Elon’s meltdown is going to cost him…

Well…with the Thursday night massacre at twitter where ole elon started to permanently block a bunch of journalists including Keith Olbermann for some pissy little reason, the thin skinned moron is going to pay for that in the UK where regulators are already readying fines since it is against the law to do that there…and it is just what I talked about a couple of weeks back when I noted that facebook just paid a 250 million dollar fine for running afoul of the content moderation laws there and this could cost elon at least that and maybe more…and the whole thing started when elon blocked a teenagers account on twitter that followed where his private jet was at any time….and then it escalated when reporters started calling elon on it and posting links to instructions how to set up an account on Mastodon…so then he blocked any account that mentioned Mastodon…oh, and do yourself a favor…go over and set up an account on Mastodon…no ads, no right wing crazies, and no elon…and lots of nice people….so in addition to losing a lot of his ad revenue, elon is going to be on the hook for big fines in both the UK and EU…can’t happen to a bigger moron….

Signed up for Mastodon today…

Well…as you all probably know, Elon Musk bought twitter and is doing his best to destroy it by letting racist right wing bullshit to flood the site…and firing almost everyone who worked there…including all of the content moderators who made sure there wasn’t the fascist crap that dominates some sites out there…so lots of the people I follow have been searching for a new social media site that won’t allow the right wing bullshit to pollute it…and lots of them have migrated to Mastodon so I signed up for an account earlier today and that’s why I’m late getting to this one today…damn, the last thing I wanted to do was to learn how to run a new platform but the deterioration that I saw in twitter left me no choice…and with ole elon today blocking anyone who disagrees with him…and that means any one on the left who criticizes his repub cronies…so I guess I’ll dig deep and learn a new site…maybe it will give me something to do…who knows? At the very least, I don’t want to support anything elon anymore…we don’t need more billionaire assholes ruining this country…
