You think he wouldn’t do the same for a Democrat?
Not to mention, step outside the two party lens for a second. If he does this for democrats and republicans then surely he needs to do it for absolutely anyone that declares a presidential candidacy? To do otherwise would be to endorse the two party political establishment, also not a neutral statement.
A truly neutral Twitter would have no problem hosting a Space where a person announces their candidacy. But it would have no further involvement.
I wonder how you feel about media then?
The criticisms I’m laying out here (including the fact that, yes, interviewers have bias) are exactly the criticisms I and many others would level at corporate media. Despite his claims Musk is emulating them, not proving some radical alternative.
This then manifests in charging Post-Elon twitter with Right wing Bias because if Pre-Elon Twitter was "neutral" (it was not), Elon moving twitter slightly to the right means it now Right wing ...
Personally I think Elon is centrist, agreeing with some Right wing policies, and some left wing policies, but clearly has a personal bias which is reflected in the policy choices of twitter, too much so IMO.
That said most often when I engage on this subject I am faced with people that have the position that CNN, MSNBC, and NY Times, Washington Post, and other corp media are not organizationally biased, and that Pre-Elon Twitter was a neutral platform, so the hypocrisy of that position is what I challenge.
He spends his entire day reply-guying to right-wing loons on everything from COVID crankery to RaHoWa wannabes and throws around canned-ass Germany-in-the-thirties anti-Jewish bullshit because a guy sold some stock. Where his bread is buttered is simply not difficult to suss out.
Now go on and tell me that anti-Semitism (no, not anti-Zionism, do not give me that dodge) is "centrist".
Have you ever watched "60 Minutes" interview a candidate?
I recently watched Leslie Stahl interview MTG. I didn't know anything about MTG, and still don't, as all Stahl did was try to embarrass her with various rhetorical traps.
