We've been saying this since June, and Elon Musk's tweet today is a reminder. Owning the libs is fun, but let's dial back the hero worship. While it's great that he brought back The Babylon Bee and Jordan Peterson, his announcement in doing so left a lot to be desired.
Dude, throttling (or reducing reach) is the problem. That the rest of the internet does it now IS the f*cking problem. They throttle what the EMPLOYEES OF THE COMPANY think are "negative" and/or 'hate." And more often than not it's defined by the Biden Administration.
We saw the leaked Slack messages over the summer about yeeting Libs of TikTok off of the platform. Elon saw them, too, because he commented and came to her defense.
People who work for Twitter, Facebook, etc. thought Hunter Biden's laptop, any question about election results, any question about a public health crisis, and getting the gender wrong of a Biden official were all "outrageous." Does Elon agree with limited reach for those opinions?
In June, Biden's climate advisor demanded Big Tech start censoring what she called "disinformation" about clean energy. Like, say, all of Joe Biden's policies that may or may not be causing skyrocketing gas prices. Or criticizing skyrocketing gas prices. Does Elon Musk, who owns an electric vehicle company, agree any of those "outrageous" opinions should have limited reach?
Who defines what's "negative" or "hate" not that Elon Musk takes control? The problem now is the people who define it now do so based on their ultra-radical woke political agenda and/or what their allies in the Democratic Party tell them.
He needs to clarify. Musk owning Twitter holds promise. It's not like the bird app can suck more, and I can't get enough of Ligma and Johnson. But it could wind up being "meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Just with more edgelord memes.
