One of the crazier things that happened last night during the Thursday night
massacre is there was a Twitter spaces going on.
So this is a place where a bunch of people can join and they can talk things out.
And interestingly because Elon Musk has no idea what he's doing at Twitter.
People who had been banned that night were still able to go on to the spaces cuz
the code is just madness right now.
So they're banned, they can't post but they can go in the spaces.
So anyway, he decides to go into the spaces and fields questions,
it's technically plural.
A couple of questions before he stormed out in a huff.
Take a look at this.
>> You're suggesting that we're sharing your address, which is not not true.
And you're suggesting that we're posting, we never, I never posted your address.
>> You posted a link to the address.
>> We posted a link in the recourse of reporting about ElonJet,
we posted links to ElonJet which are now not online.
And now banned on Twitter and Twitter also, of course marks,
even the Instagram and Mastodon accounts of ElonJet as as harmful using,
we have to admit, acknowledge using the same exact link blocking technique
that you have criticized as part of the Hunter Biden New York Post story in 2020.
So what is different here and there?
>> It's no more acceptable for me, for you than it is for me, same thing.
So anyway, >> So it's unacceptable what you're doing?
>> No, your docs, you get suspended and the story, that's it.
>> I think Elon has has left.
>> And he had, and again, they pointed out how it wasn't doxing, you cannot say where
he specifically is based on either of his two different excuses he's come up with.
And so he just left, he just left and then the spaces left, that space and
all spaces had some big mysterious bug last night that shut them down.
They eventually came back on I guess, the whole thing again, super suspicious,
not convincing.
Look, he tried one of his other tactics to, so
he tried to win people over in the spaces, he couldn't defend what he was doing and
so he fled, so he decided to do what he normally does, which is do a Twitter poll,
which as we all know, is the most reputable sort of poll.
So he posted unsuspend accounts who doxed my exact location of real time,
which is again effectively a push pole, they didn't do that, but
unfortunately unsuspended now one.
Okay, so he did what you'd expect accepted the results.
No, wait, sorry, no, he posted, sorry.
Too many options will redo pole.
So too many options.
So I guess they sort of did a run off I suppose and then he again lost
in the two person poll, but you'll notice he didn't follow it.
Now I'm not saying there's not a hypothetical world where he wouldn't have
followed it, in any other result having won,
he would have followed it and said that that was the people speaking.
Well, the people spoke or the boat spoke or whatever happens on its center pole,
and he didn't accept it obviously.
He's a laughing stock to your point about him and Trump.
They're like in a lot of different ways, but
one of the big ones I think that is their downfall is they have no ability to
tell what information they're providing to people, when they act, when they speak.
They can't tell how much they're transparently projecting about their
wants, their desires, their fears, their insecurities.
We as thinking people can see all of it, everybody understands Elon musk
psychology but him like Trump they just, they don't know.
>> Yeah, because people can't see outside their own perspective.
So I mean again, that spaces conversation was embarrassing cuz the guy
says should you and I have the same standard and Elon Musk says yes and
he's like well then you should be bad, [LAUGH] right, gotta go.
And then he burns the whole spaces thing up and he's like okay,
we're not doing spaces anymore.
Like we can all see you Elon, >> It's not super clear what happened with
the spaces but they did go down, we don't know for
sure- >> By the way thing, it might not be that
he got embarrassed him running from the building is clear, right?
That part is Elon has left the building and taking his sanity along with it,
right.
In terms of whether space is being not working afterwards is related or not.
We're not sure about that, one where the fair show in America.
Two, also because there's tons of glitches on Twitter now,
glitches that I've never seen before.
Like I went to go retweet something and the retweet option wasn't there.
I've never seen that before.
And you know what, I think is happening.
Remember he fired like two thirds of the staff, eventually things stop working when
there are any, when there aren't any workers, that's kind of what happened.
So genius businessman can't do the basics of running a business.
So look to him running his incredible and cowardly, and it was hilarious to see.
