Elon Musk - what’s his plan?

[Thereissomelight]

Having been accused of antisemitism, Elon, the free-speech champion, spent today in the company of Netanyahu watching videos of Hamas atrocities and hearing about Netanyahu’s vision for the Middle East.
I have (I thought) a lot of respect for Elon. Does he have a plan for world peace? Did the US ask him to intervene? (as clearly, despite being “anti-Semitic”, he has the ear of Netanyahu).
Or is he simply bowing to the consumer and trying to keep his numbers up on X? I hope not, but what are peoples’ views?

Here is one of many accounts of his interactions with the ADL.

I'm looking forward to watching Musk try to sue the ADL for saying things he doesn't like, and which no one has any evidence of, while still pretending to be pro freedom of speech.

I wonder if Soros will sue Musk for saying Soros "hates humanity" and comparing him to Jewish cartoon villain?

There are many extreme views on X - it’s the major downside of free speech.

But the only group Musk seemed to have an ongoing issue with was the ADL.

Actually he's threatening to sue another anti-hate speech group as well, for using twitter data in their research (and to shut them up):

He is a James Bond villain.

The words I quote are the ones that Musk said are "the actual truth".

In several interviews, Musk has said his endorsement was related to the part of the poster’s comment that said that Jews were pushing the hatred against whites that they claimed was being pushed against them.

And how is that not anti-Semitic?

Although given your previous comment about how you thought all Israelis think the same way, it's not surprising you think all Jewish people think the same too.

You’ve deliberately left out Musk’s subsequent posts.

Anyway, I’m glad he is trying to push back on attempts to shut down free speech platforms.

Especially now, when thousands of innocent children are being murdered and thousands more bereaved, injured and homeless, while international witnesses are being denied entry to Gaza and journalists within Gaza are being killed in high numbers.

You've deliberately not explained how saying "Jews were pushing the hatred against whites that they claimed was being pushed against them" is not any
antisemitic.

That's what he agreed with, even if he has since tried to backtrack. Because Musk does whatever he thinks will benefits him in the current moment. He doesn't give a fuck about Israelis and Gazans or anyone not named Elon Musk.

Yep, obscenely rich billionaires don’t have to answer to anyone or anything, and can sue anyone who disagrees with them into oblivion. Amazing, go Elon! Feudalism is the best!

Very few people are rich enough to stand up to the relatively small group of very wealthy men who use their influence to decide who will lose jobs and businesses on their say so

Elon Musk is literally one of “a relatively small group of very wealthy men who use their influence to decide who will lose jobs and business on their say so”. How on earth are you viewing the richest man in the world as a plucky little underdog? He was born a multi-millionaire, he is now a multi-billionaire.

Why hate someone simply because they’re rich?

As I said, most people who need jobs and income can’t stand up to cancelling by a small number of the Uber-rich. Like him or not, Elon Musk IS rich enough to defend free speech for all and he is doing it.

Other platforms, eg Facebook, unfortunately not doing so well.

It’s important, as no journalists are allowed into Gaza and dozens of journalists reporting on the thousands of innocent children being killed have themselves been killed. Social media is the only way the Gazans can report on what happening in there.

Personally I dislike the extremism seen on social media from all sides. Dealing with it is complicated and a project to be addressed going forward. But any censorship should not be one-sided.

Lol, no one hates him because he's rich.

Poor persecuted billionaire. 🎻

Do you love him because he's rich, op?

No, that would be as ridiculous as what you just said about people hating him because he's rich.

He's a powerful, obnoxious white supremacist who posts far right memes and impregnates white women because he believes in anti-jewish conspiracy theories. That's a good enough reason to dislike him imo.

So do you agree with "the actual truth", that - in your words - Jews were pushing the hatred against whites?

What is the relevance of your question?

Do YOU think that X and other free speech platforms should be threatened with loss of revenue unless they only allow free speech from certain political viewpoints?

This thread is about Elon Musk. That is what Elon Musk agreed with.

So are you going to answer or...?

This question was asked earlier in the thread and I answered it. Asking it again won’t change the answer.

Constant pointless defection and derailing to avoid the deeper issues.

Which are that Israel is killing thousands and thousands of innocent children and there are no journalists allowed to enter and many journalists in Gaza have been targeted and killed.

So Gazans post footage on free speech platforms such as X. And lo and behold, Elon feels that there are attempts being made to make X unviable as a platform for free speech.

Where? I don't see an answer.

Look harder. I’m not your secretary.

No need to be rude. I looked. You have never said whether you agree with that statement. It's a yes or no question.

No it’s not a yes or no answer. How would I know whether it’s true or not? IS it true??

Elon has publicly accused the ADL of trying to interfere with free speech on X. If THAT is true it’s quite a serious accusation, given that Israel has barred or murdered any journalists trying to report on the thousands of innocent children being murdered in Gaza. The Gazans, in the absence of journalists on the ground, depend upon being able to post their own footage to social media. So it’s pretty disgusting to think that there are people in the US who would set out to block this.

What do YOU think about it all? Is Elon correct? And if so, is this suppression of free speech a disgusting thing to do?

Above is the question already asked and responded to.

Please don’t derail the thread again by asking repeated pointless unanswerable questions.

That's not an answer, that's a refusal to answer. You are the one who said "In several interviews, Musk has said his endorsement was related to the part of the poster’s comment that said that Jews were pushing the hatred against whites that they claimed was being pushed against them.". That kind of implies you understand what it means. If you can't say that you don't think Jews are pushing hatred against whites then your answer is very much implied.

Sorry, I know you only wanted this thread to be about how super duper Elon Musk is and not the anti-Semitism your idol likes to endorse.
