And based on what's happened the past 48 hours on Twitter... think forward
Imagine - say - Washington Post revealed abuse of workers at a Tesla plant in Shanghai
What would happen?
Would it be dealt with fairly? Now I really doubt it. The reporter(s) would get blocked, and links to the story flagged.
Twitter is no longer a reliable and predictable place for news and the first take on the news.
Washington Post would never publish anything like that because it belongs to Jeff Bezos (Amazon). Workers are treated badly there so they would cut into their own flesh. WP is not a reliable source of information anyway.
All big Media belong to Billionaires. They decide what's in the news and what's open for discussion and what's not.
@sarahlehmann You've spectacularly missed the point.
Happily substitute any large-ish newspaper into the tweet, problem is the same - if Musk doesn't like it, it could summarily get blocked.
@jon understand that. No newspaper will report anything against the will of billionaires in fear of Twitter blocking it. For example an article in favor of fair taxes for the rich.
But all these Newspapers belong to the rich anyways.
