It’s true that medieval people were very ignorant compared to us today. For instance, they would panic over mysterious apparitions in the sky, or believe that a strongman leader was blessed by God.

NEW: X has become a hotbed of neo-Nazi content under Elon Musk. We identified the operators of four anonymous accounts that share racist, antisemitic, and neo-Nazi content. Three live in Texas. Musk has replied to two of them. One works for the Navy.

If you spend your whole campaign disavowing something, you can’t claim afterwards the voters gave you a mandate to do it.

I can't decide what's worse: Musk making these very public threats not only to fire government employees but have people arrested, or that fact that he's implying he's some kind of co-president
Last week, Elon Musk—rearing up to fire federal employees he deems wasteful en masse as the head of the Trump administration’s planned DOGE commission—put a number of workaday government employees on blast to millions of users on X.

Wielding power over the powerless is the mark of the bully. Wielding strength against the weak is cowardice. Real strength is knowing you have such power, and choosing to use it in defence of the vulnerable instead. That is the mark of the true warrior.

A failed president who incited a coup attempt and then was found liable of sexual assault and then was convicted of felonies won the popular vote and electoral college. I still haven’t seen a satisfactory explanation. Probably never will.

Musk has now threatened the leaders of Canada,Brazil, Germany. X helped create a riot in the UK. Now it seems he doesn't want the UK to make its own legal decisions. Time to act?
"He asked why British far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson had been imprisoned at all. Musk also approvingly shared Robinson’s documentary to his more than 200 million followers"
Musk's interventions should be taken seriously. The ideological leanings of oligarchical media barons can affect us all.

Contra Elon Musk, I would discourage anyone from treating his platform or any social media network as a sole source of “truthful news.”
Here are a couple of recent reasons why.
