Mark Zuckerberg ‘Twitter killer’ Threads enrages users over mass data collection: 'Near zero privacy' The new app from Meta collects info related to a user's credit score, religious affiliation and sexual orientation By Nikolas Lanum | Fox News FOX Business correspondent Kelly O'Grady has the latest on Zuckerberg's attempted blows at Elon Musk on 'Special Report.' Meta’s Twitter rival "Threads" has already enraged social media after it was discovered that the new "sharing with text" platform asks users to hand over even more data than its competitor, including financial and health information. Reporter Michael Shellenberger warned that the new creation from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has "near zero privacy" and said Congress must either break up Meta or mandate transparency as a condition of the company’s Section 230 protections. "Mark Zuckerberg says he’s not thinking about monetization of users on his Twitter clone, Threads, but that’s a lie.

Elon Musk Pledges That Tesla Will Uphold ‘Core Socialist Values’ in China OH THE IRONY https://www.thedailybeast.com/elon-...la-will-uphold-core-socialist-values-in-china Self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist” and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has promised the company will uphold “core socialist values” in China following a price war in the country’s electric vehicle market, the Financial Times reported. Tesla was the only foreign carmaker to sign the joint letter pledge with 16 manufacturers at an auto industry conference in Shanghai on Thursday. “Failing to comply with ‘core socialist values’ has been frequently used by authorities to punish speeches that are critical of the Chinese government,” a senior China researcher with Human Rights Watch told the Times. Musk’s own social media platform, Twitter, is banned in the country, and he has been criticized for refraining from tweeting while visiting China. The seemingly at-odds commitment came after Tesla cut Model 3 and Model Y prices to compete with the growing domestic EV industry. In 2018, Musk revealed he was “actually a socialist” in a tweet, writing “true socialism seeks greatest good for all.” Tesla declined to comment to the Times on the pledge in China.

As much as Trump and Musk have a similar penchant for stupidity, Trump would never propose a dick contest. ".....Trump’s bodyguard invites Stormy Daniels to dinner, which turns out to be an invitation to Trump’s penthouse, she writes, in a description of alleged events that Daniels has disclosed previously but which in the book are rendered with new and lurid detail. She describes Trump’s penis as “smaller than average” but “not freakishly small”. “He knows he has an unusual penis,” Daniels writes. “It has a huge mushroom head.