But the polls so we all knew the polls are fake from day.
Well, first of all, they make no sense.
He said he wonder on Twitter, they're not scientific polls.
2, their on his account.
When I do a poll on my account, I'm asking my audience and all of my haters.
Okay, that's the subset of people who following me, right?
So the subset of people who follow Elon Musk are tons and tons of Nazi fans.
Okay, so yeah, I know there's regular people in there too.
Of course it's a giant following, but generally, his audience is massively right
wing, right, and here I'm gonna come back around again Ferris show in America and
say, hey the right wing and I've actually seen a mixed reaction.
I think he partly lost that poll because a lot of the right wing were like
we're banning people now based on the fact that we don't like them.
I'm gonna vote no, right?
So because all of his polls are like 98% right wing, so
that it makes the poll more absurd.
But even so we knew that if he ever lost a pole, he would never do it.
They were always fake, okay?
And he proved it spectacularly in this case.
But by the way,
the other part of the right wing is doing what John said earlier in the show.
Like yeah, it's not that we don't have principles.
It's just you guys did it first.
So we're about to ban anyone we like because we don't like them, okay?
Free speech is inconvenient and we hate it because you guys violated it first.
Whatever gets you through the night brother.
>> I know you are, but what am I kind of situations,
I mean the man is he's fragile.
He really is.
Poor little Elon Musk.
>> Yeah, it's not, it's not a principle if you did it first is all that it takes for
you to dispense with it.
It was convenient I guess.
It was like a shawl that you put on, it wasn't a principal at that point,
by the way, I want to run.
>> And by the way, no one did it first, like it wasn't like Jack Dorsey
who was running Twitter before the other random CEO in the middle,
we're like you know what?
Some right wingers hurt our feelings so we're gonna ban them.
No, they had general principles terms of service and
you might not agree with those whom you might say, I wanna be able to despise and
bully people who are trans, and they they didn't let me do that.
And the Nazis who were banned earlier, I despise Jews and
they I think they should be killed, Twitter didn't let me do that, but
there was a policy and they implemented the policy, there wasn't one person going.
He hurt my feelings, band him, I mean right now, you know who's running Twitter?
Geoffrey Burati.
>> Yeah, really fast just cuz it's fairly directly tied to this one right winger who
is attempting to differentiate themselves from the others and by the way,
it might be that the poll shows that a lot of right wingers did not agree with him.
And based on the replies that I've gotten,
they all except they were gonna murder his kid in 5 minutes.
He had to do it.
Like that is a very common sentiment, but
one of the two journalists reporting on the Twitter files.
Bari Weiss, tweeted, the old regime at Twitter governed by its own whims and
biases and it sure looks like the new regime has the same problem.
I oppose it in both cases.
And I think those journalists who are reporting on a story of public importance
should be reinstated.
So she is saying that they should be reinstated.
So that's good.
That's better than the vast majority of right wingers.
But she is also doing what many of them is doing, which is pretending that what
Elon Musk did is what happened under Twitter before Elon Musk, which is
laughable, it should be below anyone who tries to brand themselves an intellectual.
And the idea that you would differentiate yourself from the other Elon Musk
acolytes.
And then still both sides of the thing is is despicable, but
I guess it's better than some.
>> Definitely, that Trump is good people on both sides, that's what they're doing.
>> Yeah, and just right before we got on air, I think there was
a story about how Elon Musk is now lashing out at Bari Weiss.
>> Really, did you see that and
talk about- >> That's because he can't even take
a half agreement.
That hurts his feelings way too much.
By the way, Ben Shapiro, the guy who claims that facts don't care about
your feelings now defending Elon Musk feelings.
And then weirdly getting credit for it, cuz he did the same thing as Barry Weiss,
where he was like, now this is a serious national security issue and goddamn it,
you guys did it first.
I mean, but maybe we shouldn't abandon everybody.
Okay, no, no mealy mouth BS, no cookies for you.
Okay, grow some principles and then we'll have a conversation.
