He's very good at convincing the public all those things are true. That's for sure.
But...
Look who's still head of Trust and Safety at Twitter.
Look at his new CEO.
Look at the fact he promised to restore banned accounts -- and then unbanned a few popular people so they'd say he unbanned them -- and the rest of us get emails telling us our account will remain banned with zero reason given. TONS of people here and PDW and Truth Social got a rejection email.
Look at Kristen Ruby's reporting on the machine learning cencorship still ongoing.
I'm not saying you should definitely believe he's a black hat -- I AM saying that believing he's a white hat simply because he has the appearance of often aligning with our interests is a HORRIBLE reason to trust him.
And while he did APPEAR to remove CP from Twitter -- you should look into the main woman who was promoting he was doing this, Eliza Bleu who is not at ALL what she appeared to be and was exposed.
Of course the accounts posting proof of her lies were also banned.
And they used the same strategy of unbanning just a few popular accounts so that most people believed it was a mistake and then refused to speak on it further.
Not to mention people are STILL being banned regularly for telling the truth. For saying Trump won. For saying men are men and women are women. They just stopped banning POPULAR accounts so it doesn't get noticed or can get written off as a mistake because "see look who they unbanned!"
Elon may be a white hat. I definitely think it's possible. But thinking his public moves represent his private motivations is dumb dumb dumb dumb
Musk is an Aspie who is on his own side. The fact that his personal goals align with our sometimes doesn't mean he's any colored hat.
