This is a transcript of the first part of the interview. The BBC guy lied about his experience and Musk throws it all over him. Interviewer (00:00:00 In Sachs that used to be in content moderation. And we’ve spoken to people very recently who were involved in moderation. And they just say there’s not enough people to police this stuff. Particularly around hate speech in the company. Is that something that you- Elon Musk (00:00:15 What hate speech are you talking about? I mean, you use Twitter? Interviewer (00:00:17 Right. Elon Musk (00:00:18 Do you see a rise in hate speech? Just your personal anecdote, do you? I don’t. Interviewer (00:00:23 Personally, my For You, I would see I get more of that kind of content. Yeah. Personally. But I’m not going to talk for the rest of Twitter. Elon Musk (00:00:33 You see more hate speech personally? Interviewer (00:00:35 I would say see more hateful content in that. Elon Musk (00:00:38 Content you don’t like, or hateful. Describe a hateful thing? Interviewer (00:00:42 Yeah, I mean just content that will solicit a reaction. Something that may include something that is slightly racist or slightly sexist. Those kinds of things. Elon Musk (00:00:54 So you think if it’s something is slightly sexist it should be banned? Interviewer (00:00:57 No, I’m not saying anything. I’m saying- Elon Musk (00:01:00 I’m just curious. I’m trying to understand what you mean by “hateful content.” And I’m asking for specific examples. And you just said that if something is slightly sexist, that’s hateful content. Does that mean that it should be banned? Interviewer (00:01:14 Well, you’ve asked me whether my feed, whether it’s got less or more. I’d say it’s got slightly more. Elon Musk (00:01:20 That’s why I’m asking for examples. Can you name one example? Interviewer (00:01:23 I honestly don’t… Elon Musk (00:01:24 You can’t name a single example? Interviewer (00:01:28 I’ll tell you why. Because I don’t actually use that For You feed anymore. Because I just don’t particularly like it. Actually a lot of people are quite similar. I only look at my following. Elon Musk (00:01:36 You said you’ve seen more hateful content, but you can’t name a single example. Not even one. Interviewer (00:01:41 I’m not sure I’ve used that feed for the last three or four weeks. And I honestly couldn’t- Elon Musk (00:01:44 Then how could you see the hateful content? Interviewer (00:01:46 Because I’ve been using it. I’ve been using Twitter since you’ve taken it over for the last six months. Elon Musk (00:01:50 Then you must have at some point seen the For You hateful content. I’m asking for one example. Interviewer (00:01:54 Right. Elon Musk (00:01:55 And you can’t give a single one. Interviewer (00:01:56 And I’m saying- Elon Musk (00:01:57 Then I say, sir, that you don’t know what you’re talking about. Interviewer (00:02:00 Really? Elon Musk (00:02:00 Yes. Because you can’t give a single example of hateful content. Not even one tweet. And yet you claimed that the hateful content was high. That’s false. Interviewer (00:02:12 No. What I claimed- Elon Musk (00:02:13 You just lied. Interviewer (00:02:13 No, no. What I claimed was there are many organizations that say that that kind of information is on the rise. Now whether it has on my feed or not… Elon Musk (00:02:21 Give me one example. Interviewer (00:02:22 I mean, right. Elon Musk (00:02:22 You literally can’t give me one. Interviewer (00:02:24 I think it’s something like the Strategic Dialogue Institute in the UK. They will say that. So they- Elon Musk (00:02:30 People will say all sorts of nonsense. I’m literally asking for a single example and you can’t name one. Interviewer (00:02:34 Right. And as I’ve already said, I don’t use that feed. But let’s- Elon Musk (00:02:37 Then how did you know? You literally said- Interviewer (00:02:38 I don’t think this is getting anywhere. Elon Musk (00:02:39 You literally said you experienced more hateful content and then couldn’t name a single example. Interviewer (00:02:43 Right. And as I said- Elon Musk (00:02:44 That’s absurd. Interviewer (00:02:46 I haven’t actually looked at that feed. Elon Musk (00:02:48 Then how would you know if there’s hateful content? Interviewer (00:02:49 Because I’m saying that’s what I saw a few weeks ago. I can’t give you an exact example. Let’s move on. We only have a certain amount of time. Covid misinformation. Elon Musk (00:02:58 Amazing. mspart

The one for AOC was published in 2020. She should have been gone last election. Those pesky voters!! mspart

How often has this happened where an athlete leaves the university with eligibility left and then comes back a year or more later to use it up? mspart

It is worth coming here just to see the changes to the bottom of everyone's name. Bob's Buds. Hmmm mspart

So his WWE career is suspect at this point? Or are they allowing him to do this and he goes back to them afterwards? mspart

