Amid the escalating hostilities between Israel and Hamas, billionaire and X owner Elon Musk deleted multiple posts on his platform after he had inadvertently promoted two accounts that had previously spread pro-Hamas rhetoric.
The two accounts in question were @WarMonitors and @sentdefender, both of which provided real-time information during the attack.
“It is also worth following direct sources on the ground. Please add interesting options in replies below,” Musk said.
When the @WarMonitors account expressed their gratitude to Musk for the shout-out, the billionaire Tesla founder replied, “You’re welcome. It is essential to remain as close to the truth as possible, even when it comes to matters that are not favored. This platform intends to increase the accuracy of collective human efforts.”
You’re welcome.
As always, please stay as close to the truth as possible, even for stuff you don’t like.
This platform aspires to maximize signal/noise of the human collective.

Mediaite noted that after other accounts pointed out that @WarMonitor had referred to Hamas as “resistance fighters” and used “Jew” as a slur, Musk deleted the tweets.
Never forget that Elon’s favourite source of “reliable information” didn’t understand the extremely complicated concept of paint. https://t.co/iFDXdbpdfp pic.twitter.com/42bjqI2oSy

The guy Musk recommends for information on the Israel-Hamas escalation is an antisemitic account with a history of spreading misinformation https://t.co/S6iMX7yLNV pic.twitter.com/245LJbFYr1

As Breitbart News reported, “the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched an unprecedented terror attack on Israel, which has included the firing of thousands of rockets onto Israel and the infiltration of Israeli territory by land, air, and sea.”
“Responding to the surprise attack Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that the nation is ‘at war’ and the terrorists ‘will pay a price it has never known before,’” the report added. “Thus far, the attacks in Israel have reportedly left over 700 people dead and 2,315 wounded. Hamas claims it has captured Israel Defense Force soldiers and civilians during its assault on Israeli border towns outside Gaza. Israel’s military response – ‘Operation Sword of Iron’– has led to the deaths of 198 Palestinians and 1,864 people injured. The attack occurred on the Jewish holiday of Shemini Atzeret, the final day of the annual High Holy Day cycle.”

I can’t guess how many of you out there can see and what I’ve known for a while; that Elon Musk is very evil. He is one sick freak!
Some have been kissing his butt for taking over Twitter and I saw it all as the opposite which is why he made sure I didn’t get reinstated after being allowed back on the site for a few days!
The man has deep dark agendas and is very, very evil!
I don’t give a rats ass about Twitter which I won’t refer to it by his favorite letter in the alphabet; it’s all garbage and I wouldn’t want to use that site if I was paid to!
