Elon Musk: I, for one, welcome our new pasty overlord

makes it much more “scrollable” according to elon…

what he actually wants is to see if he can grift the news sites into just copy pasting their articles into long form tweets.

Elon: Rack up views, you say?

ponied, but yeah.

Hahaha isn’t this sentdefender regularly posted by people in this forum in the Ukraine thread??

Yes. He’s actually a conservative American, but his stuff is good.

The gotcha from binder is pretty mild here - the fake image of the Pentagon was shared by some fairly reputable new places and the sentdefender tweet it just says “initial reports.” Once it was shown that the image was fake, he quickly took it down and retracted. Binder is right that he just collects stuff from other places and shares it (he doesn’t try to hide this), but in general he does a fairly good job of vetting his stuff (or at least I haven’t seen lots of stuff where commenters point out he’s wrong).

I don’t know about that sentdefender guy posting debunked stuff, but it seems like he might be a fascist tho.

I briefly included him in a twitter list to follow the war in Ukraine, but then he made some posts celebrating the massacre of left wing Peruvian protestors by Peruvian police.

Maybe he should have done some research first before recommending War Monitor.

No clue if they EU will actually do anything, but I’m guessing they don’t fuck around as much as the US.

Just want to state for the record that changing Twitter’s name to X is not in the range of a normal business decision. It’s insane. Someone who decides to do that is literally not same.
