The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post has published an op-ed written by Ellen Pao, the former CEO of Reddit. For starters, make sure you’re not drinking anything before proceeding.
Ready?
Ok, here goes:
LOL. Really?
Twitter’s largest stockholder and newest board member Elon Musk got a laugh out of all this:
Here’s the entire paragraph from the story:
Musk’s appointment to Twitter’s board shows that we need regulation of social-media platforms to prevent rich people from controlling our channels of communication. For starters, we need consistent definitions of harassment and of content that violates personal privacy. Most companies, I suspect, would welcome such regulations: They would give executives cover to do things they know should be done but which they are afraid to try, out of fear of political backlash or a revolt by some users. If platforms continue to push for growth at all costs — without such regulations — people will continue to be harmed. The people harmed will disproportionately be those who have been harmed for centuries — women and members of marginalized racial and ethnic groups. The people who benefit from unrestricted amplification of their views will also be the same people who have benefited from that privilege for centuries.
Some people sure are nervous at the thought of losing their ability to flag & purge truths by calling it “misinformation” in order to protect preferred narratives.

It’s good to see a liberal in panic mode fake utopia burns.
(we need regulation of social-media platforms to prevent rich people from controlling our channels of communication)
😆😂🤣
The horse already sailed that ship out the barn door.
Or something.
This is definitely rich (cough) coming from The Washington CommiePost.
“It’s a secret clubhouse and you can’t come into it, Musk!” Yeah, right.
This woman CANNOT accomplish as much in a LIFETIME as Musk does between breakfast & lunch on any given day.
IF MUSK & Trump EVER team up-—the DEM party is OVER.
IF Dems keep violating the Constitution about Natural Born Citizens-—they are setting a precedent that MUSK can use.
“Some people sure are nervous at the thought of losing their ability to flag & purge truths by calling it “misinformation” in order to protect preferred narratives.”
Indeed. Makes one wonder if there are any genuine and sincere “journalists” capable of honesty or critical thought. They all appear to be consumed by blind hatred, willful if ignorance of the facts and complete devotion to the newest version of American fascism.
Oh the evil white Christians on here make me sick. snicker
Not as much as the stupid ones does.
Elon Musk believes in freedom of speech, and that makes the leftists very nervous.
Let’s get rid of the natural-born citizen requirement so Musk can serve as our President some day. It didn’t stop Obama anyway https://www.wasobamaborninkenya.com/ccount/click.php?id=97 . It will only stop an honest principled conservative like Musk.
Not an overly bright fella is Bezos?
“Most companies, I suspect, would welcome such regulations:”
Ha, ha. Do you know anyone who runs a business who welcomes additional regulations? I sure don’t.
Even billionaire Leftists lack self awareness.
When will Mike Bloomberg scold Elon?
How about Zuckerberg?
I first posted it yesterday afternoon:
It takes a lot of money to become a board member of Twitter, but not a lot else apparently.Have the journalists at WaPo ever heard of Jeff Bezos?

“This woman CANNOT accomplish as much in a LIFETIME as Musk does between breakfast & lunch on any given day”
^^^^^^^^. This.
We dispensed with NBC with the election of Obola.
Heh
Ping
Noone is panicking. This is to get a reaction. Bezo’s, Ma, Gates, Musk, et al run BEV.
I think that what they meant by “rich people” was “rich people that we don’t agree with.” They have no problem with club members controlling the media and government.
