Return of the Pronoun Police: Elon Musk’s X/Twitter Reinstates Rules Against Misgendering, ‘Deadnaming’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk’s platform X/Twitter has reinstated woke rules against “misgendering” and “deadnaming” transgender people after dropping the rules to great fanfare last year.

Ars Technica reports that X/Twitter recently updated its abuse and harassment policy page to include a new section explaining its rules against intentionally using the wrong pronouns for a person or referring to them by a name they no longer use — called “deadnaming” by woke LGBT radicals. The new “Use of Prior Names and Pronouns” section states that X/Twitter will “reduce the visibility of posts” that incorrectly gender a person or use their old name rather than their new one adopted during transition.

This move comes after X/Twitter dropped its longstanding prohibition on deadnaming and misgendering of transgender users back in April 2023. At the time, GLAAD CEO Sarah Kate Ellis criticized the change as “the latest example of just how unsafe the company is for users and advertisers alike” under the ownership of Elon Musk, who has a history of liking and sharing anti-trans content.

Under the updated policy, X/Twitter will take action when it hears directly from the target of the misgendering or deadnaming, “given the complexity of determining whether such a violation has occurred.” GLAAD senior director Jenni Olson told Ars this unfairly places the burden on targets to report their own abuse. However, she acknowledged that explicit policies against deadnaming and misgendering are preferable to vague ones that leave violators unsure if they’re breaking rules.

Elon Musk Responds to Leftists Calling for Tucker Carlson’s Arrest Over Putin Interview (VIDEO)

/12 Comments/in , , /by

Tucker Carlson, the host of Tucker Carlson Tonight, faced severe backlash and calls for sanctions and even arrest after interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin. As various officials hinted at travel bans and sanctions against Carlson, Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX and Tesla, had a response that shed light on the growing suppression of conservative journalistic freedom, especially in the United States.

Musk took to his social media platform and declared, “Arrest those calling for his arrest!” This comes in response to the outrage and threats directed at Carlson, including suggestions of sanctions from officials within the European Union.

Guy Verhofstadt, a former Belgian government official, raised the possibility of sanctions against Carlson, accusing him of assisting Putin, who is deemed a war criminal by the West, could warrant scrutiny from the European Union’s External Action Service.

Former Estonian foreign minister Urmas Paet accused Carlson of promoting propaganda for a “criminal regime” and suggested that such actions could lead to being placed on a sanctions list.

In response to these allegations, Carlson clarified that his intention was not to endorse Putin but to shed light on aspects of the war that he believed were overlooked and censored by Western media. He criticized the Western narrative for presenting a biased view of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s calls for increased U.S. involvement in the conflict while ignoring mounting corruption in the European country.

Elon Musk Accuses Biden of Plotting One-Party State

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Elon Musk took to his platform X to voice strong allegations against President Joe Biden, accusing him of pursuing a strategy to transform the United States into a one-party state through the legalization of a significant influx of illegal aliens.

In a tweet, Musk outlined what he characterized as Biden’s straightforward plan: “1. Get as many illegals in the country as possible. 2. Legalize them to create a permanent majority – a one-party state. That is why they are encouraging so much illegal immigration. Simple, yet effective.”

Musk further elaborated on his concerns in another post, criticizing the low number of deportations and asserting that each deportation represents a lost vote. He contended that the Biden administration’s approach to immigration, coupled with minimal deportations, aligns with a broader strategy to establish a permanent political majority.

“This explains why there are so few deportations, as every deportation is a lost vote. As happened this week, you can literally assault police officers in broad daylight in New York, be released with no bail, give everyone the finger and still not be deported!! Outrageous,” Musk tweeted.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO engaged with a Twitter user who echoed his sentiments, stating that Biden has the power to stop the surge in illegal immigration but chooses not to, leading to his allegations that the flood of aliens is intentional. Musk responded, acknowledging that he was slow to grasp the situation, stating, “I was embarrassingly slow to figure it out.”

‘This Is Insane’: Elon Musk Goes on Tear to Expose Ease of Election Fraud in U.S.

