How Elon Musk Went from Superhero to Supervillain

Jill Lepore reviews Walter Isaacson’s new book, about a founder of Tesla and SpaceX and the owner of the social-media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.

The New Yorker

On this #Ukraine #StarLink incident?

Walter Isaacson simply chronicled what #Elmo is best at:

* blowing and sucking at the same time *

X “unfit” for banking because of complicity in Saudi spying, lawyers argue

Read the letter urging regulators to end Musk’s dream of turning X into a bank.

Ars Technica
And then Elon Musk said there’ll be no more war – not via his satellite. Aren’t we lucky to have the world in his hands?

The tech deity reportedly shut down his Starlink system to foil a Ukrainian attack. Is he the guiding force we need right now? asks Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

The Guardian

Sadly, this is *exactly* what #Elmo wants:

He's intentionally ‘baking’ fascist rage & conflict (using ‘enragement engagement’) into X platform to ensure it’s infused & normalized into 17 yr #Twitter #DataSet (he & MBS privately own)
👆
The fuel for future, private #AI services

He needs the hate
He's optimizing it

Civil rights groups attacked by Elon Musk are mounting a counteroffensive

Anti-hate groups and civil rights organizations vowed this week to strengthen their resolve against hate speech on social media, saying they would not be intimidated by threats of lawsuits from tech billionaire Elon Musk.

NBC News

This is #Elmo’s way of cooking the #Twitter/X dataset to ensure hateful, ultra right wing supremacist keystrokes, words, pics, links & thoughts are included + *normalized* into the #PersonalData fuel that will eventually power Musk/MBS/X branded private #AI services.

Elon Musk 'likes' trending #BanTheADL posts as white supremacist ad runs on platform

Anti-Semitic rhetoric has been especially rampant on the platform over the past 24 hours.
