Ah, so he's going to stop posting there? Right?

Now that the election is over and we won, let's remove our bots. - musk

No no, guys, you're misunderstanding. He MEANS there's too much negativity from people saying things like "X sucks since musk bought twitter....."

He's going to change those people's tweets to say "X is great!"

And by that I mean he's going to have a team to edit tweets that he doesn't like!

If that's not free speech, then Musk doesn't know what is!

He’s shutting down his account?

Lol. Free Speech guy!

free speech absolutist

my puppet is in power — everyone be nice now.

Instead of “bad” you have to say “ungood” from now on.

X/Twitter is a misinformation platform. If you know a major influencer that uses, consider informing and directing them to the ActivityPub alternatives, even advertising on their platforms if you can.

Closing the shop will achieve that goal perfectly.

negativity about him.

I thought the whole point of being right wing was being negative?

Right, he should remove the last few humans and replace them with bots.

Now that the election is over, he’s hiding the lightning rod.

He's such a fucking baby

Incumbent wants everyone to talk about how great things are.

More circus and bread. Classic move

Project mayhem needs to take his balls

Don't want any Debbie-downers on Shitter once his bestie is in the big chair.

I mean in principle this is just a matter of moderation being different from censorship.

But really, an "algorithm tweak"? I am still wondering when or why who decided that we needed to have "algorithms" that someone could "tweak" on the Internet at all. The first kind of "social media" I ever used was web forums where the entire "algorithm" was thread bumping, and even if you insist that we need to have the structure of a microblog: Mastodon does fine without an "algorithm" beyond reverse-chronological sorting.

I'm curious whether Truth Social will acquire Xitter, or vice versa.

And when.

My bet is on a scenario where Elon is going to ban people for using 'cisgender' term rather than downranking them.

Should just use his AI to turn all the negative comments into positive ones.

Problem solved 🙃

Reading the title I thought he'll retire.

Now that his pick has won the election there’ll be no need for negativity now!
