You're so vain
You probably think this tweet is about you
You're so vain (you're so vain)
I bet you think this tweet is about you
Don't you don't you?

You walked onto the platform like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hair strategically slicked behind your ears
Your scarf it was in a knot
You had one eye on the market to watch your Tesla spot
And all the Rs dreamed that you'd be their partner
You'd be their partner and....

Claiming credit for the creativity and ingenuity of others is the story of Musk’s life.

Are you familiar with the First Amendment? The government can't censor the media, not even through a third party.

Maybe it’s time. More democratic countries in Europe protect their citizens through policing the web and other forms of media. There’s no reason why we shouldn’t move into the 21st Century.

I never thought we'd reach a point where the left seriously discusses 1A as a bad thing.

As it should; evidently Elon Mush should be curtailed. This is the equivalent of shouting fire in the ears of vulnerable people.

And yet we allow Pharma companies to advertise directly to consumers. If you think conversations about medications should be limited to doctors only, you should also want to eliminate the advertisements.

One would think that would mean being against death threats, and allow simple statements like “only females get cervical cancer”. At Twitter, it’s the exact opposite. Death threats are permitted, and acknowledging biological reality gets accounts suspended.

Department of disinformation would be exactly like Twitter now. Bad news

That's because you don't understand the context of those discussions.

And those limitations are far weaker than what the left has been implementing.

I didn't see anywhere Musk claimed credit for the graphic.

In what context is a death threat acceptable? In what context is stating only females get cervical cancer a reason to close someone’s account? Do you see how these things have a chilling effect on the idea of free speech?

Anyone else notice a difference in their Twitter feeds over the past week? Mine used to be a very balanced mix of sports, News/politics, entertainment and random people. The past few days, it’s pretty much just the sports and and news/politics blue checks, and basically nothing else.
