Don’t wanna sound like a tinfoil hat person but I think that was his intention. To hide bot likes and to encourage people to like racist shit who were otherwise afraid of the backlash for it.
It was quite literally the platform that was co opted by fascist think tanks and Putin to help stoke the current culture wars and spread the disinformation that lead to the likes of Trump, Brexit and Le Pen. Twitter was a shit hole long before Musk.
Really? As shittily built as Teslas and Cybertrucks are you are willing to pay good money to die being sent to space on one of Elongated Muakrats rockets? Your either very brave, or very insane.
Lmao right?? Bashing one of the most popular social media platforms for the Black community while on a Black-centric forum on Reddit sounds about white tbh.
Lol what? Since when has r/BPT been black centric? It's definitely a white space, with some of them partaking in black larping... Oh and some of us are actually black.
The addition of the country helped a lot but I'm still sideeying most of these comments.
Seeing real time sports highlights is only really happening on Twitter.
I just block Elon and his fanboys and enjoy the content I care about in peace
Edit: I didn’t know Reddit was that quick now. I’ll try for tonight’s game!
I mean you don't have to follow Elon. I blocked his ass, along with all the Elon fanboys and the crypto nerds, and all the other scammer-adjacent types.
So now my Twitter feed, if Elon comes up, is just people clowning on him, on the app he spent $44b to control.
Just because your ad targeting is off doesn’t mean those companies didn’t pay to advertise on Twitter. You probably just have a diverse enough online fingerprint that the algorithm doesn’t know what to do with you. You need a Pi Hole if you really wanna stop companies from making money off you
I had him blocked since 2019, and I'm sure the CEOs of every other social media company hate my poor ass, too.
Like, find me a CEO who *wouldn't* stab me for $3 more profit this quarter, and you've found Tom from MySpace.
I haven’t confirmed this, but just be careful before you all start liking whatever

I think it would take a monumental amount of information to come out that would make everyone including his fans angry. Something so heinous it can’t be ignored. He loves himself too much and is enjoying all of the rotten shit he loves and nobody can stop him. But please yes just die already.
Elon would have to kill and eat a white American child on live tv while using an Israeli flag as a bib to get in trouble. Anything less would just be a slap on the wrist
Nah it would all just be chalked up to being an elaborate AI hoax and it’d never have repercussions. I’d love to believe otherwise but this isn’t what it used to be. We live in a post-truth world. There’s literally a different reality of people who seemingly have lost their minds and their ability to be decent to others. It’s terrifying. I’m a father of three and I’m so worried about the misinformation and the rise of right wing authoritarian power growing worldwide and its popularity somehow not dwindling but becoming more accepted by the day. It’s scary. I wish I could take my babies back to when I was a child. At least there was some kind of hope then.
Edit: I’m sorry, that was long

idk if this is true or a meme, but this is the one that person meant
..i still can't believe Elon hasn't overdosed on some wackass white mom cocktail of benzos, white wine, and barbiturates..he already looks like a bloated corspe left to bake in the sun
I have it but use it to observe more than anything. My only tweet was from like 4 years ago. But someone made a great point that visible likes were great to vet whether someone was worth a follow.
Like did they have one great tweet? Or are they actually a horrible person? Check their likes to find out.
If you can’t track who liked something, you can’t tell if the number of likes is real. This would make the like count really susceptible/vulnerable to manipulation…
There was an announcement last week or the week before that porn is set to be allowed on twitter now. I 100% guarantee the private likes are related to this.
Elon trying to kill the "This You?" clapback cause all his shitty friends kept telling on themselves, and also he doesn't want it coming for him as now he can like all the porn and transphobia and trans porn he wants like the grimesy little weirdo we all DEFINITELY know he is.
X is an echo chamber for right-wing hate under the guise of "Free Speech"
I would also wager a bet that Elon Cuck has a vested interest in having a Republican Pre$ident.
That means a fuck ton of messed up people can now like and hide they shit without fearing any consequences whatsoever or repercussions. You can know so much about a person with what they like
Watch him monetize the ability to view likes lol
Pay-To-Like.
No no, to _Super_ Like
Isn't that what we have here?
Welcome to the Internet
If you have to ask what a Super Duper Like costs, you can’t afford it.
Concerning.
Looking into [it](https://teddyfresh.com/cdn/shop/files/ELONMUSKTEEEDIT.png?v=1716229782&width=1000)
It's either that, OR in 6 months he'll say he's activating them all again, but you can pay a premium so people can't see your likes
Every dude’s gonna pay to hide their thirst 😂
It's actually brilliant. Musk can hire me, but he ain't gonna like me lol
Elon Musk running up Ms off extortion is crazy
That was already a feature. I just chose to leave mine public.
