Inciting Rioters in Britain: Elon Musk’s Plans for America Under Scrutiny
Implications of Rioting and Billionaire Influence
The presidential election is three months away, stirring fears about what a billionaire like Elon Musk could do if he contests a result. What if he decides democracy is overrated? Just over four years ago, an insurrectionist mob engaged in a chilling assault on the Capitol, showcasing how effectively online networks can rally support for dangerous activities. Now, we are in a different climate, where the billionaires are less restrained.
The Shift in Tech Platforms
During the tumultuous year of 2020, social media companies were under immense pressure to control the narrative. Twitter employed over 4,000 individuals in “trust and safety” to combat harmful content while Facebook attempted to mitigate backlash by banning political ads that could delegitimize voting. Academic units specializing in election integrity also worked to flag disinformation. The stakes have never been higher.
Conclusion: Preparing for Potential Turmoil
With the stakes high and democracy on the line, vigilance is essential. As the American public prepares for the electoral season, the actions of influential figures must be scrutinized closely.
