We see accounts on twitter openly call for genocide on the Palestinians, to turn Gaza into a parking lot, posts comparing the Palestinians to rats (classic genocide 101, and sadly ironic given what happened in WWII germany), and utter dehumanization of Palestinians and Muslims in general, yet the accounts are not banned nor reprimanded.

That meeting was extremely suspicious to say the least, and no doubt what we're seeing is a result of it.

My opinion is that he got seriously blackmailed. Musk meets Netayahu 27 Nov, and on 12 December its announced that SpaceX loses appeal for 1B in funding from the FCC regarding Starlink. There's probably lots of variables for losing the appeal, but considering how far the isreali lobby goes I really wont be surprised that they had influence, considering he was making Starlink available in Gaza for free.

And this is just the surface we can see, I wonder how far the rabbit hole goes, hes probably in the top 5 most famous people in the world, whatever he says online will reverberate far, hence the israeli top priority being to change his mind carrot or stick. In addition, he admitted to having a mild form of Aspergers, so I guess social pressure and persuasion definitely impacts him differently than neurotypical folks.

Exactly. God knows what happened behind closed doors. I hope the truth emerges one day.

Theres all kinds of political articles on the front page coming up daily. From Russia and China, to Iran, to Republicans and Democrats, and Latin American politics. Whats been missing lately is Palestine. And thats mostly because they get flagged to oblivion because of the obvious overrepresentation of zionist voices on this platform and the tech community

Politics came to the tech community in the form of Israeli manipulation of tech platforms and militant, blacklisting Zionism from the VCs. Israel caused this.
