“Fails” to me suggests Elmo tried but did not succeed. I would use language more like “hate speech is deliberately being allowed on Elon’s social dumpster fire”, personally.
I’m sure they were trying r e a l l y hard …
I’m not sure they were trying…
Are you kidding? Apartheid Edgelord is trying! VERY trying!
(We're using the same sense of "trying" here, right?)
That's the joke
Maybe people should quit using Twitter.
I did. It's hard not to be bias (as I'm not a fan of Musk in the first place) but I'm certain Twitter got worse after his opulent acquisition of it.
It absolutely did.
I’m all for eliminating hate speech but is the hate speech we’re talking about here just people saying, “what Israel is doing to Palestinians is genocide” or “Israel and it’s allies are in direct violation of the Geneva convention”?
I absolutely despise fElon Musk but if so, that’s not hate speech. That’s an ethno-state intentionally conflating dissent with hate speech in order to get away with an ethnic cleansing.
edit: this is indeed what this article is referring to in some cases. I know for a fact that that’s the case because they didn’t even cite a single tweet. Anti-semitism is a hate crime, calling out an ethnic cleansing is not.
Maybe they 'failed' because Elon agrees with them.

But muh freeze peach!
Issue is, Elon Musk has a lot to gain by allowing hate speech on his platform.
There's a strong correlation between hate speech and wanting to give corporations both tax breaks and absolute power.
