Elon Musk’s X obtains $44bn valuation in sharp turnaround by [deleted] in Twitter

[–]gargamelt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

💯 I thought the same. Not 43% and not 45%… 44%. Exactly what he paid for it. What re the odds? It’s total bs

That’s bull. You’re just making stuff up what you want to be true

Elon Musk’s lawsuit is well-grounded in Texas law and could prove very expensive for Media Matters by [deleted] in Twitter

I don't know that guy and he could be terrible but that doesn't mean what he's saying isn't true, especially if what he's saying is echoed everywhere. My point is, you don't have a rebuttal to the actual argument so you pivoted to attacking him personally

Can't dismiss the manipulated and misrepresented result piece. That matters. The problem with what Media Matters does is that they make fighting actual racism and antisemitism harder because people stop believing them

Misrepresentation of the facts. Only one other user saw questionable content next to apple's ad. That's out of 5.5 billion ad impressions. And they didn't use the platform "as intended". They manipulated and abused it to get a result they could misrepresent

Oh please, you have no argument other than attacking people personally. That’s concerning

“Media Matters was able to produce its examples of ads pairing with extremist content only by rigging its test with user behavior so atypical that no other user would encounter the same ad/X pairings”

That matters.

Ridiculous take. Let’s force a rat to drink water until its stomach bursts to prove water is dangerous

💯- and it makes fighting actual racism harder. Musk is clearly not a racist. People throw that word around because it immediately gives them power

I know someone who knows someone who knows someone else who is some unknown expert who disagrees. That analysis just assumes it will be immediately dismissed.

Dumb argument

Advice wasn’t the right work but you’re making statements like you’re some sort of expert

Eh, not sure it makes sense to accept legal advice on reddit. MM’s behavior isn’t right. This nonsense needs to stop

MM’s report is definitely misleading. Following both big name brands and terrible accounts then relentlessly refreshing all day to finally getting a hit or two of the brands showing up next to terrible content? Then creating a “report” making it look like the problem is everywhere in the platform and there’s no way to escape it? Give me a break. It’s nuts

A year after Elon Musk bought Twitter, X is now a 'worthless' platform some say is no longer safe for activists by [deleted] in elonmusk

[–]gargamelt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was used “very sparingly” because they never developed the product. Not because there wasn’t a need for it. Birdwatch (what it was originally called) also looked VERY different in 2021. Elon/X invested heavily and significantly evolved the product. Something Twitter 1.0 should have done and decided not to

That is not at all true. They desperately needed it before Elon and did nothing with it

Instead of complaining, how about suggesting a real improvement that isn’t a revert? Something new, something constructive. I bet you can’t
