What leftists has Elon Musk cracked down on?

I'm sure he's removed accounts hypocritically, but I just searched for John Brown Gun Club and got like 50 chapters. So if he did remove it in 2022 it caused a Streisand effect. The people in the second link were all reinstated and it was declared a mistake.

He can do whatever he wants, but it's pretty obvious that Elon Musk does not care about free speech and only wants people like this guy on the website because he personally agrees with him. There's little plausible deniability anymore. I'd be shocked if Elon Musk didn't believe outright that the Jews are controlling the world and attempting to manipulate fertility rates to ensure a majority-minority west. Just look at what he says, who he associates with, what he highlights on social media, and tell me with a straight face that free speech is his primary concern right now.

I've seen pretty convincing arguments that Elon's brain was completely cooked by:

1) his wife leaving him - attracted him to manosphere/red pill stuff and
2) having a trans child he doesn't accept

These personal life items turned him fully to the alt-right.

You are correct. It's pretty clear he wanted to turn Twitter into a massive echo chamber to air his pathetic grievances.

I've seen this happen to completely normal people. I know a guy personally who has turned into a Timothy McVeigh type purely from listening to the Joe Rogan podcast over the past couple years. It's sad to see.

It really does happen quite a lot and I don't think anybody has put forth a truly convincing theory to explain just why. The brain rot of internet echo chambers is definitely part of the explanation though. It also never seems to run the other way where someone on the right or the center all of a sudden becomes a rabid marxist.

If there are members here who have a solid and documented record of calling past elections correctly, I'm curious what you think the result in November will be?

Trump is going to win and i got feeling that he might even get the popular vote
It mid to late may and uh things are not looking Good for joe and with the fact trump have taken the strategy of trying to stay a bit quiet so the media focus on Biden to make him the fool candidate and doing rally in states that either swing or barely support biden it seem like trump going to win this election.

Trump may win, but he'll never, ever win the popular vote.

Well your right for now but that might change, a few months ago i thought trump was certified to lose this election and Biden would get a another 4 years but now? things look bright for Donnie so with maybe a bit of Israel situation or some inflation that might increases Trump odds of winning.

He and Kyle Rittenhouse will make a killer(wink, wink!) Republican ticket in 20 years. 

There's some ambiguity in the Rittenhouse case to where a jury found him not guilty. There's none in this case. Abbott is the worst of the worst as a human being in all of US politics.

Yeah, it’s a shame because the case blew up and became just another culture war thing.

     Realizing that Rittenhouse was in fact not guilty as charged really surprised me when it happened because it went hard against type for Atlas. Not a surprise that they reverted to their previous views on the topic once some time had passed.

Senile judge and anti-BLM jury that was always going to find him sympathetic.
Small comfort that the murderer looks to be doing nothing in his pathetic life with the second chance he didn't deserve.

     Judge if anything was too pro-prosecution, simply giving the prosecutor a scolding for trying to use Rittenhouse exercising his fundamental right to remain silent against him. Binger deserved to have the book thrown at him for that egregious display of prosecutorial misconduct.

Rittenhouse did nothing legally wrong. He was in fact facing a frenzied, mindless crowd and all the men who died at his hands had it coming.

Saying both are wrong doesn't make you a bad person or somehow make you a supporter of MTG.

No, it makes you a New York Times political journalist.

I'd say it makes you a mature and non-overly partisan person. The people supporting Crockett  are taking her side simply because they dislike MTG, not because she was actually right to respond as she did. They were both immature and both aren't emotionally suited to their position.

I understand the fact that a good chunk of Americans were not enthusiastic about either choice in 1992, but by 1996, Clinton had a pretty solid record, there was no major scandal dogging his Presidency yet, the economy was robust, and his approval ratings were consistently high.

Why didn't he break 50% or above in the popular vote - was Perot solely to blame here?

If I were a Southern segregationist I'd sue Biden for defamation.
