Go to your corners, may the best man win..
« on: May 17, 2024, 06:39:29 AM »
Just had this email from the Guardian.  I have donated occasionally, so I get emails:

Quote
Dear supporter,

On Tuesday, Elon Musk, owner of X/Twitter, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and one of the richest men on the planet, posted the following message about the Guardian.
The Guardian


The Guardian is sceptical of plutocrats and entrenched power. From Musk to the Murdochs, a small number of wealthy people have a powerful hold on much of the world’s information – and what they spread can often be distorting and destructive.

We are different: with no super-rich owner, the Guardian is free to seek the truth and share important stories that people ought to know – and free to care less what Musk or any billionaire thinks of us.
... Make sure you live before you die.

I have donated once or maybe twice. This makes me want to rush over and donate again.

This may be the best thing that has happened for the Guardian in a long time which is why, I am sure, they are trying to spread the news far and wide.

Do we know why he is attacking the Guardian?
