Elon Musk's Twitter 'experiment' in free speech has been a disaster for his bottom line

- Elon Musk doesn't care if he pushes lies and mainstreams hate, but he does care if "Freedom of Speech" gets in the way of his bottom line. NBC News Senior Reporter Ben Collins joins Joy to discuss this and Musk’s seemingly anti-semitic and conspiratorial comments in a recent interview. This comes all while more than half of Twitter’s top advertisers have stopped advertising and fewer people appear to be visiting the site.

Elon is a hero!!!❤
of D&D and Might and Magic maybe. In real live he is a rich, chubby big kid who caved in to China because he didn't know how to play the game when producing in China and trying to get the Chinese market.
Elon Musk is actually proving to the rest of the world how toxic the world of social media is.
Elon Musk is showing the world how toxic Elon Musk is
He’s adding to that!!
Leftists are the real fascists.
Agreed
Imagine a group so disgusting and vile they create laws and names against anyone that criticizes them. 🤮🤮🤮
He's not as smart as he thinks.
He’s infinitely smarter and infinitely more successful than you’ll ever be, clown shoes.
Lol...
You must be a rocket scientist? 🚀 🚀
Says the broke, unemployed, non-binary freak.
how smart is he?
Twitter throttled opposition tweets in Turkey at Erdogan's request.
SO much for 'free speech absolutist' Musk !
In Turkey, it is forbidden by law 24 hours before the start of election day to publish polls, as well as anything related to the political process and elections. As a resident of a country that is a member of the European Union, I can say that there are similar laws in Europe - 24 hours before the start of election day. Twitter abides by the law, because if it doesn't it could be banned from operating in the country. And better restrictions for 24 hours than permanent. So the criticism of Musk is complete nonsense.
Twitter colluded with the US government to participate in election interference in 2020…it’s in a much better place now than then comrade.
i bet you cheered when they censored the sitting president of the united states in 2020, dont pretend you care about free speech in turkey or anywhere else. except for your own freedom to criticize musk have you defended another American . you should defend the rights of people you disagree with or even hate. someday the people who hate you might have the power to slander and censor you. hopefully they appreciate and defend the constitution like most immigrants to the usa still do.
@@hollybrook-cui Twitter said: "Due to the ongoing tensions in the United States, and an uptick in the global conversation in regards to the people who violently stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, these two Tweets must be read in the context of broader events in the country and the ways in which the President’s statements can be mobilized by different audiences, including to incite violence, as well as in the context of the pattern of behavior from this account in recent weeks. After assessing the language in these Tweets against our Glorification of Violence policy, we have determined that these Tweets are in violation of the Glorification of Violence Policy and the user @realDonaldTrump should be immediately permanently suspended from the service."
@@antonmilev4562 You could argue that if the same criteria was applied to the Turkish government. When just applies to the opposition, I do not see your point.
Elon is a world class tool.
Huh. Saw a different account post this exact same comment. On a different video.
It's almost like there's some coordinated effort.

Electric cars and taking mankind back into the stars. MSNPC loved him for this until Musk called out the MSM and social media for censorship and silencing of free speech. Why do you think MSNPC almost overnight went from adoring Musk to hating him? And look at you! Such a good little NPC!

The last thing we want is Free Speech. Thank you MSNBC for setting us straight.
Haha beautiful good job ! For real
Elon Musk the custodian of free speech as of last week only allows people who sign up for Twitter to view his free speech site. If you are not a member you can not view his free speech site. The guy is a joke.
😂😂😂 i love you.
Am I hearing you right? Free speech is the fundamental principle of America. You don't want people to enjoy that?
@@briangan3133 And Twitter’s privacy policy clearly states that the company “may share, sell, or transfer information about you in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or bankruptcy.” Which is what just happened.
Stop giving this guy attention. That's what he wants. He's basically a troll who has billions to get what he wants.
he wants free speech, that offends you.
We have free speech. He wants consequence-free speech.

@@kelperdude You sound like you pay 8 bucks for your, "fReE sPeEcH" 🥴
he reminds me of one of my professors in engineering school where he would tell us "always question the unquestionable". the fact he is using logical thinking, and not believing everything he hears on news media, is exactly what we should be doing. what is wrong with having a platform where we can share our opinion?
Because the liberal left base reality on lies and when met with facts and truth their whole ideology crumbles or is at least made fragile. It's easier to ignore the truth and live a lie than admit your wrong.
Ironically though the platform isn't even free speech protecting
I hope his arrogance costs him every penny. he has a god complex and needs to be shown that he's merely human.
Elon gave twitter a second chance to succeed, before that everyone except crazy liberals were leaving Twitter.
what arrogance?
Did some communist on TV tell you to think that?
If speaking freely and allowing others to do the same = god complex, then what does that make the people who take it upon themselves to be the arbiters of what is acceptable speech/information for public consumption?
@@13bustah oh you didn't see him throw a steel ball against the cyber truck window and it smashing to pieces? that's called arrogance.
He’s got more in line with autocratic people and he’s got money it’s SCARY
Yes free speech is so scary.
"I hate free speech!"
-Democrats
He's super creepy, for real.
People compare the MAGA movement to European fascism. It probably has more in common with minority rule as it was practiced in South Africa during apartheid. Very definitely where MAGA would take the country if they are allowed.
No surprise here, in fact most if not all super rich people are ideologically in line with autocracy and dictatorship because that's exactly how these people are running their own companies: as a dictatorship or an oligarchy. That's also why these people hate socialism so much, because fundamentally, socialism is about democratization in the economic sectors.
Critical thinking skills of a 7th grader and now he owns Twatter too.
Sit down😂😂.. You going to post that goofy looking picture and talk smack about a guy worth hundreds of billions. 🤡🤡

