire) Elon? Here's what people are saying about Kimbal Musk.


(...)
Allegedly Ripping Off His Workers

Kimbal made headlines mid-pandemic when his restaurant business closed and re-opened. The Colorado based chain came under fire for having all employees pay into an emergency employee relief fund, not letting any of them access that fund when the COVID emergency hit, and then firing them all while keeping their relief money.

As Huffington Post reported, the fund ended up being about $25,000. After the restaurants closed the workers were no longer considered "current employees," so they were all denied access to it and made to search for jobs elsewhere.
(...)
Epstein Helped Kimbal Love Life
(...)
"Kimbal was also buddies with Epstein, all around great guy!" reads one sarcastic Tweet linking to a Business Insider report that disgraced multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein used to be in "regular contact" with Kimbal Musk.

He may have even procured dates for Kimbal in an effort to gain closer access to Elon and his companies. Finding women for rich and powerful men is basically what Jeffrey went down for...so that ain't good!

Business Insider claims that between 2011 and 2012, Kimbal dated a woman who Epstein set him up with. She was an Eastern European model who had previously dated Epstein himself and was part of his "entourage." That so-called entourage (along with Jeffrey Epstein himself) ended up being granted a private tour of SpaceX in 2012, and many people think Kimbal was responsible.

Default Elon Musk claims George Soros ‘hates humanity.’ The ADL says Musk’s attacks ‘will embolden extremists’

Elon Musk claims George Soros ‘hates humanity.’ The ADL says Musk’s attacks ‘will embolden extremists’
Quote:
Elon Musk launched a baseless [sic] Twitter attack on George Soros, a frequent target for antisemitic conspiracy theories, accusing the financier of hating humanity days after Soros disclosed having sold off a modest stake in Tesla.

While Musk’s remarks don’t mention the billionaire philanthropist’s ethnicity, Musk was criticized for dangerous rhetoric that could potentially fuel further attacks on Soros.

In a tweet late Monday, Musk compared him to X-Men villain Magneto, who like Soros was a survivor of the Holocaust [sic], according to the comics’ back story for the character. When a Twitter user defended Soros as having good intentions which are criticized by those who disagree with his politics, Musk responded, “You assume they are good intentions. They are not. He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity.”
Musk says George Soros ‘hates humanity,’ compares him to Jewish supervillain

Musk's Anti-Semitism Was Inevitable

And after jewish pressure groups like the ADL accused him of "antisemitism", the muskrat quickly cucked out and proclaimed that he's actially a "pro-Semite".

Pathetic.

Elon Musk says he's a 'pro-Semite, if anything' when questioned about his public attacks on George Soros

Twitter no longer ‘high risk’ after new chief hired, says top ad group


WPP-owned GroupM removed designation of platform after appointment of Linda Yaccarino



Hannah Murphy in San Francisco and Daniel Thomas in London 2 HOURS AGO

WPP-owned GroupM, one of the world’s top media agencies, has told clients it no longer considers Twitter “high risk”, just days after Elon Musk appointed advertising stalwart Linda Yaccarino as the social media platform’s new chief.

Musk last week announced he hired Yaccarino, NBCUniversal’s former head of advertising, to run Twitter while he stays on as chief technology officer and executive chair.

The move marked a push to woo back dozens of major advertisers who deserted the platform over Musk’s unorthodox leadership style and looser content moderation following his $44bn acquisition. The exodus wiped about 50 per cent off Twitter’s $5bn-a-year revenues.

In November, GroupM designated Twitter as “high risk” over its fears about the platform. But on Monday, the agency removed that classification, said three people familiar with the situation, a decision that is likely to encourage its clients to increase ad spending again.

Just shows that advertising is now nothing more than an in-kind political donation that is used to support the status quo of cultural marxism.

Most big firms spend a certain percentage of revenues on advertising. Most firms probably couldn't hazard a decent guess as to the effectiveness of their advertising if they really had to.

Fuck American corporations. Fuck America for that matter

Indeed. Just look at the following part of the article that I posted:

Other advertising agencies said brands were warming to the idea of returning to Twitter.

