I’m surprised he hasn’t got rid of it yet. Maybe he has to have it in order to keep his few remaining advertisers?

I think (I hope) the last line is from a completely different post, not a reply to the black woman. Tbh I thought it must have been a reply to someone with an NFT chimp avatar. It’s much nicer here in my naïve/sheltered mind than the real world 😕

I think she’s attaching his chimp comment in her reply as a way of displaying his hypocrisy.

But I’m not sure. I’ve never used Twitter and always find the screenshots stupid to read.

I haven’t added one myself, but this is my understanding: all Twitter users can opt into the community notes feature but at first you can only rate notes as helpful or unhelpful. Once you’ve rated 5 notes you have the ability to write your own. You can do so on any tweet, but if your note(s) don’t get enough “helpful” ratings, you lose your ability to write them. You have to go back to rating notes - once you’ve rated 5 more you can write again.

When you add a note you chose a reason why you’re adding it, similar to explaining why you’re reporting a comment on lemmy. If you say that the original tweet is misleading you have to say why and provide a source. It only shows on the tweet to everyone if you get enough “helpful” ratings from the people who have opted into the scheme.

Not very EILI5 but you get the jist!

I really don’t know. But I’ve had to give multiple warnings, a temporary ban and a permanent ban already so I really hope we can just stick to enjoying musk being called out and not argue over irrelevant/nonexistent issues.

No, he’s not quite that horrific (in public). A few of us discussed it in this thread.

Edit: I think I messed the link up. Try this.

No the girl is showing a screenshot of his tweet where he blocked someone, nested inside her tweet, in response to him saying that blocking makes no sense. .

It’s 3 days old. You joke, but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he fired the policy advisors.

Elmo doesn’t run ideas past people. He’s reached the no-filter point where he just posts whatever he thinks of as the next twitter policy. He’s done that pretty much since Day 1 at twitter, and he was getting close to that at tesla.

There’s a theory that the drugs he was reportedly doing to stay awake 23 hours a day while the Model 3 was a non-shipping supply chain disaster (which threatened him with the loss of a multi-billion dollar bonus, iirc) gave him a speed induced psychosis. He was always an arrogant prick who used lies to con people, now he’s someone with a decompensated personality disorder on top of that.

I believe his lack of content moderation has already led to several violations of european laws which are making their way through the courts.

He will simply walk it back once they’re actually threatened with having their app pulled.
