A new era of lies: Mark Zuckerberg has just ushered in an extinction-level event for truth on social media

Not really. It has been there for many years, Musk got in first anyway.Let us face it, social media (whisper it Mastodon included) are only or should be only, a means of allowing people to talk, exchange (in my experience) dug and mountain photos with the odd joke. The mistake was in treatubg them as 'news'.

No, Zuckerberg definitely got in there first, long before Space Karen had his eye on Xitter. FaceAche is the OG disinformation channel.

I think Musk went in with second mover advantage. He bought Xitter to use it and not to make money directly from it. In that sense he was a first mover - direct polics rather than just cash.

I don't think there was anything like as much strategic thought behind it - just a rich man baby having a tantrum until he got what he wanted. Zuckerberg's been behind-the-scenesing for a long time now. Unlike Space Karen, he's actually intelligent as well as being a moral vacuum with a stunted personality.

I suspect you are right there. Musk a 'pup' and then decided to use it to his advantage (which he has done). Zuckeberg has realised he is behind the times.

I don't even think that he's behind the times - he's just doing it in public now, rather than behind the scenes. And he's added some zeros to the cheque.
