Elon's pet LLM chat bot. The one that he recently tweaked temporarily(?) to spread South African "white genocide" conspiracy theories on Twitter because... well because what else would you expect Elon to spend his time doing?
It also got tweaked to spread Holocaust denial after that.
Oh, I see.
Ugh. Billionaires should get restrictions on the stuff they are allowed to publish
Billionaires should not exist
Alrighty, I changed my vote to this option
Billionaires can and do use their money to make those restrictions disappear. Just like millionaires used their money to remove the restrictions on getting more money to become billionaires.

why should wealth explicitly affect the ruleset by which you play? You are right, it shouldn't. That's why billionaires shouldn't be able to own newspapers.
Elaborate on why politicians should be exempt
they in some sense represent the nation, one orange piece of shit shouldn't be about to ruin the reputation without some punishment.
Well that’s about Trump, not politicians broadly. But if we assume that’s the issue across the board, is the problem that politicians are able to represent us with their words, or that politicians are able to escape consequences for their words?
The core issue is clearly that money can be used to bypass rules.
