Summary
Bill Gates criticized Elon Musk for his support of far-right politicians, including the UK’s Tommy Robinson and Germany’s AfD party, calling it “insane shit” and accusing Musk of destabilizing political systems.
Gates questioned Musk’s focus on divisive politics while managing global businesses like Tesla and SpaceX.
Gates also expressed concern about wealthy individuals influencing foreign elections.
Musk has faced backlash for controversial actions, including a Nazi salute.
Money would also attract grifters who want to create fake scandals for the payoff. I agree with you that there is absolutely some reprehensible shit going down behind closed doors at Xitter, and at Meta too for that matter, but if Gates or anyone else offered a financial incentive to come forward, finding something that actually happened amid all the reports they received would be like finding a needle in a haystack blindfolded and without a magnet. Especially now that everybody has access to several LLMs to write the fake scandal reports for them. Yes, most would be easy to identify as fake, but someone would still have to take the time to read them. So-called AI detectors aren’t worth anything.
Ya, that does make sense. Rewards bring out a lot of fake shit.
And ya, definitely Meta too. They’ve been at it so long, I imagine it would dwarf anything we find out about Twitter.
