Elon Musk controls Twitter. He is a right-wing extremist who actively engages in and promotes lies and loathing. He has made it clear, again and again, that he hates the press (unless it's favorable to him). As NBC News explains, his site welcomes Nazis. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/x-twitter-elon-musk-nazi-extremist-white-nationalist-accounts-rcna145020
All of which makes me ask again, with growing despair, why journalists continue -- by actively participating on Musk's site -- to actively support this evil man's business.
Verified pro-Nazi X accounts flourish under Elon Musk
Elon Musk’s X is a thriving hub for Nazi support and propaganda, with paid subscribers sharing speeches by Hitler or content praising his genocidal regime.David Ingram (NBC News)

in reply to Dan Gillmor • • •the answer is clear, though: so many folks using #Twitter are able to look past those naive, reductionist perspectives that obsess over Musk and instead consider the broader picture of how use of Twitter benefits their enterprises.
It’s a cut of the nose to spite the face situation to give up the benefits of using a platform just because you have a personal issue with the personality associated with it.
