DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus Elon Is At It Again....

What the hell is that nutjob thinking? Twitter or X or whatever seems to be a sinking ship, why add weight to it. I guess his ego is in charge.

Yes he is... Without a doubt.

But you know how it is. If you point out the things one of the wealthiest, and now that he has purchased Twitter, a man who controls a global social network does, somehow the equals "woe is me". Of course some would never speak out against the hateful speech he has opened back up on that platform, including his own antisemitism. Instead somehow it's the problem of those who do point it out. And a lot of us knows just what that means.

So Musk is now going to sue Media Matters for telling the truth. The false reality of the billionaire class rears its ugly head. Or is it using the power of that wealth to drive people bankrupt and apply pressure and force them to keeping quiet by using the advantage of their wealth to do so?

Musk: ‘Thermonuclear lawsuit’ coming for Media Matters, others after companies drop X ads

Tech billionaire Elon Musk said his company will file a massive suit against Media Matters for America and other organizations for a “fraudulent attack on our company.”

Musk’s threat comes after several companies began pulling ads from his X platform, formerly known as Twitter.

The wave of departures started Thursday after the billionaire owner engaged with antisemitic rhetoric on the platform. The same day, Media Matters — a liberal media watchdog group — published an investigation showing that major advertisers had their ads shown alongside white supremacist content.

Multiple major companies, including IBM, Lionsgate, Paramount, Apple and Disney said they are leaving X, formerly Twitter. The European Union will also halt advertising, it announced.

“The split second court opens on Monday, X Corp will be filing a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and ALL those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company,” Musk wrote on X.

A statement attached to his post alleges the Media Matters report “completely misrepresented the real user experience” on the platform in an attempt to “mislead advertisers.”

The company further claimed the group’s reporters curated an account to view white supremacist content and “repeatedly refreshed their feeds to find rare instances of ads” next to the content. Musk’s post added that of the 5.5 billion ad impressions on the site daily, just 50 were on the specific pieces of content highlighted by Media Matters in their report.

X has struggled for months with revenue after half of the company’s top advertisers left following Musk’s takeover in late 2022. Advertisers have been wary of the platform since he loosened content restrictions — open the door for more hateful content on the platform.

Musk has emphasized X as a “free speech platform,” which the company doubled down on in the statement Saturday.

“Without freedom of speech, we lose the checks and balances critical to a thriving democracy,” the company said. “We must defend our individual rights as if our lives, and flourishing society, depend on it.”

“If you’re really in on protecting free speech, then we all need to protect it completely,” the statement continued.

edia Matters derided the lawsuit threat in a statement Saturday.

“Far from the free speech advocate he claims to be, Musk is a bully who threatens meritless lawsuits in an attempt to silence reporting that he even confirmed is accurate,” president Angelo Carusone said. “Musk admitted the ads at issue ran alongside the pro-Nazi content we identified. If he does sue us, we will win.”

Yey …. for truth and freedom of speech ….until you say something stupid and hurt yourself. Then he’s gonna sue!? Lol for someone I used to think he was a genius in what he was accomplishing, is now acting like a self destructive teenager. Maybe brain damage of some sort. IDK

Well you know what they say about successful businessmen. That makes them qualified to be president. Musk 2028?

Thank you forefathers for not allowing Musk that privilege.

Musk was one of the early investors in Open AI.

He is the type of person that could make AI really dangerous.

It means Hitlerism is alive and well in America

Yeah, all those anti-sematic libtards stomping their feet and chanting pro-hamas chants.

I had no idea Tucker Calson and Elon were libtards.

Lol yeah Liberal Arts colleges. Kids protesting. And we got a degree for that in the 60’s.

It's odd how they have been ignoring white extremist hate groups for years. Ignoring white extremist mouth pieces in the media. They ignored "Jews will not replace us!" in Charlottesville. Nazi flags waved by trump supporters outside of Mia Largo. And now all of a sudden they're standing up for the Jewish people. Strange how that's all played out.

I remember a time we all could tell the difference between kids protesting on their campus for peace in Palestine and the Middle East vs American Nazi’s entered a city that they didn’t live in chanting jews will not replace us and violently rioting, armed with flag poles. clubs and running down counter protesters with a 3000 pound automobile killing one. Good people on both sides BS.

You think putting "Glory To Martyrs" on the side of buildings is peacefully protesting? They are chanting for the death of jews.

Why did you wait years and years for some college students to say these things before you decided to show any outrage over it? Right wing white supremacists have been doing this for many years now. Right wing media figures have been saying antisemitic things for years now. The KKK has been doing it for decades now. Yet not a peep from you on here about any of it. Suddenly you've found your voice?

That’s an American Nazi chant. A radical Muslim wish. And we’ve been ignoring them for years. Why the sudden enthusiasm towards students or other liberals doing the same? I agree it’s horrendous and I don’t agree with their sediments. But you do know, we have that free speech thingy called the first amendment.

I don't agree with the right fringe groups, but they are fringe groups. Not like the hundreds of thousands of anti-semetic protestors protesting every day and splattered all over the news every day. Why aren't you complaining about them? Where's your voice about these people chanting for the death of jews and elimination of Israel?

I have stated that I think anyone that calls for such things are wrong for many years now. But one thing you seem not to understand is that by and large they are protesting the senseless deaths of innocent Palestinian civilians.

