  3. Go to BlueSky and follow the terms of use and you will no longer be a cuck on the teet of an illegal immigrant.

  5. Man, popcorn season started earlier than expected 

  6. Guys, I’m starting to think billionaires only care about what’s good for their bottom line at the expense of our quality of life. But i kinda do like that he keeps retweeting and quoting my favorite nazi and white christian supremacists, so i may be overthinking it.

  7. At this point, X is feeling more like a private blog than a public platform.

  8. Musk is pushing an increase in H-1B visas, which Trump specifically campaigned against. Tech plutocrats Ramaswamy and Musk want cheap labor they can exploit. 

    The H-1B visa gives an employer complete control over the employee. If the employee loses the job, they lose their visa and are sent back to their home country. This is why the plutocrats want the H-1B visas. In the program employees can be coerced into working 100-hour weeks for below average pay.

    Tellingly, Elon Musk runs Tesla as a nonunion shop in the United States. Musk also has ongoing well-publicized disputes with the unions in Germany and Sweden. Musk’s just a less interesting and less talented version of the 19th century robber barons who hired Pinkertons to fire upon the rank-and-file.

  9. I could have sworn Musk bought the company to promote free speech. Was it just to promote his speech? Eww.

  10. Oh geez, who could have possibly seen something like this coming?

  14. Who could have possibly seen this coming. Woe is me. What a shock. Stunned. I am so stunned, I can hardly believe it. Wow. What an unexpected turn of events.

    Seriously, no one should be surprised.

  17. Not really an accusation given the people he has censored are the ones who don’t agree with him and debate him i mean there’s a video of him in a twitter podcast or whatever stupid shit it’s called going in using a shitty voice changer to debate the man’s ego is smaller than a micropenis and he is a bigot who think’s only of himself i find it honestly hilarious how he called americans idiots yet elon has only ever bought companies and takes credit for their past work case in point is tesla

  19. These dipshits aren’t even going to make it to January 20th together

  20. I’m not sure why America is allowing an illegal immigrant to push it around.

    The maga party LITERALLY called themselves TERRORISTS.

    If America’s military doesn’t uphold the constitution, then the entire world is doomed.

  21. He’s doing this. I’ve been a victim of it! Be mad, fellow MAGA!

  22. He censors anything and anyone who disagrees with him while loudly proclaiming his “ public forum “ beliefs which of course is just another lie to add to his CV.

  23. Two things that have ironically brought the country together:

    A health insurance CEO getting killed

    Elon Musk being a little bitch

  24. Welcome to free speech absolutism, conservatives. First time?

  25. Not *my* Elon. Never. He’s an Absolute Free Speechist. Or a Nominally Charged Speech, Absolutely. Or some shit.

  26. Wow!!! I thought he was so against censorship? OMG! Please say it’s not true?

  27. Remove the word “accused” and it’d be much more accurate.

  28. Now “obviously and blatantly did a thing that’s clearly visible” apparently equals “accused”.

  29. Can we just start saying what actually happened? No he wasn’t “accused”. He straight up did it. Multiple accounts lost their check marks and got review notices after criticizing Musk. But the press is out here softening the message like they did with Trump.

  30. Good. Now they get a *real* taste of what they falsely accused the previous owners of the platform of doing to them.

  32. Its so nice to see MAGA getting the taste of their own medicine!!!

  34. I’ve said it since he bought twitter; I pity people who believe this man has ever been an advocate of free speech. He’s steadily increasing his censoring. I can’t help but feel a tiny bit smug that conservatives finally get to taste how the majority of users have it.

  35. MAGA didn’t even last until inauguration before imploding. Hilarious.

  39. I guess it’s only news worthy when he censors conservatives.

  41. Really pathetic considering these are his and trumps people. 

  42. “Accused” — as if we can’t see it in real time with messages that indicate they paid for the blue checkmark but all of a sudden it’s missing and “they’re being verified” messages are there for people who were already verified.

    Let them fight, but this half assed sane-washing bullshit is part of why we have Trump right now.

  43. I keep seeing posts from people absolutely gobsmacked by this happening as if Elon was some champion of free speech, and I keep asking… “are you surprised?”

    That idiot has banned, blocked, or censored anyone who ever argues with or says anything negative about him since before he even bought Twitter.

  44. If you’re a magat considering going to Bluesky, just don’t. You’re not welcome and are usually immediately blocked. It’s so clean and peaceful there. Stay away.

  46. The practice of hiring H-1B visa workers in the middle of mass tech layoffs in the U.S. raises serious questions about corporate responsibility, labor fairness, and the priorities of tech giants.

    I have personally seen many of my skilled friends impacted by layoffs, while their companies make record profits and hire cheaper labor.

    Here’s a brutally honest critique:

    1. A Smokescreen for Cheap Labor

    Companies often argue that H-1B workers fill “specialized roles,” but let’s be real: it’s often about cost savings, not skills shortages. H-1B workers are subject to wage standards that may be lower than what companies would have to pay domestic workers in the same roles. This practice isn’t about solving a labor shortage—it’s about maximizing profits at the expense of both American and immigrant workers.

    2. Disregard for American Workers

    The idea that there aren’t enough skilled Americans is a cop-out. Thousands of qualified tech workers are being LAID OFF, many with advanced degrees and years of experience. If companies were serious about workforce sustainability, they’d invest in reskilling and upskilling laid-off workers rather than taking the easy (cheap) route of importing talent. The reality is that companies don’t want to invest in people—they want CHEAP ready-made solutions.

    3. Undermining the American Dream

    H-1B workers come here believing in the promise of opportunity but often find themselves trapped in exploitative conditions. They are tied to their sponsoring employer, limiting their ability to advocate for better pay or workplace rights. Meanwhile, American workers are sidelined, creating resentment and fueling toxic narratives about immigration.

    4. Corporate Hypocrisy

    These same companies crying about “labor shortages” are the ones laying off tens of thousands of employees. They’re telling the world they need foreign workers because Americans don’t have the skills, while simultaneously gutting their workforce and leaving skilled professionals scrambling for jobs. The inconsistency reeks of corporate greed and poor planning.

    5. Weaponizing Immigration

    The H-1B visa system is being used as a tool to drive down wages and worker power. By keeping a pipeline of vulnerable, dependent workers, companies ensure they maintain leverage over their workforce. It’s not about innovation; it’s about creating a compliant, inexpensive labor pool.

    6. Destroying Trust in Tech

    These practices erode trust in the tech industry. American workers feel betrayed, H-1B workers feel exploited, and the public grows increasingly skeptical of an industry that claims to drive progress while hollowing out jobs and livelihoods.

    Bottom Line

    This isn’t a labor shortage—it’s a moral shortage. It’s time to call out the profit-over-people mindset and demand better.

    This post also doesn’t even cover the jobs we’ve sent offshore. That’s a whole other post for another day. We’re destroying/eliminating good jobs in this country.

  47. If you are still clicking on twitter/x links or maybe even still posting on that site you are part of the problem.

  48. They were fine when he was only censoring liberals. Reap what you sow, jackasses.

  49. Elon claims he’s a free speech guy for sure, yet if you disagree with him you might face some issues on his silly little social media platform.

    Seriously people get the fuck off Twitter let’s watch Elon’s platform burn to the ground. Twitter is about 2-3 times worse than it was before Elon bought the damn thing.
