Elon Musk‘s erratic posting on X, formerly Twitter, has come back to haunt him once again as a 22-year-old Jewish man pursues a defamation case over tweets in which the tech mogul baselessly suggested the recent college graduate was an undercover federal agent posing as a neo-Nazi during a street fight between far-right groups. Musk’s excruciating March 27 deposition in the matter, which a judge ordered released to the public over the objections of the CEO’s lawyer, reveals the extent to which he has continually sabotaged both himself and the social media platform he owns.
If in this case the power allows democracy to function better through clearer and less muted digital freedom of speech, thats a better power than anything else. If thats what it takes to make the averages of society think a more unified, less biased and obscured thought again and regain its control over the real power that is greedy money to the few, then fuck it so be it.
Except he’s been caught many times banning and censoring left wing individuals and organizations while allowing literal nazis carte blanche and himself broadcasting fascist and racist viewpoints on the site.
this is such a fun image from the other day of Musk’s blatant hypocrisy and how his cult of personality has allowed his minions to ignore reality.
Yeah, that is a really bad look for Elon. I agree.
