The “social media” [that should always have quotation marks around it] platform X is now accepting payments from terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, the Hothis, Iran, and Russia. Since Musk laid off 80% of the staff, checks and verifications of users are no longer in place on X.
I have never understood why people continue to cooperate with such entities as X. Aren’t there other ways to communicate? It’s like patronizing Hobby Lobby or voting for Ted Cruz or buying an assault rifle. None of those things are necessary, so why do them? I don’t get it.
For the info on X see Kate Conger, “Terrorists Are Paying for Check Marks on X, Report Says,” New York Times, 2/14/2024.
I've written to Biden, Harris and the head of NASA asking that no more contracts be given to SpaceX until Elon Musk is gone from the company management and divested of his stock. I also requested that X no longer be used for communication by the government.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. I will do that as well.
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is that Elon Musk is a really smart guy. Unfortunately he's also an asshole!
