Just when I thought that the the Apartheid Era Emerald Heir™ could not get any more petty, I learn that Elon Musk directed the staff at the company formerly known as Twitter to put a delay in for any website that he does not like.
The big lies of our society today are, "I'll respect you in the morning, "It's not about the money," I won't cum in your mouth," "This will only hurt a bit," "It's about the children," and Elon Musk saying, "I'm a free-speech absolutist."
I'm beginning to think that Elon Musk is a very poorly coded artificial intelligence program:
The company formerly known as Twitter [Nice burn there] has been slowing the speed with which users could access links to the New York Times, Facebook and other news organizations and online competitors, a move that appeared targeted at companies that have drawn the ire of owner Elon Musk.
Users who clicked a link on Musk’s website, now called X, for one of the targeted websites were made to wait about five seconds before seeing the page, according to tests conducted Tuesday by The Washington Post.
The delayed websites included X’s online rivals Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky and Substack, as well as the Reuters wire service and the Times. All of them have previously been singled out by Musk for ridicule or attack.
On Tuesday afternoon, hours after this story was first published, X began reversing the throttling on some of the sites, dropping the delay times back to zero. It was unknown if all the throttled websites had normal service restored.
I kind of get it for his competitors, but the New York Times?
I think we have the lamest person in the news this week, and between Donald Trump and Ammon Bundy, this is a pretty f%$#ing high bar.
