After The Economist’s interview with Elon Musk, will major media finally reassess how they cover the fascist billionaire? As its editor-in-chief did the rounds saying she was “not a Musk hater,” he was on X calling her a traitor to the West and suggesting she be murdered. Please, have some dignity. https://disconnect.blog/elon-musks-tired-schtick/ #tech #elonmusk #artificialintelligence #politics #media #journalism

@parismarx@mastodon.online What's remarkable is how much The Economist reporters still fawn over Musk and act like he can do no wrong. I think The Economist has some of the best writers in the business, but they continue to treat him with kid gloves even as he continues to call for ripping Europe apart with hate.

@parismarx@mastodon.online Only 2 strategies worth using with all the neo-liberals are Mocking and/or Ignoring. Starve them of oxygen and if you have to engage then it's ridicule.

@parismarx@mastodon.online Because the media measures morality and ethics in petrodollars.

@parismarx@mastodon.online @Lazarou@mastodon.social "the AI and robot singularity is 10 years away" Sure, like the real "Full Self Drive" that's always just around the next corner. Why anyone should take any "predictions" this clown makes seriously, given his track record of broken promises, is beyond me.

@parismarx@mastodon.online He feels so challenged by questions over his actions that he wants her dead. That should be enough to freeze everything he has and lock him in a rubber room. The drug-addicted subprime toddler of leisure is the absolute death of us all and people who have a tiny bit of money just love him and want to be him.

@parismarx@mastodon.online I'm sure that his comments are illegal in many jurisdictions, but I also know that he can afford lawyers to draw out a case for a very long time. Threats of murder from anyone else would land the person in real trouble in most countries, but we now have people who not only think they are above the law, they know it, because they have bought off the governments and politicians.
