The Pride community is under increasing threat of violence every day. Elon Musk, with his blatant transphobia and embrace of the extreme far right is making things far more unsafe for us every day. New rules were roled out today which worsen the situation significantly. 


            
                First, the new rules:
            
            
        

            
                This lays the foundation for Musk to free hate speech for maximum reach

                He will amplify hate groups like LibsofTikTok and ProudBoys
            
            
        1671056297

            
                The hypocrisy is outrageous 
            
            
        1671049702

            
                And it is about to get recklessly dangerous...

Not too soon after Grindr users reported that the phrase "no Zionists" triggers an error message when they try to put the phrase in the bio section of their profile, the app reversed its stance.
In a statement to Out, Grindr said that the policy change was "implemented following user escalations around its potentially inflammatory nature." However, a spokesperson for the app confirmed that they regularly examine its moderation policies and said that the company "recently decided to reverse this one upon review.”

While billionaire CEO Elon Musk has been busy quickly infiltrating every corner of the U.S. government, Tesla profits have been plummeting.
Musk’s increased visibility and connection to the Trump administration has been a popularity test that he seems to have failed — at least in Europe. The electric car company sold nearly 60% fewer cars in Germany last month than it did in the previous January.
