When he purchased Twitter in October of 2022, Elon Musk claimed he was doing so to “help humanity.”
Of course, that was utter bullshit. Musk has never been interested in helping anyone but himself, and it turns out the real reason he forked over $44 billion to buy the social media platform was to control the debate on any number of issues and bolster political figures who share his right-wing view of the world.
At first, fellow extremists on the right cheered Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, which he soon renamed “X.” They claimed he believed in free speech and would allow open and fair debate on matters that impact all of us.
Now, however, some in the pro-Trump MAGA movement are souring on Musk and accusing him of throttling their reach on Twitter to ensure fewer people see their postings.
Laura Loomer is among the pro-Trump/MAGA influencers who say Musk has betrayed them because they disagree with his push to allow more foreign high-tech workers in the United States.
Loomer is now accusing Musk of throttling comments on her posts and marking them as spam.
“I asked X how this post could have 121 comments and then all but 7 of them are marked as spam. So every single person who commented below on the lawfare against Trump violated the ‘platform manipulation and spam policy’? That is a lie being used to censor,” Loomer wrote. “You be the judge yourself and open the tweet and read the comments. There’s nothing wrong with majority of the comments. I really hope this censorship ends soon. [Musk] can you plz review this issue with the probable spam? Majority of users are not in violation of policies. This is alarming.”
That led another conservative to ask Loomer where his comments could be found on her posting. She replied, “Your reply is also being marked as ‘probable spam’.”
“You are a premium user. You are paying for a service and being marked as spam. I wish we could get an honest reply about why this is happening to so many people on X. How are Legit replies spam?” Loomer then asked.
Loomer added:
As you’d expect, Loomer and others who have dared to disagree with Musk on the immigration issue haven’t heard a damn thing from Musk or others at Twitter. They’re paying for a service and can’t even get replies to their questions. And they’re furious about it.
Isn’t it ironic that the same people who believe Donald Trump’s lies also thought Elon Musk would tell them the truth? Fascists and oligarchs don’t believe in accountability. They’re far too busy trying to enslave the world so they can acquire more money and power for themselves.
