Elon Musks Twitter culture war
On Sunday, Twitter owner Elon Musk joined comedian Dave Chappelle on stage and was roundly booed. Musk responded on Twitter saying, \u201cTechnically, it was 90% cheers,\u201d and that \u201cIt\u2019s almost as if I\u2019ve offended SF\u2019s unhinged leftists \u2026 but nahhh.\u201d\n\nMusk has said that he\u2019s politically a centrist, but the tweet is just one recent example of how he\u2019s adopted partisan language in a social media culture war. Musk has distributed Twitter records that are supposed to reveal biased censorship, indulged in far-right talking points about COVID-19 and unbanned white nationalist accounts.\n\nToday, a discussion with the Atlantic\u2019s Charlie Warzel about how and why Musk is aligning himself with different factions of the right. Warzel writes the Galaxy Brain newsletter about tech, media and politics.
