Musk Admits He Doesn't Fact-Check Himself and Has Two Burner Accounts on Twitter
New defamation suit against Elon Musk over tweets reveals how the billionaire spreads misinformation and lurks on secret Twitter accounts.
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
He says what he feels and its not always factually correct. Sounds like a human to me. If people believe everything he says thats on them.
It’s a problem when it’s defaming someone.
He owns the platform and actively dismantled fact checking and moderation. Your point is shit.
Wait, you're saying its not possible for people to call him out for being wrong on X?
Found your alt account, Elon, nice try.
He is deliberately using his celebrity status as an avenue to spread disinformation and promote his personal agenda in a public forum. The public that he is attempting to manipulate that occupy said forum have every right to ridicule and criticize his attempts.
Not everyone is able to purchase a popular social media platform in an effort to enhance the visibility and normalization of their beliefs.
If his questionable opinions "sound human to you," then so should the public response that they create.
What makes you think he is deliberately spreading disinformation?
He says what he feels. It is a responsibility for the people to not take everything he says as fact. Its like talking to a friend who says some wild shit to get it off their chest. Doesn't mean you need to change your opinion because of it.
I see the theoretical idea of him intentionally trying to shape the opinion of his sheep enough to do what he wants for him. But I don't personally buy it. Albeit it is good to be aware of the possibility.
OK pedo guy.
He says what he feels.
We call people like this with zero filter who constantly attack and insult others "Assholes"
Most people don't behave like this. And it's really no excuse for him spewing shit unfiltered. this is a terrible defense.
Telling his advertisers that if they don't like that he allows antisemitism and hatred on X, to fuck off, in person in an auditorium is not "human". it's disgusting and evidences that He himself believes in spreading hatred as long as it makes him rich/powerful

this isn't how you run a business. (unless you're perfectly fine with spreading hatred)
