I'd argue Musk and Zuck are two of the most dangerous men on the planet. Through their twisted ideology and profits they have destroyed countless lives by letting misinformation proliferate on their social media platforms.

There's going to be a reckoning with these tools.

What about Peter Thiel, the guy from Flock, Sam Altman? I think they are also right there

Oh, very much so.

I, in particular, resentfully resent Sam Altman implying all the memory chips in the world belongs to him.

When The Social Reckoning came out recently I saw several misguided comments from people that the title didn't make sense because there was never a reckoning for Zuckerberg. Right! That's because it was us who faced the reckoning. For enriching these people in exchange for platforms that are the path of least resistance for trading cat pictures.

What?

Misinformation cost lives. Period.

You're the idiot.
