he get also a sister  www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-sister-tosca-passionflix-streaming-service-romance-books-movies-2019-7 that can do a great job if they start to create unique movies or tv series based on novels but in great quality instead of quantity like others platforms does. example Shannara tv serie from "the first King of Shannara" (after mtv flop) Or Clive Cussler/Steve Berry movies from their books

More avenues for propagandist, not paying fair share taxes, fascist supporting dude who is sperm donor and not father to 12 children.

Boycott Musk crap.

[Mr Majestyk]

oh look a video outlet to peddle hatred, racism, mysogeny, lies, anti-vaxx, climate denial, Trump BS. What's wrong with what he's already doing with X.

Lock the fElon up.

I get it not agreeing with someone, in this case Elon. However, freedom and democracy should involve supporting the freedom of speech. Especially giving it to those who don't agree with. Flat earth theory ridiculous? Of course. Should it be banned? No, but the fact that it exists should make some people think. The problem lies with the educational system, because if it would work properly, such theories would only be present in jokes.

Unfortunately a lot of conspiracies nowadays are just means to an end. Flat earthers were around for a long time but rose to prominence with advent of content creators. It was just another topic/click bait and it 'sold' well. Most of them don't believe in the content they produce. And political conspiracies are worse yet. People needed covid19 to be caused anything but a virus and they created the 5G conspiracy. Don't want to wear a mask - say the mask itself is causing covid19. Want to say that climate change does not exist - say that all those wildfires are caused by jewish space lasers. Education will not help this as conspiracies are used maliciously for specific end goals with full knowledge that they are not true.
Musk and his platform attracts those loonies. But everyone knows that no one can do anything about it. People express disdain with him and his platform. They wish for the platform to fail.
But at no point did anyone suggest to limit the freedom of speech. Because that would be a moot topic.
