I cannot find a thread on this, but think his recent interventions and comments could result in quite profound outcomes.

Suggesting that the situation in the UK could result in civil war is badly misinformed, extremely impertinent and dangerous.

He seems determined to get involved in politics and is using his own platform to do it. He has severely restricted moderation and restored previously the accounts of controversial people, who remain banned elsewhere. Including Trump and Yaxley-Lennon.

When the spread of disinformation and misinformation is known to have been the precursor for the rioting and the owner of the biggest platform is himself complicit in that spreading it seems to me that it hastens the day when restraining measures will be implemented.

The howls of protest will surely follow but our governments have an over-riding responsibility to keep the people safe from harm that trumps any concerns over free speech. Concerns that are false anyway because speech is already restricted to a degree and to tighten it up so new threats are addressed is both necessary and sensible.

The problem is how to do it. If platforms refuse to moderate themselves then those platforms will need to be moderated and access to markets removed.

If enough countries did that then it could be the end of X. Musk has always seemed to have a suicide wish over it anyway. For someone as successful as he is he does appear to be very stupid sometimes.

It won’t be easy because of his other interests and his litigious nature, but it needs to be done. The best outcome might be to force him to sell X so a new owner can restore control.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Maybe he would sell X to free up come cash to buy the Palace.

By the way to remove any question of doubt and something that is wokely written in ALL the press .......X (formerly twitter)........

I’ve literally just binned Twitter or X this week. It’s a jumbled up mish mash of a cesspit now. Any decent palace fans who I followed on there for a bit of banter and nostalgia get swallowed up in all the depressing bollocks like fans arguing the toss over every little thing about the club.
Plus I got fed up seeing stuff from people I don’t even follow, especially if it’s politics, wars, riots etc

Good riddance

Agree - he's absolutely ruined what was a good platform.

The 'For You' section which is a never-ending feed of content from accounts that you don't follow is an absolute shambles.

It's a real weird journey he's undergone Elon - but then he's a very weird bloke.

we seem to already be in WWIII.

Ukraine, Israel/Palestine. With new players taking sides every month. Iran ? Taiwan ? Cuba ?

it seems to be NATO versus Russia, China, and the Islamic World. I cannot comment on the rest of the BRIC economies ?

Millions of migrant men, wandering North West from say, Syria & Tunisia.....its all part of Putin's Plan. As they start filling up the British Isles, the social & economic pressure gets to bursting point.

What i cannot understand is how countries receiving all these men are generously paying for the madness ?

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

You mean a platform stuffed full of lefty nutcases?

It was a leftist cesspit, and now Musk is cleaning up and redressing the balance.
