Thank God Elon is fighting for our right to free speech.......
Watch full interview


"I, at least, think of myself as a moderate," Elon Musk told Bill Maher during an appearance Friday night on the comedian's HBO show.
Despite being decried by all asunder as a 'far-right conservative operative' or some such hyperbole, Musk said:


"I spent a massive amount of my life energy building sustainable energy, you know, electric vehicles, and batteries, and solar. It's not exactly far-right."
Musk made his opinion clear a year ago - he hasn't changed, the world has...


And somehow in all this divisive bullshit, 'allowing' free speech has become a virtue of the far-right, the enablers of violence, the fascists

"Free speech used to be a left or liberal value, and yet we see from the quote 'left' a desire to actually censor, and that seems crazy."
"I think we should be extremely concerned about anything that undermines the First Amendment," Musk said.
More explicitly regarding his acquisition or, and changes made at, Twitter, Musk said:

"My concern with Twitter was to that it is somewhat of the digital town square and it's important that there be both the reality and perception of trust for a wide range of viewpoints."
Maher responded that he does not tweet any more because “it’s too easy to get canceled” by a mob.

“Because you may be the mayor of tweet town now and I’m glad - I like it that the mayor likes my jokes - but the reason I don’t do it anymore is because the mob of mean girls is still there and that has not changed.
Like, it’s too easy to get canceled and I don’t even know what pisses them off: they’re so nuts, these kids.
I feel like I’m walking on a roof with a blind fold: I could fall off anytime, that was the most innocuous thing, but it’s like, you know, I said George Washington was a great president - oh how dare you,” Maher continued.
You have to say, like, what does canceled mean? You know - I mean, yes, if people attack you on Twitter that’s one thing - but frankly that’s just going to increase engagement. So I would just ignore it,” Musk replied somewhat prosaically.


And so Maher stepped it up a little more:
“You have talked about this woke mind virus in really apocalyptic terms,” Maher asked Musk
“I don’t - you should explain why you don’t think it’s hyperbole to say things like it’s pushing civilization towards suicide. First of all, what is the woke mind virus?”
Musk responded much more clearly this time:
“I think we need to be very cautious about anything that is anti-meritocratic and anything that results in the suppression of free speech,” Musk said.
“So, those are two of the aspects of the woke mind virus that I think are very dangerous, is that it’s often very anti-meritocratic, and you can’t question things. Even the questioning is bad.”
Maher agreed, and asked Musk where he thinks this 'woke mind virus' originated from:
“I was trying to figure out where it’s coming from. I think it’s actually been a long time brewing, in that it’s - I think it’s been going on for a while, and the amount of indoctrination that’s happening in schools and universities is I think far beyond what parents realize,” Musk said.

You are falling on the right's narrative that wokeness is bad. Most of it is just being morally good.
You do have sense of humour! LOL!!

I think we have passed that point. Stupid extremism otherwise known as "wokeness " is now rolling right down the middle of the road.
You have to ask yourself why "woke" is the new normal - which it is in Ontario and the Northeastern and West coast US states.

The answer is clearly because most people who are running our society really like "woke". They like the ideas. They like the concepts. They like incorporating it in school, government and corporate agendas.

You have to look closely at the people who don't accept this new direction. Are those people older and angry and focusing their anger on what the younger people find normal?.....

I remember that my father HATED cannabis whenever he saw a news item about it back in the 1970's. He never tried it. He had no idea about it. But right wing media made him channel his anger and resentment in that direction. Likewise gays. My dad HATED gays. And long hair on men. He HATED that.

Are you an older person who channels his rage and resentment like that, JC?.... Should you be getting counseling and emotional support for these feelings?

That explains a lot. You were raised by a bigot and it shows.

There, there, 😆 You are not responsible for the sins of your father. You don't have to take the automatic opposite position. You can think for yourself. Try it.

Now, I get it why you're an ideologue...took a while , but, as my shrink mother always says, if you take the time to listen, eventually people will tell you everything. I'd love to help you with your questions, but until you self realize, any wisdom
I may impart on you will be wasted.

Sad that people don't realize that "wokeness" isn't now. It's called progress. 100 years ago, women voting was woke. The world moves on even if there are some people who are too scared of change that they hide in an idealized past.
