Elon Musk (51) is on everyone’s lips these days. The Tesla and SpaceX boss and richest person in the world is also helping with his takeover of Twitter. Musk sees the short message service as the all-encompassing information portal of the future. He just did a live broadcast on the platform 1.1 million views away. These are achievements that many traditional media can only dream of. Musk also declares war on them. The more Twitter improves, “the less relevant conventional news becomes,” says Musk. And that clearly puts him in danger.
Musk accuses established media and related influential circles of suppressing free speech. In the crosshairs: the American Democrats, who would put pressure on the media. Which is of course not without risk, Musk warns again. In May, he already joked about his possible premature death. “It was nice getting to know you,” as he died “under mysterious circumstances,” Musk said on Twitter.
Now he repeated those words. He has “no suicidal thoughts,” the multibillionaire noted on Saturday, revealing details of how Twitter suppressed the narrative surrounding future presidential son Hunter Biden, 52, ahead of the 2020 US presidential election.
“My Suicide Wouldn’t Be Real”
“If I killed myself, it’s not real,” Musk said during a live stream to the so-called “Twitter Files.” These reveal what were once private communications between former Twitter executives during the 2020 presidential election. Musk released internal documents showing that Twitter collaborated with US government officials to suppress news of a laptop belonging to the son of then-presidential candidate Joe Biden, 80.
Three weeks before the election, the New York Post reported on discriminatory files found on the laptop. Among other things, e-mails were leaked about the business relationships of the Biden family in Ukraine. Twitter promptly suspended the paper’s account and banned users from sharing links to the story.
McAfee and Epstein
Musk’s suicidal thoughts, which were denied during his lifetime, are reminiscent of the sudden and unexpected death of antivirus pioneer and multimillionaire John McAfee († 75), who died last year in a Spanish prison. This after McAfee also stated that he was not suicidal. His death must be a crime.
In this context, conspiracy theories also refer to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein († 66), who died in custody in New York in August 2019. Epstein was associated with the powerful, famous and wealthy of this world. Official cause of death: suicide. Epstein’s brother Mark (69) assumed a cover-up: “I don’t think he hanged himself. I think my brother was killed and people lie to save themselves.
Musk also wondered about the Epstein case in June, why the pedophile’s client list hadn’t been leaked yet. Musk accused leading US media of suppressing reporting and protecting powerful circles. “The only thing more remarkable than the Justice Department not sharing the list is that no one in the media cares. Don’t you think that’s strange?”
Musk also doesn’t mince words about the FTX scandal
Musk also sees cover-ups at the highest level in dealing with the scandal surrounding the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX and its ex-CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (30). Bankman-Fried claims to have donated $40 million to Democrats for election campaigns.
The intrepid Musk tweeted, “This is just the publicly disclosed number. His actual support for the Democratic election is probably over $1 billion. The money has gone somewhere, so where is it?”
Leading U.S. media is taking a surprising amount of credit for suspected billionaire fraudster Bankman-Fried, who claims to have been unaware of an $8 billion hole in his crypto empire. Last week, the 30-year-old participated via video at a “New York Times” conference. The moderator asked tame questions and told Bankman-Fried to say goodbye to the applause. This while the suspected criminal probably buried the money of about a million investors in the sand. A month after the collapse, US judicial authorities are still silent on the matter. (kes)
