When a Shitposter Runs a Social Media Platform Bad news for democracy: Elon Musk loves to promote fringe figures and to denigrate responsible journalists. https://www.thebulwark.com/elon-musk-when-a-shitposter-runs-a-social-media-platform/
Be sure to set your DVR for CNBC tonight at 6PM est. David Faber is gonna interview him for an hour. I wanna hear what he has to say about the evils of AI. That, and why Joe didn't invite him to the great EV Summit. What a slight. He's done more for the Green movement than any person alive. Anybody can talk, talk, talk... but he built a $500B car company that to date has put over a million cars on the road that aren't belching out carbon emissions. Typical political bs imo.
he told the Turkish Minute that Erdogan’s government has tried to throttle his reach any way that it can: “It was made impossible to find my videos when people searched for them on YouTube in Turkey. Now comes the Twitter decision. Facebook has already been blocking my videos for the past two years.”
Are other platforms claiming to be "free speech absolutists"? Elon Musk, “free speech absolutist,” complied with more than 800 government requests Musk attacked for censoring Turkish opposition — but that's just one example of Twitter’s deference to government https://www.salon.com/2023/05/16/el...plied-with-more-than-800-government-requests/
Elon putting a great team and a great company together and is almost done moving all the deadwood out. Which is 80% of the company. Elon stopped being a democrat, thus he is targeted and treated as an enemy now by the democrats. It is how they roll.
Give him time. He said in his interview tonight that's the reason he is requiring a valid phone# and a credit card for TWTR. So his AI and "Community Notes" (whatever that is) can eliminate the bs.
He also addressed some post he made about phsyops regarding one of these mass shootings. He explained why he said it. Apparently it was a controversial Tweet. Not sure if you brought that up in this thread or not, but you might want to watch the interview to see what he was referring to. Faber did a good job with the questions.
