I think it's at least as likely that Musk cutting 4/5 of his workforce and requiring the people that stayed to work 80-hour weeks is to blame for this incident versus Musk taking an interest in some random Palestinian journalist.Why Won't Elon Musk Let Me Follow This Palestinian Journalist?
Musk admitted X is throttling links but this is a new level of weird.
Elon Musk, the billionaire propagandist for Donald Trump and owner of X, admitted over the weekend that his social media platform restricts the spread of tweets that share links. But X users are starting to wonder how much more manipulation has been happening behind the scenes in recent weeks. Because one Palestinian journalist in particular appears to be experiencing a major issue with his account. Nobody can follow him for some unknown reason and it looks like many people who were already following him have been purged as followers.
Younis Tirawi has been covering the current war in Gaza ever since it started in late 2023, sending updates about the brutality that’s killed over 44,000 Palestinians and wounded at least 104,000. Tirawi has covered the war crimes being committed by the Israeli military in the occupied territories, which has obviously made him a target for hate among some in the Israeli media.
But something weird happened to Tirawi’s X account over the weekend. It appears his followers have largely been purged and anyone who tries to follow him won’t actually see his updates in their feed. Gizmodo tried multiple times to follow Tirawi’s account and after refreshing the page it was clear we weren’t able to make it stick. No matter what we did, it would always go back to showing we weren’t following him.
Yes, as bad as Bolton is, Gorka is much worse
This is not really my specialty, but it seems to me that if Trump ends up actually trying this full "return to work" policy, they may face some legal challenges to that requirement that are based on the assertion that rather than being in the interests of the government it's clearly just a pretext to force people to quit - with the primary evidence being that Musk and Vivek described it exactly that way in advance.
I think it is interesting that you espouse views like this without one shred of evidence that such a reduction is "doable" without a major disruption of essential services and/or the larger economy. Oh, and I have plenty of experience working in the private sector. Even as someone who owns my own business and beats much larger competitors at their game, I think such a pronouncement without details is a huge pile of horseshit.
It will never cease to amaze me how ill-informed people are. Long, long overdue? Like this hasn't been done many times before. Hoover Commission, Grace Commission, NPR. The reality is, like any large organization, there are ways to reduce costs. They should be pursued, but won't amount to any huge number (relatively speaking). The reality is, also, that our current debt/deficit has very little to do with 'waste'. It is due to the demand for services by the citizenry and the concurrent unwillingness of the citizenry to pay for them.
I am. And they snookered Trump and fools like you, because that's how much LNG would have been exported to EU anyway. Maybe a few countries bought a little more for a couple of years , but it was basically of zero effect.Are you talking about this deal?

He's a modern day Goebbels.
But but but.......EGGS!!!
I mean... Now you're just making stuff up. For all we know there could be dividends being paid to this day in the form of increased exports. Who knows.
Did you delete or deactivate the account? I’d like to follow suitDeleted my X account today.Now that some sports teams are starting to co-post on BlueSky, it was just the time to say peace out to Elon's awfulness
