Elon Musk takes over Twitter

“Interview” is a word. Not sure it applies to the Smelvis and Elmo show.

 

TFG sounds like Daffy Duck.

That's some high-quality Starmaning.

Elon looks like tech bro Mao Zedong.

 

Well if you go cosplaying as Chairman Mao
You ain't gonna steal our election anyhow

 

Maybe Elon should focus on what his companies are doing, rather than RTing catturd and "interviewing" a presidential candidate.

I always thought Stephen Miller’s comeuppance would be pretty sweet but Elon’s will be cataclysmic.

Maybe it makes me anti-free speech, but my gut reaction is that I don't have a problem with a government trying to limit the potential spread of misinformation - even via satire or memes - during an unprecedented and unpredictable global pandemic.

And I don't have much of a problem with a communication platform restricting the spread of a news item out of concern over a potential misinformation campaign designed to impact free and fair elections.

I recognize that there are ethical issues with both stances and that such actions are fraught with potential problems. But I'm also quite convinced that the anything goes approach to social media doesn't work and is actually quite harmful to a productive society.

There needs to be guide rails and structure to social media. Figuring that out is going to have some missteps.

 

Yeah, this isn’t the smoking gun Batman thinks it is. If it were, it wouldn’t be coming from the GOP judiciary committee.
