Amazing. When I checked this story (about #Musk getting #booed on stage at a #Chappelle gig) a couple of hours ago it had 3 embedded #Twitter videos of the booing on it. Since then Musk has had all 3 removed and had the account that posted them deleted —not suspended, deleted—completely.

There's no longer any pretence of it being a free, pluralistic platform.

[Update: Musk did not delete the account. They deactivated. They're now back, and have posted the below.]

Elon Musk Gets Viciously Booed by Stadium Crowd at Dave Chappelle Show

“You shut the fuck up,” Chappelle said as the crowd booed the billionaire.

@hughster Watching Musk, I learned about how people with power turn into tyrants (or monsters).

Power does not corrupt. It reveals.

When you get enough power to do whatever you want, people see what kind of person you were all along.

Musk did't just change into a douchebag. He was a douchebag all along, but he didn't have the power to flex about it.

...Musk had the $$$$$$$ all along --he just didn't have the BIG platform to exert his total control...

#ACCOUNTABILITY is long overdue
