As X’s owner and most followed user, Elon Musk has increasingly used the social media platform as a microphone to amplify his political views and, lately, those of right-wing figures he’s aligned with. There are few modern parallels to his antics, but then again there are few modern parallels to Elon Musk himself.
Overseas — where most X users live — he’s feuded with top officials in Australia, Brazil, the European Union and the U.K. over the balance between free speech and the spread of harmful misinformation. And he accused a political party in his native South Africa of “openly pushing for genocide of white people.”

Ah. So, kind of how “facebook = ‘the internet’” to a large swath of people in other countries.
Well. That’s bad.

Looks like someone didn’t get his cheque in the mail from Soros like the rest of us lefties.
The funny thing it’s a check isn’t even needed…
Is Soros in the room with us now?
Literacy hard. You will get there.