So for the extremists on the fringe I am an agreement with you. For those protesting the senseless deaths of indiscriminate bombings that are causing thousands of unneeded deaths of Palestinian civilians I agree with them.

You see, I have for several years on this board spoke out against hateful and antisemitic rhetoric aimed towards the Jewish people. It seems as though you are just now becoming woke to the issue. But better late than never I always say.

You have 0 understanding of how long Elon has been involved with AI and what AI is.

Anyone who is not a Democrat to a Democrat is a Nazi. Thus, the Democrat is the Nazi.

Drink much?

j/c...

“Media Matters accessed accounts that had been active for at least 30 days, bypassing X’s ad filter for new users,” X’s lawsuit says. “Media Matters then exclusively followed a small subset of users consisting entirely of accounts in one of two categories: those known to produce extreme, fringe content, and accounts owned by X’s big-name advertisers. The end result was a feed precision-designed by Media Matters for a single purpose: to produce side-by-side ad/content placements that it could screenshot in an effort to alienate advertisers. But this activity still was not enough to create the pairings of advertisements and content that Media Matters aimed to produce.”

“Media Matters therefore resorted to endlessly scrolling and refreshing its unrepresentative, hand-selected feed, generating between 13 and 15 times more advertisements per hour than viewed by the average X user repeating this inauthentic activity until it finally received pages containing the result it wanted: controversial content next to X’s largest advertisers’ paid posts,” the lawsuit continued.

Media Matters has shown that it happens. Saying it doesn't happen often won't change that. Of course Elon is going to sue and make claims to the contrary. Haven't you been paying attention to how this works? The Nazi is the one who is supported a Nazi post on his own platform.

But it does. You see, what they did was to bypass a new user ad filter. So that means anyone who isn't a new user would see the same things. Secondly, if you want to see if and which ads appear on fringe posts, you follow those fringe posters. And scrolling and refreshing is what one does to get the results based on many clicks to see if these ads appear. This is just another twisted white noise tactic to excuse and undermine that fact that these advertisers risk their ads being presented with these fringe posts on a daily basis. And nothing in your post changes that.

But I would expect you to help stand up for excuses to the contrary.

No Pit, that is not what it means at all. You're entirely misunderstanding what's going on here. The manipulation of pages to basically 'invent' something that would never happen under normal circumstances, then represent it as something that is normal and recurring is 100% defamation.

They will lose in a court of law.

When did they say "it's normal"? I haven't seen that. They certainly didn't "invent" anything. While it may not happen with frequency it does happen and companies take that risk when they advertise there. As far as I know they have made no claim to the contrary. I see that's "the claim" being made by Musk but I have not seen anything that supports that claim.


Billionaires don't always win in court. As a matter of fact we've witnessed one lose over and over and over again.

Those fearing Elon for AI should. His AI grok or whatever it’s called is just a redneck racist AI with few safety barriers. I used to love the guy but he’s full on fascist these days. Would have loved to see Zuck stomp mud hole in his ass.

Elon has been among one of the larger investors and founders of AI in the last 20 years. Tesla, OpenAI etc etc.

Elon has been begging for government regulation of AI not the opposite. Companies like Google, OpenAI, and Facebook do not want regulation.

One day that quote will make sense.

Man stop it. Elon has been talking out of both sides of his mouth. He “warns” the world about AI while actively developing it. Elon wants regulations on AI that same way he claimed he’s all about free speech.

And we know how that’s currently going. Man’s bought a social media platform and started banning people left and right cause his feelings got hurt.

Stop licking dudes boots.

He's definitely whimsical. There seems to be a pattern amongst billionaires, from the Kochs and Soros, to Musk and Zuckerberg, which is "We need to have equal rights and footing for all, but I get to decide what that means and how it applies."

Irony.

US signs onto AI safety accord

In an historic move, the U.S. and 17 other nations have signed onto the first-ever international AI safety agreement. The 20-page document outlines some general recommendations — such as vetting potential software suppliers — and encourages companies to make their AI systems "secure by design," to protect the public from bad actors. Like many recent government actions on AI, including the Biden administration's October executive order, the agreement is nonbinding and does not specify penalties for noncompliance. The U.K., Germany, Italy and Nigeria are among the signatories.

Where’s the irony?

This is a good thing that government did, which has nothing to do with Elon.

Unless you’re giving him credit for this?

He helped fuel where we are now.

So again, here’s the problem:

Elon Musk says AI will eventually create a situation where ‘no job is needed’

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/02/tes...te-situation-where-no-job-is-needed.html

So you keep simping for a dude who constantly contradicts himself. For every article that Elon warns of something, there’s another showing him engaging in the very thing he’s warning people over. I’m struggling to understand how you can blatantly ignore the the facts that this guy is trying to ‘warn’ people about the crapes trying to pull off. He says one thing and does another. If AI is such a threat, why is he continuing to make it worse? He was supposed to champion free speech, yet bans people who hurts his feelings. I’m guessing you ignored that too.

Like seriously SBD, if I told you street racing was bad while simultaneously developing tech to make street racing more popular, you wouldn’t see anything wrong with that?

Don’t you conservatives clown politicians and other elites for warning about climate change while they fly around in their private jets?

But somehow Elon gets a pass. Sorry bro but this is pathetic. I really don’t get you guys boot licking these billionaires who want to screw you over. Gotta be some sort of fetish on the right.
