"Backed by fans...#Trump publicly attacked me. Two years later, following his acquisition of Twitter and after I resigned my role as the company’s head of trust and safety, #ElonMusk added fuel to the fire. I’ve lived with armed guards outside my home and have had to upend my family, go into hiding for months and repeatedly move."

This week I deactivated all my #Twitter accounts. Musk’s erratic and constant amplification of authoritarians, white supremacists, and antisemites was the last straw. I want no part of that.

I mainly use Mastodon (@davidnewman) and Facebook (as David Newman) but also have accounts on Threads and Instagram as @davidrobertnewman. I also have Bluesky and Post accounts but rarely use them.

#elmo wants X to become like China's WeChat 'everything' app.

The Guardian spoke to Melissa Ingle, who had been a data scientist at Twitter before leaving. She noted Musk has already decimated his workforce and doesn't have staff to build out a large project like that.

Bruce Daisley, also a former Twitter staffer, says #WeChat is an extension of the Chinese government, which bundles all services within. Why should that work in the west?

#PhonyStark's relentless "magic beans” promotion of #Tesla full self driving + other ‘advanced technologies’ has a single purpose:

*harvest human+device behavioral #data*

Every EV's main job #JTBD = save incumbent auto industry capital structures NOT the 🌍

Every vehicle is bristling with sensors that feed a range of #Elmo controlled #AI's. They're like #Android #smartphones on 4 wheels.

Too bad for humanity, that #Elmo doesn't only talk big but also gets big things actually done against the odds.

Yes, hilarious that #PhonyStark/DeSpeptic campaign launch melted down on Spaces but please ensure your
"Schadefreuden-0-Meters”
don’t spike to “11”

Stupid or not: #ElonMusk, Sacks, #PeterThiel are immediate threats to #Democracy

• Clown-Shows = dazzle-camouflage for f*ckery

• #Twitter = oligarch PsyOp

#Elmo a master gaslighter who plays partners, Govt’s, customers, media for chumps
