Facebook has always been awful, so this is no surprise. The point many of us are trying to make here is that Twitter used to be OK (far from perfect but you could get what you needed out of it) - but the new owner has de facto ruined it for everyone except for the bigots, trolls and spambots.
I've already said that Community Notes is a good idea, and seems to work OK, but I'm fairly sure people will just give up eventually as your p155ing into the wind. I also see that even Space Karen has started arguing with people noting him 😂 https://mashable.com/article/elon-musk-arguing-community-notes
Musk has not ruined it for everyone just people that don’t want to hear other people’s opinions.

For better or worse X is attempting to allow community moderation. The alternative is Govt control and whilst you might like the Govt in power atm (I'm talking in the US that have the real power to control Google, X, Meta etc) Govts come and go. Maybe you won't like the next lot in charge and what they deem acceptable speech.
Alternatively we could let the mega corps such as Alphabet (Gemini AI haha) or Microsoft/Amazon etc dictate what we're allowed to see and say? In a world a bad solutions, X is currently the best we've got (and for clarity I'm not saying its perfect, far from it). If you really don't think it is, name one thats better. If you can't maybe the continuing obsession with just Musk is a marker that you've been swayed by your political leanings rather than the current state of X.
On a related note, did you see the kicking Zuckerberg and Facebook got in the recent US hearings? Probably not because unlike Musk he's not in political opposition to the establishment. In short, basically Meta's own studies show that they are having a detrimental effect on kids mental health and are pushing paedophilic content to those that search for it but are doing nothing about it. But Musk bad man *shakes fist*
The Gemini AI fiasco resulted in a 90 Billion dollar share price sell off.
People complain Musk paid 55 Billion dollars for Twitter/X.Good to see Musk followers can see the funny side against a serious issue of Gemini AI misleading the public.

Hoping for a better performance.

Think you should able to put KR1 into a SIPP so you get tax reduction.
That’s my next task actually so I better dab in before end of the tax year.

Had a bad feeling about last night game predicted a defeat so result wise not a surprise.
But the clueless turgid football was far worse than I predicted.
Oh well Port Vale Saturday let’s hope for better.

Spot on from Aluko here. Horrific for people to have to deal with this sort of abuse
We're at the point now that if people continue to defend new Twitter as "better", because "something something free speech", then they might as well just admit that they simply like the fact that people can be abused so openly in public
Everyone should be scared of people who want to curtail free speech.
They want controlled speech that suits their own ideology which is based upon fear mongering with no right to reply.
Free speech is a basic human right that should be never taken away from any society.

Same as your post about KR1 in the crypto thread no meaningful research whatsoever.

Don't blame you. Sounds like a total pyramid scam like all the stuff around shitcoins
Hands up who'd be surprised if they weren't reading a news story in 12 months about how it's gone bust and the owners are facing jail time? Meanwhile a load of boomers cry into their m&s meal deals
What a ridiculous post based on wild assumptions and no research whatsoever.
If you had bothered to do any research on KR1 owners you would have discovered they are founders in the crypto space.
They will know more about crypto than Pomp, Mad Max Keiser and Michael Saylor put together.They have no debt, no borrowings and a fantastic track record over the last 7 years.
Unlike Bitcoin they earn income from their investments every single year.
All wrapped up in an ISA no capital gains on profits.
As of today 28/02/24
NAV 137
Share price 111 +6.5%
Income revenue per year 25 million
Fund performance since launch + 20,346%

What is this KR1 ?
seen its an investment company .. is that right?
Yes it’s an investment company that invests in early stage crypto projects that deliver monthly income from the proof of stake awards.
The income generated is then reinvested in other early stage crypto projects.
They no longer hold any Bitcoin.
The main downside is it’s small market cap and large spread to buy and sell and it’s on the Aquis Exchange so low volume.

KR1 share price increase compared to BTC from both their recent lows, KR1 is about 5% behind, when ETFs can start buying KR1 should be interesting.
All in an ISA so no capital gains tax to worry about.Posted too soon, up another 5% in last 4 hrs so performance same as BTC.
Don’t forget it trades at a discount of approximately 20% of its NAV.
Only downside is if BTC drops significantly it will be difficult to sell KR1.Up 17% today, as posted previously it’s always late rising compared to BTC.

BYD cars
Fires, back axle falling off, doors falling off, air bags not going off.

