#DeadBird
Thread by Twitter's ex-Director for Civic Integrity:
Musk is a poster child for divisive racist, sexist, and plutocratic tendencies that undermine democracy’s commitment to equality for all.
No amount of hand-waving can hide what Musk is doing.
Destroying Twitter’s value is the tell: It’s not about the money.
It’s worse.
P.S., from the above thread on the #DeadBird
This isn’t a story about “free speech” v. “censorship.”
It’s a story about who gets to wield the power of speech — & a cautionary tale of how massive private wealth enables an immature man[child] to selectively elevate those who reject democracy’s bedrock value:
Equality.
@Bix I also have a suspicion that destroying Tik Tok actually has little to do w/ its Chinese ownership, especially with Mnuchin sniffing around. Destruction and fragmentation of the forces of play / resistance
@Bix
Musk and Zuckerberg are the most powerful and dangerous people on the planet.
Their algorithms mold the public discussion and that precedes and drives government actions
