@GaryMarcus Weird how he couldn't cite a single example of a demonstrably untrue claim Elon perpetuated.

Given that fact, the author and those who repost these baseless allegations are themselves, engaged in spreading disinformation.

Ironic.

Quote of the day, maybe the year:

“*He is not an idiot, Elon Musk is very smart, very tech savvy.
He could do a simple Google search of any of the disinformation he has seen in the last week and see it's untrue, but instead he seeks to amplify it and perpetuate it”.

“He has vast wealth at his fingertips, and he uses it for some of the most wicked evil I’ve seen.”

The statement and the preceding conversation constitute public discourse as they engage in a substantive debate about the actions and influence of a prominent public figure, Elon Musk. The discussion involves allegations of disinformation and its societal impact, which are significant public issues.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement by @twobenjamins and the preceding conversation involve a critique of Elon Musk's actions and their potential harm. The tone is critical but does not appear to be malicious or intended to cause harm beyond the critique itself. This aligns with the principle of striving to do no harm with words and actions. [+1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The conversation respects the privacy and dignity of others to a reasonable extent, focusing on public actions and statements rather than personal attacks. However, the language used ('wicked evil') could be seen as harsh and potentially disrespectful, which slightly violates the principle of respecting dignity. [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The conversation promotes understanding and empathy by discussing the implications of spreading disinformation. However, the tone is adversarial, which may hinder empathetic dialogue. This partially aligns with the principle of promoting understanding and compassion.
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The conversation involves constructive criticism of public actions and statements, which is a form of engaging in public discourse. However, the tone is somewhat confrontational, which could be seen as bordering on personal attacks. This partially aligns with the principle of engaging in constructive criticism without personal attacks.
