I have some time now.
Recently Elon Musk called himself a first amendment absolutist and I give a hard no to that statement. Elon Musk makes a mockery of the first amendment.
I read recently that Twitter has had a change and removed him from his board. The are public officials who's opinions I respect and trust.
Where do I start? In regards to Elon Musk it's about power to determine what people can say especially about him.
No oligarch should have this much power and make no mistake about it Mr Musk is an oligarch and he has no right to have this much power over our democracy. Yes our democracy because Mr Musk was not born here I assume most of you know he's Australian.
For all of us who defend capitalism and yes I'm one of them we need to know that an oligarchy is not good for markets or freedom.
Isn't it obvious to anyone besides me that Mr Musk wants to use his money to silence his critics?
I mentioned above that Elon Musk makes a mockery of the first amendment. He said Trump shouldn't have been kicked off the internet he said tech companies "shouldn't be the arbiters of free speech." But he uses Twitter to silence his critics of which he has many. He also does it at Tesla with his employees.
And speaking of his employees he fired them when they tried to unionize. Tesla's has had record profits since the pandemic but the way the way their employees have been treated is inhumane.
I could go on and in detail but I'll stop here. No oligarch should have this much power over the internet and that's Elon Musk's goal.
And I am not ok with this.
