Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Jim Jordan, McCarthy, Dinesh D’Souza, Donald Trump, Jordan Peterson, “endwokeness” - wonderful influences for a fucked up man.
Reactionary right figures inspiring stochastic terrorism? Say it ain’t so!
You can keep going… Charlie Kirk, Benny Johnson, Hodge Twins and f*cking catturd
edit: oh and Robert Kennedy Jr, I totally missed him until now, that’s great
Dude was 40 years old. Man-child, not a kid.
Missed that. Thx - edited
Kid? Isn’t he like 40?
Yes, but like a proud boy 40.
My bad. I didn’t catch that.
Destroying evidence is a crime. Put the fucker in prison.
I would assume that they retain the data and are just hiding it from public view. That way they can fulfill one of their organizational goals, trying to prevent useful or accurate information from reaching the public, but still have the ability to respond to a subpoena.
but still have the ability to respond to a subpoena
I feel like I should laugh at this, yet not.
I wonder if subpoenas get the poop emoji back when they are sent to Twitter.
Also, it had to actually be evidence of a crime. Following Elon may be a bad-look association but it’s not likely related to any crimes
You might be right, but trying to apply logic and reason to Musk’s behavior is always a gamble.
I used to work for a company with a product for putting a legal hold on people’s accounts. It archived the data off to a safe place, with a signature so you can tell it wasn’t tampered with. By default, it kept things six months, but as soon as it ran, you’re free to delete the public copy
That’s a bit absurd. In what way is this evidence? Evidence of what crime?
So he wasn’t just unstable, he was that particular brand of right wing conspiracy theory omg the libruls want to destroy America brand of unstable.
that scene from The Boys when the guy gets radicalized through online and TV sources to ultimately end up killing someone only for the exact people who encouraged that shit to distance themselves from the situation rapidly is so well done and probably flew right fucking over the head of most republican voters who watch that show
Almost, they realized they were one of the ones being made fun of. To them, The Boys “went woke.”
If Elon loves being authoritarian, why does he try to distance himself from far right terrorists?
They know they have to stay mask on, no matter what.
They tried the whole “haha, we were nazis all along!” thing with the tiki torches and Unite the Right rally. They lost their jobs, families and the platform they’d built out of plausible deniability.
He wants to sell more electric cars. He used to be ok at fake messaging, but he went all in on right wing grievance politics 5 years ago and he can’t escape it now. He sided with the people who hate electric cars, but that’s just his brain damage.
the coward Elon can’t admit he knowingly incites this exact behavior
Of course he did. What’s the provenance of this history?
Twitter sleuths, as usual.
Here’s a video of someone scrolling his likes before it was scrubbed:
https://twitter.com/EliotHiggins/status/1717462615272632534/video/1
How many users were they subscribed to overall?
Don’t think he was subscribed to anyone, but the video shows following only 14 people. Probably includes Musk, Don Jr, Tucker, etc
Elon, y u no like your fanboys? :(
“iTs BeCaUsE tHeY tEcAh EvOlUtiOn iN sCHoOLs aNd aLlOw aBoRtIoNs!!!”
You can get this info?
Someone want to say what “resist_05” is?
If you have API access, just a matter of the right query for all public info. It’s how statistics analysis on Twitter are done by universities etc, at least before he made API access too expensive for them.
Resist_05 looks maybe like a disinformation amplifying account, follows dom lucre and that antisemitic warmonitors account, etc.
edit: speaking of that warmonitors account, icymi
I’m shocked that viewing history for individual accounts is public info!
If the account is set to public, then yes, pretty much everything available except DMs. If you have it set to private, then no, at least not from the public APIs.
That’s fucked up. It’s not that different from leaving your browser history for the world to see when there are jokes about taking browser history to the grave.
fyi, unless something has changed (and anyone feel free to correct or update me), Mastodon is every bit as open. Last I checked, DMs aren’t even as private as on Twitter, and it’s recommended to use DMs only as a less-public direct message, and not use it for anything private that you wouldn’t want to risk getting leaked anywhere.
If you use your public tweets like a private diary you’re going to have a bad time. If this hypothetical person is ashamed of their deviant sex behaviors, don’t use Twitter.
Hell the privacy minded even say an incognito browser is still not very private.
But to claim your Twitter history is private is a bit of a stretch.
That said I don’t use Twitter so do people use it like a diary?
the shocking things isn’t so much that it’s not private per se: we expect twitter to see everything we do and “personalise our experience”… we don’t expect arbitrary people to be able to
Anytime you see one of those vast Twitter connection charts between disinformation accounts that make you think of this guy
well, that’s one way how they make them.
Well it’s not a matter of just this guy, but also normal people who aren’t criminals, extremists, or politicians. While still awful, it’s one thing to use that info for profit by giving other companies access to it. It’s another thing to make it accessible to just about anyone.
That said I don’t use Twitter so do people use it like a diary?
No point asking me, I never use Twitter either.
I’m security minded which means I don’t have a fucking Twatler account.
I was already rolling my eyes at another mislabeling of anyone who criticises Israel in any way but no… this is the real thing.
You know it’s bad when Elon can’t cover it up with a 💩
This is making me wonder if he scrubbed the account not only because Elon was viewed so much, but because he had recommended that warmonitors account before deleting the post, and probably many of the others. So guilt by association as well.
Here is the problem I see- you make this news and maga will immediately turn it into a deep state/antifai/Soros/FBI false flag operation.
Maybe they have already, i stay out of that nonsense these days. You just can’t change these people’s minds as easy as they can be programmed by right wing media.
Pretty obvious what this guy was listening to and I’m sad for the families that have to deal with his bullshit actions. I can’t even imagine being gunned down just bowling with friends. We can’t ignore the RW media’s role in this.
We are still waiting for that Trans shooter’s manifesto that was never released. We have enough actual instances of Tom fuckery woth the government that we don’t need to make more
The trans shooter manifesto will probably never be released, it’s probably deeply personal and about the abuses he sufferred at the hands of some predator at that school, i don’t get why that’s somehow a cover up?
There’s no reason to. I thought we were against glorifying shooters
Because other manifestos are released almost instantly. Esp when they fit an agenda.
Musk is an accomplice.
Very unsuspicious
All of these people will of course have their excuses ready why their constant button pushing couldn’t possibly have set this nut off.
Jim Cramer…
Look at whatever this guy was against and support those things.