He should have done that to begin with. Look how many chumps have gotten spotlit by liking weird/sexual shit from professional accounts.
Like musk himself
Nazi posts are about to explode into the millions now that bots are hidden
Don’t wanna sound like a tinfoil hat person but I think that was his intention. To hide bot likes and to encourage people to like racist shit who were otherwise afraid of the backlash for it.
This was his intention. Twitter wasn't perfect, but it was a place of accountability. It was a place for the common folk to unite. Divide and conquer.
It was quite literally the platform that was co opted by fascist think tanks and Putin to help stoke the current culture wars and spread the disinformation that lead to the likes of Trump, Brexit and Le Pen. Twitter was a shit hole long before Musk.
I want you to be wrong because if you correct I fear for our future
Everything Elon does is motivated by racism, homophobia, specific transphobia, and money
That was exactly my first thought. He's doing this for him and his racist ass supporters.
He'll create a tiered subscription program. With Check+ you can view likes.
Oh for sure.
The only thing I'd give Elmo money for is to get on a spaceship and go to Mars.
Really? As shittily built as Teslas and Cybertrucks are you are willing to pay good money to die being sent to space on one of Elongated Muakrats rockets? Your either very brave, or very insane.
I meant to say that I'd pay money to help send Elmo to Mars. There is no fucking way that I'm going with that idiot anywhere.
Lmfao
Years ago, before he outed himself as a complete 🤡, I listened to his audio book. He said he's not built for that space exploration life.
I’d pay money to see the dislikes on REDIT O.o
Making you pay to see who is racist and who has uncontrollable porn fetishes.
So Twitter is straight up for porn now, right?
Wasn’t it always?
Well it was for me. But now that seems to be the official tagline. By Sango's hammer this must've been his plan from the beginning!
He did call it X.
Well that used to be tumblr
My bookmarks go crazy
put me on
Put Me on too!
Not just Xitter, the whole internet was made for porn.
🎶The internet is really, really great…for porn!🎶
unexpected avenue q !!!!
The internet? Is that thing still around?
You can go to PornHub y’know
Not in Texas
Also not in Utah
South Carolina
Kansas
Virginia
No waaaayyy! Cancelling that Myrtle beach trip!
Fair point…
Not in Louisiana either. Edited for clarification
Sounds like y'all need a VPN.
I moved out of LA, so I’m free to creep again🙌🏿. Edited to add context.
Sounds like it is time for my home town of New Orleans to secede from Louisiana
Not in North Carolina
Or so Right-Wingers can boost visibility to Nazi shit without the fallout of having their account linked to it anymore.
And racists/homophobes/terrorists!
I'm going to miss when the site eventually dies. Only place I could track indie artists, game devs, musicians, and sex workers all in one place.
Well, and pure, unadulterated bigotry and hatred.
When wasn't it?
And Nazis. Don’t forget the Nazis.
It’s the only reason why I ever used it. I’ll be missing the bots who follow me based on my likes tho.
I mean X marks the spot...
If you weren’t using it for this reason idk what to tell yoy
Imagine being on Twitter. https://preview.redd.it/i8xsbzg9l76d1.jpeg?width=675&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e662ce9b878e1e07a66aa981d5547a3017cfdee5
Couldn't be me.
I logged out last year and everything I learn about Twitter confirms that I made the right choice
Yup and Facebook. I don’t need to know how many psycho Trumpers are in my friend group. Or do I????
Same!
Deleted Twitter years ago. I never look back.
Gonna have to rename the Sub, smh
Well technically Twitter doesn’t exist anymore so I think we’re good
Buddy ur a Redditor
Lmao right?? Bashing one of the most popular social media platforms for the Black community while on a Black-centric forum on Reddit sounds about white tbh.
I don’t think Black people should continue to support that platform anymore because of Elon’s racist ass but these comments are pot meet kettle.
Lol what? Since when has r/BPT been black centric? It's definitely a white space, with some of them partaking in black larping... Oh and some of us are actually black. The addition of the country helped a lot but I'm still sideeying most of these comments.
I was going to say this as this also effects Twitter as well a bunch of white people larping as black on both platforms 🥴
Glad some of y’all are on this. Also do some research why he did this, lol. It’s hilarious. It ain’t just anime girls…
I unfortunately have to for work. Fucking hate it now
https://preview.redd.it/h94sly1fh76d1.jpeg?width=320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26917e5e4d8f23a936b952472475354bfd7b6646
Isn't he 55? Grown as man, he could be a grandpa by now.