Sir Martin Sorrell, head of S4 Capital, said it was “early days, but her appointment will encourage clients to have another look”. He added: “Linda will make a difference if given the wiggle room.”
"Sir" Martin Sorrell is an extremely influential jew who founded WPP plc, which is the world's largest advertising and PR group. Here's an example of how WPP spreads race-mixing propaganda to white people by trying to get white women to view negroes as suitable romantic partners:

Musk’s brain implant firm gets approval for human trials


Neuralink aims to solve a range of medical complaints by implanting a chip into a subject’s skull

Neuralink, Elon Musk’s brain implant company which hopes to use its technology to treat conditions such as paralysis and blindness, has been cleared to conduct human trials after it received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the firm announced on Thursday.

“We are excited to share that we have received the FDA’s approval to launch our first in-human clinical study,” Neuralink said in a post on Twitter. Musk had predicted on several prior occasions that the technology would be cleared for testing, but a previous application in early 2022 was denied by the FDA, scientists who worked on the project told Reuters in March.

The approval is “an important first step that will one day allow our technology to help many people,” the company said, and is “the result of incredible work by the Neuralink team in close collaboration with the FDA.”

Musk ignites backlash with move to limit number of Twitter posts users can view


Owner of social media company says step was taken to address ‘scraping’ of data on platform



Hannah Murphy in San Francisco 24 MINUTES AGO

Twitter has sparked a backlash from users after Elon Musk said the social media platform was putting temporary limits on the number of posts they can view.

Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur who bought the company for $44bn in December, wrote on Twitter on Saturday that users with verified accounts — who pay $8 a month for a premium subscription service — could read 6,000 posts a day. Those with unverified accounts and new unverified accounts could read 600 and 300 tweets a day respectively, he said.

He added that the decision was taken to “address extreme levels of data scraping [and] system manipulation” on the platform.

Following intense criticism from users he later said these “rate limits” would be adjusted to 10,000 posts for verified accounts, and 1,000 or 500 for unverified accounts.

The move comes as artificial intelligence-powered chatbots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard — which scrape, or harvest data from the internet in order to power their models — have exploded in popularity. Twitter and rival Reddit have indicated their intention to prevent the groups from gathering data for free.

Elon “Yes ADL Daddy” Musk Bricks Twatter at Same Time as Anti-White Race Riots in France


THE TDC July 3, 2023



(...) I’d apologize for not getting pictures from the recent riots in France, but honestly, does it even matter? ZOG is the same everywhere, and what we’re seeing right now is yet another LIHOP, or “Let It Happen On Purpose.” The French Police brutally beat down the Yellow Vest Protesters. Yet now they are coddling these violent criminal rioters. I had no idea that the French state was unable to stop rioters from burning down the largest public library in France. News to me.

In possibly related news, twatter is down. I had no ability to access the site until just now, and it still appears janky. There was some speculation online that Musk intentionally shut down the site for some gay reason, probably because anti-White race riots are some of the best redpilling material around, even if that term is overused. However, others speculated that Elon “fake genius” Musk just refused to pay Google for data use, and then pivoted to pretending it was about combatting bots. Maybe the funniest answer is that they honestly tried rate limiting twatter, and just failed so hard that they bricked their own site. Wouldn’t put it past the guy who invented the Tesla Semi.

In short, we’ve got yet another chimp out in France. The police are intentionally letting it happen. ZOG continues being ZOG. And Elon Musk conveniently shuts down twatter at the same time as a politically productive habbening.

Twitter now blocks visitors from viewing tweets, and profiles unless they're logged in


Elon Musk continues to limit how the platform can be accessed.

By Matt Binder on June 30, 2023



UPDATE: Jun. 30, 2023, 6:15 p.m. EDT Elon Musk now claims this is a "temporary emergency measure."

Read the update and our original report below:

Go to Twitter without logging in to your account. Just go anywhere on the site. Try opening your favorite tweet or viewing your favorite creator's profile in a web browser on either your desktop or mobile device.

