    Oh, you mean like the people you fired the week you took over, Musk? Those people? Man fucked around and found out and is using the lesson learned.

    An intelligent person wouldn’t have needed the lesson, though.

      It’s not a lesson learned. X will be legally liable for damages. They are setting up a team of moderators to mitigate that liability and show lawmakers they can regulate themselves so they can head off potential regulations.

      Much like his PR visit to Concentration camps Musk is doing it to escape consequences.

          Trust and Safety was a key reason major brands were comfortable advertising on Twitter.

          The financial consequences weren’t from getting sued, but Pfizer won’t run ads after they let “Pfizer” go viral for saying insulin is free and started placing their ads alongside Nazi content.

          I do not think that Twitter/X under Musk has them because he laid them off when he first took control of the company.
