Reminder that Elon let Taibbi and Weiss go through people's emails and private messages over the last two weeks, most notably were links to Hunter Biden dick pics which I'd imagine we're not cleared through Hunter. The pulling of said pictures was also touted as "the Biden administration" trampling the 1st Amendment.

Edit: I guess they could go with the "public figure" excuse, but I don't think it's a winning strategy towards keeping big name users on your platform if leaked nudes are ok if one is a "public figure ".

Ah yes, taking the "physical or emotional harm" moral high ground to justify doing whatever the hell Elon wants.

It's funny because Elon has also shown that he couldn't give two damns about his kids beyond making sure that he's doing his duty to the 14 words and having a ton of little white Elon babies are running around. Hell, even his kids hate him because of his lovely/bigoted views.

So I guess he made his 'major announcement'

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/trump-reveals-new-99-trading-card

quote:

Former President Donald Trump's teased "MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT" turned out to be a new Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection.

The former president made the revelation on Truth Social on Thursday, noting that the cards will cost $99 each. Portraying himself as one of the multitudes of billionaire superheroes that dominate comic book lore, Trump touted the digital as a way to make Christmas "great."

A promotional graphic showed a deeply muscular and toned Trump donning a red outfit laced with the number 45, a nod to his presidency, with a stoic look on his face and an American flag-styled cape draped behind him.

"MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! My official Donald Trump Digital Trading Card collection is here! These limited edition cards feature amazing ART of my Life & Career! Collect all of your favorite Trump Digital Trading Cards, very much like a baseball card, but hopefully much more exciting. Go to collecttrumpcards.com/ & GET YOUR CARDS NOW! Only $99 each! Would make a great Christmas gift. Don’t Wait. They will be gone, I believe, very quickly," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
