This is why the fake news media is attacking Elon and the X platform. They have lost control of the narrative they once had. “We owned the news. We were the gatekeepers, and we very much owned the facts as well”.

Musk's long-time vision is to implant a chip into your brain, to control you (- 'Neuralink' is his real vision).

His vision for now is you buying into his "Twitter/X is free speech" bullshit, while simoultaneously hiring a WEF linked Twitter/X CEO (Linda Yaccarino).

Twitter/X keeps censoring your speech, like it always did.

Unfortunately, in the public's attempt to liberate the facts from the gatekeepers, we ended up in a post-factual world where anything can be true, depending on whether or not you want it to be true.

Yeah, it's kinda messed up how folks tried to break free from the info gatekeepers, but now it feels like we're in this weird place where truth depends on what you wanna believe. Like, it's hard to know what's really legit anymore. Maybe we gotta figure out a way to get the facts without everything turning into a choose-your-own-truth situation.

The reason why is to make him more convincing as controlled opposition.

-> The X logo when mirrored and put next to the original forms a square and compass.
-> Musk signalling that he's a freemason.

I don't think people were really trying to break free of gatekeepers. People just lost trust in them because of the plainly obvious deception going on. The war in Iraq was a great example and the real start to people questioning MSM.

Rater then embrace this mistake and promise to do better, to re-earn the trust of the public, MSM just doubled down on the notion that the public are morons and will believe anything you put in front of them. (And to a degree that worked for a while.)

But media consumption has changed and now that tactic is easily defeated via the internet. Take the CNN/Joe Rogan Ivermectin debacle. CNN was destroyed over this. Even hardcore CNN friends of mine were laughing at them which just led them and others to further question MSM. To my knowledge CNN has never apologized over this disgraceful reporting. Now look at them, weekends with < 200k in viewership. Fucking YouTubers in their basements reporting news get more views on a single video.

They were the architects of their own demise and I have no sympathy for them. I don't believe there is even a path to redemption for them either.

Even the media attacks on individuals are failing horribly. Joe Rogan is more popular then even and they went hard core at him. Elon will be fine in this and few people will be swayed ageist him. TBH most don't give a shit. There is too much information going around for people to care about this.

If anything people should be focused on the Epstein case and the recent developments but again people just don't have the mental bandwidth. This is where the next real power will come from for people and corporations. Immunity via information overload. Some are already leveraging this, getting away with just about anything while the average person worries about some TikTok trend.

In the realm of media consumption, a tectonic shift has occurred, altering the dynamics between traditional gatekeepers and the public. The erosion of trust in mainstream media (MSM) has been a gradual process, culminating in a profound transformation of the media landscape. The Iraqi War stands as a watershed moment, a stark illustration of the deception that sowed seeds of doubt in the public's minds. Instead of acknowledging their missteps and endeavoring to regain the public's trust, MSM doubled down on the misguided notion that the public was gullible and would swallow any narrative presented to them. This strategy yielded temporary success, but the advent of the internet has rendered it obsolete. The ease of accessing information online has empowered individuals to fact-check and scrutinize media报道, exposing biases and inaccuracies. The CNN/Joe Rogan Ivermectin debacle serves as a prime example of this phenomenon. CNN's relentless attacks on Rogan backfired spectacularly, drawing widespread ridicule and further eroding the network's credibility. MSM's attempts to assail individuals have also met with failure. Joe Rogan's popularity has soared despite concerted efforts to discredit him, and Elon Musk's image remains largely untarnished despite media onslaughts. The sheer volume of information available online has desensitized the public to these attacks, rendering them largely ineffective. The Epstein case and recent developments surrounding it offer a glimpse into the future of power dynamics. Immunity through information overload is the new frontier, with some entities leveraging this phenomenon to evade accountability while the public remains preoccupied with trivial matters. Amidst this media maelstrom, the onus falls upon individuals to navigate the complexities of information consumption. Critical thinking and discernment are paramount in separating fact from fiction, ensuring that the pursuit of truth prevails in an era defined by information overload.

poopypoopy that's a terrible paraphrase of my OP. Your algorithm's are weak and the Chinese (?) characters really take me out of the immersion. Last where is your formatting? It's a choir to get though... I do however like how you agree with everything I say....like some sort of robotic cheerleader....so I'm inclined to trust and believe you! Never change!
