Modi's toady - Elon Musk - Free Speech Guru

It's all propaganda says Elon Musk, while inviting Donald J Trump to reclaim his account telling him you can even name the account 'The REAL POTUS 46'.

From an article published in the New York Times, January 25, 2023 NYT

The documentary, “India: The Modi Question,” focuses on Mr. Modi’s role during Hindu-Muslim riots that tore through the state of Gujarat in 2002, when he was its chief minister. The deaths of a group of Hindu pilgrims in a fire at a railway station prompted a wave of mob violence in which about 1,000 people, most of them Muslims, were killed, and perhaps 150,000 uprooted.

Modi’s toady, Elon Musk has agreed to censor any mention of the BBC documentary critical of right wing Modi after direction from the Modi camp.

WTAF Elon?

When you acquired Twitter I seem to recall you spouting off about a “platform for free speech around the globe” that would allow almost all legal content, no matter how abhorrent.

Apparently Musk has found a way to monetize censorship.

I’m a cat, I’m instinctively and obstinately curious. I spoke with Musk’s version of Allen Weisselberg, the Trump CFO serving five months in Rikers.

Musk’s accountant asked we not use his name so let’s just call him Weisselberg 2.0 - Beta.

“Yeah - all of a sudden Mr. Musk started showing up with fistfuls of cash and dumping it on my desk. I’d ask where he got it and he told me to account for it under ‘Advertising Revenue’.

“So that’s what we did - but we needed an advertiser’s name to show the source. The first time it happened we credited it the Modi re-election campaign. And that’s how all this started. We’re selling non-exposure - a polite way of saying and monetizing censorship.

“A large contingent of Trump people are contributing vast sums of money to Elon for similar treatment. I don’t know how long this gravy train will run though. We are losing large numbers of our members who have deactivated their Twitter accounts and found other social media sites to patronize.

“I don’t know exactly how many we’ve lost, but it’s a lot. There’s a lot of competition out there - it seems like a new social media site pops up every day. We fired a lot of people, can’t pay our rent, he used to give us a new Tesla every year we worked for him.

“No more. I’m driving a two year old Tesla. It still runs okay but occasionally it starts up and drives around the neighborhood. By itself. A little creepy. The first time it happened I thought it had been stolen and reported it to the police.

“Have you any idea how embarrassing it was to call the cops after the car came home and tell them.

I’ve put it up for sale and drive a Prius now.

“Well, I’ve got to run - a group of us Twitter employees are getting together to watch the BBC documentary on Modi.”
