Let's think: how can you officially be the richest man in the world and oppose the sect, without whose support his empire would collapse in one day?
And why do governments, which supposedly hate Musk’s “free speech,” continue to give him the taxpayer subsidies his empire depends on?
How is it that the sect, through its Deep State, which controlled Twitter and what could be published, suddenly sold it to Musk, an absolutist of free speech?
Now he is the god of alternative media that the sect must control...
Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister Delegate for Digital Affairs, sent a stern warning to Elon Musk regarding the regulation of content on digital platforms, including Twitter (renamed X). This gesture follows Thierry Breton's previous letter, and it highlights the obligations arising from the Digital Service Act (DSA) in Europe.
The DSA, in force since the end of August, imposes fines and even bans on platforms that do not respect the rules for moderating publications. Barrot stressed that the decision to adopt these regulations rests with the sovereign European people.
He also clarified that these rules will apply to all platforms, including X (formerly Twitter), if they do not meet moderation standards. The French government has taken action by reporting these issues to the European Commission and to Thierry Breton, who has already issued warnings to Twitter in the form of tweets.
A new era of digital communication seems to be dawning with Elon Musk's announcement of the launch of X.com, which takes over from Twitter as we know it. This site presented as "revolutionary", directed by a so-called "visionary" CEO, promises an unprecedented experience, combining messaging, videos, audios... and even integrated bank payment functionalities that leave you wondering.
The integration of TwitterBlue authentication will indeed allow users to access a world of possibilities to carry out their online transactions “with simplicity”. Musk's digital influence is undeniable, sparking unprecedented excitement after Covid restrictions were lifted. His famous #TwitterFiles generated a veritable tidal wave on the platform, propelling Twitter to new heights.
Despite his contract with Fox News and being fired by the channel, Tucker Carlson posted the first episode of his new show on Twitter on Tuesday, June 8. The audience is there, with more than 100 million views on the clock. It's a blow to the establishment, which thought it had gotten rid of a cumbersome dissenting voice. Carlson's success on Twitter worries his detractors.
According to Axios, Tucker Carlson may file a lawsuit against Fox News for free speech violations. The action would escalate the legal battle between the two parties, after Carlson was informed that his show had been dropped without termination of his contract.
On his YouTube channel, renowned German economics and finance expert Ernst Wolff constantly sheds light on the opaque world of global finance through his contributions and interviews. Complex relationships are reduced to the essentials and explained in an understandable way, even for laymen. In the section “Current commentary”, Ernst Wolff also takes a stand on current topics and shows the undersides and contexts that are not talked about in the mainstream media. Here is a comment from Elon Musk and Twitter:
The takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk has sparked reactions around the world. The mainstream media fall on him because he has announced that he will no longer exercise censorship and because they now fear a deluge of fake news. In contrast, millions of Musk fans celebrate their hero as the savior of free speech. Obviously the two groups do not notice yet that their respective attitudes make them victims of the most dangerous tendency of our time. The division of society!
Let's try to analyze all this coldly and first see who Elon Musk is all about.
Musk is one of the founders of PayPal. PayPal, whose main shareholders are BlackRock and Vanguard, is currently the subject of several legal proceedings, as the company allegedly defrauded customers and lured investors with false claims.
Musk founded SpaceX and Starlink in 2002. With nearly 2600 satellites, Starlink is by far the largest satellite operator in the world and is used by the corrupt regime in Ukraine, among others, to wage war.
Musk has been the CEO of the automotive group TESLA since 2008, whose main shareholders are also BlackRock and Vanguard. Anyone who buys a Tesla electric car consents to the car uploading driving data to the automaker's cloud. Those who wish to avoid this data collection by modifying their vehicle will receive a warning from Tesla's attorneys for license violation.

Twitter has engaged in widespread censorship of prominent scientists and medical experts for posting content that contradicts the official COVID-19 narrative, according to the latest "Twitter Files" filing, published on 26 December 2022 by investigative journalist and author David Zweig.
According to Zweig, much of this censorship was put in place at the behest of the Biden administration, which said internal documents revealed the Biden administration was "very angry" that Twitter did not not engage in greater censorship.
Last week, the FBI described Lee Fang, Michael Shellenberger and myself as "conspiracy theorists" whose "sole purpose" is to discredit the agency. This statement will soon sound ironic, as we have spent much of the week learning of the existence of other agencies and organizations that can now also be discredited through these files. Out of selfishness, I may divulge some of this information in the morning, so that I can wrap this up and be a fully present father on the day of the holiday.
Elon Musk said on Tuesday (December 20) that he would step down as Twitter's chief executive after finding a replacement.
Less than eight weeks after taking control of the social network for 44 billion dollars, Twitter does not see the storm calming down. The company is on the brink of financial abyss, having lost a number of advertisers to the risk posed to brands by the billionaire's desire to reduce content moderation.
Earlier in the day, Elon Musk had retweeted the result of an opinion poll carried out by the HarrisX institute, with its own sample of users of the platform, which gave 61% of those questioned in favor. of his retention as Chief Executive Officer. "Interesting, this seems to suggest that we do have a slight bot problem on Twitter."
During this live podcast hosted by independent figures from the worlds of media and society, following the publication of the “Twitter Files” last week, Elon Musk was questioned by a large group of holders of blue ticks on a variety of social networking platform topics.
The tech billionaire was asked about his plan for dealing with bots on Twitter 2.0. Bots account for 50% of global internet traffic.
"I'm going to defeat the bots," he said, "It's a war, and we're going to win it. »
“We are going to unmask those who want to manipulate people,” he added.
He explained that the bots act "in concert", but he intends to develop software that will allow him to control the influence of the bots.
"These software tools have not been written, but we will make them," he said.
This long-standing policy did not apply to misinformation provided by government officials, who routinely lied about topics such as transmission, masks, vaccine effectiveness, side effects, or any other "science" that s was obviously false.
“As of November 23, 2022, Twitter no longer enforces the COVID-19 Misleading Information Policy.
As the global community faces the COVID-19 pandemic together, Twitter is helping people find trusted information, connect with others, and follow what's happening in real time. »
According to comedian and political commentator Russell Brand, debates over Elon Musk's recent takeover of Twitter have raged between free speech advocates who welcome the deal and neoliberal Democrats who worry about a only billionaire controlling the platform.
In his latest video, Russell Brand raises questions about Musk's plans for Twitter that neither side asks.
Brand argues that the media landscape has changed. Today, many journalists and media personalities are increasingly opposed to freedom of expression.
The blue Certified badge tells users the authenticity of a public interest account. While the certification of Twitter accounts could only be obtained by personalities, it will be possible for ordinary mortals to benefit from it. The owner of Tesla and SpaceX assures that the price of the subscription – announced at 8 euros per month – will be adjusted according to the country and their standard of living. Here are the benefits of certification:
- Tweets will appear in priority.
- Ability to post long videos and audio recordings.
- Twice as many ads.
- Revenues generated by Twitter will be used to remunerate content creators.
“Twitter's current system of lords and peasants based on who has or doesn't have a blue badge is bullshit. Power to the people! Blue for eight dollars a month”