This is what you'll now see:



Twitter has now begun locking visitors out of the platform unless they're logged into their account. Visiting any Twitter page other than the homepage without being signed in will automatically forward users to a page where they can login or set up an account on the platform. Visitors cannot view any user content without logging in.
https://mashable.com/article/twitter...weets-profiles

This also means that fewer people will be able to watch Tucker Carlson's show on Twitter. You know, Tucker Carlson, the guy that the muskrat's master (((Jonathan Greenblatt))) desperately wants to silence.

Meta’s Threads surpasses 100M users in 5 days — while Twitter traffic ‘tanks’


By Ariel Zilber
July 10, 2023

Threads, the new “Twitter killer” app rolled out by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, has surpassed 100 million users in less than a week while Elon Musk’s micro-blogging site has seen traffic “tanking,” according to a tech executive.

The initial burst of success for Threads has fueled a war of words between Musk and Zuckerberg.
(...)
Not only have users been signing up to Threads through their Instagram accounts, but they have also been posting prolifically.

Since the system went online Wednesday, Threads users have written more than 95 million posts and clicked “like” on 190 million posts, according to the Verge.
(...)
Zuckerberg said Friday that the launch of Threads has been “way beyond our expectations.”

Zuckerberg wrote on Threads that his service will be a kindler, gentler version of Twitter.

“The goal is to keep it friendly as it expands. I think it’s possible and will ultimately be the key to its success,” he wrote.
https://nypost.com/2023/07/10/metas-...pasteboard_app

So when (((Fuckerberg))) announced that he was starting a new social media site that would compete with the muskrat's Twitter, the muskrat decided to give Fuckerberg a hand by making Twitter invisible to anybody who isn't logged in, thereby destroying his own site. Does that make sense?

...and I still can't read Twitter because the filthy muskrat has blocked it so that only people who have an account and are logged in can access it. And apparently, it's not even called Twitter anymore; it's X.

‘Completely irrational’: By changing Twitter’s name, Elon Musk is wiping out $4 billion to $20 billion in brand value


BYAISHA COUNTS, JESSE LEVINE AND BLOOMBERG
July 25, 2023 at 1:51 AM GMT+2



It’s rare for corporate brands to become so intertwined with everyday conversation that they become verbs. It’s rarer still for the owner of such a brand to announce plans to intentionally destroy it.

On Sunday, in the middle of a quiet summer weekend, Elon Musk decreed that Twitter’s product name would be changed to “X,” and that he is getting rid of the bird logo and all the associated words, including “tweet.” Musk’s move wiped out anywhere between $4 billion and $20 billion in value, according to analysts and brand agencies.

“It took 15-plus years to earn that much equity worldwide, so losing Twitter as a brand name is a significant financial hit,” said Steve Susi, director of brand communication at Siegel & Gale.

Musk, whose company has already declined significantly in value since he purchased it for $44 billion in October, announced the change on Saturday night. By Monday morning a new black “X” logo, designed by a fan over the weekend, began to appear across the site. New Chief Executive Officer Linda Yaccarino outlined the company’s vision for X to become a site for audio, video, messaging, payments and banking.

Indonesia invokes anti-porn laws against rebranded Twitter


The Muslim-majority country has blocked Elon Musk’s website X.com



Indonesia has blocked access to the website X.com chosen by Elon Musk for his rebranded social media platform formerly known as Twitter. The Muslim-majority country’s Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo) said the domain has been associated with illicit content.

“X.com was previously used to host other sites that were not complying with our laws and were included in the Kominfo blocklist,” the ministry’s spokesman, Usman Kansong, told reporters on Tuesday. He did not specify why exactly the domain name was blacklisted.

However, according to Al Jazeera, the website was blocked in line with the government’s crackdown on “negative content,” such as pornography and gambling.
(...)
Indonesia restricted access to video streaming service Netflix from 2016 to 2020, citing the promotion of “negative content such as pornography, LGBT or violence.”

X.com was the original URL of PayPal, which was founded by Elon Musk. I think he has some sentimental attachment to it, like a firstborn child.
