X is Neither a Truth nor Quality Seeking Platform

All right, here I am heading out again. Heading to a little market, get a few things in my truck. Thought it would be an okay time to do one of my videos. This is something that’s been on my mind for a while.

Think back to when Elon bought Twitter. A lot of people hated that. They loved the leftist slant on Twitter. They loved that the FBI was literally daily involved in telling Twitter what posts to take down or throttle. It was complete and utter government censorship, if you remember back.

As soon as Elon bought it and said fuck you, and hired a couple of journalists to dig into what became known as the Twitter Files—which showed unequivocally that the U.S. government was censoring U.S. citizens for speaking out about what they don’t like, particularly election interference and the fucking kill jabs, the batches of mRNA vaccines that Moderna and Pfizer put out there to find out which formulations in different batches would kill people—yeah, an experiment on humans. And yet nobody has ever gone to jail for that. Which is a shit stain on this Trump 2.0 administration and the FBI and the CIA and the Justice Department. All of them. They have still not prosecuted and put in jail one single person for that.

I’m not a big fan of this administration anymore. It’s all this bullshit. “Okay, let’s create a new East Wing of the White House and let’s change the reflecting pool.” How about putting fucking people in jail who tried to destroy this country? There are thousands who ought to be rotting in jail right now. Yet this Trump administration does nothing about it. Nothing.

And Bobby Kennedy, he’s kind of worthless too. It’s all “okay, let’s change this, change that.” How about go back and prosecute and put people in jail who killed people by the thousands? And how about the pharmaceutical companies? There’s no pharmaceutical company where the CEO does not belong in jail with all of his assets stripped. Not one. Not one.

Same old, same old, same old thing.

Anyway. Also with Elon buying Twitter. He’s like, okay, this is gonna be free speech. All that really meant was we’ll allow the right to have their say too. I never wanted them to shut down the left. Level playing field for both is okay. Somewhat okay.

But then what happens? Elon starts bellyaching about advertising pulling their ads, which causes strain on Twitter’s operating costs and expenses and profit. Elon’s bellyaching about that. But what happened behind the scenes? I don’t really know. Nobody can know for sure. But it seems apparent to me that Twitter—X now—created rules that essentially accomplished the same fucking thing.

Look at what gets promoted and what doesn’t. It’s all mindless bullshit. “Controversial speech.” “Sensitive content.”

I had a long discussion with Grok about this just a few weeks ago. It was very honest and frank. Basically said X does not give a shit about quality of content. They have all these tools to make quality content, quality images, an editor. X doesn’t give a fuck.

You know what X gives a fuck about? Some cunt like Tara Bell with hundreds of thousands or a million followers, reposting something with a quote saying “What do you think about that?” and getting thousands of fucking brain-dead morons offering their opinion. Because that is what gets eyeballs. That is all X cares about: eyeballs and ad revenue.

It is not a truth-seeking platform at all. It is not a quality-seeking platform at all. None of that. It is a revenue-seeking platform. That is all that X is. It’s crap. It’s shit. Just like Facebook is. Same. No difference. No difference in either of them. It’s just crap and shit.

And Elon should be ashamed of himself. If he was a true philanthropist, he ought to say okay, I got all these other things. They’re all great. I agree. Great. I love them. Space X, Tesla, the robotics, the Boring Company, Neuralink, Starlink, all this stuff. It’s fucking amazing.

But in terms of X, he’s a fucking shit. It’s a shit platform. It reeks of shit. It reeks of shit.

You look at people who do very high-quality posts with an image and everything and good writing. Almost no engagement. You look at a cunt like Tara Bell and all these others who have hundreds of thousands or millions of followers who do a three-word post and get tons of engagement. Tons and tons of engagement.

That is fucked up, Elon. That is completely fucked up.

All right. Rant over.

    The good thing about X is that it is free speech, a lot better than Twitter. Of course, free speech is going to be messy.

    What you don’t understand about COVID is that it was all legal. I agree that they should be locked up but that will never happen because they are protected by the law. Of course, those laws need to be repealed, but I don’t hear a lot of push about that. I think Rand Paul might be doing something in that area. Nevertheless, I think Fauci could be tried for crimes committed before his pardon. Yes, those pardons are all BS, not sure why they haven’t been revoked.

      I think there was plenty of illegality and fraud.

        Yes, there’s plenty to go around on all sides. Until we get rid of the uniparty system, nothing is going to change.
