Elon Musk is deliberately using his platform to poison our politics and divide our country. It's time for the government to wake up to the threat he poses to our democracy

Well, well, Ed, you sanctimonious cunt, it seems you've stumbled into a rancid cesspool of your own making with this sanctimonious drivel about Elon Musk "poisoning" our politics. Your pompous arse is clutching at straws, peddling this preposterous narrative like some self-righteous prig, all while ignoring the festering hypocrisy oozing from your own sordid history. The Sky News investigation you’re wanking over...claiming X’s algorithm shoves right-wing content down our throats smacks of intellectual masturbation, a flimsy house of cards built on cherry-picked data from a measly nine accounts. Utter bollocks! A 2023 Journal of Computational Social Science study dismantles your drivel, showing algorithms merely amplify what users engage with, not some grand conspiracy orchestrated by Musk’s Machiavellian mind. You’re not exposing a threat; you’re spewing a load of codswallop to justify your hard-on for censorship. Let’s not mince words, you insufferable git...your past reeks of complicity. As a minister during the Post Office Horizon scandal, you turned a blind eye to Alan Bates’ pleas, letting 900+ operators rot under wrongful convictions from that shambolic IT system. The 2024 Guardian exposé laid bare your belated apology, a pathetic mea culpa after the damage was done, with lives shattered and 13 suicides on your watch. Yet here you are, pontificating about democracy’s sanctity, you hypocritical knob-end, while lusting to silence voices that dare defy your brittle orthodoxy. Your call for government intervention is a vile, venomous lunge at free expression, a desperate grasp to muzzle the unvarnished truth spilling forth on X. The "Unite the Kingdom" rally with its 110,000 attendees, proves the silent majority’s roar...something your censorious cabal can’t stomach. We’re done with your tyrannical twaddle, Ed. You and your ilk will never shackle us again with your cancel-culture claptrap. So take your pompous arse, fuck off to the farthest reaches of irrelevance, and choke on the bitter pill of your own irredeemable arrogance. The truth will out, you odious wretch, and no amount of your sanctimonious sputum will stifle it.

"Divide our country" means "allowing people who disagree with us to have a voice" in the "liberal" worldview.

If you’re leaning right, X serves as an echo chamber. It makes sure you don’t see too many alternative viewpoints. If you’re not politically aligned, X wants to radicalise you. You get served 8% neutral content, 63% right-wing content, and 28% left-wing content. Shut it down!

It was Musk’s X that exposed the largest British scandal in decades, while the BBC clouded the debate with misinformation on LGBTQ issues and Trump. The world isn’t as black and white as you make it out to be.

Bullshit. Every other social media company is a propaganda engine for the left. X is neutral which leftists perceive as having right-wing bias. The problem is not X. The problem is leftist delusion.

Should we go back to old Twitter when Republicans were suppressed at 10 times the rate of Democrats?

You mean he is allowing the opinion of the silent majority(which was supressed for years by you lot) to flourish, and show your globalist narrative up for what it is?

"poisoning our politics" = opposing immigration replacement and questioning systemic raping of white girls by migrants

Why is he “poisoning” our politics? Are you saying the “right” is poison? Where was your outrage when old Twitter, or any other social media platform for that matter, was heavily left leaning? Hypocrite!

@EdwardJDavey Spare us the pious act. You spend half your waking hours on this platform, milking it for reach, clout, and headlines – yet the moment someone you dislike owns it, you cry that democracy is under threat. If Elon Musk is "poisoning politics," what does that make you, a man who uses his megaphone daily and never once refuses the traffic it gives him? Here's the truth. You don't fear Musk. You fear the loss of control. For years the British Left treated social media as its private estate – curated timelines, "trusted sources," the same old chorus of approved voices. Then Musk kicked the gate down. Suddenly ordinary people could challenge you. You couldn't throttle dissent by uttering the magic words – "disinformation," "hate speech," "dangerous content." That's what keeps you up at night: the fact you can no longer rig the echo chamber. And the hypocrisy is staggering. If the platform is such a menace, why are you here every day? Why are Labour MPs here? Why are the Greens here? Why is Corbyn's Party here? Why is the BBC here? Why is every activist, every quango, every lobbyist glued to the very site you claim is tearing the country apart? Because you don't want it shut down. You want it tamed. You want it put back under the thumb of the same political class that has spent a decade trying to decide what the public is allowed to hear, think, or say. Musk didn't "divide the country." The division came from politicians who lost the public's trust and now resent a platform where people can actually answer back. If you really believe X is a threat to democracy, Ed, log off. Delete your account. Lead by example. But you won't – because you need the engagement more than you need the truth. So drop the sanctimony. Your problem isn't Elon Musk. Your problem is an electorate you can no longer manipulate.

Twitter 1.0 silenced medical professionals who spoke out against rushing vaccines during Covid-19 Sky News kept silent. Twitter 1.0 was told to censor accounts discussing the revelation of Hunter Biden’s laptop in the run up to the 2020 election. It was never propaganda and Russian interference. Sky News kept silent. Sky News kept silent when @GOPoversight questioned Twitter employees for silencing right wing leaning accounts discussing Hunter Biden’s laptop. Sky News have made a claim today without transparently backing it up with any evidence such as the accounts interactions or the LLM the AI analyser was trained on. And of course there is also the bias that Sky News conducted this research in partnership with a CCDH employee, the same non-profit who’s agenda was to “take down Musk’s Twitter” To say it’s right wing leaning is bollocks. I see your leftist nonsense on my feed everyday !

Dear Mr. Davey... your government... - Bans free speech - Bans flying your own flag - Bans church bells to ring yet allows Islamic prayers to be blasted from loudspeakers - Arrests Christian preachers on the street for preaching the Gospel - funds immigrants who hate your country and your culture - and somehow you think Elon (who is against all this crap) is a problem? How blind are you?
