Want to see the Forbidden Interview that got Don Lemon's twitter show axed? The interview that Elon paid for? The interview that Elon asked Don Lemon to conduct, that was to launch twitter's entry into serious video hosting to destroy youtube & tiktok?
The video that makes Elon look like the raving asshole he really is?
The video that Elon wouldn't release on twitter?
THAT video?
Of course you do.

Musk and Twitter are being accused of hypocrisy, given their claimed free-speech aspirations. But it's not as if there's much history of him or it living up to those standards in the first place. Twitter often censors commentators there—left wing ones, more often than not. Its policy against doxxing was applied here, but reactionary accounts are generally free to publicize the identities behind internet accounts that displease them and there are examples of Musk personally approving of doxxing individuals on the platform.

Ex-CNN Anchor Presses Billionaire On Claims About Lower Standards For Female And Minority Pilots
Former CNN anchor and now ex-X talk host Don Lemon, released yet another segment of his sit-down interview with X owner Elon Musk today, with the clip showing Lemon pressing Musk about the latter’s claim that the airline industry has lower standards for female and minority pilots than for white male pilots.
Appearing on ABC’s The View today to tout his upcoming, now-YouTube series The Don Lemon Show, Lemon brought along the new interview clip that features a persistent Lemon questioning a seemingly flustered Musk about the pilot issue.
Lemon points out that, after a door-sized panel blew off of an Alaska Airlines/Boeing jet mid-flight, the female pilot landed the plane safely and without further incident.
Musk has repeatedly tweeted and amplified others’ tweets that “DEI” – Diversity, Equity & Inclusion – is being prioritized by the airline industry over safety.
In the clip of the show, set to debut Monday on YouTube and other platforms, Lemon asks Musk, “Do you believe that women and minority pilots are inherently less intelligent and less skilled than white male pilots?”
“No,” Musk replies, “I’m just saying we should not lower standards for them.”
“But,” says Lemon, “there’s no evidence that the standards are being lowered when it comes to the airlines…”
“Ok, you’ve repeatedly said that there’s no evidence that the standards are being lowered,” replies Musk. “Then watch the replies showing all evidence that it is.”
“Replies on social media and twitter are not necessarily fact and evidence,” Lemon says.

An award named in Ruth Bader Ginsburg's honor was given to Elon Musk. The award is an award that "celebrates leaders who have demonstrated extraordinary accomplishments in their fields." An award that used to be for recognizing women, now expanded to include men... And given to Elon Musk. An award for Ruth Bader Ginsburg. For women. Given to Elon Musk.
I'm so sick of women's achievements and wishes being ignored or pushed aside so men can get more ass pats when we already live in the world of ass pats for men.

I got this meme from @marionumber4, though I'm not sure if they'll get banned or not for this.
Stonetoss (Nazi comic artist with no chin) got doxxed on Twitter and Elon Musk has been deleting and sometimes banning anybody who says his name.
It was a 99 Tweet long thread of his name, face, town he lives in and I heard it also included his workplace. It detailed how his comics were connected to some right-wing mass shooters and talked about how he's a bigot.
It's been archived on different websites despite Elon's efforts to un-dox (doxx?) him. I'm not going to post any of the archives because i only glanced at it and I don't want to get banned from Tumblr for doxxing, but his info is out there.
The top image is referring to the time Elon Musk unbanned somebody who got banned for posting screenshots of Daisy's Destruction because they're "friends" or whatever the fuck he said.

Oh, yeah, I was censored on Twitter because I participated in the "neo-Nazi cartoonist Stonetoss is actually Spring, Texas resident Hans Kristian Graenbener" bandwagon. Did I tell y'all that?

