Elon Musk is up to something big again! This guy posted a photo on social media where he and Trump are on a private jet heading to New York to watch a UFC match. The key point is that he added the MSNBC logo to the background. Now everyone is going crazy—could it be that he's really going to acquire MSNBC? Just think about how he previously spent $44 billion to buy Twitter, and now there are rumors that CNN is also in his sights; this guy is really something.
We need to talk about the impact of this on political discourse. You might not know, but those who control the media are like puppet masters, pulling everyone's thoughts along. Don't believe it? Look at the historical newspaper magnate Hearst, who pushed for wars back in the early 20th century. Nowadays, with social media platforms being even more convenient, there's no doubt that having money allows one to whimsically sway public opinion.
Now, let's consider what would happen if Musk were to acquire all the major social media and traditional news networks. How would ordinary people access information? I bet that the information you see in the future will be manipulated by algorithms, and the credibility of the sources will be a mystery. Many people might lose their ability to think independently, left only with a bunch of biased reports that are hard to distinguish.
Speaking of the struggle between 'wokeness' and conservatism, do you remember the conflicts between England and France back in the day? On the eve of the Brexit referendum, there were constant debates, and then the incident with the French teacher being attacked—these were all problems caused by a lack of communication between both sides. If the cultural divide in the U.S. worsens, I wouldn't be surprised at all, because it’s all due to technological means!
Finally, let's summarize. Other countries around the world are definitely watching this drama unfold, seeing how Musk juggles freedom of speech and monopoly issues. Some places, like Brazil or India, have already seen similar actions. In this context, I hope that countries can learn from these experiences and stabilize the situation through reasonable and lawful methods, as that is the truth!$ELF
