Elon Musk’s month or so in charge of Twitter has been rather eventful. From banning parody accounts to reinstating former President Donald Trump, there has rarely been a day in which the new CEO and his new platform have not made the news. While some worry that Musk will turn Twitter into a free speech hellscape, others have lauded the Tesla founder for attempting to reduce the platform’s systemic Left-leaning bias. But the question remains: should we be troubled or encouraged by the concentration of all this power in one man’s hands?

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst Woke Inc: cultural wars (wokeism) and capitalism produces woke capitalism. Elon Musk has exposed this in front of us by purchasing Twitter and all the revelations which seem to point that the US government or some parties were directing that company to inform in this way and not put ahead information against the "correct" way of seeing things. The debate started by Elon Musk's movement is good, but it' not enough. It needs our own input to define what is hate discourse, misinformation and respect for other opinions, not just to let ourselves be self censored on fear to offend those who consider themselves to have the proper, right and righteous discourse. Otherwise those with power will continue to hold more and more power, justifying themselves as needed to lead everyone according to what they thing true and virtuous. Watch this and let us know what you think.