Sorry I haven't been following the topic that closely, which is why I was interested in the context.
The context is needed as I could easily throw out there the interview with the WSJ 12 years ago which claimed in 10 years he would put a man on Mars, I'm sure some doubted him on that at the time which they were proven correct.
You will probably call that pettiness, yet I'll be honest, prior to his Twitter takeover I knew very little about the bloke, it's only since the Twitter takeover and the awful awful rebrand to X, ruined the verification system even more, messed up the algorithm to push his own views and businesses have I been paying attention. The more I see, the more of an oddball he becomes.
You obviously wouldn't agree, respect your opinion, I just wish he would sell up and bugger off back to his cars and rockets and X was reverted back to it's former glory as I'm social media homeless now and it's super frustrating.
TBH I never liked Twitter before Musk took it over and still don’t like it as a social media platform.
The only difference is now it’s a level playing field for everyone, which it should have been in the first place.I never knew much about Musk until he took over Twitter perhaps that why he took it over.
Agreed Musk is definitely an odd ball and comes out with ridiculous comments.Anyway that’s me done for a while on this subject you will glad to know. 😀

Just out of interest, proved everyone wrong in what way exactly?
It’s well known in the US which I have posted previously that hedge funds have lost millions betting against Musk failing with Tesla.
One hedge fund has even shut down due to losses betting against Musk. -

There is a bottom line that the nature of social media is triggering, polarizing and manipulative. Because of the vast amounts of data it collects and the lightning fast way algorithms work, and the fact we have not had millions of years to evolve alongside such machine intelligences, we have few defences against them. Meaning we all do stupid things on social media from time to time, that we probably regret. And I don't think too much store should be set by that. It should be yesterday's fish and chip paper, and move on. Rather than the "offence archaeology" we often say nowadays. So largely, so what if Musk said a stupid thing on Twitter.
But that said, I'll do my best to give what I think is likely the gist of Musk's thinking, hoping it's not straying too much into politics (but you did ask). As I alluded to in the above post, I feel Musk equates the deep state with what I would think of as the establishment, and one way of looking at that is "the left-leaning liberal media establishment" - which has done a remarkable job of taking over the entirety of the education system. It's a stroke of genius how ideas seen as extreme and laughable in the 1990s, such as critical race theory or trans extremism, are nowadays considered mainstream by this establishment (even if ordinary, decent people have hardly shifted in their views at all and don't believe everything should be viewed through a lens of colour, with white people always oppressors and black people always victims - or that it's fine for biological men to compete in women's sports or parade naked in girls' changing rooms, and so on).
We have a massive crisis in the mental health of children, which I think is due to a perfect storm of several factors. One is the rise of social media, and many issues (especially in young girls) can be traced directly to the beginning of Instagram. Then came the pandemic and the disastrous decisions to shut down schools and isolate and not even educate children. But, in the background is the wickedness of people encouraging children to believe they were somehow born into the wrong body, and the misery they feel isn't to do with the completely normal hormone explosions of growing up and puberty which we all go through and come out the other side, but is going to be a lifelong issue. But one these people claim can be solved by mutilation, a lifelong dependence on drugs, and the necessary sterilization that comes with it. So thousands of American children undergo these procedures a year. The day will come when it will be seen as the biggest scandal that happened to children, and I hope the people responsible will pay a price for what they've done.
Musk calls this the actions of the deep state, and you can see why because these crazed ideas have become embedded within the institutions of the state, making them very hard to shift. I would say it's because of the capture of the establishment by radical extremist and damaging ideologies. Just as our own Tavistock Enquiry showed.
A problem in politics and two-party states is that the activists in those parties are massively extreme compared with the voters for those parties. In America, to win the nominations, you have to appeal to the activists and then it's hard to rein back and take a more sensible approach. Presidential votes are in play because this has become politicized with the Democrat activists fully embracing an extremist trans agenda. And if you are someone who has succumbed to the pressure, and taken these life-changing decisions, you are going to want to believe you did the right thing and weren't taken advantage of and lied to, so you are going to vote for the party that is shouting this from the rooftops.
But, like I said, I think it's more a throwaway remark, in frustration, at the madness and denial of basic biology. Which in Musk's case as a committed futurist, is really important because it points to the end of a science-based society, which in turn points to the end of human progress.
Carl you are too good for this forum.
Petty minded people have been complaining about Musk for years even before he took over Twitter and he has proved everyone wrong.
5000 Starlink satellites in orbit now spreading free speech across the world through X.
Sondrel up 100% on stock market today everyone knows Musk is a winner.
