Its the Chinese government. What would you expect otherwise.

Could you imagine the backlash if suddenly some sort of Yandex social app became a big thing in 2020? The Chinese always get an exception.

I think you're barking up the wrong tree. This is likely on the EU government that told social media sites to censor Trump.

Possibly. I'd not expect them to give the EU the finger. It's not their way. They get American chaos either way.

If they sent the letter threatening X the day of, they absolutely sent the letter to every other platform. And as we already know, the other platforms kowtow to government demands immediately.

Honestly seconding this. Tik Tok is already facing extreme pressure from the USA and EU, likely they did this to get the commies and socialists within both those governments off there back, or at least to try to

DDoS attacks, EU sending threatening letters, TikTok censorship...why are they so afraid of this interview?

Considering what they talked about it’s hilarious to try to censor it. It’s just Trump shooting the shit with Elon and then both of them refusing to hang up at the end. An important point Elon did bring up though is that it is really weird and hilarious that you can’t actually sit down and have an actual conversation with the other candidates. Kamala isn’t even doing interviews. The DNC base didn’t even get to vote to choose their own candidate and now she won’t even allow people to talk to her. Super creepy.

She's no less of a puppet than biden, despite theoretically being in control of her own mental faculties. Allowing her to speak would let her contradict the actual agenda or expose how retarded she is.

I think for her she’s just retarded. She got away with her shtick when there was less of a public eye on her. Now she’s VP and it’s so bad and obvious they had to keep her off camera as much as they could. Now she’s the candidate and they can’t even show her and that’s the plan. It’s pretty pathetic.

Nobody getting to vote for her is a sore point for the left base. Biden didn't all of a sudden deteriorate this summer, his handlers have known he was out the door by 2022, but there was zero attempts to challenge him. The plan was to always let him unexpectedly flounder in the first debate and switch him out with the appointed new face as late as possible. Kamala's policy page is still just a donation portal, she could be a cardboard cutout and they would run her to influence her privately selected cabinet positions.

Any time people actually see or hear Trump instead of the orange Hitler caricature they end up liking Trump more.

China's economy is hanging on by a thread. And that thread really only exists because of creative accounting.

If Trump actually goes through with his promise to start slamming tariffs on imports they're well and truly fucked.

TL;DR: China big mad. China big scared.

Idk seems like big cope to me. I hear the same rhetoric everywhere about how much of a paper tiger the Chinese are while we are nearing 40 trillion usd in debt, just federally.

I've been hearing that China is on the verge of collapse for as long as I can remember. Considering that this is the country that rose from the ashes of the Cultural Revolution, WW2, and the Opium Wars, I have a hard time believing that their current troubles are what's gonna finally do them in.

More eyes on Twitter then since they have it uncensored.

Really dumb move when Elon is positioning Twitter to compete with TikTok and YouTube, giving him a free win like this.

I was thinking maybe those streams were copyright claimed? Elon seems a lot more keen to lock things down in X's walled garden than previous management was. (because he actually needs to try and make money instead of running as Deep State apparatus with infinite funding)

Only reason I doubt that is if he did then Tiktok would immediately show that, same with YouTube.

If your paymasters are salty over a competitor and you can have a quick own on them, you're going to shout that out as much as possible.

They are implicitly. He would have to explicitly license it. Now, this gets ignored a lot for free as in beer content. Twitter might actually give a. Shit tho.. They spent time. Making this happen including fighting the DDOSers.

So, X would be able to carry an interview of Trump with ABC?

EU and China both doing election interference to help Democrats. No investigation, no action, no sanctions. They can do it with impunity because orangemanbad.

Still on youtube. Listened to it last night on some Indian news network's channel that livestreamed it on continuous loop.

The only reason I was playing it was because there were millions of people watching it on X, and millions of people who couldn't get into the Space!

Yeah, that's exactly why they removed it.

Fix this.

You don't seem to understand that this is working exactly as intended.

If the interview was bad for him you'd see it all over the place. His comment on beachfront properties with glaciers melting was lame, and in longer paragraphs I could hear a lisp, but he was confidently himself for two hours unscripted and only embarrassed himself once. Even leaving a hot mic on at the end only revealed that he moves around his house like a normal person after sitting for a two hour conversation.

There ought to be a right to lie. What can I say? It I were to go back I'd make that explicit. It is just like the war in drugs. You cant stop anyone from doing it. Merely pick winners
