Elon Musk to end Twitter’s censorship team: ‘I’m on the warpath!’
Elon Musk has described himself as “on the Warpath” to change the entire Twitter organization. Once the $44 billion takeover of the social media giant is completed, Musk is “expected to serve as a temporary CEO of Twitter for a few months” after, according to CNBC’s David Faber.
During the Met Gala in New York City, the entrepreneur told the Associated Press of his plans:
“Well, I mean, the goal that I have, should everything come to fruition with Twitter, is to have a service that is broadly — is as broadly inclusive as possible where ideally most of America is on it and talking!” Musk told the AP.
“I think just generally, the — I’m looking for something that’s like I said as broadly inclusive as possible, that’s as trusted as possible as a system, and I hope we are successful in that regard,” he continued.
“I’ve also vowed this publicly that we have to get rid of the bots, trolls, scams, and everything,” he added. “That’s obviously diminishing the user experience and we don’t want people to get tricked out of their money and that kind of thing.”
“I’m on the warpath!” he declared.

A fake photo of a terrifying explosion at the Pentagon circulated the internet Monday, but not before causing panic in the stock market. “A purportedly AI-generated photo of a fake explosion at the Pentagon spread rapidly on social media on Monday – prompting mass confusion among users and a brief selloff in the US stock market” reports the New York Post.
As the photo was shared on social media platforms, US stocks took a dip; fortunately recovery occurred “quickly”. The Post reported that the photo showing billowing smoke “was shared by Russian state media outlet and other accounts alongside claims that an explosion has occurred at the complex. RT later deleted the image.”
This morning, an AI generated image of an explosion at the US Pentagon surfaced.
With multiple news sources reporting it as real, the S&P 500 fell 30 points in minutes.
This resulted in a $500 billion market cap swing on a fake image.
It then rebounded once the image was… pic.twitter.com/DpHgflkMXP

The scare is the latest example of the global damages and repercussions that can occur due to artificial intelligence. The Post gives additional examples: “Previously, social media users were tricked by viral AI-generated images of Pope Francis wearing a Balenciaga puffer jacket and of former President Donald Trump clashing with the NYPD while being arrested.”
@PFPAOfficial and the ACFD are aware of a social media report circulating online about an explosion near the Pentagon. There is NO explosion or incident taking place at or near the Pentagon reservation, and there is no immediate danger or hazards to the public. pic.twitter.com/uznY0s7deL

Hey @ElonMusk, Twitter is still shadow banning as of today. May 5, 2022.
I replied today to Michael “hockey stick” Mann with a quote from a peer-reviewed study which he co-authored. Immediately I was asked by Twitter to take the shadow test. I answered all 15 shadow tests correctly to prove I was human, and Twitter said so. Tried to post, then Twitter message is ‘sorry something went wrong.’ Exit and try again, and there is the shadow test again. And again.
“Your account is locked. After careful review, we determined your account broke the Twitter Rules. Your account is temporarily in read-only mode, which means you can’t Tweet, Retweet, or Like content. Most accounts regain full access in a week, but it could take longer.”
Here’s the quote I posted:
Michael Mann with others in the journal Nature Geoscience: “Over most of the early twenty-first century, however, model tropospheric warming is substantially larger than observed.” (Santer et al., 2017)
In other words, their computer models substantially overestimate the global warming alleged to occur in the real world.
Here is the reference:
Santer, et al.,2017. Causes of differences in model and satellite tropospheric warming rates. By Benjamin D. Santer1 *, John C. Fyfe2 , Giuliana Pallotta1 , Gregory M. Flato , Gerald A. Meehl , Matthew H. England , Ed Hawkins , Michael E. Mann , Jeffrey F. Painter , Céline Bonfils , Ivana Cvijanovic , Carl Mears , Frank J. Wentz , Stephen Po-Chedley , Qiang Fu and Cheng-Zhi Zou.

If he really wants to protect free speech he needs to stop providing global users’ data to the United Nations, the FBI, the CIA the NSA, the DHS,and foreign intelligence groups like five eyes. No probable cause, no warrant, just send us all your data. The 2 major social media platforms were designed by US intelligence, DARPA and others as a way of doing mass data collection. The reason we are being censored, is because Babylon controls all the data, and thus control the narrative. This is the largest psyop is the history of the world. They are literally brainwashing anyone dumb enough to fall for it.It is truly Biblical and soon enough, their entire system will crumble.Strap on God’s armor boys, it’s about to get a little shaky, everything not built on The Rock is gonna be shaken to its’ very foundation. To him who overcomes, you will be given access to the tree of life.

Now this is something special to admire. Notice he isn’t taking down the Constitution, burning a building, stealing all the products on shelves, blocking police and traffic on a major street, killing or raping someone, nor picketing at the house of a Supreme Court Judge?????
