Elon Musk has created a corporate culture that harshly punishes people who might say, “actually, boss, maybe that’s not such a great idea”- and now he’s reaping the consequences. — PolitiTweet.org

(Footnote to history: among the people McDonald defeated in her first race for her seat in Canada's Parliament was my late father-in-law, Peter Worthington. Bygones are bygones, however!) — PolitiTweet.org

I should add that Lynn McDonald, author of this expose of politics masquerading as history, is no conservative. Author of books and articles on Nightingale, she's a past president of Canada's National Action Committee on the Status of Women and a former NDP Member of Parliament — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

Here's an interesting sidelight to the way history is being done now: For decades, we remembered Florence Nightingale as the founder of modern nursing. Now she is being credited with a co-founder, whose contributions are almost entirely fictitious. https://t.co/04uXrEvJ1s — PolitiTweet.org

2014 was a Republican Senate landslide, in great part because of Ebola panic. Ebola was contained. The senators elected in 2014 then built the majority that overturned Roe v. Wade.

@TheAtlantic Anyway, before https://t.co/lyFoRkAc0s turns into a playground for impersonators, some things from my Twitter hiatus ... Ebola panic powered a GOP Senate sweep in 2014 - and led to the overturning of Roe v Wade in 2022. Moral: think ahead when you vote. https://t.co/JDatYWWW1A — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

Musk & Co aren't proposing to charge people to *read* their content, the way eg @TheAtlantic does. They fear that people wouldn't pay for Twitter content. So their plan instead is to charge potential victims of fraud by their company to pay their company to prevent the fraud. — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

The deal Twitter is offering to me is "Pay $8 a month or we'll allow people to impersonate you." The deal they're offering everybody else is: "For $8 a month, we'll let anybody impersonate anybody." Who'd use a service like that? — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

Is the plan really to allow "anyone" to create an @NationalHurricaneCnter or @NtionalHurricaneCenter account and then pay to verify it? Who would ever use Twitter as a news source if that can happen? — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

Pretty obviously, the Musk team has not devoted even 5 minutes thought to protecting the integrity of their own franchise from crooks and fraudsters https://t.co/Szjjpw5858 — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine there's a hurricane on the way. You want accurate news - not panicky rumors. Whom to trust? Maybe @NHC_Atlantic ? Or @Fema? What happens when some sicko creates a parody account, buys a blue check mark, and tells lies? — PolitiTweet.org
