Can we say Election Interference? Possibly illegal campaign contribution?

What a butt wipe of a human bean.

This is probably not legal.

That happened to me the other day, but I kept trying to follow the page and after an after an hour or so my request went through. At first I thought X was blocking me, but then I wondered if maybe too many people were trying to follow her at the same time and the system got overloaded and couldn't process all the requests at once.

Schitter is a pile of crap of a platform.

Musk responded by posting a screenshot of the error message accompanied by a gloating remark: "Sure did."

Apparently Elmo was very proud of his actions. Looks like Elmo is going full maga.

They are aching for a civil war, without the comprehension of what that really means.
Actions like this are beyond dangerously stupid.

South African megalomaniac Elon Musk is applying electronic apartheid on "X" (FKA Twitter). Earlier this year, an "X" account for Nelson Mandela's grandson's was mysteriously deleted during his Freedom Flotilla voyage to the Gaza Strip.

By his actions, South African Elon Musk is potentially vulnerable to denaturalization per the USCIS. We are looking at "willful misrepresentation" or "affiliation with certain organizations."

Will it happen? Probably not. Will the megalomaniac enjoy the process of defending himself in court? No.

The link below catalogs hundreds of denaturalized US citizens for "willful misrepresentation" or "affiliation with certain organizations."

Note the proliferation of neo-Nazi and Nazi messages in "X" in the recent NBC report at bottom.

@#6 ... Musk responded by posting a screenshot of the error message accompanied by a gloating remark: "Sure did." ...

Another view...

OpEd: Elon Musk: X Twitter Election Interference is By Design
www.flyingpenguin.com

... Multiple reports allege that xTwitter has started actively blocking views for a political candidate they dislike.

- - - Attempts to follow @KamalaHQ, Harris's official rapid response page, resulted in an error message stating "something went wrong" or that users had reached their follow limit, preventing them from following any more accounts.

- - - Musk responded by posting a screenshot of the error message accompanied by a gloating remark: "Sure did." ...

In apartheid era Suid-Afrika, this practice was called "banning" and our future POTUS would be derided by the racists there as a "kaffir."

@#13 ... people still use that site? ...

Probably less now than in the past because the site is based upon facts.

I sold all of my Tesla stock, and just in time too, down 7%, on a failed earnings call.
I don't like Musk. He is a racist Afrikaner for sure. It's a pity, he could have been
such a powerful uniter, but he cannot seemingly escape the baggage he was raised with.
Sad, for such a 'reportedly brilliant man', that he remains blind to what is holding him back.

Ah well, Musk joins the very long list of 'disappointing brilliant men' from history.

That he has done this is no surprise.

Wasn't Musk pro-trans until his ex left him and started dating someone trans?

#16 | Posted by Sycophant at 2024-07-24 10:20 AM

Tesla stock is now down 12%

I think this has a lot more to do with his son Xavier being trans. Musk basically went full Jordan Peterson in response.

"I think this has a lot more to do with his son Xavier being trans."

I think it's too much ketamine.

"Ketamine is classified as a dissociative drug because it can alter a person's sense of reality and cause feelings of detachment from one's body and the environment."

This is absolutely wrong. Having said that the left cheered this type of thing in 2020.

#20 | Posted by BellRinger at 2024-07-24 05:23 PM

Can't ever say anything without the "whatabout".

#21 | Posted by YAV at 2024-07-24 07:35 PM

Electronic apartheid and "banning". South African-born Elon Musk knows all about these tactics.

#22 | Posted by C0RI0LANUS at 2024-07-24 07:38 PM

Calling out obvious hypocrisy is well deserved.

#23 | Posted by BellRinger at 2024-07-24 07:38 PM

Not only that, but it's a straight up lie.

You can always count on BullBringer to lie.

The sad thing about the sneaky new Democrats is their born again hypocrisy attacking Americans. Repubs and Elon for doing exactly what they and big tech did in 2020. And also that sneaky lying marxist Obama Dems are also known as the sneaky shiv as they are losers that will never win anything. Hunter Biden artwork collection for sale cheap. A failed Dem Presidency will lead to another failed attempt.

We aren't sneaky. None of us plot and plan. Our biggest fault is we say whatever we think. We don't "game." You are hilarious, though.

What big tech did? Allow russian agents to infiltrate their social media sites and spread lies and division?

Corky said it best in #2.

Number 2! :-)

The sad thing about diaper-wearing Fat Donnie Felon is that idiot dupes like Robotson make complete fools of themselves drooling and crapping their pants on social media while actual humans point and laugh.
