Or put another way Musk is anti censorship, anti war in Ukraine, anti complying with the Harris/Biden agenda to deplatform political rivals such as they did 4 days after Biden took office, forcing Pre Musk Twitter/X and Facebook to do their bidding - or else. Turns out the ones squawking loudest about the other being a threat to democracy are in fact the ones actively working against our Constitutional Rights. And I’m a lifelong Democrat who changed to Indy and won’t support these clowns going forward. Wake up before the US is just like the UK and the police are at your door because of a post they disagree with - fuck the first amendment, right? Just like Harris and Walz just said, the first amendment doesn’t protect misinformation or hate speech… actually; it 100% does but the boomer news is gonna try to make us all believe more of their lies.

I can't agree more, I'm a black lifelong Democrat and I'm fed up with their lies. Nowadays I only get my information from Truth Social and I finally realized how evil Democrats are.

  I've been a lifelong liberal and won't vote Democrat after seeing how SpaceX and Tesla are being treated by the liberal media, including the publishing of outright fake news by so called reputable outlets. I don't support Trump or Putin or dictators in general. If I vote Republican at some point it'd be an anti-Democrat vote.

    Democrats aren’t the liberal media, and the current Democratic controlled government also happen to be subsidizing both SpaceX and Tesla

      No SpaceX subsidies. It's not a thing in the launch industry.
      - h0l0cube 2y ago
        Yeah right, but they get awarded plenty of contracts from NASA, which is a money flowing from a Democratic government to SpaceX. Call it what you will, but it doesn't sound like the actions of the government as an institution match up with this rhetoric that Democrat governance is hurtful to Elon's companies.

      Biden held an EV summit in 2021 and didn't invite Tesla. At the summit he called GM's CEO Mary Barra the pioneer of EVs when GM produced only 28 EVs that quarter and Tesla like 200K. They also tried to make the EV subsidies not apply to Tesla. On Reddit any positive news about SpaceX like the first private spacewalk is actively downvoted by democrats and liberals. And any negative news is hugely amplified whether true or not. Mods of large subreddits hand out permanent bans and remove posts if you comment against the narrative even when sourcing official SpaceX responses.

Looking at this thread, I'm seeing that it's the anti-Elon commenters that have been downvoted, flagged, and silenced. And instead there seems to be a lot of conspicuously biased anti-Democrat Elon supporters who seem untarnished. So I'm not buying these claims of persecution. As for your claims around subsidies, see my responses to the sibling comments – assuming your not a bot.

      SpaceX isn't subsidized and the govt tried really really hard to exclude Tesla from EV subsidies, and reversed at the last minute.

  > Astroturfing is going strong in here. You made the above statement in response to one user, and then a different user replied who has a 9-month-old account and 1/3 of his comments include "Tesla": https://hn.algolia.com/?type=comment&query=author:ripjaygn+Tesla https://hn.algolia.com/?type=comment&query=author:ripjaygn+T... You called it. The astroturfing is off the charts! And the user who replied to your comment pulled the "As a black man" routine just like the user you replied to. LOL.

    Yes, it’s sad, but I guess it’s expected. Elon bought Twitter to have a propaganda platform, use it for himself, and sell disinformation-as-a-service. Why wouldn’t he pay for astroturfing on popular websites as well? A website like HN where you can find a lot of tech people and investors. It’s easy, it’s cheap, it’s mean. I see no reason he wouldn’t.
    - ripjaygn 2y ago
      I'm not cheap, I am a highly paid SRE. If you're going accuse me of astroturfing please don't call me cheap.
      - qsdf38100 2y ago
        I don't believe you. But anyway, if you do this for free, you're just a useful idiot.
  - ripjaygn 2y ago
    Tesla doesn't even have a PR team because Musk is cheap and Musk totally pays me(a highly paid DevOps/SRE btw) to astroturf by offering me 7 figures! Please get a grip on reality.
