Voices: The tweet that has finally taught Elon Musk a lesson

The graphic vaguely suggested, predictably enough, a Democratic (or “far left”) conspiracy to murder Donald Trump. Maybe it’s being run out of the pizza restaurant the Clintons supposedly used as a front for their international paedo ring. Who knows? Musk was certainly trying to be funny, but with a satirical edge that is quite beyond him. It made the wisecrack even less amusing and more of an indictment of the tweeter himself. So he took it down.

It’s worth pointing out that there would have been no chance of the Twitter moderators taking any action about such a hateful tweet for the obvious reason that he owns the platform, fired most of them – and removed almost all of the old rules against hate and violence; all because he is a self-styled “free speech absolutist”. This means that his social media channel is so clogged up with racism, Holocaust denial and neo-fascism that it’s almost impossible to breathe on there.
