Quote of the Day
“Elon Musk has long promoted and enabled hateful speech and it is clear that he is not committed to hosting a platform that builds productive, respectful dialogue. With Elon Musk’s endorsement of a monstrous and dangerous antisemitic lie, I can no longer justify using the X platform for any reason.”
Spilka is leaving X, the app formerly known as Twitter, after CEO Elon Musk endorsed a “monstrous and dangerous antisemitic” post, she said.
