LMFAO... Elon bans the word "decolonization." Liberals cry, "but that's the thing we learned about to get our Master's Degree and PhDs!"

He is pointing something out. Now people are talking about it.
Very nice.
Ban all left wing words, that only they use.
Yet, that's not what he's doing. This headline is spin, that's all.
Banning words and expressions, that's what Marxists and totalitarians do. But banning certain forms of behavior, that's not only acceptable, its necessary for any society that lives by the rule of law.
I love pissing off commie fags.
WTF is a lefty?
The Resident Decolons often and the Secret Service are most annoyed about it.
Fuck off, unban all words, idc about this stupid shit, you are continuing the bullshit Elon
Maybe a little context helps?

Later, Musk quoted himself the above tweet, and then elaborated:
Later on, he reinforced his view:
Understanding is better than reacting. Sadly, Cats didn't seem to consider the negative impacts of sharing a fake headline without proper context, essentially perpetuating the narrative spin of certain Musk haters. IMO.
The only conclusion is that 'Elon bans "'decolonization" ' is narrative spin. Spin and narrative formation by those who don't like his position. What he is saying is that calls for extreme violence, such as "murder all Jews" or "Murder all Palestinians" etc, contravene the X terms of service.
Seems to me he is not "banning" any word or term, but rather, is calling a spade a spade (I guess that's open to interpretation, but from Elon's viewpoint) and he's saying X doesn't allow posts of that kind.
As an international open speech platform - on its way towards that - there have to be standards. Not ideological ones, as with the case of Twitter #1, but standards nonetheless. Calls for murder, death, etc, and in this case, genocide, violate the X terms.
I'm 100% against the "banning of words", but is that what this is? I'd say no. That's the spin that those who hate Musk want to put on it.
What about Truth Social? Standards/ How about GAW? Standards? Standards is NOT the same as banning words. It is about banning behavior.
Good take. I needed the context as I'm not one to favor banning anything but this makes sense
Yeesh. Thanks for clearing that up... I got rage-baited 😔
There's lots of that going around these days! A veritable epidemic.
Not many think he's that good a guy, but is, in fact, just doing good things.
You've missed the mark in order to tear down a person.
Yeah, the focus on if someone is a "good guy" or "bad guy" is the next door cousin to idol worship: affixing on a person or object because it represents something the worshiper desires, or anti-desires (abhors?)
Objective observation of the impact of people's actions and interactions on the macro, on the narrative war, and on the direction of society, these are more realistic and productive than fixation on the person.
People like DJT, for example, have earned the respect, love and support of kazillions by their actions and deeds, which is what the DJT-haters all choose to ignore, and they characterize that support and respect, etc, as idol worship because that is what they themselves do. (IMO)
Please read the comment to this post by u/FractalizingIron earlier to understand what this post is about. Once again you have misunderstood because of lack of context.
I'm glad you could share your view. We don't need to agree on everything, and being able to express one's view is critical to free thought and free exchange of ideas.
