A necessary one. The ideologues among the Tw leadership were doing a lot of harm to Western society (and therefore more generally to democracy and the rule of law). I hope Musk will be able to fix it now.
- JaimeThompson 5y agoIn instances where Musk has power to make speech more open and free when has he done so?
- coffeeblack 5y agoEvery time.
- JaimeThompson 5y agoI can't find any reporting to support that position, can you provide hints so I can review it?
- coffeeblack 5y agoWhen didn’t he?
- JaimeThompson 5y agoOne would think that you, having made the claim, could provide supporting evidence of said claim. He didn't make speech more open and free when he canceled a car order because someone pissed him off nor when he tried to get that flight tracker shut down.
- coffeeblack 5y agoProbably his security recommending it. He is building Starlink and refuses any form of censorship on there. He sent several containers full of terminals to Ukraine (responding within hours to request for help from the Ukrainian government) to restore connectivity as the country is being attacked by Russia. If you really believe those “he didn’t give one guy a car because he was pissed” propaganda stories, go ahead. People are easy to program.
- JaimeThompson 5y agoThey made it sound like Starlink was footing the entire bill to send them to Ukraine which wasn't factual. He said Starlink had been jammed in Ukraine then a few weeks later said it had never been jammed. Enlighten me, why did he cancel that car order?
- bmitc 5y agoYou mean the Elon Musk who just publicly body shamed someone because that person did something he didn’t like? Get ready for a wild ride where Twitter gets even worse, giving a megaphone to everyone like himself who wants attention.
- zarathustreal 5y agoThis is an interesting take because it seems to prefer either A) publicly visible attributes like weight should be ignored when giving your personal opinion on someone or B) you should not be allowed to give your personal opinion on someone. Regardless of his motivations for pointing it out, neglecting one’s health is entirely a personal choice. Are you advocating for less personal responsibility or less freedom to express one’s opinions? Let us take it for granted that people will disagree with us regardless of what we say, and let us also take for granted that we cannot control or take responsibility for the emotional stability of others. A disposition toward trying to control the emotions of others is not something I want to promote in the world.
- coffeeblack 5y ago…says the person who needs to call others “idiot” to get his point across.
- bmitc 5y agoYou're right, I shouldn't have used the word idiot and have updated my comment.
- tfigment 5y agoHe will change it to let all the toxic people back on. It will become worse and less pleasant and he will likely lose investors money ultimately but maybe not before he exits. We shall see.
- tiahura 5y agolet all the toxic people back on How about pivoting away from a system where shouting “toxic” is a means to silence uncomfortable speech, and to a system that gives users better tools to focus on what they’re looking for?
- coffeeblack 5y agoThe toxic people are currently on Tw while many interesting or funny people have been removed. Remember: diversity is better than conformity.
- CydeWeys 5y agoMusk is not the right person for this job. He simply lacks the skill set for it. Running a large social media platform requires nuance and tradeoffs.
