News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Grimes still doesn’t want you back, dude.
Spoken exactly like the person who doesn’t care if they’re hated or not. “I WILL DOCUMENT YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS IN GREAT DETAIL!!”
I, too, prefer making other people the scapegoat to avoid letting myself feel any personal responsibility over my actions.
It's like a rapist who ends up in jail and blames the victim with the rationale that "she was asking for it".
He wants Twitter dead, he never wanted the company and he's stuck with it and is basically doing the most above board sabotage of the company he can get away with.
...funded by Saudis, who also want Twitter dead so it can't be used to organize Arab Spring 2.0.
I don't really follow this. If he actually doesn't want Twitter to be a thing, there's a button in the data center that turns off all the servers. He can just push that. There's no law against it and he's the majority shareholder - what's he going to do, sue himself?
To advance his political agenda, it needs to look like an accident. Or incompetence.
I'm not convinced that's what he's actually doing, but I do acknowledge that it's a pretty strong case. But as the old adage goes, never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity.
Yeah I have my doubts that it's a purposeful plan. He'd have to know people would see him as a laughingstock, and his ego couldn't handle that.
"I WILL WATCH THAT DOCUMENTARY AND LAUGH EVERY TIME I SEE YOU GETTING SADDER AND SADDER AT YOUR FAILING BUSINESS WHICH IS ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT MR MUSK, YOU SMELLY CARROT OF A MAN"
Is how I'd respond to that.
Wasn't he recently visiting israeli kibuts settlers and learning about the hamas attack just after the wave of press about antisemitism on X? He's fragile.

Sounds fucking good to me. Keep it up, non-advertisers.
and I will buy the crap out of those products that were the downfall of ~~Twitter~~ X