Even by recent standards, this is a really weird news story. It manages to involve: Mitch McConnell, a billionaire relative, Teslas, and a Texas pond.
Angela Chao, a shipping industry CEO and sister-in-law to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, died on a Texas ranch last month after her car went into a pond and became submerged in water for an extended period of time, The Wall Street Journal reported. Chao, 50, died Feb. 11 in the Texas Hill Country. A family statement at the time did not disclose details about her death and authorities in Blanco County have not released additional information, citing an ongoing investigation. The Wall Street Journal, citing a fire department incident report, said rescue workers needed a dive team upon arriving at the scene but none was available. One emergency unit arrived at 12:28 a.m., about 24 minutes after getting a call. Deputies requested devices to break the window of the vehicle, a Tesla, and an emergency services worker and firefighter entered the water with rescue tools. ' Chao was found unresponsive after the car was pulled from the water, Blanco County emergency services chief Ben Oakley said. She was pulled from the vehicle and attempts were made to resuscitate her, the Journal reported. Chao was the chair and CEO of her family’s shipping business, the Foremost Group, and the president of her father’s philanthropic organization, the Foremost Foundation.
Maybe Elon Musk should spend more time attending to actual business rather than plotting world domination.
Angela Chao's death reveals Tesla's long-standing reverse gear issues
The state of mind of Elon Musk is a matter for speculation.
SpaceX executives worried Elon Musk was on drugs during 'cringeworthy' all-hands meeting, WSJ reports
Maybe Elon was simply drunk with power at that meeting like some James Bond villain.
It would be disappointing if the survivors of Angela Chao did not file a lawsuit against Tesla asking for an amount large enough to make Elon Musk squeal like a pig.

I slept in and just woke up, so here's what I've been able to figure out while sipping coffee:
Twitter has officially rebranded to X just a day or two after the move was announced.
The official branding is that a tweet is now called "an X", for which there are too many jokes to make.
The official account is still @twitter because someone else owns @X and they didn't reclaim the username first.
The logo is 𝕏 which is the Unicode character Unicode U+1D54F so the logo cannot be copyrighted and it is highly likely that it cannot be protected as a trademark.
Outside the visual logo, the trademark for the use of the name "X" in social media is held by Meta/Facebook, while the trademark for "X" in finance/commerce is owned by Microsoft.
The rebranding has been stopped in Japan as the term "X Japan" is trademarked by the band X JAPAN.
Elon had workers taking down the "Twitter" name from the side of the building. He did not have any permits to do this. The building owner called the cops who stopped the crew midway through so the sign just says "er".
He still plans to call his streaming and media hosting branch of the company as "Xvideo". Nobody tell him.
This man wants you to give him control over all of your financial information.
Edit to add further developments:
Yes, this is all real. Check the notes and people have pictures. I understand the skepticism because it feels like a joke, but to the best of my knowledge, everything in the above is accurate.
Microsoft also owns the trademark on X for chatting and gaming because, y'know, X-box.
The logo came from a random podcaster who tweeted it at Musk.
The act of sending a tweet is now known as "Xeet". They even added a guide for how to Xeet.
The branding change is inconsistent. Some icons have changed, some have not, and the words "tweet" and "Twitter" are still all over the place on the site.
TweetDeck is currently unaffected and I hope it's because they forgot that it exists again. The complete negligence toward that tool and just leaving it the hell alone is the only thing that makes the site usable (and some of us are stuck on there for work).
This is likely because Musk was forced out of PayPal due to a failed credit line project and because he wanted to rename the site to "X-Paypal" and eventually just to "X".
This became a big deal behind the scenes as Musk paid over $1 million for the domain X.com and wanted to rebrand the company that already had the brand awareness people were using it as a verb to "pay online" (as in "I'll paypal you the money")
X.com is not currently owned by Musk. It is held by a domain registrar (I believe GoDaddy but I'm not entirely sure). Meaning as long as he's hung onto this idea of making X Corp a thing, he couldn't be arsed to pay the $15/year domain renewal.
Bloomberg estimates the rebranding wiped between $4 to $20 billion from the valuation of Twitter due to the loss of brand awareness.
The company was already worth less than half of the $44 billion Musk paid for it in the first place, meaning this may end up a worse deal than when Yahoo bought Tumblr.
One estimation (though this is with a grain of salt) said that Twitter is three months from defaulting on its loans taken out to buy the site. Those loans were secured with Tesla stock. Meaning the bank will seize that stock and, since it won't be enough to pay the debt (since it's worth around 50-75% of what it was at the time of the loan), they can start seizing personal assets of Elon Musk including the Twitter company itself and his interest in SpaceX.
Sesame Street's official accounts mocked the rebranding.
