Twitter Elon Musk reached his limit with U.S. House Rep Adam Schiff (D-CA) and publicly scolded the Dem Rep from California today after Adam claimed that “hate speech” was up on Twitter.

Somehow, the article's order of paragraphs is garbled, and a lonng letter from Schiff is placed after Musk's response, giving the impression that it is a reply to his tweet.

what Musk doesn’t understand is democrats have a completely different idea of what is “hate” speech..

calling Shift for brains, what I just called him is “hate speech” in his pea brain. Calling Musk or conservatives literally hitler is not.

“Slurs against Jewish people are up 61%. And slurs against gay men are up 58%.”

That fits him to a T. That’s why he’s so concerned. I notice he never seemed upset about all the threats against Christians and white people.

So “slurs” against Jewish people are a problem?
Should there be a law requiring everyone to love them?

Why? Is there a law requiring everyone to love Catholics?
How about Moonies? How about Mormons?

Good reply, short and concise.

But ‘false’ isn’t really strong enough, IMO.

The “stats” quoted by Schiff come from a far left British group funded by the CCP.

Schiff wrote: we are reaching out to you to understand the actions Twitter is taking to combat this increase in harmful content.

I thought that people who didn’t like what was being shown should simply change the channel?

If it weren’t for double standards...

Nobody said that. Are you losing your eyesight due to excessive wankery, or did you forget how to read?

Slur away, imho. Let it all out in the open. We’ll know who they are if they use their real names, and answer them back and/or shun them, and life will go on.

I love when Congress spouts it’s “oversight” obligation.

They have oversight of government, not Musks private company. These morons don’t even understand their own jobs.
