The man has shadowbanned the word ‘trans’ on Twitter
He’s winning no debates or standing on any moral high ground when it comes to hateful content
unfortunately he'll be a non story in a few years, we'll have largely forgotten about him, and we'll be dithering about some new fool, but each of us a little heavier, slower, and with worse posture in our office chairs. who's laughing now, ha ha ahah ha *cough* *cough* *hack* [spit] ha ha ha!
Ah, it is no longer "state affiliated media" and now "government-funded media" which is more clear. Just like Tesla and SpaceX are government-funded companies*.
*to be fair, Musk has receive much less in subsidy than he has requested, so it's not like he's entirely funded by the government
Musk taking their leaving about as well as you’d expect

Did not see the full interview just a few soundbites on BBC news about people losing jobs on twitter
bit like BBC streamlining staff on local radios a failed business model makes cuts nothing new there will be casualties
That bid there though was a car crash if you are going to criticize a product at least have some notes prepared don't be lazy or give the tried and tested
i read it somewhere that is as bad as the new term ..this is my truth

The interview was done on 2 hours' notice hence him being so woefully unprepared. They had to use whatever journalist they could find that was local in 2 hours notice. If the BBC had known well in advance and put in a heavyweight journalist I imagine it would have gone quite differently but then im fairly sure Musk would have swerved that interview like the plague.

I think you're being a bit generous to the journalist. His literal job is to cover the likes of Twitter, so he should be all over them and social media more broadly. Secondly, it was him that actually requested the interview. The only surprise element was that it was accepted and arranged so quickly.
For instance, over the redundancies, if a tech journalist hasn't been covering the widespread redundancies across the sector AND the ethical and legal discontent with how Musk did it when he took over Twitter then he's incompetent.
I would pay to see paxman or Andrew Neil go at musk. They'd tear him a new one.
Substack CEO trying to outdo Musk on “who cares about content moderation”
He was never going to do that, he drinks his own kool aid (I hope it's kool aid). We've moved far from the "you can't trust snopes" days to now, when everyone has an agenda and truth is derived from our prior assumptions (but not in a Bayesian way, but a basic, large knuckled heavy browed way.)
Elon, do one you absolute freak.
