I hate when the media censors the media.

By "censor", do you mean "choose to report the stories that are relevant and verifiable"?

Twitter is allowed to choose not to engage in spreading revenge p0rn. But how do you feel about an alleged news outlet like Fox squashing the Stormy Daniels story just before an election?
And don't forget, the publisher of the National Enquirer (not exactly a reputable media organization, but still one that is widely read) paid thousands of dollars to "catch and Kill" (i.e. pay for the rights, but never publish them) stories that were potentially damaging to Trump. (This is actually a violation of campaign finance laws.)

So, Twitter decides not to publish hacked information on a non-politician (largely consisting of non-relevant information like revenge pr0n), in an action that does not break any laws -> Musk and the republicans think its a huge scandal
National Enquirer breaks campaign finance laws by killing stories about an actual republican candidate -> no big deal

Elon Musk says "more smoking guns" are on the way after Hunter Biden laptop exposé
hey now waldo! Apparently... "smoking guns" is a euphemism for "dick pics"!
I am sure Musk will provide "more smoking guns"... in two weeks!

This reminds me so much of Stubby McBonespurs, who would always make these grand promises for some point in the future (sometimes "two weeks", but just drop the subject.
Trump's Taxes to be released... In 2 weeks
Trump to release his proposed health care plan... in 2 weeks

I suspect either Musk will not release anything, or if he does, it will be as lame as his first release.

IT crunch culture alive at twitter it seems:  https://globalnews.ca/news/9334804/twitter-hq-investigation-elon-musk-illegal-bedrooms-san-francisco/

Gotta give Musk some credit though, he also sleeps at work.  But to expect his employees to behave like he does, which is work OCD, is a bit much.

LOL @ illegal beds!  It’s funny that you can own a building and need government permission to have a bed in it.  No wonder why California is going downhill so fast.

California? There are zoning restrictions everywhere and there are logical reasons why those restrictions exist

It is kinda weird that you can't just stick a bed somewhere though.  People aren't exactly making it their residence.  Unless Elon never lets them leave LOL

Exactly.  It shows you how ridiculous government overreach has gotten.  But I love how idiots are blaming it on zoning issues.  Like zoning has anything to do putting a bed inside a building you own.  It’s one of the reasons why people and businesses are fleeing California by the hundreds of thousands every year now.

I guess its the end result of a bunch of rules that actually do make sense, along with limitations on enforcement.

You don't want to allow people to live in office buildings or other work places for various health code and safety reasons. (e.g. you don't want to have people living in an asbestos factory because even though you can reduce the risks while working, being there 24/7 would inflate the risks. Fire safety might also be an issue.)

So why not allow them to stick in cots in a workplace for just a quick nap when needed? Well, how do you determine if someone is living there full time or just using it for the occasional late night when they are dealing with an emergency at work. I am pretty sure people would complain if they had inspectors checking bed usage in a workplace. So, better to just stop the practice altogether.

Buildings are zoned to be residential. Making it residential goes against zoning.. Nothing to do with California.

Zoning regulations are municipal, not state or federal.

Having a bed in a building doesn’t necessarily make it “residential”.  It’s funny how far you go to defend ridiculous government overreach.

Ok, it’s why people are fleeing places like San Francisco.
