@mtaibbi The point of the while platform is to create a pulpit for him to espouse and further his world view. He's kind of a sociopath. There's a little more to it than "handling someone's option." I love heterodox shit! You're a journalist, for God's sake. Give it some thought.

@Trumpshanz Who cares what he calls it? Are you a child? You can’t handle someone’s opinion?

@mtaibbi See my other tweet. The key here is he's still pretending this isn't a media company.

@Trumpshanz Who cares what it does? He doesn’t get to say whatever he wants? Clearly you were able to handle it.

@mtaibbi I think your analog is apples and oranges, and this is a very unique case, Matt. We're dealing with algorithms and black boxes here. It would he interesting for you or someone else to dissect what him posting "💯" on some alt right dweeb's tweet about replacement theory does...

I have a lot of gripes about Elon but him expressing his political opinion isn’t one of them. In no way is that inappropriate: owners of media companies do it constantly. If he’s censoring to suppress opposing views, different matter.

The statement in question is part of a broader conversation about the role of a media platform owner in expressing political opinions. This discussion touches on public issues such as free speech, media ownership, and the influence of social media on public discourse. Therefore, it constitutes public discourse.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not appear to intentionally cause harm, but its confrontational tone could be seen as dismissive and potentially harmful to the dignity of others. [-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 lack respect for the privacy and dignity of others by using a confrontational tone. [-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 concerns of others without attempting to understand their perspective. [-2]
  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 'What’s wrong with you?' rather than addressing the argument. [-2]
  5. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds the principle of free speech by defending the right of the platform owner to express opinions. However, it does not use the platform responsibly or with integrity due to its confrontational tone. [+1]
