Such perception.

I just had a face palm moment. After 15 years, my (Twitter) X account was closed.

Now I have a clue why.

I was there through much noise for 15 years. Musk purchase was a big improvement.

But I got blind sided 2-3 weeks ago. Long story, not here.

I put it to good use, but this is a question of motives.

My old screen name was @TX_1

I don’t use Twitter/X or anything like it; so I don’t really understand this.

But can someone tell me how Musk doing this is different from the previous Twitter outfit doing similar to censor opinion?

Once again CTH jumps the shark for clicks.

I decided to check the “for you” tab on X today, I rarely do. It is clear Musk is gaming it, which is understandable, but he is far from a free speech absolutist like he says.

The H1-B program should be reserved for people who would address an important shortfall of domestic expertise.

There is some degree of fraud and considerable incompetence in every government program and H1-B is no exception.

That fraud and incompetence need to be fixed throughout the government.โ€” Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 27, 2024



What's the problem?

Musk just sent out a reminder that the more people that mute you the less people will see of you.

I don’t see anything about any change.

Well, it would have been better after all, I suppose, if Heels-Up had been elected.

Should anyone be surprised if those who think they can, will try. They have to be stopped, that’s all.

Nothing like memory holing one’s vocal opponent when one gains enough power to do so.

99% of H1B Indians in the USA are NOT filling critical skill gaps. They are just replacing American workers and voting for Democrats, period.

That is a stupid statement.

I have NOTHING to do with The Conservative Treehouse, except I have read it as long as it has been around.

I remember back in the Sipsey Street Irregulars days.

He does not need clicks, I get absolutely nothing for posting this. I thought this article was important enough that I posted it in full.

Exactly. What CTH is claiming is not what Musk said.

I expect the reality to come out shortly.

This is an overblown early and conspiratorial explanation.

It is not necessarily false, but other explanations seem more likely.

No difference. It was always a con.

“Your culture prizes mediocrity, your parents raised you poorly.”

More accurately would be to say: The media has praised mediacracy and punished meritocracy. The public education system has failed the country.

It's not any different, even if there are actual good intentions behind it this time.

It seems since the election, Sundance is never happy.
