X Posters Rage About Something Elon Musk Didn’t Do

5

There is a lot of conjecture on X about a change in the algorithm that will put negative comments and their posters in some kind of purgatory. However, Elon Musk has been transparent, so we can expect him to be transparent about this. He said he hasn’t made any changes and will let us know if he does.

Musk is fighting censorship and won’t become the censor. He did ask people to be more positive.

The conjecture and satire about people being rated with a social credit system is based on nothing.

Musk is fighting censorship at great personal risk.  Maybe we should trust him for now to stick with free speech. We need him.

My understanding is that there is not outright “censorship” but there is reduced visibility that can constrict or enlarge the visibility of site content and restricts or enlarges the influence of the users depending on those users written speech.

I am (was) a big Musk fan…I have screen shots of him in my photos. I don’t agree with his H1B position, but I can understand it. But his threat to those who oppose it…that “F U in the face” post, throwing a 3rd grader fit and warning revenge? NOPE. Musk went from hero to zero to me. He owes America an apology.

Ummm … nope. The censorship is real. Try saying something outrageous and see how your account is suspended. TwiX is no better than Twitter.

Yes, Musk is taking some heat for allowing people to express their opinions, and for others to shed light on some inconvenient facts and truth.

I’m not allowed to express mine. Thrown off X and the “challenge” option is a dead letter office. No idea what I did wrong. Gave up…no longer care.