Musk stuffed that BBC interviewer on a number of things. The guy was not prepared to back up his questions with relevant facts and Musk skewered him. mspart

This was my first car. Was my grandma's, then my mom's, then my sister's then mine. The color is right (why my grandma picked that color I don't know), but the road wear is not. mspart

Now everyone is a Fletcher Hater. Funny how that happens. mspart

https://childmind.org/article/angry-kids-dealing-with-explosive-behavior/ I guess they are behind the times using this kind of language. mspart

Is lashing a bad word now? If so, when did that happen? mspart

BBC interviewer asks Musk what about all the hate. Musk asks for an example. None was given. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/excruciating-moment-elon-musk-turns-tables-on-bbc-interviewer-over-hate-tweets/ar-AA19Mmz1 The video of the exchange is on that site. Hilarious. The reporter/interviewer could not change topics fast enough because of his gotcha mentality. mspart

Back to RBY - US Nationals or no? mspart

Well, then we agree that we disagree on this subject. Thank you for explaining your position with clarity. mspart

1. Good, I'm glad that is your position. 2. Good I'm glad that is your position. 3. Would it be appropriate for K-3 who should be learning to read, write, and math it? Or is it more appropriate for older kids? Remember, the law only applies to K-3. IMO, No need to confuse the little guys. If they run into it with a friend, then they run into it with a friend. Their parents can help them work it out. Isn't that the way it has been since time immemorial? Kid has a question, the parents help them work through it. What the law is preventing is requiring that book and the ideas in it to be taught and required reading for K-3. That is all. mspart

https://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/3940490-i-was-screaming-before-you-interrupted-me-american-politics-has-become-amplified-rage/ This is quite long (too long to copy and paste here) but I suggest anyone with a desire to read something well written and well reasoned, this is it. It is by Jonathan Turley, who some of you may like or dislike. But I ask you to read what he has to say, and comment on if he seems reasonable here or completely off his looney head. I found this to be well reasoned and down the middle of the road. A good commentary that I think most would agree with on this topic. mspart

The defunding of police here in WA has caused a spike in crime. Same in Portland. I don't know about other big cities but Chicago is none to fun. Minneapolis has had to reverse course. Diverting the topic doesn't make any of this untrue and doesn't make Ds any less accountable for the effects of their policies. https://abcnews.go.com/US/12-major-us-cities-top-annual-homicide-records/story?id=81466453 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2022/09/11/united-states-major-cities-violent-crime-homicides-survey/8060734001/ https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/law-justice/seattle-violent-crime-hits-15-year-high-other-takeaways-from-new-report/ https://www.illinoispolicy.org/chicago-crime-spikes-in-2022-but-first-drop-in-murder-since-pandemic/ I notice you have not addressed the gender dysphoria aspect of this. I assume that you are in agreement with me on that one. mspart

Just so you all know, Bremerton is across Puget Sound from Seattle. The whole area west of Seattle is referred to as the peninsula. Bremerton is a naval shipyards type of area. Good for Thor to make it to D1. Not many from WA get that opportunity. And at a tough academic school as well. Best of luck to him. mspart

Well put. mspart

de, I don't disagree, with you on this point. But if an individual Russian can show they didn't dope and aren't doping, would you agree that a remedy should be available for them? I suppose the answer is that they don't compete for Russia but for some other made up entity's flag. But I would expect no more than half participation if the doping is that prevalent in Russia. mspart

It sounds like that is what he is doing. Which for fans, not the greatest, but it is no doubt the best path for him if he needs to heal. Is there any hope for his knees anymore? He needs bionics or something. mspart

Do I really need to define this for you? I hope not. Think George Floyd riots and fallout and I'm sure it will all come rushing back to you. mspart

They are all very good at doing that and reporters seem to always get played and move on. mspart

GWN, Which party pushed for defund the police? It may not be a majority of Ds that like this idea but it was Ds that pushed for it. Which part is pushing for youth to have access to puberty blockers and reassignment surgery? It certainly isn't the Rs. A majority of Ds may not hold that position, but the idea is pushed and backed by Ds. I don't think you can argue any of this. If a majority of Ds are not in favor of these things, why do they elect people who are? Sounds like a resorting of priorities is needed. I do agree that most people in the country are against these things whether D or R. But it is disingenous to say that Ds aren't pushing these things when it is demonstrable that they are. Just ask yourself, who was against the "don't say gay" law in FL which made it illegal to teach K-3 about sex, sexuality, and sexual dysphoria? R's or Ds? Just ask yourself, who is/was for and enacted defunding the police? Rs or Ds? We may be being sold a load of crap, but these things are not even close to being in dispute. mspart

I'm surprised Mike hasn't chimed in based on the title of this thread. mspart

Here is an interesting chart. Seems pretty cyclical. mspart
