And this is precisely the danger of the Elon Musk/Donald Trump axis. Musk used his immense personal wealth to buy Twitter and turn it into his own personal social media network. To recoup his costs he sacked all the moderators and give free rein to ‘clickbait’ posts. Overnight he turned from a liberal into a right wing enthusiast.
Freedom of speech has always been about helping people without a voice speaking truth to power. But what’s happening today is the opposite. Musk is the richest man on earth and he has more than enough power already.
