it's not hating to point out objectively bad decision making
For all his free speech talk, he sure does seem to want people paying for it
oh and attach all our personal information to our speech too
You know you're paying for every post/comment you make on SN, right? Nothing wrong with charging people for the platform he provides.
Yea, but SN is value for value. Twitter wants you to pay, but they don’t give something back. It’s a one way street.

It's not the payment necessarily that's the issue. I see how my original reply sounds that way, apologies.
It's the "for the people" branding while creating new problems to "solve" so he can essentially force people into what he wants that's not a good look.
If Twitter needs more revenue and payment is the only way that's gonna cut it, fine, just make it about that and not about something disingenuous
And on top of that, blocking public access to Tweets without an account is a TERRIBLE idea, especially if free speech really is his goal.

yes, paying to post, but not to consume. very different.

you do know if you stand in a public square screaming, everyone knows who you are....
they can see you, and may be able to point you out in a line-up. but do they know who you are?
unless you're wearing a mask

I think a lot of the animosity among bitcoiners goes back to his pushing of dogecoin a few years ago. He also seems to pretend to be principled at times, while ultimately standing for nothing but his own self interest. Other than that, he's a great guy.
Lmao
The guy is a censoring MACHINE
I don’t see it as hate; more like expressing a distaste for apparent narcissism and hypocrisy. His stance on political censorship is replacing it with his own censorship decided based on his whim.
Short answer: He is a grifter.
This is correct. Looking back it really puts a lot of his other ventures in a very different light!
Love what he stands for, but wrong execution, maybe a good learning experience though

This was just posted on another SN thread
As a SN and nostr only person, there's no difference to me between a blue-check and non-blue-check Twitter user. They're all Elon's bitch as far as I'm concerned.
I appreciate his stance on political censorship.
You mean his stance to do more censorship?

Why does everyone hate on Elon?
I've never really used twitter, but I appreciate his stance on political censorship.
