Files 19, for it is clearly influencing public opinion (hey, TF19 dang sure
worked on me.)  So Musk plans to deploy AI to stop himself?  I don't even
need AI.  I can stop myself using ordinary I.

OK but what we have seen over the past three years is no one knows for sure
what that is.  Even The Science himself doesn't know for sure.  So Twitter
had to label anything that questioned The Science as failing to follow the
science, and we saw where that went.

>...He wants the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

Ja, as do we.  On this planet there just ain't enough collective
intelligence, AI and the biological variety combined, to get there.

Musk is Jack Nicholson's counterpart.  Colonel Jessup insisted:

Musk is shouting that we CAN handle the truth.  Well... can we?  What if it
does cause vaccine hesitancy?  And what if it does cause the proletariat to
question The Science?

And it will be open about who gets censored.  This should be interesting.

That seems poor form indeed to be in someone else's house criticizing one's

Create one's own alternate Twitter platform.

What about criticism of Tesla on Twitter?  I know plenty of people who
bought them and love them.  But I also know people who bought them and don't
like them at all, traded back at great expense into dinosaur burners.
People who soured on Musk for buying Twitter and wrote bad commentary about
Tesla as the most direct way to retaliate.  Is Twitter perfectly justified
in censoring that?  I think so.  I see no reason why a business guy would
pay tens of billions to give a platform to people criticizing his own
product.