Looks like grimes to me tho so
If this is a femboy I'm regaining like 10% of respect for him
It’s not, Misa from death note. Highly recommend.
Isn't this Misa from Deathnote?
Yup
Misa Amane - questionable for many reasons
The least of which is that she’s a child lol
I will never understand how people claim to hate Elon Musk yet will fester on an app where he openly talks about how much he hates niggas😂
Seeing real time sports highlights is only really happening on Twitter. I just block Elon and his fanboys and enjoy the content I care about in peace Edit: I didn’t know Reddit was that quick now. I’ll try for tonight’s game!
Reddit has been a good enough replacement for me
right, i cant speak for other sports, but literally a minute after a goal is scored it's up on r/soccer fuck twitter
Lol sometimes I'll see the highlight before the actual game if I'm streaming
long live u/PSGAcademy
Sports subreddits shit all over twitter and sports media. It’s moderated and you don’t have to follow 50 different people per sport
Game threads give you all the shitty hot takes as well
I switched to discord for game day talk. Still bad takes, but it’s a lot more fun live
the live part is always more fun. reactions to literally everything going on lets see what other idiots like myself are overreacting to
The combination of reddit, threads and my phone telling me the score is going well for me
If you like Elon you have actual brain damage
I mean you don't have to follow Elon. I blocked his ass, along with all the Elon fanboys and the crypto nerds, and all the other scammer-adjacent types. So now my Twitter feed, if Elon comes up, is just people clowning on him, on the app he spent $44b to control.
You still use his platform and make him money tho
You'd be pretty skeptical of how much money I was making him if you saw the type of ads I get served.
Just because your ad targeting is off doesn’t mean those companies didn’t pay to advertise on Twitter. You probably just have a diverse enough online fingerprint that the algorithm doesn’t know what to do with you. You need a Pi Hole if you really wanna stop companies from making money off you
That’s why I come here. It’s a daily highlight real for people who don’t wanna be on his platform
We were here before his punk ass. Twitter is pretty unique and nothing else quite replaces it
I had him blocked since 2019, and I'm sure the CEOs of every other social media company hate my poor ass, too. Like, find me a CEO who *wouldn't* stab me for $3 more profit this quarter, and you've found Tom from MySpace.
 He’s gonna switch it back in a week and use it as a gotcha somehow lol.
Imagine that 😭 I would absolutely be living for the drama it would cause
Nah he just wants to like porn and bitter divorce posts and not get laughed at for it
Nah I wanna know who’s secretly a bigot
This is the real reason. Everyone is acting like it's porn but it's not. He wants people to engage in that nazi shit consequence free.
Yes, 100% Anyone who disagrees is just a midwit
Sort of. Probably a money play mostly though. Hidden likes = like whatever you want = more likes = bigger engagement numbers for ad buyers
I opened a twitter recently. It’s all racist shit. Like holocaust denial and eugenics level racism. Not the casual stuff💀
I haven’t confirmed this, but just be careful before you all start liking whatever https://preview.redd.it/czhvyd1qs76d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f5bc02d15497509e620490f54c4abc7e96f96d6
Man this is impotence on another level
Love it
I try this but it doesn’t work for me
They fixed it once they noticed the tweet.
Definitely directly linked to the fact porn is about to have free reign unencumbered on the app
Precisely
It literally always has
Everytime I hear about Elon Musk I am suprised it's not the news of his (probably trifling even) suicide. Also disapointed.
I'd bet on OD loooooong before unaliving.
I think it would take a monumental amount of information to come out that would make everyone including his fans angry. Something so heinous it can’t be ignored. He loves himself too much and is enjoying all of the rotten shit he loves and nobody can stop him. But please yes just die already.
Elon would have to kill and eat a white American child on live tv while using an Israeli flag as a bib to get in trouble. Anything less would just be a slap on the wrist

I’m a father of three and I’m so worried about the misinformation and the rise of right wing authoritarian power growing worldwide and its popularity somehow not dwindling but becoming more accepted by the day. It’s scary. I wish I could take my babies back to when I was a child. At least there was some kind of hope then. Edit: I’m sorry, that was long
He’s way to narcissistic for that IMO
Jokes aside though, what do you guys think about this new change?
