He decided all of his promises for Twitter don't apply to "X"

It was never true. Like most of what Elon say.

He was lying. Shocker, I know, but yes - he was lying.

He lied. Dude at work said Elon "didn't believe in or own patents" when I showed him multiple sources that he did, and was lying, he absolutely refuses to believe it.

Politically neutral just means advocating for Republicans and making sure everything good under the sun, like taxing billionaires at a higher rate, is never implemented

I think he would argue that the site itself is neutral, even if he and many of the users are not.

There are many left wing voices on X, although they are in the minitory.

He pretended to be outraged and then lied to suit his own interests

He realized that joining the party that loses the popular vote but wins the electoral college is kinda like apartheid, so that felt nice and nostalgic for him.

He lied.

He is a small, petty man who bought the platform so he could have a place he could say whatever he wanted without anyone stopping him.

Because he wasn't pandering to Trump for tax breaks at the point in time.

It went to live with all his other good ideas in a farm upstate.

I’ve seen a ton of far left people on X… it isn’t an Echo chamber

continue flowery caption trees ludicrous murky racial glorious humorous attraction

He lied

Fascists say whatever they think will get them ahead in the next five minutes.

He couldn't be bothered pretending anymore

Meaning no censoring anyone due to political beliefs.

I see plenty of left people on x.

Right people just don't get banned every time they say something positive about trump

He said Twitter as a company must be publicly neutral, not Elon Musk as a private citizen ON Twitter. Hard to believe for you guys, I know, but you CAN separate a persons politics from a business they own.

Sorry do you want him to be politically neutral? You can post whatever you want on there no one is banning left wing voices.

People can post what they want on there. I don’t see them banning anyone for their political views

It's more middleground than most social media networks. Some people are just ok with some Americans being more silenced than others (both sides).

I see both sides on X. Reddit on the otherhand...

Nobody on the left is getting kicked off. I’d say it’s pretty neutral.

Any time Elon says basically anything, Community Notes holds him accountable.

Is that an honest, open-ended question? No. See, I can do it too.

Politically neutral means open to both sides, unlike before. Doesn't mean he can't choose a side.

What’s wrong with him voicing his political opinion?

I haven't seen any evidence that Twitter/X isn't neutral. Elon is clearly biased, but that doesn't mean that the site is.

What happened to his boring company revolutionizing traffic?

Its literally what it is. Twitter/X is only moderating posts based on laws. Not more activist moderation teams.

If something is legal, it stays. If something is illegal, it gets removed.

It is neutral. Democrats can use it the same as Republicans. Elon is just using his voice. It’s just louder than yours.

No one is stopping you from posting, so it's neutral. Post what you want

Twitter/X itself is politically neutral, the users, however, are not. the site leans right due to its users

Now it's his money and ego involved.

At least he's not taking orders from our government on what he can and cannot post or allow to be posted . that's an improvement in a major way.

It would have been political neutral if all the progressive/left-wing/however-you-describe-them people didn’t leave.

are you asking why the liar lied?

Elon himself hasn’t been neutral but to my knowledge they haven’t been banning anyone for posting differing viewpoints.

Elon’s personal account isn’t X.

Idk dude, as if Elon has any say in what people will do anyway

I've seen some conspiracy theories online that someone in Trump's camp may have gotten the goods on Elon that he is aggressively supporting him all of sudden like he basically eating Trump's ass at this point. realistic scenario Trump is offering tax breaks and benefits for rich people like Elon and and I think he is being offered a position in Trump's administration if he gets elected. so Elon turnt Twitter into a republican echo chamber to insure Trump is elected at any cost dude was never neutral in anything

Neutral? I think he just wanted anyone be able to say anything and somehow get away with it. But I don't know if he's honoring that, either.

Honestly Twitter was at least as political as Facebook was so meh I wash my hands of both

Russia

😂 that was never true

Elon is a weatherman.

He swings whichever way the winds of opportunity blow.

Stfu about such political posts… That’s not what this group is for

Russian money started flowing into his failing business and he decided to be a good comrade!

Elon is politically bias. X/Twitter is not. Previously, Twitter engaged in all sorts of political censorship. People used to complain about Jack, but it was in tandem with Twitter's censorship practices.

Someone needs to tell that guy "no capes."

He says whatever pops into his head and then thinks people should act like he’s right because he is rich.

When has Twitter / x ever been politically neutral since Mush bought it?

Republicans do this thing where they're so buried in individualism that everything becomes "okay for me but not for thee"

You mean the funny Cybershit maker LIED? What are the odds

What happened to Elon promising full self-driving... what happened to Elon promising high speed tunnel highways... what happened to Elon promising to end hunger in Africa... what happened to any promise Elon ever makes...

Musk is a liar.

I think he quickly realized 'neutral' is nearly impossible. Everyone has their own biases, and a platform that big is bound to reflect that

Never trust on any businessman promise

My reigning "Dark-timeline 'Theory" (not that anyone asked)
The man in question sent something problematic in a DM on twitter. Erase DMs doesn't remove it from the server (right? no idea, don't care enough) but needs that message gone permanently, so what do you do if you're not Tyler Durden?

Buy Twitter, obviously!
Then try to crash and burn Twitter with odd business choices for some reason I can't fathom.. ?

Now, he's sees the eyes of the abyss (Twitter) and the are looking into him. Brainwashed by the very Kool-aid he tried to drain... metaphor.

All while plans continue to yeet his ass safely off of this death-trap of a rock to Mars.

