Yep.

He has a point, a cowards point, but still a point. Reckon if he would have said that it was the response to Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland that caused ww2?

One has to wonder if it's motivated by the pro-Russia Cult .45 attitude, but on its face saying, "Starlink was never intended for military use," is not unreasonable. I guess it's become key to frontline comms for Ukraine. I'll bet the USG could replace the function for a fraction of the cost of the aid being delivered.

That's really what this is about.

He just wants to be paid.

Hmmm, that's a tough sell with the USG given how RW he's become. Maybe Ukraine will pay him.

(Musk’s Twitter is getting worse)

Also, it ain't just the Proud Boys and KKK:

Murderous Mexican Drug Cartels Are Thriving On Elon Musk’s Twitter
“Twitter shouldn’t provide a platform for Mexican cartel members to spread their hate and incite violence," an official for the organization behind a new report said.

Prominent members of Mexican drug cartels are using Twitter to recruit new members, send warnings to rival gangs, post gory images and videos, and glorify the narco lifestyle. Some of these accounts were banned by Twitter’s safety team between 2012 and 2015, but they have been reinstated since Elon Musk bought the company last year....

“Social media is a tool that provides benefits to and strengthens drug cartels by enhancing organizational and operational capabilities,” report author Dr. Nilda Garcia, assistant professor in the political science department at Texas A&M International University, told BuzzFeed News. “These communication outlets provide major opportunities for drug cartels not only to engage in public relations strategies, gain legitimacy, incite fear, and recruit, but also facilitate the diversification of criminal activities that involve extortion, drug sales, and human smuggling online.”

Some of the cartels’ imagery appears to violate Twitter’s policies around violent content. One video posted by a member of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, headed by Nemesio Oseguera, one of the world’s most-wanted drug lords, features decapitated heads of rival cartel members being tossed into a bonfire. Another tweet posted by a member of La Chapisa, a faction of the Sinaloa cartel, features a victim being scalped.

Under Musk’s leadership, the report said, Twitter’s efforts to remove this content and block these accounts has declined. Some of Musk’s actions — like firing over 70% of Twitter’s employees, including content moderators responsible for keeping the platform safe — have made the problem worse, according to the report....

Extremists and other bad actors have flourished under Musk’s leadership, as thousands of previously banned accounts were reinstated, including those of far-right figures like MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and former Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon....

The author of a book called Mexico’s Drug War and Criminal Networks: The Dark Side of Social Media, Garcia is an expert on the Sinaloa Cartel, which she said has a strong presence on Twitter. She estimated that on the platform the cartel reached more than 140 million people from nearly a dozen countries, including the US, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, and Mexico. “They have a wide-ranging fan base,” she said.



Some cartel members are more brazen than others. Rena “la Rana” Arzate Garcia, a member of the Sinaloa Cartel, for instance, has his “Wanted by the FBI” poster as his Twitter header image. The Cartel del Noreste has used its Twitter accounts to actively attract new members, posting recruitment notices right in its Twitter bios and inviting anyone interested to join the cartel’s Discord, the report states....

Thanks, Elon.

NPR leaves Twitter amid dispute over labeling
The international media organization will halt tweets on its 52 official feeds.

NPR will stop sharing content on Twitter, the company announced Wednesday -- a rebuke of certain labels the social media platform attached to the news outlet.

The international media non-profit said the categorization -- first as "US state-affiliated media" and later "government-funded media" -- prompted the outlet to stop posting "fresh content to its 52 official Twitter feeds," according to a Wednesday statement.

"It would be a disservice to the serious work you all do here to continue to share it on a platform that is associating the federal charter for public media with an abandoning of editorial independence or standards," NPR CEO John Lansing said in an email to staff explaining the decision.

Owned by Elon Musk, Twitter is working to undermine NPR's credibility, the outlet said.

​​"NPR's organizational accounts will no longer be active on Twitter because the platform is taking actions that undermine our credibility by falsely implying that we are not editorially independent," NPR said in a statement Wednesday.

Twitter labeled NPR's main account as "US state-affiliated media" last week. The "state-affiliated media" stamp is also used to identify media outlets run or heavily influenced by authoritarian governments, like in Russia or China.

Twitter policy defines its labeling of state-affiliated media accounts as outlets where "the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution."

The company later changed NPR's label to "government-funded media," a stamp that has since remained. At least one other public news organization, the BBC, has the same label.

Twitter defines "government-funded media" accounts as "outlets where the government provides some or all of the outlet's funding and may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content."

On Wednesday, after NPR's announcement, the GOP's House Judiciary (Jim Jordan molestor-abettor) Twitter account appeared to weigh in on the incident, saying "Defund NPR" in a Tweet.

NPR does not receive direct federal funds, but it receives some government funding through grants from federal agencies and departments. The company said those funds account for less than 1% of their annual operating budget.

In a farewell tweet, NPR suggested people subscribe to its "Up First'' newsletter, download the NPR app and enable mobile push alerts.

That's huge. FU Elon.

Speaking of untrustworthy Elon and dead Texans, he's too much of a moronic coward to admit it when a mass murderer is on his RW team:

When did the first amendment morph into the right to be stupid?

Musk has questioned whether the man identified by authorities as the shooter, Mauricio Garcia, really had an account on a Russian social media platform, and Musk suggested that revelations about the shooter's background could be a “psyop,” or psychological operation, in which the public is misled about the real details of the shooting.

And therein lies the real danger of all the fake stuff - not in the fake stuff itself, but in the breakdown of trust in the real, and the unwillingness to accept real when you see it.

Twitter Halts Promotion Of Campaign Video Due To ‘Abortion Advocacy’
“The mention of abortion advocacy is the issue here,” a Twitter employee told North Carolina candidate Rachel Hunt, according to emails HuffPost reviewed.

... The video, created by North Carolina state Sen. Rachel Hunt (D) for her campaign for lieutenant governor, centers on abortion rights in North Carolina and the fall of Roe v. Wade. Hunt says in the video that she’s running for lieutenant governor to combat anti-choice Republicans who recently passed a 12-week abortion ban in the state....

The video is still available on Twitter, but the Hunt campaign cannot currently advertise or promote the video on the platform....

Got a question for Twitter's press team? The answer will be a poop emoji

... "Huh, same as general user experience then," wrote Charles Rickett, a video editor with the U.K. tabloid Metro, in a comment that's gotten more than 1,600 likes....
