    The propaganda got to him and he thinks Elon Musk is Jesus.

    Comparing a $300 android phone to an iPhone is laughable. The performance is nowhere near the same. Not everyone in this world is poor, people do have money. If you’re a peasant that cant afford a real phone then stick with your $300 phone.

    If anything, twitter will be taking a slow death and Musk will be a few billion lighter in the pocket before he will be looking to dump it in a fire sale.

    The samsung galaxy is around the same price as an iphone and can do everything an iphone can.

    I have an iphone but people get suckered into buying them every year, or two years. They say "the new one is so much faster." But then I actually did a test with a brand new iphone and one that was 1 year old. There is no difference in speed to the naked eye. That 0.001 seconds of increased speed is not detectable. Your increased megapixels on your camera, at this already advanced stage, is not detectable to the naked eye either.

    It's really all a scam. As long as I can make a phone call, send a text message, browse a little internet, and place a gamble, check my cc statements, that's all I need my phone to do. I don't need to play video games on my phone like some loser who doesn't interact with society.

    Musk is one of the only billionaires fighting for what our entire constitution is based around -- free speech. The rest of these billiionaires are scared to say something that hurts their pockets, or image. The whole point of living in this country is that people are not supposed to agree. Musk is fighting to make sure we are not all taken down the liberal rainbow rabbit hole.

    Dude , he was a broke ass negrah until obummer saved his ass. He reminds me of why the Roman Empire went down. The rich used to buy their kids a spot in the military. Why we are the best. R.I.f. Is what our military does.

    You think not being on Twitter takes away your free speech? That's sad, so no one had free speech before 2007 or 08. Fox news not having Democrats on nightly right after tucker and Hannity is taking their free speech., By that reasoning. Musk thought he was going to make money on the deal, but it's not looking to good!

    I have the Galaxy S22 and it's awesome. Yes it wasn't cheap brand new.

    I've been boycotting Apple for years now. I'm working off a new and powerful Dell laptop and it works just fine. I'd put it up against any Apple craptop computer.

    Fock the I-phone, I-pads and apple laptops I say! Shit woke company that is in bed with China.

    It is sad, even if ignorance is expected from a poster like him, it's still sad.

    It's absolutely amazing how many people have no clue what Free Speech actually is and it's even more amazing how so many have bought into the main stream media propaganda that moderating content on Twitter is somehow an infraction of free speech.

    It just blows my mind how many are so ignorant to the basic constitutional concept.

    What's worse is that those who seem to advocate the most for freedom of speech they claim they lost, but never actually lost, are doing so in order to be able to mis and dis inform the public about a variety of issues.

    It's just wrong.

    Only way Apple goes bankrupt is if their phones and tablets consistently start exploding and killing people over and over and over. Then maybe they have trouble.

    That was the last product I also owned from Apple also. It pissed me off when Apple got greedy and took down the Itunes media player for ipods. That was a sneaky ass move by apple to screw over every IPOD owner.

    I think Apple is under contract with Twitter to keep them in the App store. I don't think Musk attorneys would have have let him buy Twitter without some kind of clause pending with the apple app store.

    Apple will get sued into oblivion by Musk if they try any shit like that I believe. It just makes sense to me.

    I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. I don't care if Elon is broke or rich. But if you're rich, you get a platform. And he's calling out a ton of bs, things many of us already say but we don't have the reach he does. What has he said that was wrong? Everything is dead accurate. It's not a mystery why these celebrities are leaving twitter. Their mind is polluted with extreme liberalism. It's almost like we have to succumb to that or else we're all going to get canceled. F that. I'm happy someone is actually speaking up for us who have traditional values.

    Na not saying that, but in this dumb digital society that's where we are headed. Next generation of kids are all going to be glued to tech. Everything is digital. They will live on their phones, much more than they already do. Look at some of the stuff that's coming out the past few years. Do you want your daughter pissing in a bathroom in the stall next to a transgender? I don't. And if I come out and say that, they (as in the big brother liberal movement people) will try and shut down my business.

    If you hurt someone's feelings because you don't agree with them, and they are some kind of minority race or religion, they'll try and hang you. What kind of society is this? When you do that online, on a Twitter, you get roasted with thousands of comments from losers including celebrities who are just trying to protect their image.

    Why did disney make an animated pic with its first gay person ever and it flopped? If everyone truly loves this new age thinking and is on board, why didn't they go to see it? Because these posers/celebs online, they say one thing for the media but say something different behind closed doors. The market has spoken on that, and they told disney what they think. They seem amazed that not every parent wants to take their child to see that.

    Elon musk is just the one who is calling out the bs, cause he has the platform to do it.

    Elon was a hero to the Democrats in past years with the Tesla electric cars which revolutionized the start of the green new deal. Then he ponied up to built awesome rockets with Space X that can land backwards and made it known that his ambition to send man to mars is second to none! Democrats LOVED AND WORSHIPED HIM!

    Then the minute Elon buys Twitter and wants equal free speech for all he is now considered the Anti Christ as far as the Democrats are concerned.

    Democrats are so retarded and STUPID!!!

    If you look at the Samsung Galaxy closely... Samsung's last "best bang for the buck" model was the Galaxy 8 and 8+. Ever since that year... they have totally fu##ed their customers. Apple kept the bar high... and blew Samsung away. Samsung claims the next Galaxy released will be their best ever... and I totally believe it. They will match and beat the iPhone 14 Pro. Samsung has already made statements they it will undoubtedly beat iphone 14 pro's camera. Can they win back the customers?? Probably not... but it's a hard lesson learned.

    Anyone has free time?? Compare all Samsung Galaxy's model years since the Galaxy 8.... it would blow your mind that even the color depth and resolution.... they cheated their customers.

    No I don't want my daughter in that situation.
    After next week she will only like a year to finish Jurisprudence degree and I hope she understands free speech better than the people on here and anyone that thinks being ban from Twitter takes away your free speech, if I get banned tomorrow at SBR it in no way impedes my 1st amendment rights.
    Yes the younger generation is almost all digital and it's only getting worse.
    I sold my business in 2017 but, I would tell anyone now or then I don't want my daughter sharing a bathroom with transgender and it better not happen.
    I think every person has a right to be who they want to be, but if you hurt a child they should be given the max penalty allowed by law! Hurt my child get my max penalty. Meet Mr Smith and Wesson or Mr Browning

    Since the Iphone 4 and Galaxy s4, nothing significant has changed. They just both get a little better, and that is it. People that get new phones every year or 2, are the same drones that watch the Karkashians.

    That's the point though. Twitter is actually the most "public" place based on the way our society is headed. You won't get that kind of exposure in a rally, or a community meeting, or at state hall. So if you get canceled on there, or on SBR, yeah, that's someone taking away your free speech. It's moderating you, even if you're just respectfully voicing an opinion. If the left doesn't agree with that opinion, you're finished. So pre-Musk, if you habitually said things like "I don't want my daughter sharing a bathroom with a transgender," and you were posting it constantly, I guarantee you you'd be banned. Why should you be?

    Look what Twitter tried to do to Jordan Peterson, one of the most influential philosopher's of this century.

    People talk about racism a lot -- and it's like everyone has to be this happy go lucky person and get along with everyone. It's easy for those celebrities to come out and say "peace for all" when they've never left their little bubbles in their lives.