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Elon Musk has launched a barrage of messages to sound the alarm about the lack of election integrity in America and the “insane” ease by which voter fraud can be committed.

“In the USA, you don’t need government issued ID to vote and you can mail in your ballot,” Musk began Monday night. . .

Musk added: “We should require government ID and in-person voting (unless valid medical/ military/etc excuse), like other countries do or like if you want to buy beer.”

He then said with an accompanying video: “Claiming that people can’t figure out how to get ID is racist and should be condemned in the strongest possible terms.”

Musk also noted: “Literally the same people who said voter ID was racist also demanded that you get a vaccine ID to travel anywhere or work!”

X Ramps up Efforts to Eradicate Child Sexual Abuse Material

/7 Comments/in , /by

X, formerly Twitter, is ramping up its efforts to eradicate child sexual abuse material on its platform by evaluating all uploaded videos and GIFs, according to a Thursday press release.

The social media platform, owned by Elon Musk, reaffirmed its commitment to removing the illegal content and provided an update on its progress.

“Last year we made clear that our #1 priority was tackling child sexual exploitation (CSE) online. At X, we have zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation, and we are determined to make X inhospitable for actors who seek to exploit minors in any way,” X’s press release stated.

The social media site reported that it has significantly increased the number of reports to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and permanently suspended more than 11 million accounts from January to November 2023. It noted that in 2022, before Musk’s takeover, Twitter only suspended 2.3 million accounts accused of CSE violations.

“In the first half of 2023, X sent a total of 430,000 reports to the NCMEC CyberTipline. In all of 2022, Twitter sent over 98,000 reports,” X stated. (Read more from “X Ramps up Efforts to Eradicate Child Sexual Abuse Material” HERE)

By Breitbart. X owner Elon Musk reinstated InfoWars host Alex Jones on the social media platform Sunday.

Musk cited a poll which results showed in Jones’ favor, per the Associated Press (AP). . .

According to Merriam-Webster, the latin quotation means “The voice of the people (is) the voice of God.”

Alex Jones Applauds Musk for Reinstating Him, Warns the ‘Establishment’ Will ‘Come After Him’

By Daily Caller. Infowars founder Alex Jones applauded billionaire Elon Musk on Sunday for reinstating him to X (formerly Twitter), but gave a sharp warning that “big establishment sponsors” will “come after him.”

Jones was reinstated on the social media platform Saturday night following a Twitter poll asking users if they would want the Infowars founder back on the site. After almost 2 million votes, results showed that 70.1% of responders wanted Jones back on.

The Infowars founder joined his first Twitter space Sunday afternoon to discuss his thoughts on how it feels to be back on the platform since being banned in 2018 for alleged abusive behavior. When asked if he believed that Musk would possibly receive backlash for reinstating him, Jones stated that while it might “monetarily” hurt the platform, Musk is a “rebel.”

“Well, I think you said that yesterday … But he basically said it’s the right thing to do because the principle and it’s also what the majority of the vote said. So this probably will hurt X monetarily but ‘justice be done, may the heavens fall’ basically,” Jones stated. “But at the end of the day, it already has way more traffic and way more people — it’s avant-garde, it’s revolutionary, it’s rebel, it’s Maverick.”

“I’m not kissing [Elon Musk’s] ass, it’s true. And the fact that he could take over Twitter, free it and bring back one of the most demonized people — if not the most demonized in the world, talk about a witch hunt — shows he put his money where his mouth is and is the Maverick’s Maverick.”

Elon Musk’s Responds to Advertisers Boycotting Twitter With Three Simple Words (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk wasn’t having any games played by advertisers who pulled their business from Twitter, or X, in the wake of the billionaire entrepreneur’s response to a tweet many deemed to be antisemitic. It wasn’t a pretty exchange, and Musk has regretted his engagement, calling it the most “foolish” thing he’s ever done on the platform since taking it over.

Here’s what set off the firestorm earlier this month (via The Guardian):

Elon Musk tweeted his fervent agreement with an antisemitic statement on Wednesday night.

A tweet posted by @breakingbaht on Wednesday night read: “Jewish communties [sic] have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.

