Elon Musk has upped his financial offer for registered swing state voters to sign a conservative-leaning petition, announcing Saturday that his pro-Trump super PAC would be awarding $1 million to a random signee every day from now until the election. Election law analyst Richard Hasen joins Morning Joe to discuss why it is potentially illegal.
Just when you thought he couldn’t make it any worse, Elon Musk has delivered. The owner of X has already run the social media platform that he bought into the ground financially, but he’s still hard at work in the lab hatching up new ways to make it even more unpleasant. His latest innovation: changing the block feature in a way that makes users more vulnerable to harassment and abuse — and generally makes the platform a worse user experience.
Who was asking for this? How is user experience improved by this? It’s unclear what Musk’s motivation was except for perhaps a gradual effort to undo blocking altogether, considering he has said he thinks blocking “makes no sense.” Moreover, blocking is not only a feature for mitigating harassment, but also helps users customize their feeds so they can avoid spammy or undesirable content. The new block feature weakens user tools for avoiding soul-deadening promotion from influencers and bots.
