In this truly amazing article from TechDirt, Mike Masnick absolutely shredded Elon Musk’s idea of “free speech”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It\u2019s worth watching, though mostly for how it shows how very, very little Musk understands about all of this. Indeed, what struck me about his views is how much they sound like what the techies who originally created social media said in the early days. And here\u2019s the important bit: all of them eventually learned that their simplistic belief in how things should work\u00a0does not work in reality<\/strong>\u00a0and have spent the past few decades trying to iterate. And Musk ignores all of that while (somewhat hilariously) suggesting that all of those things can be figured out eventually, despite all of the hard work many, many overworked and underpaid people have been doing figuring exactly that out, only to be told by Musk he\u2019s sure they\u2019re doing it wrong.” writes Masnick describing a video of Musk speaking at TED.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
