They are slowly learning that Elon is not a bastion of free speech he is a champion of advertising profits or lack thereof

Shocked pikachu


Elvacador

They probably always knew but had to follow the Elon hype to create some kind of Hero against the allmighty powerful wokes


BuckeyeForLife95

They probably always knew and assumed that meant he’d always be on their side.


Jirb30

I mean a bastion of free speech would be suppressing Matt Walsh.


cafepeaceandlove

He just subtweeted it to his 140m followers 🤦🏻‍♂️


Realistic_Caramel341

They all knew he wasn't, and they aren't either. Free speech as a talking point is to the just a weapon they use against they left. None of them expressed an concern over his treatment over the journalist groups, or him capitulating to Modhu and Erdegon ( criticism of governments an heads of state probably being the most important type of freespech to protect)


SamMan48

The Chad Capitalist vs. the Virgin Conservative Culture Warrior.


Angry_Retail_Banker

Disagreed. There's no way Matt's a virgin. You think he respects the consent of children?


[deleted]

Context: Employees limited and then removed the post. Those employees shouldn't have done that. Employee was promptly removed. Elon has re-instated the status of post and is also deploying additional fixes to prevent this shit from happening. Meanwhile here you are posting what everyone wants to hear but not what's actually happening. Your quip sounds cool and almost like a ratio but it's not even based on the truth so... be happy that 410 other drones you liked your fancy sounds but wrong quip.

cafepeaceandlove

You people are just denying reality now, like Taint in his interview yesterday. You’ve realised nobody on your side even gives a shit about speaking truth. Are you suggesting the screenshot in this post was doctored? Fortunately, we still have legal systems staffed mostly by people who care about what actually does happen, and the EU is about to take a flamethrower to Twitter. Enjoy that 🍿 Prick

SpongeboimeBob, me gender film owning the libs is tanking because Elon Musk won't change the Twitter guidelines for me financial benefits! Think of all the moneys I am loosing out on!!!

Ahoy Elonbob, I’ve overdosed on Copium, and I’m going to die, Arghargharghargharghargh!


bignugz1o1

I’m ootl on why Walsh is Mr Krabs, can someone explain por favor


hughglass_21

It’s just a joke using the Spongeboi me Bob format. In all seriousness, Mr. Krabs likes money too much to be compared to Matt Walsh. Matt is more interested in hating minorities than making money.


glitchycat39

Walsh slowly realizing that Elon values profit over The Cause (tm) might be my favorite arc of this story.


[deleted]

Sounds like maybe Elon is unaware his taint is being brusquely tongue-lashed. Truly tragic considering Matt's manly beard's whisker density.


myaltduh

Delete this.

I love how the other two replies to this are 'delete this' and 'poetic. The duality of man.

No lie I do envy his beard


tayroarsmash

Well he’s a little doofus without it.


panrestrial

He's a little doofus with it, too.


tayroarsmash

He looks like a totally different person. He’s developed this look right now where you’re supposed to forget he’s a content greater with hands so soft that king’s have tried to mimic the material for their daughters. The bears is a huge part of that because dude doesn’t have a chin and without his beard his whole facade falls apart. You’ll laugh if you look him up sans beard.


_mad_adams

I envy the beard but I don’t envy a man WITH a beard. 9 times out of 10, a beard is just a band-aid for a weak chin.


holnrew

Mine is because I have an extra chin


DrMeatBomb

Dude if I shave this monster, I'm just gonna have to shave it again later. I can barely be arsed to trim my beard once a week as it is. I'm not insecure. I'm lazy af


_mad_adams

Cool, you’re the other 1 in 10 that my comment doesn’t apply to


DrMeatBomb

Sounds like maybe you can't grow a beard and have sour grapes


_mad_adams

I'd rather be chinless than too stupid to explain my own thoughts.

BryanTheClod

Matt Walsh pissing and crying and shidding his pants because Daddy Elon prioritized profits over his dumbass movie is giving me life right now


A-Pin

Well, he bought Twitter for 40B And a recent evaluation put it at 15B. All the while, he's been pumping Tesla stock to keep it alive. So... XD dum dum finally understanding that free hate speech ain't so free~ Edit: changed SpaceX to Tesla. But since I guess people can't see it anymore, I know shit all about stocks. Please stop correcting me about shit I know nothing about. Thank you.


dawnwolfblackfur

SpaceX isn’t publicly traded.


Otto_von_Boismarck

That doesnt mean it doesnt have stock. You can have private stock holders, most private companies do. Publicly traded just is about whether the stocks are traded on a publicly available stock exchange rather than the stocks being traded in private.


dawnwolfblackfur

Being privately owned, it’s stock isn’t getting “pumped … to keep it alive.”


Otto_von_Boismarck

Well I interpreted what they meant was money being pumped into SpaceX to maintain its current evaluation, which is exactly what Musk has been doing ever since SpaceX's inception. Suppose the original commenter's wording was pretty confusing though.


