He said that moderation is working well if "the most extreme 10% of the left and the right are equally frustrated."

That actually kind of mirrors my politics. I think freedom is what you get when every movement, crusade, and ideology simultaneously fails.

This isn't nihilism. It's a belief that problems are best solved without force.



Sounds like enlightened centrism to me. Which is itself an ideology.


I only see that term used by the left as an insult when it is a perfectly reasonable take.


That is two unsubstantiated claims in one sentence :)

yeah that sounds great but the devil is in the details and they have always been. I feel like Musk gets tunnel vision in his thought process. Like he goes "A leads to B, B leads to C, and then C leads to D and done." without contemplating the complexities along the way. It's interesting because he's not naive to business and how things work. He's certainly gotten things done in timelines that people thought impossible and even laughed in his face but other times he has wildly missed.

The problem occurs when those ten percents use the ensuing outrage to recruit.


And those 10% are the most vocal and loud ones. So if your platform has those 10% on both sides pissed I don't want to see the results...


Maybe the reason they're pissed is that Twitter is downplaying their tweets, making them less loud.


That's a totally unquantifiable metric.
