That's pretty funny and if true, it won't last. Trolls are some of the people willing to pay a subscription because they get more than $8 worth of amusement per month out of trolling.Wow. The number of new features Twitter has added in the last 4 months is just astounding. The fact that I see my followers and blue checks ahead of all the trolls and bots, that alone is an amazing feature.
Not just the left. The whole media is losing its mind that their gas lighting days are coming to an end.Face it - the Left is going bonkers simply because they are losing control of their media monopoly
You can be tolerant without accepting that people have views, but can also be intolerant to them being given an audience.
The right is going bonkers because they have a conspiracy theory for everything. Every time someone opposes their extremist positions it's always due to some conspiracy against them as opposed to the fact that most people just don't care for extremists.
When I was in 4th grade, I was taught to tolerate free speech. “I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”
Who gets to define "intolerance" in your utopian tolerant society?
For instance, is it "intolerant" (and worthy of social media bans or losing one's job) to have some misgivings on the medical efficacy of cutting off children's body parts for "gender affirmation"?
There is a big difference between tolerating and celebrating certain views.
Face it - the Left is going bonkers simply because they are losing control of their media monopoly. All Elon is doing is pulling back the curtain a bit and Leftists now have to do the harder work to actually defend their positions intellectually as opposed to simply shutting down the debate from the Right.
White Replacement TheoryHelpful if you can define what is an extremist position that is held by mainstream Republicans and Conservatives that *you* think is so vile and dangerous that it is worthy of banning. Near as I can tell, some of the biggest Conservative positions are pretty mainstream (even in SoCal) in terms of border security, funding adequate police to reduce crime, lower taxes/government regulation, energy independence and skepticism of the efficacy of carving up gender confused children.
Also, lets not pretend that the Left has no conspiracy theories at all!
- Russia stole the 2016 election for Trump
- Diebold Machines stole the 2000 and 2004 elections for Bush
- Democrat and minority run cities like Minneapolis, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Portland, Detroit, Seattle are so rife with Systemic Racism - they need to "re-imagine" (cough cough defund) policing
- Men can get pregnant.....
What's that I keep seeing about the right wanting the government to ban medical procedures that doctors say are necessary?lower taxes/government regulation
Extremists on all sides have their idiotic conspiracy theories. But notice how the people in positions of power on the left keep calling BS on said conspiracy theories while the people in positions of power on the right amplify them? Then you've got Elon, who almost exclusively amplifies conspiracy theories of the right while simultaneously claiming to be a centrist. Honestly, his "I am a centrist" claim might be more believable if he were amplifying conspiracy theories of both sides although in practice, I don't know too many centrists who amplify conspiracy theories period (as opposed to calling BS on them).Also, lets not pretend that the Left has no conspiracy theories at all!

I was not.Woah Woah Woah. That's not true, sorry.
If you are talking transgender surgery
@DarkandStormy - you lose the argument if you go straight to Nazi tropes to justify banning speech. Especially since the Nazis were very big fans of censoring everything that went against their POV.
"Would Censorship Have Stopped the Rise of the Nazis?"

Greg Lukianoff (President of FIRE) and Prof. Nadine Strossen (former President of the ACLU) have an excellent post on this...reason.com

I can't believe Elon was stupid enough to move Tesla's HQ to a state that doesn't even allow Tesla to deliver cars built in that state directly to people who live in that state. Can you imagine what would happen if California insisted that CPUs Intel manufactures in California cannot be delivered directly to Californians?This is quite funny. The Right wants to ban drag shows, abortion, teaching the full history of the U.S., trans people, gay marriage, lawmakers who are trans, in a few states the sales of EVs, corporations supporting gay or trans people...what else am I missing?
Musk is showing all of us how to defund Twitter.

That Abbott Kool-aid he's drinking must be good. I want to try some just to see how much it ruins my brain (and hopefully the effects are only temporary).I believe it.

I thought there was some weird requirement that the cars have to be shipped out of the state first, if they were built in Texas and delivered to Texans? Obviously doesn't apply to cars built in Fremont (which are coming from out of state) and delivered to Texans.Not true. They can deliver cars, and people in that state can order them.
Details matter. Tesla can't run a SALES center and talk about pricing etc. If someone asks, they have to be referred to the website (which fortunately makes it easy to order and answers most major questions).
I agree in general with your gist, but Tesla can and has been delivering cars to Texas since the very beginning.
