Political Tech Summit

Some of the chairs for the audience at this conference look like they were used in a school a few decades ago. This must be trendy or retro or something.

Last week, I was at the Wikimedia+Libraries convention in Mexico City, where a pressing theme was the battle against disinformation. Notably, Elon Musk was a topic of concern, especially with his public discouragement of donations to Wikipedia.

Fast forward to today at the Political Tech Summit in Berlin, and it's a similar story. Numerous speakers have cited Musk as a fountainhead of hate and disinformation.

Lots of people are talking about him, I guess this is what he wants.
