I did an interesting experiment on facebook earlier this year where i would block 2-3 or the obvious troll accounts on the rage bait political posts. It only took a few months or looking at 1 or 2 posta a day and now all those posts that say they have thousands or comments only show me less than 100 comments when I go to look at them. It is sort of sad how ineffective social media platforms are at getting rid of bots, I guess the money is just too good.

It’s a feature not a bug. They could easily severely limit the amount of bots and foreign trolls but that would lower engagement. The only way they would fix this is if users either did what you did or simply stopped using their service.

They should raise the fine by 5% every time he complains, just because he's being a giant man baby. It's very pathetic to be that rich and be that much of a fucking baby.

The next administration should be spending substantial resources to specifically ruin Musk's life, including using stuff like civil asset forfeiture to relieve him of the wealth he's used to propose his crimes.

Edit: this is the linked article in the quote post that doesn't show up: https://futurism.com/advanced-transport/spacex-buying-unfathomable-number-cybertrucks

well he is an illegal alien so first thing is to ship him off to CECOT (or the equivalent, because obviously CECOT needs to be shutdown/El Salvador heavily "sanctioned" until this is done).

Don Jr/Eric/Vanky are as well ... Only Tiffany is a "legit" citizen according to the MAGA klan. At least for the ones we know about.

Why was this reporter's travel in the Epstein files? All they were doing was uncovering the truth, yet for some reason, the Trump DOJ in 2019 or 2020 was following her...

I would think nothing of it for now. There's probably absolutely everything connected in there. Remember that at that time, there remained actual justice-oriented agents int he FBI at the time. Trump2 is a very different monster.

Maybe. But Acosta did give Epstein a sweetheart deal, and plenty of sycophants around Trump 1 to also try and hide his misdeeds. Anyway, I reposted in the correct thread. Mixed up my threads when posting because it's easy to confuse the creeps.

I'm surprised Musk's CSAM machine hasn't been brought up, with people now using Grok to undress people, with no regards for people's ages, and create deep fake porn. Grok is now a giant sexual harassment machine and X and Musk are complicit or abetting it all. (Likely the latter, considering Musk reinstated the account of a guy who posted absolutely vile CSAM; tldr: Musk is probably a pedo, just like Epstein)
