I see almost 0 hate or negative messages on X. I must be doing something wrong/right or following different groups. I'd like to understand why some people aren't seeing it and if groups/regions are being targeted with different content.

I ask people “what’s so deplorable about Musk?” and their complaints are always vague. He’s not in lockstep with MSNBC so he’s a nazi or something? idk makes no sense to me.

  There's nothing vague about it. E.g. just to use the obvious example these stories are about: He lauded, without adding qualifications, a comment that arguably was over-broad and promoted hatred based on race/religion. Again, arguably; but also obviously - as in, that interpretation is an obvious potential one, even if you don't agree with it. And yet, knowing that, he still chose his action. He could have expressed a more reasonable opinion in any of various different ways, or in response to any of the various more reasonable criticisms of e.g. the ADL - but he explicitly chose not to. So, you may agree or disagree with the position I'm describing as "arguable", but the position is not "vague", and it of course implies none of the hyperbole you've resorted to in painting your opponents.

Are you familiar with the recent activities of the owner, chairman, and CTO of X? People may object to X without having any concerns about the content of X.

  Just say what “activities” you’re talking about. Your statement begs a lot of questions.

    “Okay. Jewish [communities] have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them,” the post read. “I’m deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest shit now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don’t exactly like them too much,” the user continued, adding, “You want truth said to your face, there it is.” Musk replied: “You have said the actual truth" https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4312813-elon-musk-facing-scrutiny-antisemitic-post/ https://thehill.com/homenews/media/4312813-elon-musk-facing-... I'm aware that many people would not classify this as anti-Semantic, but many others do. Those that do are not necessarily concerned about the content of X.

      There’s a lot going on in those quotes and I don’t think it boils down to “Jews bad”.

        Upstream a poster noted that they never saw anti-Semantic content in their feed. The whole of my point is that many people who object to X are not concerned about its content.
