It’s Elijah Schafer, an idiot who other idiots believe is a real journalist.

Plus as someone else in the thread also pointed out this is Grok which as AI is the equivalent of “garbage in, garbage out”

Me: “X is a real cesspool of trolls and extremism.”

Elon: “You’re right. You shouldn’t be able to criticize me or President Trump.”

To be fair, this is Grok’s interpretation of X’s new rules. The algorithm’s take on its own algorithm.

Why is anyone still on Musk’s playground?

I doubt that Grok is related to the X feed algorithm, for what it’s worth. Good to remember that LLMs like Grok are a fancy autocomplete, responding with what its training indicates are the most likely next words in sequence, and the semantics may or may not reflect reality.

X has been a shithole since its inception. Digital Haiti.

If he goes through with this it's at least 10x worse than anything else he's done with the platform. I'm still on X, figuring my account is so minor it's not propping up the platform, but if this happens I'm out & would encourage a total boycott by people who value the marketplace of ideas.

And this is the illegal immigrant who presumes to tell Americans what the First Amendment means.

It was always obvious imo that the end goal of X was US sina weibo

I wonder if “strategic work partnerships” covers use of H-1B visas.

But could I still get away with calling US Rep (🤢) Tim Moore (NC) Mr. Biscuitville on X? IYKYK.

“Free speech”
I assume given what Musk been saying about the UK government his account is also flagged?

Ridiculing Adrian Dittman is the new hooliganism.

Won't somebody think of the Public Figures??

Considering he appealed to them to censor critics there on safety issues/recalls on Tesla's deathtraps it should come as no surprise. Just a continuation of his ketamine little tin god delusions.

Original source was Bloomberg, here is write up w/o paywall.
