“Fails” to me suggests Elmo tried but did not succeed. I would use language more like “hate speech is deliberately being allowed on Elon’s social dumpster fire”, personally.

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.

I’m sure they were trying r e a l l y hard …
I’m not sure they were trying…
Are you kidding? Apartheid Edgelord is trying! VERY trying!
(We're using the same sense of "trying" here, right?)
That's the joke
Maybe people should quit using Twitter.
I did. It's hard not to be bias (as I'm not a fan of Musk in the first place) but I'm certain Twitter got worse after his opulent acquisition of it.
It absolutely did.
I’m all for eliminating hate speech but is the hate speech we’re talking about here just people saying, “what Israel is doing to Palestinians is genocide” or “Israel and it’s allies are in direct violation of the Geneva convention”?
I absolutely despise fElon Musk but if so, that’s not hate speech. That’s an ethno-state intentionally conflating dissent with hate speech in order to get away with an ethnic cleansing.
edit: this is indeed what this article is referring to in some cases. I know for a fact that that’s the case because they didn’t even cite a single tweet. Anti-semitism is a hate crime, calling out an ethnic cleansing is not.
Issue is, Elon Musk has a lot to gain by allowing hate speech on his platform.
There's a strong correlation between hate speech and wanting to give corporations both tax breaks and absolute power.
But muh freeze peach!
Maybe they 'failed' because Elon agrees with them.
