Most folks on the left REALLY hate... I don't quite know why. Maybe mommy and daddy issues. They don't seem to understand math either.
Tangent but related:A California billionaire is running for the senate. Why? To destroy Elon Musk. It appears even his fellow dems aren't too crazy about it, even if they hate Musk too.A couple of interesting points from the article as to why he's using a senate run to do this:Political ads cost less, so he gets more bang for the buck in his Musk dissing, and there are apparently some special free speech rules as a political candidate that let him kinda say whatever he wants about Musk without any burden of proof or civil liability for slander.This guy must really hate Musk.https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/16/don-odowd-elon-musk-00025688
^"I heard speculation that he will find proof elements of the Govt or the parties are paying to push propaganda."But you have no proof of that.I repeat:1.There is no proof without evidence.2. There is no evidence without investigation.3. There is no investigation without suspicion.4. But suspicion without proof is paranoia, so shut up, you paranoid conservative.
Why are they afraid of a champion of free speech? Why such a frenzy of self-imposed terror? — James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) April 17, 2022
This is how #Twitter deals with free speech. The warning came up within two seconds of posting this tweet. pic.twitter.com/hEh8XpCpIl — James Woods (@RealJamesWoods) April 17, 2022

But it seems like a lot of people never go "up" from 4, "...suspicion without proof is paranoia, so shut up, you paranoid conservative," since they don't want to be labeled as paranoid (in the street sense.)So speculation/suspicion/fear of approbation seems to impede the rest of the process:"But you have no proof, so shut up, you paranoid right-winger, you."Terry "Did you ever watch an alley cat cross the alley?," 230RN
BREAKING: Elon Musk has 1. $25.5B in financing for Twitter from a group of banks led by Morgan Stanley—includes $12.5B in margin loan against his Tesla shares. 2. The rest of the money ($21 B) is coming out of his own pocket. (SEC filing) Translation: THIS GUY IS SERIOUS. — Trish Regan (@trish_regan) April 21, 2022
Twitter says it will no longer allow advertisers on its site who deny the scientific consensus on climate change, echoing a policy already in place at Google. https://t.co/k81ii345em — The Associated Press (@AP) April 23, 2022
“Ads shouldn’t detract from important conversations about the climate crisis,” the company said in a statement outlining its new policy Friday. There was no indication that the change would affect what users post on the social media site, which along with Facebook has been targeted by groups seeking to promote misleading claims about climate change. The announcement coinciding with Earth Day came hours before the European Union agreed upon a deal requiring big tech companies to vet their sites more closely for hate speech, disinformation and other harmful content.
