Musk Acquired Twitter: Part Deux

Not only should one person not have this much influence, but the way online mobs incite violence must be addressed.

I have no idea how we can address that, though. Open to hearing y'alls thoughts.

Freedom of speech as set out in the First Amendment was aimed at unlimited speech against the government, not to say anything I want because of "mah rats". Let's start there.

100% get that, but I cannot imagine the push-back and lawsuits that would tie any legislation up.

The European Union has vowed to permanently shut down X if Elon Musk doesn’t immediately ban alternative media from the platform.
Because EU won’t survive with free speech.

Has anybody heard anything about this?

I tried to follow the X link, but didn't really get an article. I would be interested in their definition of alternative media. I'm not a fan of a government deciding what disinformation is and then banning it. What happens when you have a government that wants to call the truth disinformation? We have already seen that here in this country. I'm going to try and find an article.

Free speech has met its match with unlimited unfiltered lies overpowering fact-based truth-seeking speech. The truth will never as far as fast as a lie...

I'm certain this is not a person I would be looking to for valid information.

She has, let's say, a very troubling resume.

Meaning, of course, she's an anti-Semite (and anti-vax to boot) and delves heartily in conspiracy theories.

YMMV.

Elon Musk Did Drugs With Tesla Board Members: Report

Elon Musk has a history of consuming drugs with his business associates, including members of Tesla’s board, raising questions about their ability to operate independently from the erratic mogul, The Wall Street Journal reported over the weekend. Witnesses and sources familiar with the matter told the newspaper, which previously reported on Musk’s extensive drug use, that at least three directors have used illicit substances alongside him. Others said they feel pressured to consume drugs with Musk out of fear of the billionaire’s ire.

If you read the article the it says lots of western tech is finding its way into the Russian arsenal via third party’s evading sanctions. Thats the mostly likely source. I know the left is dying to destroy the guy but this isn’t gonna do it.

And I know the unbiased folk will defend him to the death, but there should be an investigation if they are getting this tech to use of=n the battlefield.

I posted because it seemed interesting and relevant.

Post whatever you want. That’s how it works. Will you call for the investigation of other companies that have tech the Russians have somehow gotten their hands on or is it just musk you are interested in? The article was very clear in stating this is happening with more than starlink. Musk gains nothing from helping Russia. He would really have a lot to lose. It makes no sense for him to sell this stuff to Russia and break the sanctions.