The billionaire owner and CTO of X, formerly Twitter, responded the same evening: “You have said the actual truth.” In another reply, he wrote: “I am deeply offended by ADL’s messaging and any other groups who push de facto anti-white racism or anti-Asian racism or racism of any kind.” Musk has feuded with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) before, threatening to sue over its accounting of hate speech on his social media network.

The ADL’s CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, decried Musk’s endorsement of the antisemitic conspiracy. He wrote: “At a time when antisemitism is exploding in America and surging around the world, it is indisputably dangerous to use one’s influence to validate and promote antisemitic theories. #NeverIsNow.”

That backlash has come in the form of boycotts and ad-pulling from corporate America, which Musk responded with three simple words: go f**k yourself.

Elon Musk Sparks Controversy by Addressing ‘Pizzagate’ Conspiracy on X

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk stirred controversy on X, formerly Twitter, by engaging with a user’s post connecting the founder of Media Matters with the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory. Musk, with a massive following of 160 million, responded with a simple “Weird,” drawing attention to the ongoing lawsuit between X and Media Matters. The lawsuit was initiated after a Media Matters report identified major brands’ ads running alongside pro-Nazi content on X, potentially leading to an exodus of advertisers from the platform.

“Pizzagate” originated during the 2016 US presidential election and falsely alleged a pedophilia ring involving prominent Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, operating out of a Washington, DC pizza shop, specifically Comet Ping Pong.

Musk’s response on X adds a new layer to the ongoing clash between X and Media Matters. The controversy surrounding “Pizzagate” and Musk’s engagement prompted a statement from Media Matters president Angelo Carusone, who accused Musk of making “meritless legal threats” and promoting “bizarre conspiracy theories.”

Comrade Elon: Musk Joins CEOs in Sucking up to China

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk and other CEOs from leading companies are converging in San Francisco for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit, aiming to strengthen their ties with communist China.

The Financial Post reports that San Francisco is currently the center of a major gathering of global business leaders, including Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, as the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit begins. This gathering of CEOs from companies like Microsoft, Citigroup, and Exxon Mobil occurs against the backdrop of a tense and complex U.S.-China trade environment.

The main agenda for these corporate leaders is clear: strengthening business ties with communist China. This goal is particularly pressing given the current trade challenges, marked by U.S. efforts to restrict China’s access to high-end computer chips and Beijing’s countermeasures, such as boosting its chip industry and promoting local products. The summit provides a rare opportunity for these executives to directly engage with China’s Xi Jinping, presenting a chance to discuss concerns and ambitions in a more personal setting.

Elon Musk is among the high-profile attendees. Musk’s participation highlights the significance of this event, as his companies have substantial interests in China. This summit is not just a meeting of minds but also an opportunity for direct dialogue with Chinese leadership, a major focus as business leaders attempt to navigate the regulations, tariffs, and export controls that currently define U.S.-China trade relations.

Elon Musk Tells Joe Rogan That Twitter ‘Suppressed’ Republicans ‘At 10 Times the Rate of Democrats’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tech mogul Elon Musk said Twitter “suppressed” Republicans at a significantly higher rate than Democrats during an interview with podcast host Joe Rogan.

Musk purchased Twitter, which he later renamed X, for $44 billion in October 2022 with the intent of reinstating free speech on the platform and publicly criticized the suppression of the New York Post’s story on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Conservatives widely praised Musk’s takeover after a series of suspensions and bans of right-leaning figures.

“The degree to which Twitter was simply an arm of the government was not well understood by the public,” Musk said. “And it was whatever, everything was like Pravda basically, a state publication, is the way to think of old Twitter. A state publication.”

“There was basically oppression of any views that, even I would say, be considered middle-of-the-road. But certainly, anything on the right, and I’m not talking about far-right, I’m just talking mildly right. Republicans were suppressed at 10 times the rate of Democrats. That’s because old Twitter was fundamentally controlled by the far-left. It was, like, completely controlled by the far-left.” (Read more from “Elon Musk Tells Joe Rogan That Twitter ‘Suppressed’ Republicans ‘At 10 Times the Rate of Democrats’” HERE)
