In the age of disinformation, this is the most important episode of Last Week Tonight yet.

John Oliver uncovers how Elon Musk took over Twitter and began funding accounts who spread disinformation, creating movements that cause serious trouble in the real world based on Twitter falsehoods — even causing the Trump regime to launch security operations based on conspiracy theories invented by random Twitter users.

Late last year @Daojoan remarked that big tech lost the nine-year-olds because “that’s AI” signifies bullshit.

We need to add another phrase to our lexicon “ that’s Twitter”

Twitter’s chief attraction as a source of breaking news is gone. The reason to go is gone and the reason to leave is everywhere.
