A reminder that Musk is using Twitter to massively amplify right-wing lies and extremism: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-jan-6-denial-twitter_n_64074f7ce4b018d7c56cd6a2

Also a reminder that Big Journalism refuses to understand why it is unconscionable to be supporting Musk's company.

Elon Musk Goes All In On Jan. 6 Denial

The Twitter owner reacted credulously to Tucker Carlson's selectively edited segments of Capitol security footage from the 2021 riot.

Any Musk company. Defund his companies. Hard with SpaceX but considering his sudden blocking of Starlink in Ukraine, his personal agenda should not be integral to national concerns. He's another Trump but with more than some golf courses.
@dangillmor It's not just Big Journalism
@dangillmor
Musk purchased Twitter just to have a social media platform for himself, allowing him to rant.
@dangillmor @[email protected] Musk may not be able to build a truck like Ford (or, you know, at all) but he’s on track to be a bigger asshole than Henry ever was.
@dangillmor I can count the number of people surprised by this on zero hands.
@dangillmor So leave…problem solved.
@dangillmor musk is so disappointing. He is exposed
@dangillmor "Big Journalism" is not a person. Please stop using that broad brush conflation that excuses the wrongdoers by denying their agency. Individual reporters here and there do it right. Painting with a broad brush encourages people who are already news-avoidant to stay away from democratic rituals and frankly, lapsed civic responsibilities.

@dangillmor what truly astounds me is that people are still trying to convince themselves that Musk has only just recently changed. I’m pretty sure Henry Ford didn’t just buy the Dearborn Independent one day and then thought, “you know, I think I’m going to start being a raging racist antisemitic nationalist.”
@dangillmor
They understand $$$$.
@dangillmor They ignore his bullshit at their own peril… like, aw he’s such a harmless wacky genius. Just wait.
@dangillmor One of his latests posts on the Capitol assault questioning Chansley’s 4-year prison sentence is simply appalling
