Alex Jones, Elon Musk, Andrew Tate and Vivek Ramaswamy are currently hosting a Twitter space call right now discussing politics. It shows you how strong the alternative-Libertarian movement has become.

It actually shows how weak it is. A hated billionaire (whose reputation is getting worse by the day) is chatting with a completely irrelevant wash-up, a soon-to-be-imprisoned sex offender, and a Republican polling in the single digits in his primary. People like this are ensuring that whatever their political movement is will never be electable in the United States.

And the washed-up frozen food heir is launching his own streaming service rather than keep using Musk's deadbirdsite.

The fact that four Nazi sympathizers are all jerking each other off shows nothing in itself. How big was the audience?

Damn, what a freak show that must have been. Not even sure who would be the craziest or most immoral in that bunch. Maybe Alex Jones, but damn those other 3 guys give him a real run for his money.

And yet one of them is gunning to be the running mate of someone who is winning the election after losing the last one by millions of votes, is giving rallies dispite being indicted for a capital offense, negligently killed millions of people, and almost overthrew the government when he lost.

I’ll just stfu now and everyone else should too. This situation is like being in the mountains and being within a few yards of a grizzly.

I agree. This is savant level sh**t. How are you this inattentive (or crude) and yet be  a senior-level contributor to a totalitarian geopolitical movement on the precipice of global domination?

My head says that somehow things will work out because they always do but my heart says that things will always work out until they don’t. Get it?

Elon Musk restores X account of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones
Quote
Musk, who has described himself as a free speech absolutist, said the move was about protecting those rights. In response to a user who posted that “permanent account bans are antithetical to free speech,” Musk wrote, “I find it hard to disagree with this point.”

Does @ElonJet have anything to say in response? Or maybe @TrumpJets? How about cartoonist Jeph Jacques, who parodied Musk on Twitter? Maybe the left-wing Elm Fork John Brown Gun Club? Or antifacsism activist Chad Loder? I'm sure all these people can tell us a lot about how important free speech is.

About 100k people or (X users) tuned into the live call to listen, many could be bots but still thats a lot of people who attended.

The fact that you view these people positively says everything we need to know about your moral character. The fact that you think they're "libertarians" says everything we need to know about your intelligence.

I genuinely couldn't think of a less appealing group of people if I tried.
I don't agree with a lot of what they say. In fact, Alex Jones and Andrew Tate have said some truly awful things, but nonetheless they should have the right to say those viewpoints and be encouraged to participate in the global townsquare and I support their fight to be uncensored.

App That Creates Fake Nudes For Blackmail Allowed to Advertise on X
Quote
An app called DeepNudeAI, which allows users to upload real photos of women and then creates a fake AI generated image of them nude is currently advertising on X, formerly known as Twitter. The service is being promoted by an X user who goes by Марина and the handle @Marina247016199.

The app is part of new series of privacy invasion AI apps called "undressing apps" that create deep-faked nudes. In the new reality of AI, anything from speech to body can be faked in a strikingly realistic way, capable of fooling everyone but the most savvy or trained eyes.

Undressing apps allow users to customize the nude they receive, including changing the age of the victim in the image to make them look underaged.

These reports come and paint a picture of the average XChan user smelling like fish and having semen stained sweatpants. Are they actual people from the anti-marijuana propaganda in Fear and Loathing?

Elon Musk told bankers they wouldn’t lose any money on Twitter purchase
Quote
The verbal guarantees were made by Musk to banks as a way to reassure the lenders as the value of the social media site, now rebranded as X, fell sharply after he completed the acquisition last year.

Despite the assurances, the seven banks that lent money to the billionaire for his buyout—Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Barclays, MUFG, BNP Paribas, Mizuho and Société Générale—are facing serious losses on the debt if and when they eventually sell it.
Quote
One multibillion-dollar firm that specializes in distressed debt called X’s debt “uninvestable.”

Selling the $12.5 billion of bonds and loans below 60 cents on the dollar—a price many investors believe the banks would be lucky to achieve in the current market—would imply losses before accounting for X’s interest payments of $4 billion or more, writedowns that have not yet been publicly reported by the syndicate of lenders, according to FT calculations. The debt is split between $6.5 billion of term loans, as well as $6 billion of senior and junior bonds and a $500 million revolver.

Tesla removes Disney+ from vehicles amid Elon Musk’s Twitter beef with Bob Iger
Quote
Tesla has removed Disney+ from some of its vehicles amid Elon Musk having an online fight with Disney CEO Bob Iger. The fight started when Disney halted its advertising on X after Musk agreed with and amplified antisemitic content, for which he eventually apologized.

Every week, there’s a new drama with Elon Musk on X, formerly known as Twitter. It sometimes indirectly affects Tesla, but this time, it affects it directly.

Mr. Musk appears very angry that Disney CEO Bob Iger listened to him.

Twitter violated contract by failing to pay millions in bonuses, judge rules
Quote
“Once Schobinger did what Twitter asked, Twitter’s offer to pay him a bonus in return became a binding contract under California law. And by allegedly refusing to pay Schobinger his promised bonus, Twitter violated that contract,” the judge wrote.
Quote
Twitter’s lawyers argued that the company made only an oral promise that was not a contract, and that Texas law should govern the case, according to Courthouse News, which first reported the ruling. The judge ruled that California law governed the case and that “Twitter’s contrary arguments all fail.

Or, to put it another way, the dead bird site's lawyers explain to a California court that when the dead bird site's executives speak, they're lying.

https://www.axios.com/2023/12/31/elon-musks-x-fidelity-valuation-cut


Fidelity drops its estimate of Twitter's value 71% from the 44 billion Musk paid for it, down to 12.5 billion. I'm sure everything is fine over there and they're not panicking at all about losing about 5/7ths of their value in less than 2 years.