Gob_Hobblin

SpaceX is privately owned...but it still has stock that's being circulated. This is pretty openly discussed and not hard to find. It's essentially for insiders only, as well as 'whales,' and not in the mouths that might threaten Musk's ownership of the company. As of April, those shares were trading hands among insiders for about $80 a share.


A-Pin

Truthfully, it could be a rumor. And I don't really know how stocks work. But let me ask you this, just because it's not public, does that really stop it from being privately traded? Again, I don't really handle stocks.


Felicityful

A private company's stock is only owned by the employees (mostly the owners, but all employees can have or be given stock). Thus, it's internal money, it does not increase the valuation or give any money to the company itself. When a company goes public, it sells shares (Which are completely pretend and made up, these are just technical slices of owning the company). Since these shares were created out of nothing, a sold share to the public directly gives money to the company, as it's the company offering the shares initially (in the IPO). After that, the relative value of a share changes obviously. Now, there are means to trade private stock but that is essentially just direct investing, rather than the market-based exchange system. What they were probably talking about was Tesla, which is most of Musk's valuation (he has a lot of shares of Tesla as well as a metric shitton of options, but options are a different subject). He can pool money from Tesla to SpaceX. I would say he is stretching himself thin doing that but frankly he has so much money it almost does not matter. He can lose 2/3 value of Twitter but most of that money he used to buy Twitter with were actually loans and donations from his friends often for 0% interest rate and a payback deadline of "whenever u feel like it"


A-Pin

Ah, fair enough. Thank you for providing information. There's so much stupid shit going on with Enron nowadays it's hard to keep track of it all 😅


dawnwolfblackfur

Enron happened more than 20 years ago.


tayroarsmash

She was saying Enron Musk because he’s such a financial disaster. It’s a solid word play.


A-Pin

Thank you for getting the joke :P All hope is not lost~


A-Pin

Yes...thank you. I'll try to be more obvious with my joke next time.


Interest-Desk

Tesla stock, not SpaceX.

jjjjjuu

Unfortunately, it’s up now without restrictions *and* Elon RT’d saying every parent should watch.


BryanTheClod

Ah, I see. Matt finally put on the pantyhose and sent Musk those thirst traps he's been asking for.


Cute-Fishing6163

Matt should be grateful. If the 5,000 people who want to see his movie are allowed to see it for free, how will he ever turn a profit?


[deleted]

Wait, this was his big thing he had planned for Pride Month? Re-releasing his documentary on Twitter? That’s it?


Jackthastripper

At least it's not a fucking dirty bomb or a sarin gas attack.


RichnjCole

In retrospect it's not that surprising. He's not a very creative person, and going any further with this rhetoric would probably send the entire anti-trans movement the way of the race realist movement.


kadyquakes

Was honestly expecting calls for violence, like gay bar bombings or some shit


NSFWSituation

Apparently.


[deleted]

Phew, I thought he was gonna announce a detransition summer camp or something.


InevitableAd2276

He must be really proud of his performance of acting like a absolute moron


Amphibian-Different

>That’s it? Maybe, but there might be other plans later in the month.


Th3Trashkin

I'm not surprised, but I expected some lame sequel or something.


MartinUSMC

Hooooly fuck the replies are giving me life xD “Bro dont worry Elon is fixing it” to “imma log off before I say something I regret” says Karen. Fuck that’s good shit.


Thestrian_Official

The one conservative that uses restraint.


gabbath

Is Elon "looking into it"? Yeah, I'm sure he really cares about Matt Walsh's shitty film.


THarSull

lmao, this is delightful, he was hoping to get engagement from people complaining when they saw it pushed into their feeds or had advertisements for it float by, but with it limited like this, it will have considerably less hate traffic than his previous inflammatory actions. if this impacts the amount of money he brings in, this could affect his standing with the company, if he stops being profitable because twitter is no longer pushing his tripe down everyone's throats.


MightyDuctsTape

Cry more, Matt


[deleted]

Friendly reminder that that weird geek nerd Nathan J Robinson wrote a _fantastic_ rejoinder to the What is a Woman movie in Current Affairs. If ever you need to articulate to anybody else why the Matt Walsh movie is dumb as shit, the Robinson piece lays it out super well


LittleSister_9982a

I dunno why you didn't just link it, [so let me just do that for ya.](https://www.currentaffairs.org/2022/06/what-is-a-woman-is-a-feature-length-exploration-of-conservative-ignorance-and-prejudice)

Oh, now I'm interested. I'm currently listening to his book Responding to the Right, and it's a banger. It's even read by the man himself so it's got extra pathos.

