Twitter is a more open platform and can in fact be the source of truth.
Indeed, that's the beauty of it, of course with such an open platform there are plenty of fringe lunatics too but just look at things like covid - we had stuff like "masks don't work" and the mainstream media initially enforced that narrative whereas if you followed relevant experts on Twitter it should have been clear that masks did in fact work.
(In fact, it should have been common sense in general; lack of evidence != evidence of absence and also masks don't have some magical properties that render them useless outside of hospitals).
Just watching the BBC or CNN etc.. and using them as your source of truth is just setting yourself up for mostly mid-wit takes re: the accepted government positions on things.
Stopping flights was "racist" early on then suddenly a good idea.
Locking down was going to occur but not "too soon" it needed to be timed right (which meant delaying it) because of some input from behavioral scientists or some other nonsense... in reality total BS, they could and should have locked down early but if you're just nodding along to CNN and the BBC then that was the seemingly "sensible" position from "the science".
IIRC one poster on here was surprised that I'd bought a big sack of rice and other supplies pre-lockdown (and indeed had locked down well ahead of the official one)... why would dowie want such a big sack of rice if we just need two weeks to flatten the curve.... again Twitter provided clarity for those who could be bothered to look in the obvious places for good info while someone just consuming some filtered media got sudden changes in policy and confusion. I avoided covid until 2022 and only caught it after I'd been vaccinated and had made the choice to take more risks, plenty of people following the BBC and just robotically waiting for government advice will have gotten infected and indeed infected family members and without vaccines that was quite risky!
Anyway... it's amusing how we've gone from supposedly Twitter only having a couple of weeks left before permanently crashing last year to now people getting excited over a few bugs/glitches that subsequently get fixed within hours.
I am merely pointing out what a massive douche your hero is. When someone sets themselves up as the saviour they fully deserve to be mocked. There isn't truth and Elon's truth. Its like Trump's "alternative facts" at this point.
