I had high hopes for Elon Musk and Twitter. In the first few days of his new ownership, he seemed like he was on the right path. But everything quickly changed, and now, Elon is acting pretty much like the CEO who he just fired. All the old “election integrity” nonsense and censorship tools are back in place after Elon met with hate groups ADL and NAACP. Elon also has a massive Stage 5 TDS lunatic, running the entire “Twitter safety” operation. This is the guy who deemed half of the country “Nazis” because we voted for the “Orange man.”
Conservative influencers are calling for this man, whose name is Yeol Roth, to be fired, along with anybody else with this TDS attitude, or who stopped the Hunter laptop story, which was 100 percent election interference.
Dear @elonmusk,

I want you to succeed at Twitter.
This critique is based only on cold hard facts:
You will never restore "public trust" at Twitter when the guy in charge thinks 100,000,000 Americans who support America First are "Literal Nazis"

How is this any different from what it was before? Do you really think things will change with this guy still at the helm?
Give me a break.
Look what happened to conservative radio host Jesse Kelly’s tweet about this banana republic voting system we now have. It was censored so badly, you can’t even reply to it.
Breitbart reported that Elon Musk has agreed to restore Twitter content moderation tools that had been blocked for some workers by the end of the week, according to leaders of leftist groups including the ADL and NAACP who met with Musk eager to expand censorship on the platform.
Bloomberg reports that Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk recently promised civil rights leaders that he will restore access to content moderation tools that some staff had been locked out of by the end of the week.
During a Zoom meeting with the heads of some of the country’s leading leftist organizations, including the NAACP, Color of Change, and the ADL, Musk committed to restoring access to the tools.
Civil rights organizations raised worries about Musk’s plan to eliminate censorship on the platform and restore the accounts of users who had been expelled. According to Bloomberg, Twitter recently limited the number of people with access to the dashboard of tools that the Trust and Safety team utilizes to enforce policy actions.
ADL representative Yael Eisenstadt, Jessica Gonzalez, the head of digital rights group Free Press, and Rashad Robinson, the president of Color of Change, who were present at the meeting, said that Musk agreed with their concerns about speech on the platform and would work with them.
Musk, the sole Twitter representative on the virtual call, said he would create speech policies to protect “disadvantaged communities” and make the reasoning behind decisions to restore accounts of individuals who have been barred from the platform more transparent — without mentioning former President Donald Trump by name.
“He said he would continue consulting with the people of color, religious minorities and people most impacted by hate and disinformation on the platform,” said Free Press’s Gonzalez.
And trust me, conservatives were not happy about this… It’s “business as usual.”
“When it comes to unfairly suspended accounts being reinstated, it looks like @elonmusk is only listening to the same assholes responsible for the BS and other far left groups who could always say anything they wanted. The only group targeted – Conservatives – are getting shafted.”

I really wanted to believe that Elon would stand up for us, and at least give us a fair shot at sharing our opinions, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. You’ll still get censored and/or suspended if you call out the gender-related mental illness, or dare to suggest our elections are ABSURD and rife with cheating, or any other “Democrat no-no” word.
Maybe Elon will change, I don’t know. But now, after letting the left back in, like he did, it’ll be very hard to do that, and I am sure he knows that.
What a shame.
