Boycott X (Twitter) This has got to stop. I am tired of Elon Musk playing with our livelihoods on Social Media! Call Your Representatives, Call Your News Stations. Ask them to stop using X. To stop reporting about what is mentioned on X. Take away his power!!!

Originally commented by u/Big_Process9521 on 2025-02-25 10:52:45 AM(mepvg58)I posted one about this as well… I was hoping for some attorney like language to help with the calls to focus on why this is an issue on multiple levels.
Musk is purposefully using our government to improve his engagement on the platform…
We all agree right to free speech and free press but he is tactically using his own platform for government media and statements.
It’s a clear conflict of interest but we can all agree banning government communications on it would be bad practice…

Originally commented by u/IdioticPrototype on 2025-02-25 10:49:45 AM(mepuu1k)I just think if the News Media would stop at least as a main news story that it would take away his power.
I also would prefer that our representatives use the podium on the house and senate floor rather than use social media. I’m all for a lawyer to make sense and be concise in the wording because I am way too emotional for my words to have the meaning that is needed to help.Originally commented by u/Ella_Gene on 2025-02-25 10:18:10 AM(mepofth)🏳️🌈🎉 #50501

In every market that Tesla is declining in, the overall EV market is actually expanding.
Tesla is literally going in the opposite sales direction of their competitors.

I have a stalker who aligns as MAGA. I have a throwaway on X to see what he posts. Some of the shit that’s on his page is dangerous. I would REALLY like to not have an account, but for my safety and the safety of an associated relative, I have to.
