MAGA Influencers Attack Elon Musk For Censoring Their Twitter Posts

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.

MAGA Civil War Erupts Online After Elon Musk Censors Posts From Trump Ally

When he purchased Twitter for $44 billion in 2022, Elon Musk claimed he had done so because he wanted a social media platform that didn’t censor people’s online posts, no matter how controversial they might be.

And yet that’s exactly what Musk is accused of doing after Trump ally Laura Loomer dared criticize the Twitter CEO. The back-and-forth between the two is causing a major rift in the so-called MAGA coalition.

Loomer lashed out at Musk after he called for the United States to import more engineers from overseas because the U.S. doesn’t produce enough of them to keep up with the increasing demand for such workers.

“The number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low,” Musk asserted. “Think of this like a pro sports team: if you want your TEAM to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever they may be. That enables the whole TEAM to win.”

That didn’t sit well with many Trump acolytes, including Loomer, who can best be described as a professional gadfly who appears to have no other job than sticking her nose up Donald’s ass while giving him a reach-around.

In response, Loomer wrote, “The elephant in the room is that Elon Musk, who is not MAGA and never has been, is a total f—— drag on the Trump transition. He’s a stage 5 clinger who over stayed his welcome at Mar-a-Lago to… be the point man for all his accomplices in big Tech to slither in.”

After Musk accused Loomer of trolling, she again hit back.

“Telling the truth isn’t trolling,” she asserted. “You bought your way into MAGA 5 minutes ago after Trump almost had his head blown off in Butler… we all know you only donated your money so you could influence immigration policy and protect your buddy Xi Jinping.”

Rather than debate Loomer further, Musk removed her blue check verification badge and allegedly stripped her of her paid subscribers, with Loomer fuming, “X removed my verification, my subs, and my ability to get premium again.”

Loomer also called Musk a hypocrite.

“How are we have an open debate when people who called out [American work visa program] H1B (including me) just had their verifications taken away by X? This is censorship… not open debate.”

Others in the Trump-MAGA coalition also criticized Musk.

Elon Musk’s Mother Accused Of Committing A Federal Crime

Failed one-term former president Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, and was joined onstage by a surprise guest: Twitter CEO Elon Musk, who is supporting the disgraced ex-head of state so he can get more massive tax cuts and other perks if the Donald manages to win a second term in office.

Musk told rallygoers they needed to be sure and vote in November.

“Now, America is the home of the brave, and there’s no truer test than courage under fire … who do you want representing America? Yeah, absolutely. And I think this, this, this election, I think the most important election of our lifetime, this is — this is no ordinary election.”

Before taking the stage with Trump, Musk posted this on Twitter/X:

“Super important to get all your friends and family to register to vote,. Georgia’s registration deadline is Monday!!”

Musk’s mother, Maye, then decided she’d add her own two cent’s worth of mayhem, urging people to cheat if necessary to guarantee Trump wins.

“The Democrats have given us another option. You don’t have to register to vote. On Election Day, have 10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times. That’s 100 votes, and it’s not illegal. Maybe we should work the system too.”

Did she just encourage people to commit voter fraud? That was the consensus online, with some people suggesting that Mrs. Musk should be referred to the FBI for investigation and prosecution.

Mark Cuban Fact-Checks Elon Musk’s Latest Lie By Using Musk’s Own Technology Against Him

Billionaire entrepreneurs Mark Cuban and Elon Musk got into a dispute on social media over the issue of immigration. When the dust cleared, it turned out that Musk’s own AI technology exposed him and his lies.

The dispute between Cuban and Musk began when the Twitter CEO declared that the “only way to save” American democracy from immigrants, posting, “Very few Americans realize that, if Trump is NOT elected, this will be the last election.”

Musk added that Democrats are flying immigrants “directly into swing states” who are then “fast-tracked to citizenship” to help liberals win the 2024 election.

As HuffPost notes, the government’s immigration statistics prove that Musk is full of crap.

Noncitizens must first spend at least five years as a lawful permanent resident before they’re typically eligible for naturalization, meaning Musk’s conspiracy would have had to begin during the Trump administration to bear any meaningful fruit. (The median number of years in the U.S. for citizens naturalized in 2023 was actually longer: seven years.)

And according to the Department of Homeland Security, the top 10 states where people who were naturalized last year reside are: California (not a swing state), Texas (not a swing state), Florida (not really), New York (absolutely not), New Jersey (also solidly blue), Illinois (nuh-uh), Washington (try again), Pennsylvania (the only one), Massachusetts (blue) and Virginia (debatable).

Cuban saw Musk’s disgusting post and decided he’d employ Musk’s supposedly “anti-woke” AI chatbot, Grok, to take him to school on the issue of immigration.

“Hey [Elon Musk], truly appreciate the work you have done with [Grok].” Cuban replied to Musk It’s a great way to factcheck you.”

According to Grok, Musk’s claim “contains exaggerated claims and speculative fears rather than factual analysis,” and was “presented in an alarmist and overly deterministic manner.”

Cuban also had a warning for Musk regarding his support of Donald Trump.

“Elon, there will come a time when you need something from Donald Trump,” he wrote. “You will think you will have earned the right to ask and receive. You have been a loyal, faithful soldier for him. You have supported him politically with 10s of millions of dollars.

“Then, at the point you need him the most, you will find out what so many before you have learned, his loyalty is only to himself.”

Game, set, and match Mark Cuban. Thank you for proving that Elon Musk is the one who needs to be deported back to his home country of South Africa. That would go a long way to making America great again.

Heavily Slurring Trump Gets Dubbed ‘Sylvester The Cat’ After Disastrous Interview With Elon Musk

In what may wind up being seen as the worst mistake ever made by a presidential candidate, failed one-term, twice-impeached, and multiply-indicted former president Donald Trump sat down Monday evening for a two-hour “interview” with Twitter CEO Elon Musk. But Trump would have done better if he’d stayed home and arranged his sock drawer.

The online discussion began with a series of technical glitches that delayed the program for nearly an hour, which should have served as a bad omen for Trump, who nevertheless agreed to stay and have an often rambling and incomprehensible chat with Musk, HuffPost notes.

Former President Donald Trump went on a two-hour tear of lies, exaggerations and fearmongering in a conversation Monday with billionaire Elon Musk on the X social media platform.

The chat between the two men, one the Republican nominee for president and the other the world’s richest man, is Trump’s latest effort to appeal to voters as Vice President Kamala Harris has continued to gain ground in the early days of her Democratic presidential bid. Musk, who has endorsed Trump, said the event was meant to let people “get a feel” for what the former president is like when he’s having a casual conversation.

What immediately caught the attention of many who listened to the interview was how often Trump slurred his words and repeatedly dropped the “s” at the end of words.

As a result of Trump’s trouble with speaking, many on social media couldn’t resist mocking the disgraced ex-president, with some even suggesting he sounded like the cartoon character Sylvester the Cat, who was always on the hunt for Tweety Bird.
