Elon Musk takes over Twitter

[Skybird]

I think he will wreak considerable havoc in the political landscape, and want to establish fake news as equal to evidence, so that the concept of an ultimate truth of last resort - the definition of "truth" - is completely destroyed. That, by the way, is the goal of the Russian propaganda ploy: to make any certainty about reality impossible through maximum confusion and then to push forward with their own narrative into the vacuum thus created. Also Trump - and those who follow him - does nothing else but exactly this.

Anyone who has read Musk's remarks on the foreign policy plan for Ukraine can easily calculate that only dangerous things can result from this low intellectual level. Musk should limit himself to what he is obviously good at: Run Tesla and Space X. But improving the world - well, he still has to do a lot of convincing for me. You have to remember that he is first and foremost an entrepreneur. And entrepreneurs primarily have entrepreneurial interests.

And how is that any different to what went on before he bought it. Legitimate news stories (Hunter Biden laptop), which turned out to be true were censored for political gain during an election cycle. Free speech is a tricky thing but accurate news reporting being censored is the direct opposite of free speech.

Now I know that in the past when people complained about it that the stock answer was, "well it is a private company and they can do what they want." Let's say that again for the record.

Once cash money is gone and public transportation demands an app instead of a paper ticket and authortiy interact with you onyl via onloine portals and apps...

Its coming, and more and more of this crap is already reality in more and more countries.

Its a damn pest.

The really discouraging thing is that many, especially younger ones who do not know it any different, even embrace the golden line being attached around their necks.

Dont be fooled by that it is golden and looks nice. Its unbreakable and can strangle you, if the hand holding the other end of this golden line wants it so.


And dont be fooled again. That hand at the other end of the line is not yours.
