So Musk will absolutely argue that allowing people to post dead Israelis and Palestinians on video proves how much he doesn’t hate Jews, won’t he?

Twitter seems a lot worse right now at following complex current events like wars and natural disasters. When the invasion of Ukraine started, it was pretty simple to use Twitter to see an aggregated view of credible news sources and analysis. Now, searching for keywords about the fighting in Israel just turns up Reply Guys and blue check hashtag spammers.

It's amazing how much shittier the platform has gotten in just under two years.

It hasn't even been a year since Musk took over lmao

Also, this is Israel we're talking about here.

If you pretend to attack them they'll still murder you and everyone around you.

lol you don't even need complex current events to see how bad it is now, recently there has been a sports event on an island here where someone drowned. all the mainstream news outlet reported about it, even on their twitter accounts. but if you searched on twitter you'd get a ton of spam about holidaying there, posts from 8 years back, and you could barely get any of those news accounts.

facebook used to be good for news as well but it took a nosedive in the last 5-8 years where searching gets you groups and pages that are barely related to your search term

It's probably the Atomic attack on Hiroshima, where the USAF flew recon flights over the city daily so the people where used to being overflown.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Lol. It's always so cute when someone just doesn't "get" the art of war. See Musk is deeply versed in the Polytopia meta. Complex, muti threaded, achronological reverse deception backward lighting blitzes like this are mere child's play to his mind.
