2022 really was the year of Elon Musk turning into Trump in real time.
I guess this is what happens when you have a huge following. You become intoxicated and think you can do no wrong because legions of fans blindly follow you.
Not to mention your net worth kept increasing from 2020 - 2022.
I think one reason Elon supports crypto is because he gets a high from having the singular power to pump a coin to the moon and then getting the love and adoration from holders. The more coins (Doge, Shiba Inu, BTC) he pump, the more love he gets online. It's this adoration that he seems to be addicted to. It's similar to a social media influencer's number of likes and follows or a Stackoverflow member's upvoted answers.
Though it seems like Elon has taken a step back in 2023. Probably more to do with falling TSLA stock price more than anything.
Musk was always this way. Comparing him to Trump is unfair. Whether it's skill, intelligence, or luck, Trump is lightyears beyond Musk in building a cult of personality and exploiting it through grift. The only "smart" thing Musk ever did was to figure out he could be legally declared the founder of 2 companies retroactively.
I don't think he realistically have any huge impact on BTC, on the rest maybe, but BTC is too big and independent that he has no real impact on how it is valued. At least that is my impression.
Yes, I checked. His full name, spelled correctly, does not show up in the autocomplete nor in the search results page.
The first search result is someone with 5 followers. The real user has 500k followers.
It's possible that the silent search censoring hasn't propagated to all their servers worldwide yet or they quickly reversed the ban after being caught and the reverse hasn't fully propagated.
The 'fuss' is probably what caused Twitter to change their policy on this. The 'fuss' is why people like you can now search the uncensored results, two days after the censorship was first reported.
Those who are upset about this: Is it because of the censoring, or is it because it was done for the wrong reason? If the journalist in question is doubtful about vaccine safety, does that make it OK to remove him again?
I think the issue here is an obvious conflict of interest and general hypocrisy. It also is an pretty good counterexample to the whole idea of freedom of speech absolutism. Someone is always going to decide what speech is preferable and that person is always going to be subject to their own biases.
