Let’s refer to him as “US oligarch Elon Musk” for accuracy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_oligarch
Complete media capture…there has to be independent and alternative journalism that has captured some of the talent leaving these takeovers…
Produced by HBO Documentary Films, Musk is scheduled to air on HBO next year following a theatrical run. HBO was previously owned by Warner Bros. but is now under the control of Ellison’s Skydance.
It sounds like US oligarch Elon Musk might censor both theater release and streaming. I hope the director has good contract that allows him to re-release elsewhere in this situation.
Racist billionaire Elon Musk will now have access to an even larger media platform to promote hate, disinformation, and praise of himself after he invested a reported $1 billion in Skydance, the media juggernaut that owns Paramount and Warner Bros
also to silence the documentary about him, which is 4hrs long.
You guys got any laws against monopolies over there or what? You just watch shit like that and shrug? Set some shit on fire ffs
Laws are meaningless when the people charged with enforcing them have their own agendas.
Yes, but only if they are from the wrong political spectrum.
There simply shouldn’t be any billionaires.
Private power is what needs to be capped, across all forms.
There simply shouldn’t be political extremists. But here we go again. Maybe suggest a guillotine while you are at it.
There simply shouldn’t be political extremists
In a system that considers Medicare For All, abolishing ICE, vehemently opposing genocide, and decreasing funding for the most bloated military in the history of mankind “extreme”, there absolutely HAS to be “extremists” on the end of the spectrum not currently in government.
Bootlicker
It would be enough if there were (once again) reasonable top tax rates and if monopolies were broken up. The situation we find ourselves in today is a direct consequence of deregulation dating back to the 1980s.
There is nothing political extremist about basing one’s views on reality.
Those are actually pretty good views how society should work. I would even vote for you. But what makes it extreme is when you start suggesting our side has to balance the other extreme by going to the same extreme measures. You go from “killing is bad, they do it so they are bad” to “killing is OK as long as we do it to them”. You lost the part about avoiding killing, entered a slippery slope and tomorrow you are killing every dissident under the sun. That’s how every dictatorship starts and we should educate ourselves about it and limit ourselves to the bare minimum what is necessary to go back to a well regulated society. Locking up overly aggressive billionaires? Sure. Calling for their beheading? Should be a nono.
I didn’t say anything of the sort, and I never would, since I reject political violence. I’m simply saying that there shouldn’t be any billionaires, since the concentration of too much power in a single place is clearly harmful to a fair and free society. This is by no means a call for violence—you’re reading that into my statement.
Maybe suggest a guillotine while you are at it.
Why are you saying it as if it were a bad thing?
Guillotine for the billionaire, please!
damn immigrants
I’m sure there won’t be any conflict of interest here, especially when the investment is from such a “free speech absolutist”. By “free speech absolutist” I mean someone who chases Special K with Absolute vodka and bans people from X who criticize him.
