Tucker Carlson announced Tuesday that he is making his next move through Twitter as his lawyers accused Fox News of fraud and breach of contract in a separate letter.
Carlson first revealed in a nearly three-minute video that he would be taking his talk show and other future projects to the social media platform after lambasting mainstream media’s stranglehold over the public square.
Twitter CEO Elon Musk says the level of access government agencies had within the social media giant came as a massive shock to him.
“The degree to which various government agencies effectively had full access to everything that was going on at Twitter blew my mind,” he said. “I was not aware of that.”
An early draft of the treaty reportedly included a measure for governments to reserve 20% of any tests, vaccines, or treatments developed for the WHO to distribute in poorer countries.
An initial “zero draft” from last year outlining ideas for how the WHO can strengthen its preparedness and response to health emergencies called on the global body to establish a “new global system for surveillance” and “to deploy proactive countermeasures against misinformation and social media attacks.”
Twitter CEO Elon Musk released information through journalist Matt Taibbi Friday afternoon showing that Twitter was working in conjunction with then-Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden’s team, removing tweets that team Biden wanted deleted.
Musk said that he decided to release the information because it was “necessary to restore public trust” in the platform after it censored the New York Post’s bombshell report about Hunter Biden’s laptop just weeks before the 2020 presidential election.
Twitter shares plunged more than 10% during Friday’s trading session after Elon Musk said in a tweet that a deal for the company is temporarily on hold.
Twitter shares popped over 5% on Monday after the company’s board unanimously accepted Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s $44 billion offer to take the social media giant private.
Elon Musk has taken a seat on the board of Twitter after becoming the biggest single shareholder. Musk bought a 9.2% share in the social media giant.
Parag Agrawal Twitter’s chief executive said: “Through conversations with Elon in recent weeks, it became clear to us that he would bring great value to our Board.
“He’s both a passionate believer and intense critic of the service which is exactly what we need on Twitter, and in the boardroom, to make us stronger in the long-term. Welcome Elon!”
Elon Musk’s start up Neuralink has been working on a “brain-machine interface” . This week the secretive start-up revealed it has been testing brain implants on animals, and that it has successfully placed an implant in a monkey brain allowing it to control a computer.
Musk hopes that the implant will be used initially on patients with serious brain injuries of diseases allowing them to communicate their thoughts. He plans to seek FDA approval to begin clinical trials as early as 2020.
Neuralink works by inserting thin strands into the brain, via a tiny robot controlled by a neurosurgeon. The stands then interface with the electrical activity of the brain.
Musk’s worry about the current threat AI poses to humanity is well know. And he hopes his new technology will allow humans and machines to work together in “symbiosis”, so humans will not be left behind in the AI revolution.
