Musk announced that he is removing all blue check-marks from anyone who does not pay the $8/month fee.  I can't wait until celebrities, businesses, and news organisations shout their twitter accounts down, who others try to spoof them, leaving Musk with nothing but a far right echo chamber, where his loyal followers kiss his ass 24/7.

I'm beginning to wonder if Musk is mentally ill.

He has delusions of grandeur.  He's weird and has a fragile ego, like Trump.

Two horrible people engaged in a Twitter battle. Time to sit back, and make some popcorn...

Whoopsie!

SpaceX launched the largest rocket ever built for the first time on Thursday from its Boca Chica, Texas, spaceport. The Starship spacecraft, designed to fly people on a Mars mission someday, lifted off the launch pad then blew up in mid-flight, with no crew on board.

Now, residents and researchers are scrambling to assess the impact of the explosion on local communities, their health, habitat and wildlife including endangered species. Of primary concern is the large amount of sand- and ash-like particulate matter and heavier debris kicked up by the launch. The particulate emissions spread far beyond the expected debris field.

As a result of the explosion, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded the company’s Starship Super Heavy launch program pending results of a “mishap investigation,” part of standard practice, according to an email from the agency sent to CNBC after the launch. No injuries or public property damage had yet been reported to the agency as of Friday.

Dammit.  Much as I don't like Musk, I want to see people on Mars before I die.

Well leaving aside there's no benefit to sending humans to Mars that justifies the cost when you can send robots for much less, the technology to support a six-month journey to and sustained presence on Mars simply does not exist in any form.

Elon is promoting a right-wing conspiracy theory that the guy with swastika and SS tattoos who killed 8 people at the mall in Texas was some kind of psyop or false flag.

Twitter has a new CEO. Musk announced today that "she will be starting her position in about 6 weeks."  However, reliable sources have uncovered a photo of the mysterious woman:

Elon's twitter is a haven for graphic videos of animal torture.
Quote
Graphic videos of animal abuse have circulated widely on Twitter in recent weeks, generating outrage and renewed concern over the platform’s moderation practices.

One such video, in which a kitten appears to be placed inside a blender and then killed, has become so notorious that reactions to it have become their own genre of internet content.
...
The spread of the video as well as its presence in Twitter’s suggested searches is part of a worrying trend of animal cruelty videos that have littered the social media platform following Elon Musk’s takeover, which included mass layoffs and deep cuts to the company’s content moderation and safety teams.

Last weekend, gory videos from two violent events in Texas spread on Twitter, with some users saying that the images had been pushed into the platform’s algorithmic “For You” feed.

The animal abuse videos appear to predate those videos. Various users have tweeted that they have seen the cat video, with some trying to get Musk’s attention on the issue — some dating back to early May. Clemens said she flagged the video on May 3 to Twitter’s support account and Ella Irwin, the vice president of trust and safety at Twitter and one of Musk’s closest advisers.

Free speech absolutist Elon Musk bends over for Turkish government's request to censor content ahead of election.


Quote
Twitter is facing criticism for restricting content in Turkey ahead of Sunday’s election.

“In response to legal process and to ensure Twitter remains available to the people of Turkey, we have taken action to restrict access to some content in Turkey today,” the company’s Global Government Affairs account tweeted in both English and Turkish on Friday night.

“We have informed the account holders of this action in line with our policy,” it added. “This content will remain available in the rest of the world.”

Not really. "Limiting access to some tweets" here means "doing the government's bidding and throttling opposition voices." A true free speech absolutist would rather shut everything down rather than be used as a tool by an authoritarian government.
