“Prominent liberals like former Labor Secretary Robert Reich were up in arms about the prospect that mega-billionaire Elon Musk might purchase controlling interest in Twitter and change the social media site’s policies about banning content deemed “misleading” or “inflammatory.” The idea that actual free speech might be brought back to Twitter is apparently unthinkable for Reich and his ilk.
Jimmy and American comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the threat of free speech to authoritarians on the left.”
“In this unedited conversation with head of TED Chris Anderson, Elon Musk digs into the recent news around his bid to purchase Twitter and gets honest about the biggest regret of his career, how his brain works, the future he envisions for the world and a lot more.”
Well…he knows what the definition and principle of free speech is…Does he have the true conviction to put it into real world action?
“Twitter employees aren’t just stressed that Elon Musk owns over 9% of the company. They’re, like, SUPER stressed. And now they’re consoling each other.”
“Elon Musk wants ALL of Twitter. And if they don’t sell, he said he will have to reconsider his investment. Twitter is melting down at the prospect of Musk taking Twitter private, and many bluechecks are threatening to leave. Maybe they’ll all move to Canada or something.”
“Breaking News: Elon Musk makes a host of promises while offering $41 billion to buy twitter such as reinstating Donald Trump’s twitter account. Is Elon Musk the free speech advocate we need right now? Probably not.”
Sure…but this is a ton of fun to watch unfold!
If he does take ownership, I just want to know where to contact, to petition for the full restoration of my @EQFoundation account.
Get the stooges out of there…and we’ll see what happens.
This couldn’t have happened to a more deserving platform of abusive a-holes.
When you’ve been unjustly screwed over this bad…it’s all just a shit show to set back and watch…I don’t have any real stake in it, anymore…
…At most, maybe I could openly return and freely use the platform, and MAP related hashtags…Maybe, there would be a wonderful sense of freedom, and finally a return of integrity and respect…Maybe I could resume some of my project lists there…and vindicate myself, by bringing my historic twitter activity back out into the open again…where people can judge it, for what it factually is.
…Maybe I could actively converse with the population again…like I used to…like twitter allegedly exists for.
“As Chinese people wail from tower blocks and state-controlled social media increasingly control the narrative around science and war – how close are we getting to authoritarianism?”
