This f***er really said "opinion manipulators." It is so rich that that is coming from Musk. The asshole who is extremely blatantly trying to manipulate opinions. He actively goes out of his way to attack journalists and attempt to stifle left-wing voices, while simultaneously amplifying right-wing voices, AND being apparently a personal 24/7 online Twitter service support for the most elite of the right-wing grifters. I know a lot of right-wing accusations are just projections, but Musk in particular is an IMAX projector.

In today's episode of "The modern day Socrates wants you to come up with ideas for him to take credit over." Never forget he's the man who made all Tesla's patents open for everyone to use with the massive caveats where you can't sue Tesla should they infringe on your patents, oppose any of Tesla's patent applications and any advancements you make to improve on a concept Tesla patented becomes theirs to use for free, and potentially patent from under you. Smaller rivals who work with the supposedly free material become unable to defend patents on anything, and act as free R&D for Tesla.

They’re killing free access to Twitter API on February 9th. Naturally, they’ll be offering a paid access tier after that date. God. Damn. Dumbass. Speaking of that paid access, is he on crack? Don't answer that. The dedicated account manager part stands out. Do they have enough staff left for that?

Crack down on the opposition while Twitter becomes nothing more than a propaganda outlet.

I'm half laughing because this shitfest is legitimately funny and half pissed because I'm trying to grow my art portfolio and Twitter sucks now. My wife is an artist and in the same bind. She hates what twitter is now, but there's really no other platform for what she does. Sad part is, Twitter WAS the other platform not too long ago; that's where all the artists went after Tumblr nosedived, and now Twitter is following suit in grand fashion. And now you have the AI prompt jockeys looming in the distance (shocked Musk hasn't jumped on top of that, it's a whole "taking credit for someone else's work" engine). Rough time to be an artist right now, or a creative of any kind.

I will never forgive Rupert Murdoch for what his papers did to my parents brains and the horrendous lies I grew up believing.

It's sad to see Twitter going down this path even though I'm not big on social media myself. It's pretty much going to be the FNC of social media platforms, where the majority of content is going to be incredibly biased.

Meta platforms remove anything saucier than PG13 (Instagram also has really shitty cropping and compression for art). Hell, sometimes the auto-system removes posts for no real reason. And DeviantArt and Artstation have fully embraced AI "art." Twitter was one of the last safe havens. Though maybe Tumblr trying to rehab its image will help out.

Murdoch is literally one of the worst human beings on the planet, there is no one who has done as much damage to social and political discourse in the Anglosphere as that shrivelled old bastard. Twats like Musk are following his lead really, just with a different medium.

Look forward to even more ads appearing in the replies to tweets because today Musk has announced that Twitter Blue people will get a cut of the ad revenue from the ads in the replies to their tweets. >_>

Elon Musk taking a break from purposefully making Twitter more miserable because his baby mama left him for a transwoman to accidentally make Twitter more miserable in his quest to make money off of a website that was never designed to generate profit. He has exactly two motivations in this world, and they're both bad.

Musk would be a cordyceps denier. He'd be on Twitter spreading conspiracy theories about how the spores are not the cause and the whole thing is a hoax. He'd end his life as a bloater shuffling around his mansion twenty years after the collapse of society.
