I'm just extremely annoyed that he desperately wants to be funny but he just reminds me of the "how do you do fellow kids" meme. I don't know why I allow myself to be impacted by some dumb rich person but I'm sick of seeing him everywhere online. Allow me to be terminally online in peace dammit.

Don't help cats, outdoor cats kill 2.4 billion birds per year.

Eradicate cats they are a scourge upon the earth.

Without cats, birds would blot out the sun, ruining crops and leaving us all to starve. I salute the brave cats fighting against the avian menace.

Oh, forgot to add his stupid explanation that clarified jack poo poo:

quote:

Musk had previously said that it would be good for users to be able to "select which version of Twitter you want."

"The rating of the tweet itself could be self-selected, then modified by user feedback," he had added.

So like, I subjectively decide my tweet is rated R, but then if enough people decide, it get be reduced to a PG-13, or whatever?

Great job, Mr. Musk. Genius thinking as always.

twitter is just going to become a game of who can sneak poo poo past the content filter and it will be scored by how many levels they can get though like "oh man, I got the n word all the way to PG-13 top that poo poo"

Great job, Mr. Musk. Genius thinking as always.

The only people who will rate other people's tweets are bad actors brigading someone's account like reddit.

He'll then say he trained an AI for it and the AI will automatically sequester minorities, and it won't do jack poo poo for tweets that aren't in English
