☆ Is nuclear energy the answer to a sustainable future? Experts are divided
  + stars: | 2023-08-22 | by ( Lim Hui Jie | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
Nuclear power has been touted as a proven, safe way of producing clean energy, but why isn't it more widely adopted? Schroders noted that nuclear power is not only scalable, but much cleaner — emitting just 10-15 grams of CO2 equivalent per kilowatt hour. That's the reason why nations are having a second look at nuclear power, Shellenberger said. A report by global campaigning network Greenpeace in March 2022 was of the position that besides the commonly held concern of nuclear safety, nuclear energy is too expensive and too slow to deploy compared to other renewables. Greenpeace acknowledged that "all in all, nuclear power stations score comparable with wind and solar energy."

☆ Robert F. Kennedy Jr. compares Elon Musk to patriots who died fighting in the American Revolution, blames anti-depressants for mass shootings
  + stars: | 2023-06-05 | by ( John Cook | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Elon Musk hosted RFK Jr. in a bizarre Twitter Spaces conversation littered with falsehoods and conspiracy theories. Kennedy compared Musk to patriots who died in the Revolutionary War. "Thank you for your service to our country, Elon," Kennedy said. Musk, who is South African but has American citizenship, bought Twitter last year for $44 billion. He also laid the blame for the massive increase in mass shootings not on guns, but on pharmaceutical companies for marketing antidepressants.

☆ Elon Musk says it was 'not cool' for Democrats to ask Twitter Files reporter Matt Taibbi to reveal his sources in a hearing

Elon Musk said it wasn't cool for Democrats to ask journalist Matt Taibbi to reveal his sources. Rep. Sylvia Garcia asked Taibbi if Musk first approached him, but he refused to answer. In response to a clip shared from the hearing, Musk tweeted: "I'm not his source, but, yeah, obviously asking journalists to reveal sources is not cool." Garcia asked Taibbi in the hearing if Musk was his direct source behind the files. Plaskett tweeted on Thursday: "No one was interested in revealing 'journalists'' sources.
☆ Elon Musk Is Transforming Twitter, Not Killing It

On March 9, 2023, journalists Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger testified before a congressional hearing on the growth of 'a censorship-industrial complex' that violates the right to free speech. Images: AP/AFP/Getty Images/Zuma Press Composite: Mark KellyElon Musk is building Twitter into something better, bigger, safer and, above all, freer. The eccentric billionaire is creating one of the most powerful media platforms the world has ever seen. The CEO’s quick-witted lesson on free expression has since made the rounds on the platform, racking up well over 20 million views. That’s impressive reach—as was the company’s performance during the World Cup, when it hosted 147 billion impressions in about four weeks.
☆ Elon Musk gets a kick out of seeing information from the 'Twitter Files' released onto the platform, Matt Taibbi says
  + stars: | 2023-02-14 | by ( Kate Duffy | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Matt Taibbi says Elon Musk gets a kick out of seeing information released via the "Twitter Files." "He gets a kick out of seeing all this stuff come out on Twitter," Taibbi said on the podcast, referring to Musk. Taibbi is one of the journalists who released the "Twitter Files," which came about after Musk acquired the platform. As part of the Twitter Files, Taibbi has posted lengthy threads containing leaked internal emails, messages, and other information he found. Later that month, Musk accused "corporate journalism" of failing to side with the people over the "Twitter Files."

Elon Musk doesn't seem to like Davos very much at all. Musk this week questioned how the World Economic Forum is 'even a thing' and compared it to 4Chan.

☆ Elon Musk claims the FBI paid Twitter to ‘censor info from the public.’ Here’s what the Twitter Files actually show
  + stars: | 2022-12-20 | by ( Oliver Darcy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
The embattled billionaire, perhaps seeking to distract from the chaos he has wrought at his social media company, is making grossly misleading claims about Twitter and the FBI. In a tweet Tuesday, Musk wrote, “Government paid Twitter millions of dollars to censor info from the public.” As supposed proof, Musk shared the latest installment of the so-called “Twitter Files” published the day before by environmentalist and writer Michael Shellenberger. Musk’s claim has absolutely saturated right-wing media. If you rely on Fox News or talk radio or one of the online outlets that makes up the constellation of right-wing media, you likely believe the biggest scandal since Watergate is unfolding. A sitting Republican congressman even said on Tuesday he was in favor of halting “all funding” for the FBI over the story.
