This seems to give Elon Musk a big pass on treating his company--the staff, the users, the community--like garbage.
The rest of us wouldn't get that pass.

While casting shade on @elonmusk for what he’s done, is doing, or will do, try to pause & remember that he made electric cars a normal thing in society and he commercialized space — for cargo, satellites, & people.
Count him among those who are inventing civilization’s future.

It’s a healthy sign when one social network blocks links to another one, that’s how Friendster totally stifled Facebook.

What strikes me most about the people who claim to be the most iconoclastic thinkers, the people who say they question everything and trust no one is that they are so often the ones engaging in group think and regurgitating canned lines.

All my life I’ve tried to use music to bring people together. Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world.
I’ve decided to no longer use Twitter, given their recent change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked.

I just want to make a few things clear:
The Holocaust happened.
Hitler was a demonic figure.
And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides.
Silence is complicity.

There is no possible explanation for Twitter allowing Kanye West - AKA Ye - to post this Swastika inside a star-of-David. This would not be allowed in most of the world.
