I thought @elonmusk’s interview with @andrewrsorkin was one of the great interviews ever. Musk is a free speech absolutist which I respect. I think he is entirely correct that he and @X are treated unfairly and inconsistently by advertisers.

@tiktok_us @instagram @facebook and others have enormous amounts of problematic content, antisemitic and otherwise, but the advertisers don’t boycott those platforms.

Musk is targeted because the other media organizations view @X as a competitor and any time his name is in an article about controversies, it draws clicks. MSM is incentivized to attack him as it actually drives attention to their sites and therefore more revenues. It is these attack articles by other media organizations that put pressure on the @Disney’s of the world to stop advertising on X.

If Bob Iger would carefully examine the facts, he would likely continue to advertise on X, but Disney caves to public pressure rather than do the right thing. Meanwhile Disney invests heavily on TikTok, likely alongside videos of kids teaching other teenagers to be anorexic and worse. I am sure Nelson Peltz can fix this when he joins the Disney board.

X presents the opportunity for advertisers to access an incredible global audience that is not available elsewhere. And it is cheap compared to other alternatives because of current circumstances.

On Musk and antisemitism:

After examining the facts, it was clear to me that Musk did not have antisemitic intent when he responded with the ‘actual truth’ tweet, and further clarified thereafter.

I thought he made what he meant extremely clear in the @andrewrsorkin interview, namely, that Jews are drawn to support ‘oppressed’ groups and causes through various non-profits due to our history of being an oppressed minority.

Musk points out correctly that a number of these organizations and their members support Hamas. And he is correct in saying that Jews should rethink support for organizations that seek their elimination.

Many Jews are doing that right now.

To use a Muskism, Earth is fortunate that @X is owned by an individual that is largely insulated from financial and other influence. That said, perhaps some form of very carefully governed trust would be a better forever owner than any individual.

@PershingSqFdn invested in the Twitter privatization in support of free speech. Whether we make a profit on our investment is not important to us as we never intend to sell our interest.

I am more inclined to like and support companies that advertise on the platform because I appreciate their support for free speech. I have actually bought products I learned about from ads on @X. I can’t think of another example of my responding to direct advertising other than on X.

Unfortunately, recent (and society’s long-term experience) with non-profit governance, see @OpenAI, certain private universities etc. should not give anyone confidence that a traditional non-profit would be a better owner of X than Musk.

Perhaps some day the ownership of X should be distributed to each American, one share for each American during their lives and one for each person born, with a charter which permanently vests the free speech principles by which it operates.

Until then, we all should be grateful that X is owned by Musk.

Jonathan at ADL kicked off a massive Twitter boycott campaign less than a week after the acquisition closed.

Literally nothing had changed about the site.

Our US revenue is still 60% down from that campaign, but slowly improving.

Many people want to "Move On" from Covid, and I get it - I do too.

The thing is, We can't. There's no going back. We learned some things about Ordinary People, and we must discuss it.

Some people were scared, and some people were not. Those who were scared were willing to do to terrible things to those who were not.

Ordinary people called for the health insurance of other ordinary people to be canceled.

Ordinary people silenced some of the most highly trained and qualified physicians in the world, and other ordinary people championed the censorship.

Ordinary people were glad other ordinary people could not eat inside with them.

Ordinary people eagerly explained to other ordinary people that their child would not be receiving a life saving transplant due to their vaccination status.

Ordinary people cheered as Doctors, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Radiologists, and many other Healthcare Workers were fired, when they were called hero's months before.

Ordinary people cheered as blue color state employees were fired, when they were called "Essential" months before.

Ordinary people were angry when The Supreme Court stepped in and saved the jobs of many unvaccinated workers in the private sector.

Ordinary people shunned family members, and un-friended life long friends.

Ordinary people were un-invited from trips and kicked out of groups, clubs, and communities.

Ordinary people kept ordinary student athletes from competing due to vaccination status.

Probably the worst of all, ordinary people were coerced into injecting themselves with an unknown substance, that they didn't want, all under false pretenses, many of which had terrible or deadly reactions.

The list goes on an on, and so do the crimes against humanity.

Ordinary people became monsters, all because of fear.

Are you ordinary?

Do you live in fear?

Did you become a monster?

Let’s avoid making jokes about this guy. We can be better than that.

Indeed, we should remember that some suffer more from inflation than others.

And who did the due diligence for all these investors who put millions into FTX?

According to Blockworks, Bain & Co received over $100 million per year to research private companies for Tiger Global.

One of those companies was FTX.

Tiger invested $38 million into FTX.
