Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Jim Jordan, McCarthy, Dinesh D’Souza, Donald Trump, Jordan Peterson, “endwokeness” - wonderful influences for a fucked up man-child.

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.

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

Every social media for as long as I can remember removes the profiles of mass shooters. Youtube does it, twitter used to do it, facebook does it, etc. Do you really think the fbi wouldn’t be able to get the data because an account was removed from the platform? use your brain people

That’s a bit absurd. In what way is this evidence? Evidence of what crime?

I know it’s absurd. Even if I had proof of something illegal, I have zero authority to do anything about it. I’m just venting because I’m annoyed, and I’m sick of Musk’s constant bullshit.

It helps establish a motive for the killer, which is very important in a court of law. Knowing why someone did something affects sentencing, for example.

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.”

We call them Mainers here in Maine. There’s thousands of them. My only hope is they’re rethinking basing their personality off hate. I doubt it though.

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.

You could catch them dressed as Hitler, with a hand written copy of Elders of Zion, in the middle of lynching a jew, and they’d still claim “the left just calls everyone who disagrees with them a Nazi”.

Same reason he skipped out of South Africa before the SADF conscripted him into the Apartheid war machine… him and his ilk believe the dirty and bloody work is beneath them.

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.
