🤷‍♂️
On Joe Rogan’s podcast — where male brain cells go to die — he recently decried Facebook’s old fact-checking policies as “like something from 1984”, and railed against his platform’s censorship of covid-19 misinformation. This he did with all the easy patter of someone taking part in a memory test, reciting each buzzy talking point as if it was a mnemonic he’d been taught to remember the names of Henry VIII’s wives. Has there ever been a less convincing agitator for his own interests than Mark Zuckerberg? Even now, dressing in XXXL tees and gold necklaces and hair his small army of stylists and design consultants have decided should make him look exactly like a Bafta, he seems as robotic and mannered as he ever did. Musk speaks like a man who believes his own insane conspiratorial guff, because he does. For years, we’ve watched as the most malodorous portions of the internet have fully infected his brain and transformed his entire personality. Zuck avoided this fate by not having a personality to begin with. It is difficult to imagine him holding a strong view on anything, for much the same reason it is difficult to imagine him enjoying a poem or a sandwich. It would be like attributing sentiment to a set of venetian blinds. There is simply nothing there.

You have to love Alan Moore. What a fabulous interview.
