Pls make the same kind of video for Bill Gates

I dislike that at the beginning of the video you suggest there will be interviews with former employees and even show a 5 sec clip of one. Yet, for there are none throughout the remainder of the video. I watched this whole 40 min ordeal just to not even see that part that had me interested in the first place. After scanning your references, they don't appear to be in there either. So idk why even bring them up in the video if you don't actually reference them or showcase them in any part of the video.

The fact that they didn’t name his perfume “Elon’s Musk” makes me sad

Musk after watching this video: How much for YouTube ?

After watching this I feel that I know more about Harris than Musk.

42 minutes on Musk? Strap in boys

I can not stress enough how important twitter is for turkish opposition. Twitter is only social media platform in Turkey that is widely used and you can interact with. It is the organizing place of Gezi Park Protests,it is the place where journalists publish their investigations,it is the place where people who had forced to escape Turkey get their news and share their beliefs and information with Turkey,it is the place that international news enter to Turkey unfiltered. It is vital. It is the radio of 3rd world countries.

I want to see Ground news bias meter on this one

I bet Elon really enjoyed this video until 18:10

So I analyzed the sources that were provided in this video and have come noticed three facts that may be interesting. 1. The news sites which are being used as sources have got a very great track record of being left-leaning. Not worthy Sources being: -The Guardian -CNN -YahooNews -WashingtonPost -CBSNews 2. The study which has been shown at 30:54 states and I am quoting here: "However, when making comparisons based on the amplification of individual politician’s accounts, rather than parties in aggregate, we found no association between amplification and party membership." and "Recent arguments that different political parties pursue different strategies on Twitter may provide an explanation as to why these disparities exist. However, understanding the precise causal mechanism that drives amplification invites further study that we hope our work initiates." and "Apart from the Home timeline, Twitter users are exposed to several other forms of algorithmic content curation on the platform that merit study through similar experiments. Political amplification is only one concern with online recommendations." Which is something to take into consideration when regarding this study as is in this video. That this is just one aspect of algorithmic manipulation and not the only one. This does not prove there is no tampering with the algorithms, merely that this type of tampering is likely not present. Something crucial which should be regarded when trying to make an unbiased evaluation. 3: The numbers shown at 34:10 are also taken quite out of context, let me explain: The statement that "old Twitter" has only said yes to 50% and X has said yes to 80% of request is true, but there is another key metric here which is called "Partial". Old Twitter has accepted request partially about 47% of the time and X has allowed requests partially about 19% of the time. Omitting these numbers form the selection set is unbelievably misinformative. Also about 85% of these requests come form Germany and Turkey. Looking into the Lumendatabase we can also see that there are no request form Turkey in the span from October 2021- October 2022 that have been fully denied by Old Twitter, but still quite a few that have only been approved partially.

Would you consider it to be a conflict of interest that 5 of the authors from the study you site worked for Twitter at the time??

Hey Johnny, you’ll probably never read this comment but I think I know why Elon had his pivot. I’ve been a shareholder way longer than most Tesla stans and have been watching Elon’s progression in real time, before most people had even heard of him. The pivot came because of the pandemic but it was the final straw of 4 events I see as formative to his current world view. There was the jury trial Tesla lost regarding racism and resulted in a gigantic jury award (later overturned). Elon prides himself on being race-agnostic, and as a youth, he was much more willing to be friends with black South Africans than other whites. He was very confident Tesla was going to win the trial, and likely blames the “woke mind virus” for the unjustifiably high award. Then there was his daughter coming out as transgender. There are few details about this but I think it is safe to say Elon did not take this well. They have no relationship with each other and again Elon likely blames woke ideology for this. He keeps saying that he “is a liberal”, but he thinks the political spectrum has moved so far left that it makes him look like a conservative. Then there is his sense of betrayal by the Democratic Party,(which he voted for up until either the 2016 or 2020 election) which has never embraced him despite the fact that he made the electric car happen (along with improving large-scale electrical storage). Because Tesla is not unionized, the Dems cannot get too close to him for fear of alienating their union base. He has been repeatedly shut out or ignored by the Dems on many initiatives, whereas e.g. Mary Barra was given undue credit for innovating in the EV space. Lastly, the pandemic happened, and as someone else here had mentioned, he was angry that the government had the power to shut down his factories. He himself had a different view of the seriousness of the pandemic, and felt that he was being muzzled and censored for his view in the early months and days of the pandemic.

8:08 "Patents were not copyrighted" That's not how patents work. Patents and copyrights are two distinct forms of intellectual property protection, patents can't be copyrighted.

Do they get severance pay? Over here in Australasia, you get redundancy pay, your holiday pay paid out and your superannuation is transferable.

Elon: “make the algorithm reduce Johnny Harris’ tweets reach by a factor of a thousand”. 🤣🤣🤣

"the patents weren't copyrighted" That's... an impressive level of not understanding the terms you're using.
