Elon is responding to that shit I wrote yesterday about how he’s pushing “free speech” in Brazil so the US war complex he works for can spread revolutionary propaganda.

He’s admitting that there is a bunch of US disinformation on his platform.
Of course, there is nothing to do about it. There is actually something to do about it: you allow free speech, which allows people to respond to the propaganda.
But Elon is very opposed to freedom. He will ban you for anything. Especially, you will get banned for talking about Jews and women, but you will also get banned just for opposing the Ukraine war.
RT:
The owner of X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk, has rejected accusations that Russian misinformation was widespread on his platform.
The entrepreneur, who describes himself as a champion of free speech, has been accused of making the social network vulnerable to Russian activities by changing its content moderation protocols after purchasing Twitter in 2022.
How is he still describing himself as “a champion of free speech”?
Does he just think people don’t know how many people he’s banned?
Everyone knows, Elon. Everyone knows you are the Lord of Censorship. They know you’re fat and stupid, Elon. Everyone knows.
His latest denial came on Tuesday, while he was discussing X on ‘In Good Company’, a podcast. Host Nicolai Tangen suggested that Russian activity via fake accounts was “huge” in Germany.
“We don’t see a lot of Russian activity, to be frank, on the system. We see very little,” Musk responded. “We do see a lot of attempts to influence things, but they seem to be coming from the West, not from Russia.”

Tangen’s remark apparently referred to claims made by Berlin in January. The German government said that the use of specialized monitoring software had allowed it to identify an estimated 50,000 fake accounts engaged in a pro-Russian misinformation campaign on X. Local press claimed that the messaging was strikingly similar to that of the right-wing opposition party AfD.
Germany is not alone in its wariness regarding Moscow’s influence; this week US Congressman Mike Turner, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee, accused some fellow Republicans of repeating ‘Russian propaganda’ in the chamber.
.@RepMikeTurner tells me it’s “absolutely true” that Russian propaganda has “infected” a portion of the GOP base, calling out “anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor.” pic.twitter.com/CXhHhpUHmR

“It is absolutely true we see, directly coming from Russia, attempts to mask communications that are anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia messages, some of which we even hear being uttered on the House floor,” the Ohio congressman told CNN’s Jake Tapper. Similar remarks came last week from House Foreign Affairs chair Michael McCaul, another Republican lawmaker.
I of course support Elon defending Russia.
I’m not really sure why he does that, because he literally works for the US war machine. He is developing spy satellites and brain implants for the US war machine. His rockets are also obviously designed for military application.
Maybe he is just hedging his bets in case the Russians and Chinese win the global war, in which case he will ingrain himself with them?
Or maybe he is just promoting himself as a right-wing figure so people don’t pay attention to the fact he is censoring everyone?
Maybe he is just retarded?
