MSNBC: “Elon is trying to control how people think. That’s our job.”

I trust them more than I do a politician who goes to DC not a millionaire

I think it's funny how you people trust billionaires to do what's best for you.

And leaves DC millionaire

It is the media's actual job to at least suggest how you should feel about the issues at hand. No one really thinks for themselves no matter how much they like to think so. We accept the analysis of some and reject it from others. This is the extent of modern independent thought. Someone has to sift through all the meaningless data of life and make sense of it. We are all too busy to do it ourselves. So who should have the job of telling you how to think? We fully expect someone to do it.

I don't expect anyone to do it for me but then again I'm neither far right or far left so I reject your argument just as reject the far right's loony tune arguments. Yes it does happen as you say but no it shouldn't, not in a free society.

I think it's funny that Dims hate individual Rights like free speech.

Billionaires run everything already…just comes down to which one.

LOL, talk about having a “honest moment”:

It’s just great when they accidentally acknowledge everything we’ve warned about and they call conspiracy theory.

Actually, I think MSNBC believes it's their job to control what people think rather than how. As does most of the rest of the media. And academia.

Actually, they want people to NOT think, merely parrot.

Just look at the Sheeple here at USMB if you doubt that.

Yep -- the Clinton/Obama/Biden formula.

It takes an especially stupid individual to rue people making a fortune through innovation while supporting the most corrupt people imaginable making a fortune through politics.

In a free society no one should ever have to wonder if they are being bullshitted. So what would that require?

Individual rights end at the tip of your nose. After that we are in the realm of public safety. Why do you think society is under any sort of obligation to respect what you say or allow lies to go unanswered?

I don't wonder at all.

Everything you post is utter bullshit.

This one might be the most dangerous one to put your trust in.

You are more than free to rebut anything your simplistic knee-jerk reactions happen to find a problem with.

Spoken like a true Fasict. No entity has any right to be the truth police, least of all the Government or media. Our Constitutional Rights are all the protection we have against left wing Fascism. They will be taken away over my dead body. And fortunately millions upon millions feel the same way I do.

Obviously you have a skewed concept of free speech, what you're taking about IS censorship. Apparently you think this is a new development in our country, that it hasn't happened since before the founding. Granted it's become more accessable due to the internet and other mediums.
Besides, which is bull shit? Yours or theirs? That's for each individual to decide not you.

Because he supports free speech?

Have you ever considered adopting liberal values instead of the ones you promote?

The Left knows their ideas cannot win in a marketplace of free speech. Stalin knew this, Mao knew this, and the American Progressive Left knows this. Censorship and the restrictions of our Constitutionally protected free speech rights are the only way they can win. That's why they are so afraid of Elon Musk.

Ah -- so I'M the simplistic one?!

Woke authoritarian children say the funniest things!

Individuals are seldom informed enough or educated enough to sift through a bewildering jungle of conflicting "facts" and always hit upon the single accurate reporting of reality. Lies meant to strike at the heart of our ability to distinguish reality from fantasy should be battled with every resource at our disposal. The liars just don't like it.
