I am more aware the workings over 10 years of this Institution than you are. 15 years. You, respectfully?

Where were you say... this day in 2013? We were here. Discussing.

The world you're in is plastic, finite, hopeless....whereas we understand the financial aspects accurately of our site...and limitations.

You do not have the invested long term participation in this site...to comprehend...that it was never about the money.

Back to question: on about oh...Dec 27, 2011 ... We members were right here...discussing the Mayan Calendars possible effect or lack thereof...and you were?

When we place demi-god heathens of Satan like Treasonous Trump, Bumbling Biden and Satans spawn Musk on any platform that's "acceptable" to you....and you see no issue w that suggestion...then you're doomed.

There's the rub. Completely.

Welcome

You haven't answered me whether this platform is financially viable and who is in charge. What's wrong with Elon Musk?

gonna say no as the guy's a moron.

Musk. like Trump are narcicstic attention whores, and the negative attention he'd bring to ATS would make some of us long timers leave.

Is he really a moron?
Why?

Because he let people discussing men can never be women and vaccines are not safe and effective or an election may have been stolen. How many accounts were banned or suspended for holding these 'controversial' views?

I don't know much about Rogue Nation but I wonder if these sites are being bought out and then left to die intentionally.

It would be the easiest way for organizations with money to stifle the counter culture.

It's always suspicious if you don't know who the owners are. At the very least people should know who is in charge of a platform they are participating.

Nope.

Because he's a narcacicst who only cares about his own image. Still waiting for super geek Zuckerberg to kick his ass. Oh, thats right Musk chickened out.

Not a good reason.
And many could argue he isn't a narcissist. But yet not a good reason on why he shouldn't take over ATS.

Son...that you ask such a stupid question...is telling. Respectfully.

Ok..I'll extend the ATS commonality to seeking knowledge and answers to you:

It is your question that you ask to learn what is wrong with Musk. That you don't already know...is your answer that you've given yourself.

Why is it a stupid question?
People say Musk is a narcissist. Not a good answer and irrelevant to the question asked but anyway you can ask the same question about the current owners if you knew who they are. You see the problem?

Musk is a businessman by the way and a very successful one so financial security and investment won't be issues anymore.

Not a good reason.

Don't you mean...In your opinion, you don't think it's a good idea?
See, I could just say....dumb reason for a thread when you don't want a discussion and just want to tell everyone that they're wrong and you're right. A little narcacist don't you think?

Elon here?

He'd only just run the site into the ground even more.

Being a narcissist isn't a good reason on why Musk shouldn't take over ATS. It's just irrelevant as he is a businessman and he could be anything but this doesn't make him an unsuitable owner for any platform. Your reason isn't valid that's what I am trying to say.

Other people can argue he is sad or gay but again these are not valid reasons...

Twitter looks like the platform with the least censorship from all other online platforms.

Is it really?

www.abovetopsecret.com... Wow. Twitters anti violent speech filters HYPER sensitive.

The internet is run by one idiot or another who only cares about getting your data and managing the sites how they see fit.

We have heard this in the past but you can still say vaccines are not safe and effective without getting banned. Get real.

And I don't think Musk is valid. I've noticed everyone still keeps calling it Twitter and not 'X' so hows that going for him?

I tried my hand at Twitter and it's a cluster # of information overload irrelevant information I have no interest in constant advertising I don't need because I'm already set in my purchasing practices and I'm broke anyway so ads just annoy me.

It wasn't worth the time and effort trying to customize my feed to my preferences because it's so damn insistent on constant and obessive engagement protocols.

I have a life outside of my device and am not interested in being abreast of every trend news update social movement and so forth.

Others might jive with it but it's not for me.

But I thought Musk was the saviour of free speech. He's the same as Trump and will say anything either to help fill his pockets or to stroke his pathetic ego.
The site would end up being worse than the The National Enquirer.

Regardless of who owns ATS or the political direction it takes; get ready to pay to play; just Speculation ...

a reply to: Fortrean

there was a thread on ATS the other day about censorship on X, so he is not the bastion of free speech he claims to be

and I certainly wouldnt pay £8 a month to use ATS

Wow. Twitters anti violent speech filters HYPER sensitive.

a reply to: Fortrean

Hasn't he had enough failures to make people stop thinking he's some sort of genius?

Best case scenario?

Mom & Pop, true liberals/libertarians, obtain control.

ATS is anti-establishment, or should f'n be IMO.

That's too much emotional talk but not any valid arguments. You said he is a narcissist who is selfish and so on. But in most platforms you can't really express what you want to say without the risk of having your account suspended. On twitter you won't get banned if you talk about elections, transwomen who aren't women, and the rest of the 'hot' topics.
