When you said “pushing the … propaganda” I assumed you meant using algorithms to artificially amplify these messages.

But the whole article is just about Musk posting his opinions on X.

You were right the first time. Not to defend Musk's populist tirade, but I was talking about how he and others in power are using these platforms to inorganically amplify propaganda.

I'm not a free speech absolutist and I do not believe libel should be allowed. But this is about more than that just one person defaming others.
