Yeah it’s hit a point where I don’t even click on Twitter links anymore. If I wanted to see a bunch of bigots pushed to top of every single popular tweet I’d just use gab
it’s kind of amazing just how true it is that anybody with a blue checkmark is basically a reactionary now. i have never seen someone sporting the mark with good takes anywhere on the site since it became cringe to have one, so the effect of promoting their replies is making the site completely unusable if you aren’t a sickeningly hateful person
The (arguably) richest guy in the world is starting pride month by stating he will financially bankroll the trans genocide attempt. This seems potentially much more dangerous than even elected officials like DeSantis becoming president, as Elon can theoretically just buy a group of politicians to carry out his vision. Not just in the USA either, anywhere where politicians can be bought is at risk of this ideology being exported to their nations. Am I wrong here? This seems like a massive risk for the trans community.

The fact that this creep’s daughter is trans makes him one of the worst parents in the world. Like, how the fuck can you possibly be such a bad dad?
It was only a matter of time before he said something like this, he’s been going harder and harder right since he bought twitter.
Elon musk is a piece of shit
This guy is becoming more and more dislikable every day.
I think he is well past the point of just “dislikable”, the guy is just straight up malicious
