Musk is behaving corruptly. @nytimes.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Elon Musk needs to be taken down about 10 notches.

meriweather.bsky.social•225 days ago

He may be richer in $$; however this little drug riddled snake is a vile specimen of a human

Wow I just can't believe it who would have thought. No one saw this coming

khwalz.bsky.social•224 days ago

I swear, my response was the same!

acmazzaro.bsky.social•225 days ago

Just once I want one of these posts that starts with “Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X” to end with “has died” 🙏🏻

drotrebor.bsky.social•225 days ago

Musk Melon has pulp for brains.

elis1.bsky.social•225 days ago

Because Elon wants to be Trump's advisor. Kamala Harris is an ideal presidential candidate for the USA.

marinaco.bsky.social•225 days ago

No surprise: it's Felon Musk!

kruisebruise.bsky.social•225 days ago

Let's Give MUSK <-- The BIRD (Finger Gesture) ... 🖕🤪

miamichefpapi.bsky.social•224 days ago

He’s a stunted adolescent craving affirmation from anyone.

srshaman.bsky.social•225 days ago

Elon apesta cada día más, nada de lo que hace sorprende.
Me encanta el NY Times, presumen de progresistas sin serlo y critican a los que manipulan, pese a que también lo hacen.
¿"El País" español no será una franquicia suya?

andyger.bsky.social•225 days ago

Let's talk about shutting down X once and for all!

And when you're at it: #telegram wants to be shutdown, too!

Hey, NYT: “Seemed?” You know what the policy is; you know that it was a deceptive deepfake. So, why the weasel-worded lede? Do you report sports scores by stating “The Yankees seemed to outscore the Blue Jays 7-4”? “The Chiefs appear to have won the Super Bowl”?

Were the words what she said? Or were they not? Is that a violation of the terms of use or are they not? How does the paper of record fail a 10th grade english class?

lupusblackfur.bsky.social•225 days ago

Elonivsky Muskovite violates his own terms of service...

I'm shocked, I tell you!

🫏🤡🫏🤡

carnivorusplant.bsky.social•225 days ago

Seems to me that the whole ordeal with buying Twitter was to bring Trump back to power. Musk seems to want to destroy the whole fabric of society because of the feud with his trans daughter.

kristiwinters.bsky.social•225 days ago

Yes, the white supremacist has a fascist agenda. 🙄

We ALL knew this, or at least people who don't make excuses for rich white men knew this SINCE HE BOUGHT IT.

femkederoos.bsky.social•225 days ago

Hoe is dit toch mogelijk. Wat een gevaarlijk gek. Stop toch allemaal met het kopen van tesla en ga van twitter X af. Nu meteen

khwalz.bsky.social•224 days ago

Musk, pulling a stunt like that--oh, no, whoever woulda thunkit! Genius boy isn't such a wunderkind when it comes to acting like a responsible adult. He never has acted accordingly, and this idiotic worship of entitled frat boys has got to stop.

frickin-dude.bsky.social•225 days ago

The Times must be upset since posting crap about Democrats is their job.

digitalgypsie.bsky.social•225 days ago

#GOP populated by Weird folks

majeff.bsky.social•225 days ago

"seems to violate"

How often are you going to suck this guy's dick, Times?

xtan.bsky.social•225 days ago

Shut it down

mp2bill.bsky.social•225 days ago

“Seemed.” 🙄

dantevortex.bsky.social•225 days ago

It's a bit weird, but he owns the company. He doesn't need to follow the rules he laid out for everyone else.

I'm pretty sure he did it just to stir up shit with the lesser creatures of the internet. And as you can see, that worked perfectly.

dedrownz.bsky.social•224 days ago

he most prbably has to to not be in violation of some rules

This post is too tame to describe a misinformation and hate-speech far right overlord.

rderevan.bsky.social•224 days ago

Policies are for little people.

mfsteve.bsky.social•224 days ago

Oh "it seemed to?"

Nice backbome you have there, NYT.

terryparrish.bsky.social•224 days ago

That won't get him anywhere.

alchimist144.bsky.social•225 days ago

The best time to leave X. Musk killed it, now it´s a collection of Nazis, Bots and Haters...
Too much money spoils the character...Musk is the best example! He lost his mind. #leaveXnow

І що тут дивного правила то для інших а своїм і собі все

drgeophysics.bsky.social•224 days ago

Scamalot Muskistan is just another vacuous Republicon minion, we all know that eh? BTW: Republicans lie about everything, to everyone, all of the time.

jimmerz50.bsky.social•225 days ago

I left X for blue-sky.. It's time to #boycottX

cateatdog.bsky.social•225 days ago

You can get rid of "seemed to"

rabid-child.bsky.social•225 days ago

“Seemed,” huh? Did it or didn’t it?

Have you considered investigative journalism for a change? It might be just the thing for you.

tmnc.bsky.social•224 days ago

Ooh. A change of career, even!

nnedi.bsky.social•225 days ago

THIS.

prsturgeon.bsky.social•225 days ago

Many journalists are middle managers for oligarchs, relaying the news unquestioningly

unicornsrockuk.bsky.social•225 days ago

Bought and paid for I think.

klowy.bsky.social•225 days ago

Those policies don’t apply to him. None of twitters policies apply to him apparently.

grmammatam55.bsky.social•225 days ago

The segregationist is clearly using his social media platform to interfere in the 2024 election, just as he did with the Turkey elections, since X is a U.S. Company why isn't the DOJ, SEC and or congress investigating?
