In reply to the discussion: X/Twitter [View all]DaBronx
(772 posts)41. You are making a lot of assumptions
I wish everyone would get off X. Sponsors and all. It would be wonderful to see it go down in flames. Boycott is a form of protest and thats what id like to see. I have no interest whatsoever in gaining power. As I said, I dont want to quash free speech, at the same time I do not understand how critically thinking DUers continue to support Musks X given that he is dismantling our democracy and his behavior is clearly off. What part of Nazi salute do people not understand? I dont get it at all. My original post was curious and the responses were pretty aggressive. I did not personally attack anyone.

I have never been on twitter/X, but am not going to lecture or control those who are.

To imply people here are Musk supporters simply because they disagree w/ you & your board policing is outrageous.

Of course it is an outrageous false smear. Just because a person posts X here or posts on X doesn't make them pro Musk.

I am not 'making assumptions'. I am simply effectively using your own words against you in my pushback.

If you have an account and are active on it at all, you help Musk sell advertising and make money.
