For the small price of $44 billion, you too can be fact-checked by your own platform. But not to worry, over 70% of his followers are fake. You know, all of those bots he complains about.
It's only Monday and the shiat-show on Elon's Twitter feed is in overload....

Yeah.... we know. Under Musk, Twitter is overrun with Covid misinformation, hate speech, copyrighted movies, porn and child trafficking material. A complete cesspool. And Musk wonders why advertisers want nothing to do with it.
Twitter is no longer enforcing its Covid misinformation policy

Good. The "Covid misinformation policy" was a bunch of horseshit from the start, with much of the people who were banned or censored ending up being correct, and much of the "truth" we were told to accept ending up as wrong or even dangerous. This is what chaps your ass when it comes to Twitter - you hate that anyone other than your side has a viewpoint that gets to be expressed.
You're an NPC, and a statist.
Musk's Child Safety team is is down to one person. Human trafficking and child sexual abuse material on Twitter is now at record peak levels.
Twitter-Musk Update: Child Safety Team Reportedly Gutted

Nov. 28: One employee left on child safety team
After widespread layoffs and resignations, a team tasked with identifying and removing child sexual abuse content from the site now has only one staffer, according to Wired. It wasn't immediately clear how many people were on the team previously, but Wired said it had identified four Singapore-based child safety specialists who said they left the company in November.
The team, based at Twitter's Asian headquarters in Singapore, is responsible for enforcing the company's ban on child sexual abuse material -- an ongoing and frustrating battle for the social network. Twitter, which makes most of its money from selling advertising, said in September it was investigating how ads from major brands appeared on profiles that were soliciting or selling child sexual abuse content.
Twitter representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Look who doesn't pay his employees. Is anyone surprised?
