Elon Musk, A disgruntled modern billionaire Twitter The owner, posted some contradictory comments the day before the crucial midterm elections and urged people to support her Republicans Tuesday.
“To independent-minded voters: Shared power stifles the worst excesses of both parties, so I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the presidency is a Democrat,” he wrote.
First, it is a huge mistake to say that the mistakes of the Republican and Democratic parties are equal. Sure, the Democrats decided not to ban stock trading by lawmakers, but that’s very different from refusing to acknowledge the results of the 2020 presidential election and encouraging potential rebels.
Second, aside from the libertarian mind of a sophomore in college, it is disconcerting to see Musk support Republicans on a platform alerting users to inaccurate information about elections and voting that he now owns.
Despite Musk’s claims that he wants Twitter to be “politically neutral” and “the most accurate source of information around the world,” he has just sponsored a party of election fraud and conspiracy theories.
Several controversial decisions since Musk took over Twitter
Musk has also called for the verification tool to be a paid feature since it bought Twitter late last month. Also promising to give verified users’ tweets top priority, Musk said Friday that “you’ll have to scroll far to see unverified users.”
Musk said on Twitter Sunday that the planned shift would “democratize journalism,” but in practice it would encourage people to spread false information on top of news from legitimate, non-paying journalists. 8 dollars a monthIt would be easy to misuse the impersonation.
Musk’s tweet about the midterm elections used the term “shared power” to refer to a divided government in which one party controls the White House and another controls Congress. A divided ruling would make it more difficult for Congress to pass meaningful legislation, which is currently considered too harsh.
