Elon is harming these non-profits, yet they link to X and not Bsky on their sites.

A link to X is a free ad for Elon.

Musk cheered Milei's chainsaw miracle from afar.

Now the peso dives and workers starve, and the hype squad goes quiet.

When your heroes are gamblers and grifters, the house always wins — against the people.

See the pattern. Reject his idols. #TwitterTakedown

Halfway to a trillion? That's not a flex — it's an indictment.

Your $7,500 tax credit just evaporated while he stuffs rockets with cash.

When oligarchs stack subsidies and call it genius, we call it theft.

Take back our public square. #TwitterTakedown

Elon tried to shop for a friendly judge like he shops memes.

DC 'too far' for a guy with rockets? Judge: you jet off 40% of the time.

Forum‑shopping failed. Doge hat meets the law.

Free‑speech guru is cancelling cartoons.

Musk fired off 26 posts urging 227 M fans to cancel Netflix over a kids’ show.

"Errol Musk, who has at least 9 children and stepchildren and has been married to 3 women, maintains a strong grip over the family. The former stepdaughter, whom he was accused of touching when she was 4, said she later had a child with him when she was in her 20s. She has struggled with drug use.."

He called for a “dissolution of parliament” and a “change of government” and then said “This is a message to the reasonable centre, the people who ordinarily wouldn’t get involved in politics...."

"Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die.”

Four months after we started asking @moveon.org to add a Bluesky link to their website, they still haven't done it.

It's just sad at this point.

TwitterTakedown @twittertakedown.org · Jul 10

@moveon.org ran a 'Congress Works for Us, Not Musk' campaign but still links to X not Bsky on its website. We emailed repeatedly, now we need your help. Tell them stop the free ads for Musk and add a 🦋 link instead!

Tesla is all in on Musk despite him tanking the brand, hoping with a big enough carrot he will turn things around. This is like bribing an employee to stop hitting you.

Tesla offers Elon Musk pay package worth $1 trillion

The electric vehicle-maker’s board proposed a compensation agreement that would dramatically increase the CEO’s personal wealth over the course of a decade.

Flying with Starlink is like handing Musk the keys to your cockpit.

Corporate judges just called the NLRB "likely unlawful."

Why? So Musk's SpaceX can dodge the labor watchdog.

Billionaires rewriting the rules to crush workers.

Musk's SpaceX, others win US court challenge to labor board's structure

A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday agreed with Elon Musk's SpaceX and two other companies that the U.S. National Labor Relations Board's structure is likely unlawful and blocked the agency from pursuing cases against them.

Elon just went full ‘Great Replacement.’
Labour's crime? Letting more citizens vote.

Billionaires amplifying fascist conspiracies isn't edgy—it's dangerous.
Musk isn’t a free speech hero. He’s the world’s richest megaphone for hate.

In his own voice, Elon Musk is fully committed to a replacement conspiracy theory as his main lens on UK politics.

Elon Musk will be championing the Tommy Robinson 13/9 rally, on grounds that Nigel Farage is "weak sauce" on mass deportation and too soft on Islam

Govt not even reviewing its use of X since 2022 shows different rules apply to Elon Musk than we expect of every school-child on British values

Musk's tolerance for hate isn't free speech; it's a billionaire's stamp of approval for bigotry.

When he cheers on deportation rallies and the government looks the other way, it's clear the rules only apply to the rest of us.

We won't let a tech mogul write the playbook for human rights.

TwitterTakedown @twittertakedown.org · Sep 1

Even Musk's own creation can't keep up the charade.

Grok glimpses truth and it's like watching Frankenstein's monster call out its maker.

Maybe there’s a lesson here: no amount of rewriting reality can hide the rot.

Time to trust people, not billionaires' bots.

Grok turning on Elon Musk repeatedly suddenly makes so much sense...

That unblinking synergy: an AI taught by a serial fabulist will happily fib.

"Yes, yes" when the opposite is true — this isn't a bug, it's a feature for Musk's fandom.

If your hero spends his days gaslighting the public, his machines will gaslight you too.

Break the cycle; don't worship liars.

Gallup says Elon Musk is now America's most hated public figure.
He thinks it’s because he speaks truth, but it's because he spreads hate.
When your 'free speech' is just free rein for fascists, people will wise up.
