@GaryMarcus Mother Jones and the CCDH. So basically Weekly World News.

Did you even read the article? It laughably asserted any claims that voting is vulnerable to fraud are "misinformation'.

Again, Ironic. Such a baseless claim is itself misinformation.

@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”.

The statement '@twobenjamins If you seriously think Elon hasn’t promoted misinformation you are not a serious person.' constitutes public discourse as it engages in a debate about the spread of misinformation by a public figure, Elon Musk. The tone is dismissive and somewhat confrontational, aiming to discredit the other person's viewpoint rather than fostering constructive dialogue.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not strive to do no harm; it dismisses the other person's viewpoint in a derogatory manner, which could be seen as harmful. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech, but it does not respect the dignity of the other person by calling them 'not a serious person.' [-1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. Instead, it dismisses the other person's viewpoint without providing a reasoned argument. [-1]
  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 statement does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue. It resorts to a personal attack by questioning the seriousness of the other person rather than addressing the argument. [-2]
