Muziekfan, niet links niet rechts, soms te open en eerlijk. Sta altijd open voor een goed gesprek.
Getrouwd sinds 1987 met Marjo en samen zorgen we voor elkaar. Van een zeer luxe leven teruggevallen naar een heel simpel bestaan. Maar ook dat bevalt prima.

Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference, a letter from an alleged X whistleblower.

"What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations."

theconcernedbird.substack.com/p/elon-musks...
I'm writing this with a heavy heart and no small amount of fear. As a former X (formerly Twitter) employee on an H1B visa, I can't reveal my identity without risking everything, but I can't stay silent any longer about what I saw and was made to do. When Elon Musk took over, everything changed. What started as a social media company became something much darker. I was part of a team that was directly ordered to manipulate Twitter's systems to influence the 2024 US presidential election. It wasn't subtle, and it wasn't ethical. We completely changed how the algorithm worked, pushing pro-Trump and right-wing posts to the top of people's feeds. To make it look balanced, we also boosted some left-wing critics of Democrats, but it was all carefully calculated. These changes didn't just affect Americans - they impacted users worldwide. One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza. These accounts looked completely real and pushed political messages that spread like wildfire. Havn't you noticed they all disappeared? Like magic. We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns, and because their goals aligned with ours, we looked the other way. Even when they clearly broke the rules, we didn't stop them. Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral. We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions. The moderation team became a tool for our agenda. We systematically silenced anyone who got in our way, enforcing the rules when it suited us and ignoring them when it didn't. Elon Musk himself was deeply involved in these decisions, often joking about being "Black Hat MAGA." What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations. The damage we've done is immeasurable, and I don't know if it can ever be fixed. People don't know what's real anymore, and that's exactly what we wanted. The pilot program for the Eliza AI Agent, was election interference. Eliza was release officially in October of 2024, but we had access to it before then thanks to Marc Andreessen. I'm terrified to be writing this, but I had to speak up. I just hope that someone with the power to do something about this sees this letter. You'll know what i’m saying is the truth by Elon's actions to the news someone spoke out. For more evidence look at the docs of Eliza AI Agent software. We left bread crumbs. Yours sincerely, A former employee who can't sleep at night.

He orchestrated a coup. It failed.

He was a convicted felon.

He rose to power on a wave of divisive propaganda and hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric.

He promised to make things great again.

He threatened to annex his neighbors.

I'm referring, of course, to Adolf Hitler.

Toch wel ff heavy. In één maand bye Twitter en bye TikTok. Ongelofelijk hoe je gewend (verslaafd) raakt aan die constante stroom van informatie. Nu nog maar alleen Facebook voor fam en vrienden en jullie SkyPeople.

Voor de eerste keer in mijn werkende leven ga ik op tweede kerstdag werken. En dat is hier in België niet vreemd, want daar kennen ze geen 2e kerstdag. 🤣

Toch wel jammer als je zelf met super nieuws thuiskomt en er nog geen knuffel van je partner vanaf kan. 😒

Europa wordt op allerlei manieren aangevallen door Rusland. Westerse landen aarzelen om te reageren op de sabotage, cyberaanvallen en terreur van het Kremlin.

Waarom reageren we niet?

Europe is under attack from Russia. Why isn’t it fighting back?
Western countries have shied away from reacting to Kremlin acts of sabotage and terror.