Elon cares about “free speech” when it’s speech he personally likes. But only that.
YOU PRETEND YOU CARE ABOUT FREE SPEECH BUT DID YOU OPPOSE TWITTER FOR CENSORING THE SITTING PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? STOP PRETENDING TO BE WOKE
You just described every liberals viewpoint on free speech.
Dude literally gave a lifeline to the Ukrainians and their ability to use the internet/communicate. He was a hero to you leftists freaks then…but now he’s just too independent, eh comrade?
Seriously. You literally described the leftist position on speech.
@@mvgamer9637 Your opinions aren’t facts, cupcake.

As Africans, we’re very proud of him. We know what it means to have people tell us what we can and cannot say. The long term plan is freedom. 💃🏾
Freedom for whites .

Elon should not give any interviews on camera . All the mystery and intrigue conjured up about "a wealthy Genius" collapses , as soon as he speaks . He needs a PR firm .
he needs poverty
He puts the W into weird
Twitter's biggest Snowflake Elon is all about gaslighting and grifting.
Oh yeah uh the point wasn't the money it was the complete manipulation of social media on a global scale
Bellingcat is Psy-ops in the same way Musk is a genius innovator.
I'm glad MSNBC isn't as ignorant as CNN.
Elon wanted people to believe what a genius he was. Instead, he just revealed himself to be nothing more than a power-centric brat
😱😭😢😭🤧
Daddy gave him money. Big surprise.
And China gave him manufacturing and the biggest market in the world. But the price was his integrity and censoring the things Beijing don't like in Twitter. Musk is just a puppet and the strings are in the hand of the CCP
Why is it that some people think that freedom of speech gives them the right to lie and spread misinformation?… Really?
For the rich and the white, that’s what freedom of speech has always meant
Technically it does, but it also gives us the right to call him a lying POS....
Elon probably sports a bracelet that reads WWCTD? "What Would Cat Turd Do?"
This is the strangest, most weak “reporting” I’ve ever seen.

Musk seems to have lost his way. Instead of comments on colonizing Mars and Starship progression, all he seems to talk about is Twitter. It is a shame.
Lost his way? He was always an arrogant mess.
I totally agree. I never thought much about him. But now I think NOTHING about him.
Give it time... he'll lose interest, just like he did with Tesla, and his exploding bottle rockets...
Saw Elon's rollout of his new Truck. It was ugly as sin and I'm hoping his experience on that product mirrors his experience with acquiring twitter (i.e. he loses another big part of his wealth).
Elon is not a smart man.
Imagine watching this genuinely
It is about deflecting and being liars about the truth and facts.
poor little rich kid.
The guy blows up multimillion dollar rockets for fun. He doesn't give a crap about anything or anyone.
You won our 'victim of the month' award.
it seems to me he actually cares about the future of humanity and our purpose in the universe so much he took the lead on making us a species that will be able to leave the earth someday when the sun inevitably makes it uninhabitable. hes thinking farther into the future of humanity than anyone else. money apparently isnt something he cares about as much as you do. i could be wrong , but blowing up rockets is not evidence to prove he doesn't care. id say its more obvious you don't care if you mislabel and make biased prejudices towards strangers based on politics.

everyone that has even a little sense of what is right should immediately cancel their twitter account. I cancelled my twitter account the moment I found out musk had purchased it.
I canceled Facebook the moment they censored the Hunter Biden Laptop. I never had a Twitter account. But thinking of it now that Elon Musk owns it. At least I know I won't be censored for telling the truth.
Do opposing viewpoints hurt your fee fees?
everyone can make their own decisions. and do not need your opinions about what you think is right. if you had integrity maybe youd debate elon on twitter instead of sticking your head in the sand to avoid words that hurt your feelings.;
It still does not make sense for Elon to choose someone who's part of the WEF.
I'm sure there are others he could have chosen. This is giving the wrong perception. I'm sorry but as long as she's running the company I won't trust her or Elon... This is not good folks!
Maybe Elon is not the guy we thought he was.
He is a useful tool of China. Everyone is who tries to sell or manufacture there. I don't get how stupid white folk still don't get it, especially management and jobs made of 3 letters starting with a C like CEO or COO, etc. Those morons still think there is good money to be made in China, then all their products get copied, the get kicked out of the Chinese market and are left with nothing having given all know-how and intel to the Chinese.
Business men and Shareholder are some of the scummiest and most supid folks I know, but they are great at lies and deceit - until they meet Chinese who are better at the lies and deceit and are backed up by a authoritarian government.
Think about the deindustrialization of the west, the unemployment, the brain drain - all thanks to greedy scum moves manufacturing to China, so they can drive a bigger car or buy another house.
"I, i, I, I, ah, ah, I, I, I, ah, um, I, I, I..."
