It’s been less than a month, but how tired are we already of hearing about Elon Musk and Twitter?
If only Hooter’s had been for sale. But here we are, and the world’s richest man seems intent on throwing gasoline on the hate, lies and propaganda that already plagued the world’s most powerful method of communication.
All this is happening during a volatile election when we expect far-right vote fraud conspiracy theorists, Christian nationalists and a troubling contingent of American fascists to dispute reliable results in a continuing bid to undermine our legitimate government.
Which means, for those who care about fair elections, democracy and protecting vulnerable groups from attack, that we have to pay attention to what is happening at Twitter whether we like it or not.
