    Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, Jim Jordan, McCarthy, Dinesh D’Souza, Donald Trump, Jordan Peterson, “endwokeness” - wonderful influences for a fucked up man-child.

      I would assume that they retain the data and are just hiding it from public view. That way they can fulfill one of their organizational goals, trying to prevent useful or accurate information from reaching the public, but still have the ability to respond to a subpoena.

        Also, it had to actually be evidence of a crime. Following Elon may be a bad-look association but it’s not likely related to any crimes

        You might be right, but trying to apply logic and reason to Musk’s behavior is always a gamble.

      I used to work for a company with a product for putting a legal hold on people’s accounts. It archived the data off to a safe place, with a signature so you can tell it wasn’t tampered with. By default, it kept things six months, but as soon as it ran, you’re free to delete the public copy

      Every social media for as long as I can remember removes the profiles of mass shooters. Youtube does it, twitter used to do it, facebook does it, etc. Do you really think the fbi wouldn’t be able to get the data because an account was removed from the platform? use your brain people

      They know they have to stay mask on, no matter what.

      They tried the whole “haha, we were nazis all along!” thing with the tiki torches and Unite the Right rally. They lost their jobs, families and the platform they’d built out of plausible deniability.

      You could catch them dressed as Hitler, with a hand written copy of Elders of Zion, in the middle of lynching a jew, and they’d still claim “the left just calls everyone who disagrees with them a Nazi”.

      Same reason he skipped out of South Africa before the SADF conscripted him into the Apartheid war machine… him and his ilk believe the dirty and bloody work is beneath them.

      “Terrorists” are the bad guys, you want “freedom fighters” (fighting for your freedoms, of course).

      that scene from The Boys when the guy gets radicalized through online and TV sources to ultimately end up killing someone only for the exact people who encouraged that shit to distance themselves from the situation rapidly is so well done and probably flew right fucking over the head of most republican voters who watch that show

      We call them Mainers here in Maine. There’s thousands of them. My only hope is they’re rethinking basing their personality off hate. I doubt it though.

      Its hard to touch billionaires until they are directly involved. Example-trump otherwise nothing going to happen, his lawyers will deal with it. He won’t even know that FBI knocked on his door.

          i’m saying it is not atypical by any means for a social media platform to remove profiles of mass shooters. for as long as I can remember, every single time it happens and their social media is found, and it’s subsequently removed. i know this sub is dedicated to hating Musk but you just look stupid when you spin narratives like this. People in this thread are calling for his arrest over it saying that he’s hiding evidence of a crime.

            Facebook does the same thing, and it doesn’t hide evidence because banning someone’s account doesn’t remove their profile’s data. It’s still there for foi requests, warrants, and subpoenas. These social media companies aren’t gonna host a mass shooter’s profile. It’s like how they banned Trump, that wasn’t “hiding evidence,” and it’s likely if you hate Elon you were also loving that Twitter banned Trump.

            Arguably analyzing such profiles would likely show that nearly all nowadays are at least in part radicalized via social media. Turns out if you rattle millions of grenades a few explode.

            It’s blatantly obvious he was trying to hide the shooters connection to Republicans and Trump. Come on now.
