This critique, again, shows a complete lack of nuance and, dare I say it, considerable bias, something we ought not to expect from an historian, surely ? Far from being the purveyor of free speech, Musk has shown himself to be quite the reverse : he purchased Twitter and turned it into his personal fiefdom; he's kicked off independent professional fact checkers and replaced them with 'Community Notes', leading to the amplification of misinformation ; he's suspended accounts which challenge or mock him ; he's introduced Algorithmic adjustments which suppress certain viewpoints . Is this what Starkey means by 'anti-authoritarianism ' and free speech ? Funny, seems to me to be the behaviour of your typical US 'Frat Boy' who thinks that money should be able to buy him anything he wants, including influence over the British government. Truth is, he's a foreign national, a carpet-bagger interfering in our domestic affairs - wasn't Brexit supposed to be about sovereignty ?