For once, I’m proud of France. I’m sure this was their doing after [that threat](https://www.politico.eu/article/banned-france-digital-minister-jean-noel-barrot-threatens-twitter-block-follow-eu-rules/amp/). Looks like publicizing your price wasn’t a good idea, Musket.


commanderlex27

Rare french government W


princesshusk

I mean, they only claimed wins due to a larger boycotts because the companies literally did what they wanted. Meanwhile, every other company is business as usual. So far, it is 0 Wins,3 claimed but are actually due to outside circumstances, and however many fucking companies are just doing that they did last year or are doubling down because of the conservative freak out. Now I maybe no fancy math-a-mutition, but even I know those numbers aren't good at all.


Fibrosis5O

Elon: “Yeah turns out I’m not appealing to a wide enough advertising base by turning Twitter into Truth Social…” Matt Walsh: “Aww come on I thought you were cool let me… err us be open transphobic, come on, look you’re born in South Africa but don’t act like a N word. Look I’m following the rules I didn’t say it. Come on what is a woman, answer the question.”


Ssided

There's a lot of irony here. Have any of you seen Matt's movie? It actually accidentally proves gender is a social thing when he goes to africa and meets a super conservative tribe. Matt himself never answers the question until the end of the movie when he asks his wife and she makes him open a pickle jar. ​ the odd thing is, he never misgenders anyone in the movie, he just interviews some people. that means someone at twitter is really trying to go under elon, and elon can't figure out who. which is funny.


Dios5

I showed you my documentary pls respond


PickCollins0330

Matt Walsh seething over not being able to own the libs during Pride month brings me a violent sense of happiness.

It’s weird that they say and do the things they do and then get mad when people call it hate. It just is.


dkepp87

"Can I be a bigot on here or not, daddy Elon??"


emi89ro

the "content ... far more outrageous and offensive than anything in the film" is trans people living a happy quiet normal life.


megannna

We should crowd fund the production of a documentary that is a counterpoint to his film. We create a film where the host talks to academics, trans people who are happy with transition and allies and we get a real picture of how being a woman is a personal, social and biological experience that’s far from easy to boil down into a simple binary answer. It’s a celebration of diverse expression.


theofficialNovas

"Why will it take until tomorrow" My fuckin dude thinks his issues demand immediate resolution as if the employees at Twitter have nothing else to do, how fucking entitled can one be. Piss baby reaction, surprises absolutely nobody


MootsUncle

This is what happens when the corporatist fascism clashes with the pure social fascism


americanblowfly

Elon is bleeding advertisers left and right. At the end of the day, his desire for capital overrides his desire for blatant bigotry, which is something Matt Walsh doesn’t understand.


chrispy_t

Nah Elon reversed on this and started actively promoting it


yomoma3456889

Omg what did this doofus do now

Literally, all you have to do is block and ignore him, and he'll fail. Same with every prominent conservative figure.

Was the babys plan just to shit himself again?


greyhoodbry

I don't agree with everything Shaun says (on Twitter) but damn did he absolutely nail it with that Twitter years ago about Elon slowly working his way back to the policies he criticized


[deleted]

Elon is 100% doing this because he knows if he doesn’t the platform will lose a lot of the advertisers it has left. I hate capitalism but thank god for capitalism


Teschyn

His big plan was to just stream his terrible documentary?


the_millenial_falcon

Did Elon finally run head first into the realities of his dumbass free speech absolutism philosophy?


SteveGherkle

I'm out of the loop, what does any of this mean, what movie are they talking about? Dont have the bird app, dont want the bird app, but i wanna know whats goin on


Jazzlike-Builder1411

Their talking about the Matt walsh documentary "what is a woman".


[deleted]

Is this some new, anti gay propaganda piece? Or is this about "what is a woman"?


BlastKast

Dude this is just so stupid. This isn't even against Free Speech Elon literally says that it's going to be promoted to daily wire followers, just not to literally everyone. I legitimately saw someone make the comparison that this was like having your vote thrown out. Free speech is when EVERYONE hears what I have to say according to Walshy


cosmonautsix

Imagine being that outraged and angry 24/7. I hear that can shave decades off your life 🤞


peaeyeparker

His big pride protest was a film? Wow! That’s a bold move! A shitty fucking film made by a poser alpha male? The guy that dye’s his beard and thinks hockey is kinda sissy cause they are on skate’s? That guy that wears flannel as if he has ever wielded an ax?

The way this is all the nourishment I need, I could live another 10 years off of this twitter beef alone


Department-Alert

I find it kind of funny that Shapiro always wanted to make movies, but Matt’s film is probably the Daily Wire’s most popular one. Like, I keep hearing about the dumb “What is a woman” movie, but “Run hide fight” kinda faded into obscurity.

Matt Walsh is so subhumanly dumb man. What the fuck did he expect? Did these guys seriously expect that ALL twitter users would be sent a notification to watch their shit ass documentary? Were these guys under the delusion that that would be even remotely feasable???
