Musk Report Vol 4

Musk Report Vol 4

~The Mugk Eeport- Scrutinizing the Inscrutable Oo Elon Musk © For Twitter to deserve public trust, it must be politically neutral, which effectively means upsetting the far right and the far left equally QO Mehdi Hasan © Put aside the simplistic nature of this claim for a moment & focus on the fact that the far right in America is a guy banned from Twitter for inciting violence, and backed by Nazis & QAnon, while the far left is an old guy from Vermont who wants everyone to have free healthcare So here's some of Musk’s left versus right sentiment regarding Twitter, and a pretty slick response from an obviously intelligent observer. This is hardly a justification for letting people like Donald Trump and all the other bad actors back on the site. But it really sounds like that’s what he wants to do. So once again | find myself wondering, just how all this will encourage a healthy conversation. | also wonder what it will do to the number of people who use Twitter and are happy about all the hate- speak that has been banned over the last year. The more | look at this and read about it, the more | start to think that maybe Musk has some other motive for coughing up 44 billion on a business that isn't making money from advertising and is just barely in the top 10 when it comes to the number of users it has. Hopefully we'll find out soon.

A Sure Sign Of Spring

Jim Murray · Went outside this morning to do my walking and noticed that this was on my mailbox. These birds must have worked all night on this. Hope they got paid overtime. We think they're Robins. I carefully moved the nest to another location.
