I’d like to remind people that @elonmusk was my hero for many years (2012-2018) that I defended ruthlessly without doing my due diligence & I regret it deeply. The real man is nothing like the carefully curated persona & backstory he put forth to sell electric cars & pretend to care about climate change.
I’ll go into more detail on my next livestream for those of you that are interested. But, I wanted to make sure you all at the very least know that I’m not just “mad” at Elon Musk for no good reason. I genuinely see him as a huge threat to our democracy here in the United States and sadly people like me helped enable him to get into a position where he can’t be held accountable & can quite literally get away with anything.
So anything that I can do to help inspire others into researching the man using avenues he doesn’t control (yet) is a good thing. Because the hold he has on people is very dangerous and now he unilaterally controls a huge conduit of information and news that so many people take for granted not understanding the difference between when it was public versus private as it is today. They don’t understand the things he can legally do that the average person would assume is illegal and never give a single thought to. It’s these things that allow him to steer narratives and control outcomes by manipulating people using their own information against them to manipulate them.
Elon knows the new gold mine is personal data and he knows why that data is so valuable when used in concert with news and communication. It makes it a lot easier to automate the process of indoctrination and seeding false narratives and misinformation by making people think there are mechanisms for checks and balances but not telling
people that they don’t apply to him. He’s still telling people the algorithm is open
Source despite the code being over 10 months old since last update when thousands of changes have occurred in that time.
It’s that false sense of security that makes people think that he has to tell the truth and he’s placed checks and balances on everyone including himself but we’re supposed to think that when it’s not true at all. Quite the opposite actually.
