The facts are there for all to see, but Facebook, MSNBC, Google and others in the main stream Fake News business, thrashed the NY Post when they ran the story on Hunter’s laptop. They said it was fake news. And the Hillary (Lock Her UP) cabal which planted fake evidence, paid for a fake dossier, lied to the court, was all Russian disinformation. But suddenly, the shoe is on the other foot.
Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, who served during Bill Clinton’s presidency, wrote in a column published Friday that Elon Musk was “out of control,” and argued he needed to be reined in.
“He may be the richest man in the world. He may own one of the world’s most influential social media platforms. But that doesn’t mean we’re powerless to stop him,” Reich wrote, including a list of six things people could do to rein in Musk.
After Musk purchased Twitter in 2022, now known as X, Reich deemed the purchase “dangerous nonsense.” He argued Musk’s purchase was “just about power,” rather than free speech.
“In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission should demand that Musk take down lies that are likely to endanger individuals – and if he does not, sue him under Section Five of the FTC Act,” Reich argued. “Musk’s free-speech rights under the first amendment don’t take precedence over the public interest.”
The former labor secretary also suggested the U.S. government terminate its contracts with Musk’s Space X.
