Elon Musk has accused George Soros’s foundation of wanting to destroy western civilisation, as the tech tycoon prepares to meet the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, in California

Musk made the comment in reply to a post by a user sharing footage of people arriving on the Italian island of Lampedusa from north Africa that referred to a “George Soros led invasion” of Europe

“The Soros organization appears to want nothing less than the destruction of western civilization,” X’s owner posted[…]
Civil rights groups, including the Center for Countering Digital Hate and the ADL, have issued findings that the volume of hate speech on X has grown under the stewardship of Musk

Once again am I glad that I do not subscribe to Twitter (I refuse to call it “X”). May it fail spectacularly and serve as a warning to all who followed Musky-boy’s hateful crap.

Refugees: “...we’ve made it...after all we’ve been through...we’ve reached Italy!”
Elon Musk: “INVADERS!!! <bam bam bam>”

For these people, only ideas that come from Europe and the associated skin tone are worthwhile. Even though that mode of thinking has likely driven our species into the ground…

Musk is richer and has more political influence than Soros yet Soros is the one trying to destroy civilization?

…sayeth that which brought something you’d find in say… a toilet to work with him.

Which shows the level he works at. Frankly, the sink would do a better job than you, Muskrat.

In the world of Don’t Look Up, is Peter Isherwell (Mark Rylance) their counterpart to Musk?

People need to dump Twitter.

I found a site called Plurk, which works exactly like Twitter. However, no one uses it and my Plurk account is unused as a result.

Here’s Plurk…

THE SITE: https://www.plurk.com

MY PLURK PAGE: https://www.plurk.com/SpukiKitty75

… maybe this can become a thing! Time to Plurk-ify the web and make it mainstream. Time to demand that sites contain links to Plurk.

It’s the ol’ scapegoat. Soros is wealthy, Jewish and a distraction from the real bad guys.

Elon Musk is probably the specific person posing the greatest threat to humanity, and will definitively be once Putin and Trump die or otherwise leave the picture permanently. Change my mind.

@SpukiKitty02 #176750

The problem is, Twitter is what is called a "natural Monopoly" i.e. everyone is on Twitter because everyone else is. So, Twitter will keep it's strong position almost irrespective of how bad it becomes. And even if Twitter fails, it's place would likely be taken by some other large social media site, not something almost no one uses

@Taln_Reich #176768

So what would it take, short of a cataclysm, to disrupt that kind of bandwagon-monopoly? (Although nationalizing Twitter as a public utility has its appeal to me. Just know that the usual suspects will break out the torches and warscythes.)

@Taln_Reich #176768

Well, that can change. Get people to agree together and spread the word. It’s impossible to do on one’s own. Even my Plurk is unused.

However, if a bunch of people at once agree in a group and sign up together, it will be a start, then they can recruit others.

@Skyknight #176773

Honestly, I don't know. I really thought the introduction of limits to the number of tweets a unpaid account can look at would do it (given how important doom scrolling is) would do it, but apparently not.
With Tumblr, at least, it happened when Tumblr introduced overzealous anti-nudity rules that not only drove off all the porn creators and consumers, but also regular artists

@Taln_Reich #176768

It might last until users are fed up with the reading limits and advertisers don’t want their ads to be sandwiched between a call to establish a Fourth Reich and extracts from Daisy’s Destruction.

Netanyahu is ok with anti Semites apparently

Because somehow, Netanyahu is for western civilization? Musk has a strange conception of it himself and demonstrates it with his actions and relationships.

@Timjer:
I'm not on Twitter and have issued an early warning to friends and family when it changed hands, because its fall in fascism was very predictable. There was a history of rabbit hole radicalization on other networks and Twitter was already a bad example, but at least there was an effort to tag lies at some point. Twitter had massively been used for divisive disinformation IRT COVID too, if fact checking was to be dropped, chaos was predictable and by design...

@Conscience #176790

Well, Netanyahu’s son once posted this…

Alternatively, Netanyahu could mot view this as an issue of antisemitism, seeing as he may well hate Soros for non-antisemitic reasons, being politically opposed to him, (and, hypothetically, George Soros culd be an evil genius controlling and ruining the world but not because he is Jewish.

Also, he may see it as “they are talking about the Bad Jews, not Good Jews who are far-right like me” (as is the case with Ben Shapiro) - which, if you stay near enough to the entrance to the rabbit hole, may even be true. And he may potentially see Soros as the greater threat.

The Israelis need to work super-hard to vote Mister Yahoo’s butt OUT!