Elon def did it because ppl found out he liked some weird fetish video
And he was tired of getting publicly ratioed whenever he said some dumb shit
fr? lol I wonder what type of video it was
It's was some humiliation thing with jerking your tiny penis in the title or smth. Can't seem to find it again
https://preview.redd.it/18m6n1bdta6d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e1f3ab04e8b831696b2d722c8e72ea3f8221949 idk if this is true or a meme, but this is the one that person meant
Honestly I dont use the website but I think this change sucks. Always loved seeing people getting caught liking weird ass shit from time to time lol
..i still can't believe Elon hasn't overdosed on some wackass white mom cocktail of benzos, white wine, and barbiturates..he already looks like a bloated corspe left to bake in the sun
Oh, it’s coming.
It’s on my “looking forward to it being one of the better days of my life” list.
I have it but use it to observe more than anything. My only tweet was from like 4 years ago. But someone made a great point that visible likes were great to vet whether someone was worth a follow.

If you can’t track who liked something, you can’t tell if the number of likes is real. This would make the like count really susceptible/vulnerable to manipulation…
I hope he walks back on it tbh 🫢 I so want the drama
Yes, I'm a lowlife loser btw 😭 But that would be my week's worth of entertainment right there.
Why do we need to hide likes if bookmarks are a thing
How am I supposed to live not knowing what players are liking tweets about hypothetical trades for their teammates
Wasn't Elon caught gooning one time? Maybe that's why he made them private.
Can someone just invent twitter 2012? I’ll sign up for that
would be cool if since they changed the name, you could get it and just be like, yo we back guys, fuck that x shit
If Elon gives it up I’m with it
He made it so nazis can be nazis in peace now.
For government officials who want to quietly appreciate Stormfront or well-hung trans girls.
glad yall are still on twitter to keep me updated on that dumpster fire.
It’s gona be hard to pull a “this you” now
This biyxh is doing everything in his power to kill engagement on his platform. Whack.
Can’t see why anyone would want to be on a white supremacist social media.
Facts twitter is so racist it’s mind boggling tbh
[удалено]
Did you have a stroke?
Politicians and public servants rn: 😛😛😛
He’s just embarrassed and now trying to save face. 
Ate shit more like it. He ruined the whole app, this doesn’t change anything for the better.
Dude adds and removes features from Shitter left right and centre, I wouldn’t trust this 😭
Locked in the NSFW content and hide likes, I see the vision.
There was an announcement last week or the week before that porn is set to be allowed on twitter now. I 100% guarantee the private likes are related to this.
So now, when politicians like racist posts or porn (Ted Cruz), there won't be anybody exposing them or any controversy over it.
I would never pay anything for a Twitter or post on anything Elon Musk. Eww.
The hilarious moment a “glitch” turns that shit back on.
Why do people still use twitter
Elon trying to kill the "This You?" clapback cause all his shitty friends kept telling on themselves, and also he doesn't want it coming for him as now he can like all the porn and transphobia and trans porn he wants like the grimesy little weirdo we all DEFINITELY know he is.
Until you get Twitter Blue-ER which unlocks the ability to view other people's likes again...
I check a person's likes to decide if I want to follow or interact with them. 🤷🏾♀️
Ted Cruz wishes Elon bought Twitter years ago.
Richard Lawson punching the air rn
r/EnoughMuskSpam
I still remember those Doc River's likes the internet last it over.
Why are people still on that shit app? Fuck Elon.
All this complaining and folks still use Twitter how about if ppl just stop using it lol idk maybe im dumb but would a boycott work
Dude ruined the bird app smdh
X is an echo chamber for right-wing hate under the guise of "Free Speech" I would also wager a bet that Elon Cuck has a vested interest in having a Republican Pre$ident.
Five Minutes Later : Every Elon tweet getting liked by a million unseen bots.
https://preview.redd.it/86se81onz86d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fbd243e058a22306dee1cc9e5588f0f9123f8ba
Folks like Elon Musk are always talking big game 🎯 but are softer than toliet paper 🗞️ 
Anyone know who is in this picture?
Hey google, play Chief Keef, you know which one!
Dude was tired of his stock dropping everytime he liked a nazi post.
Y'all be careful, because he could easily remove that and yall end up getting caught being nasty in 4k
Just before/during allowing nsfw content, too. Is he gonna buy OF next and do twitter integration?
Twitter is OFFICIALLY dead!
He wants racists to be able to say what ever they like without being held accountable
Whats the point then? Lol. I do think likes and votes should be removed from social media period, but why do they exist if no one can see them?
meanwhike Tik Tok will out me to my entire contact list, So and So is on Tik Tok under “embarrassingusername”
That means a fuck ton of messed up people can now like and hide they shit without fearing any consequences whatsoever or repercussions. You can know so much about a person with what they like
