Following Elon’s threats to humanity over 24 hours

Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter appears driven by political motives to support Republican interests, benefiting him financially at the public’s expense. Musk’s changes to the platform, such as withdrawing from the EU’s Code of Practice on Disinformation and restructuring the verification system, have facilitated the spread of misinformation. This strategy aligns with his interests in promoting a Republican agenda that includes tax cuts favoring the wealthy. Musk’s actions, including reinstating banned accounts and posting misleading content, aim to sway public opinion toward candidates like Donald Trump, who supports policies that benefit Musk. By undermining democratic norms and spreading divisive rhetoric, Musk parallels authoritarian tactics. His endorsement of controversial ideas, such as governance by “high-status males,” reveals a dangerous alignment with exclusionary ideologies. This pattern of behavior indicates Musk’s use of Twitter to manipulate public discourse for personal gain while undermining democratic values and social equity.