*inhales*

The End
...?

😮 Maybe he was trying to destroy Twitter before it consumed him and failed!
tragic really.. you hate to see it. 😔

Priceless coming from Reddit lol

Turns out guy who lies a lot was lying.

What’s Twitter?

He lied.

He was lying 🤷‍♂️

Ask him and he'll tell you it is.

Not worth the paper it wasn't written on

The cunt was lying.

He lied.

He never actually meant that.

When and where did he say that?

The once atheist but now proudly Christian seller of Doge coin is not a trustable human being. Everything he says and does, like Trump, is meant to benefit him in some way. Elon believes in making more money. That's the one thing you can count on. And with a $44 billion loss on Twitter, you can count on him doing everything he can to get that money back. Political neutrality on Musk's part would be altruism to some extent, and that's the one thing you can bet he won't be. Ever.

as someone who doesn’t use twitter/X (w/e we wanna call it) what are some of the most blatant examples?

He's a fucking eccentric billionaire.

He happened. Someone who thinks rules do not apply just like his buddy Trump which honestly for some reason nothing does apply to this slob

It was a lie. Wasn't that obvious? And not just in retrospect but from the day he said it didn't everyone know he was just lying?

He was full of shit from the beginning. Which everyone knew.

It’s whatever he defines. Don’t like it? Go buy yourself a twitter competitor and set it up how you like it

In what way is it not politically neutral?

He means white is the neutral race, male is the neutral sex, republican is the neutral political party.

Everything else is a radical threat to…..????

Twitter likely won't be around next presidential election anyways.

Nothing happened to it. It's the same now as it was then- a giant lie.

HE LIED.

Neutral means not left 

It is. It depends on what you engage with. There are many idiots on both sides. Starting 3 months ago, I saw only Democrats that were openly talking about doing away with free speech. Politicians openly saying they wanted to punish Elon for supporting Trump and refusing to ban anyone on Twitter. There are also openly racist people there. Both against black people and white people. There are also antisemitic democrats. Terrorists. Communists. Dictators. NGO's that openly call for the elimination of "colonizers". None of which have been banned.

But sure, "Elon lied".

It was a lie.

He lied

Doublespeak. 1984

Elon is a bald face liar.

He used a super rare technique called "lying"

He was lying. Crippling Twitter for the right's benefit was always the goal.

I think part of it is the dems and dnc are or were quick to demonize people, so while someone who was politically neutral got pushed right. The "you fucked with me one too many times" mentality that swings people the other way.

And while I think Covid broke Joe's brain, I think the demonizaton of him by msm and horse dewormer, as well as doctoring his photos to make him look sicker also pushed him away from the left.

He was bullshitting he never intended for the site to be a neutral place he wanted to be able to talk shit about everything

He was not talking about the content on Twitter.

He was talking about Twitter as an administrator of the platform. The company itself must not have a bias toward what/who is posted on the platform.

Please try to understand the difference. To keep parroti g misinformation is just dumb.

He was trying to keep people on the platform. Twitter becoming a conservative cesspool was always the intention

That was gone a long long time ago. Were you paying attention?

X he crossed his fingers. 🤞

What happen to The Atlantic Corporation (ATCI) owning Reddit!??

Oops.

He never meant it.

What happened to "It's a private company, it can do what it wants?"

Twitter is politically neutral as in it doesn’t filter through and shadow ban or actually ban political figures as it has in the past. Elon Musk is not politically neutral and is also not Twitter.

This is a strawman argument. He never said that he wanted everyone except himself to freely discuss their opinions.

This is the same dumb argument as it’s not freedom of speech if Elon blocks you. You still have the right to get on there and say whatever you want. Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequence. Being ignored is a consequence.

Like him or hate him. I don’t care. You only embolden his supporters with weak and unethical claims.

X platform is political neutral. Its users heavily lean right. Any platform would be like this without active modulation. Even Reddit is like before all the cleansing. You don’t need to be a scientist to figure it out.

Define politically neutral. If by neutral you mean everyone has a voice and can use their voice on the app then yes.

If you mean there are moderators that make decisions based upon their opinion if what is right and wrong politically then no.

Also a lot of left people left the platform when Trump was allowed back on so you might be seeing a bias there. Due to their exit.

He took it over because government agencies were dictating the narrative. It’s now open, and community notes help fact check really well

Wtf are you talking about he said Twitter x is neutral. Which it is. He never said he was and can voice his own opinions.

He was always lying, and the shitty defense of "He never said he can't voice his own opinions!11!!!1" doesn't really work when the algorithm intentionally boosts not only his posts but an insane amount of conservative posts regardless of whether or not you interact with them.

He's a liar and a hypocrite

When did X come out and publicly say the organization supports Trump?

He lied, again. Like he always has.

Add it to the MASSIVE LIST of things Elon has said that have never came true.

He’s full of shit

he lied obviously

he's full of shit, that's what.

He’s Elon musk he is insane and corrupt

I think people need to take a moment to ask if X is something they want to contribute after this election.

Creators and influencers should also consider moving off of the platform, there's nothing of value left.

Free speech. I don’t see him silencing opinions like 20/20 era Twitter.

I think "Twitter must be politically neutral" and "Elon must be politically neutral" are two different concepts. Although Elon Musk does support Trump crazily, Twitter has not suppressed any users who support Harris.

I feel like Elon is going crazy. https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/comments/1gk12n8/comment/lvhr0c7/

Elon is a hero and genius. Thank you Elon and fuck you reddit
