  • I don't normally cover stuff like this, but it made us laugh so we decided to take a look at Elon's recent interview with a BBC journalist. The guy thought he had a "gotcha" moment. What he really had was a train wreck.

      Every single one of these narratives would crumble to dust if people just pushed back a little. Whether it's interviewees or interviewers ... because it goes both ways. I'm sure you CAN find ample evidence of more hate speech on Twitter now if you bothered to do an analysis, but then you'd also have to look at the reasons. Is it because the company is turning over a new leaf and in the middle of restructuring? Is it because a lot of trolls have seen this as the perfect opportunity to spew their hatred? Are those actually troll accounts that try to besmirch the name of Elon Musk?
      And this goes doubly for any politician... they get away with being the absolute morons they are, because nobody actually challenges them anymore. They're bloody stupid!
      Musk is certainly not a saint, a good interviewer could easily grill him on multiple things, but that'd require actual research and brains.

      Fortunately for Elon, he has the power and influence to be heard. But for 99% of other humans, once they're censored for no reasons, that's it; they're invisible. You can't speak out against anything unless you have the power and influence to be heard despite the censorship, trolls, mass-flagging, etc.

I had to drop a class quickly when it became obvious the professor was trashing papers the papers of students who she perceived didn't fit her political bias.

      I only got through my degree because I chose to focus on coverage of Islamic extremism, and contrasted to coverage of Palestinian militants, Tamil tigers, Darfur etc. Lefty professors were excited by my work, which showed that lefty outlets were obviously treating these differently based on political expediency.
      It was fun. Quote plenty of Chomsky and point at "Yeah, how comes you ignored the Darfur genocide but did three months of headlines about one dead Palestinian? Oh right, because the guy who shot him wears a little hat"

      Early 2000s I had a class called "rhetoric and reason". I had the same issue, prof would slash 20 points off a 20 page paper with one typo if she didn't like the position.
      She was pretty easy to figure out, I wrote a paper about gender pay discrepancy at the university for professors, for the final. I injected quite a few logical fallacies and several spelling mistakes. She held my paper and gave it to me after class, I got an a and she was gushing about how I'd pointed out systemic issues she didn't even knew existed (they didnt, I made it up).
      I wish I was making this story up. The class started with around 30 students, there were 5 of us by the end of the semester, everyone else dropped out.

I mean, think of Musk what you will, but you should at least assume that by now he's pretty experienced in discussing these topics. Expecting him to falter at the first poignant question is just dumb, journalist or not.

      Nothing really is going to happen. Elon is hatred by news media, so nobody actually important is going to widespread it. Elon has to tell his engineers to boost his own tweets on Twitter because he's becoming less relevant, so less people who actually matter are also going to see it on Twitter because that place is losing more and more users. Then the people who already like him are already in their little bubble so it's nothing but a pat on the back, but they are irrelevant because they'll follow him regardless and are shrinking in number.
      People who liked Elon already will still like him, people who hated him will still hate him, zero has changed.
      So honestly in the end probably 2 years from now he'll simply be remembered in this moment for being an asshole, because we will have moved on to another figure. Elon loses long term, welcome to politics.

    I had a mostly good experience with J-school. In spite of whatever their biasee may have been, the professors in the actual journalism college actually encouraged open dialog. I often found myself breaching necessary subjects others wouldn't or feared to, but when everybody opened up, none of my professors discouraged that conversation and didn't silence anybody. I got to know the ethics orofessor a little bit who was also the president of the journalism college within my university at the time. I took media ethics during the 2016 election and would often be one of the only ones in the class to point out the massive and repeated media ethics violations in corporate press coverage. Some others did, but it was mostly myself who initiated that conversation, and literally nobody else seemed to know about the Wikileaks contents that came out at the time. I told the ethics professor that I felt like I was the crazy one noticing things nobody else did. He told me that I had good instincts and would make a great investigative reporter, but he looked at me with a sad look in his eye and said that "Current political realities do not allow for the open coverage of certain uncomfortable truths." Probably paraphrasing, but that's dang close to what he said. Witnessing the onslaught of lies in the 2016 election cycle, Wikileaks revelations, hearing Stefan Molyneux's The Truth About McCarthyism presentation, and this reluctant confession from my media ethics professor/college president pretty much killed whatever rose-tinted aspirations I had about speaking truth to power in mainstream corporate press. If I ever do media coverage at all, it could only be independently or with a smaller organization I can reasonably trust who explicitly share my values.

    Hate speech is something invented by people who think words and silence are both violence. There's a reason the phrase "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me" exists. Being offended or hurt by words isn't something someone else does to you, it's something you do when presented with the words or actions of another person. It's a choice. We all have free will to react however we want, and these people choose to be offended.

    One of the best ways to destroy someone’s argument, especially if it’s biased and baseless, is to ask them questions. If they have a bad argument, then they will eventually defeat themselves. And it’s always better that they defeat themselves with their own words then you do, since there will be others who want to believe what the person is arguing, because they themselves are biased.
    Elon demonstrates this perfectly. He barely gives any counter argument. But with every question he asks the interviewer’s argument gets worse. A more intelligent and well spoken interviewer would have been able to hold a better argument. But this interviewer did not come prepared to answer questions or defend their argument/ narrative. He came prepared to put Elon on the defensive. It’s a classic case in modern mainstream media. See how easily they are defeated when questioned, instead of playing into their hand and letting them force you to defend yourself.

The beauty of free speech you can choice to listen to that person or ignore them. No one is forcing anyone to read or listen to hate speech. It’s also an individuals choice if you will let it bother you. As a people we need to let go off all this trash that “bothers us”. Live your life and enjoy. Filter out what you can that you don’t agree with. If a movie studio wants to push there “message” let them.

    The best part of all this is that Musk published the entire interview, while the BBC version got chopped down to about 1-2 mins of content not showing any of the parts where Musk worked him like a part time job. Then they got so much backlash that they published the entire clip on their site only...basically just proved his point for him (regarding state censorship of the BBC).

    That story about the journalism classroom reminds me of an experience I had in one of my AP English classes back in high school.
    We were tasked with writing a persuasive essay, so I did. I think it was an essay on what a scam the Social Security System is. I got one comment back from my teacher in big red letters: "Stop Standing on your Soap Box." Utterly confused, I asked her what she meant by that, since the assignment WAS to write what I did. She couldn't give me a satisfying explanation of what I was doing wrong, so I just shrugged, took the lower grade, and moved on.

      Problem is that it's extremely difficult to get accredited, or for your graduates to get jobs. It'd have to be all from the ground up. Really, though, I think the better solution is to erode this notion of needing a piece of paper to do journalism. Be a doctor or lawyer or engineer? Sure, but to write an article? Plenty of intelligent people do that with no official education in the topic.
