Elon Musk can claim that he’s not antisemitic, or he’s not racist or whatever. And he can also claim that Twitter isn’t a cesspool of hate., But what’s becoming clear is less and less people believe him. And the latest example of that is the news that The White House has set up accounts for the President and the VP among other people on Twitter competitor Threads:
The White House on Monday joined the social media platform Threads, the Meta rival to Elon Musk’s X social media platform.
The move, which the White House says was in the process for several weeks, comes just days after the White House and others criticized Musk for the amplification and endorsement of an anti-Semitic post.
Major media companies, including Comcast, The Walt Disney Co. and Warner Bros. Discovery, announced that they were pausing ads on X, formerly known as Twitter.
And:
The White House launched its own official account, as well as accounts for the president, First Lady, vice president, and second gentleman. Additionally, a spokesperson for President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign told CNN that the president, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris, would launch personal accounts on Threads as well.
A White House spokeswoman, Robyn Patterson, said the reason for the move is because “we are committed to meeting people where they are.”
Elon has got to be freaking right now. If the leader of the free world has joined Threads, that instantly gives the platform a whole lot of credibility that it didn’t have before this move by The White House. And yes, I know Threads is owned by the same guy that owns Facebook and Instagram which both make you the product. But that’s irrelevant at the moment because a lot of people will join Threads simply because President Joe Biden is there.
I’m calling it now, there’s going to be another wave of people leaving Twitter. If it hasn’t started already. And you have to wonder how badly Elon will react to that.
