All my life I’ve tried to use music to bring people together. Yet it saddens me to see how misinformation is now being used to divide our world.

I’ve decided to no longer use Twitter, given their recent change in policy which will allow misinformation to flourish unchecked.

Twitter owner Elon Musk was among those who replied to the musician.

“I love your music. Hope you come back,” wrote Musk. “Is there any misinformation in particular that you’re concerned about?”

1. Elton and Elon

I think these two might be able to work things out. The current dearth of large blogs where folks can speak their mind is sad and frightening. I hope Elon can get Twitter wide open. Open discussion and the ability to see each other's opinions is vital to a modern society.

3. putting up a lot of disinformation is not an opinion

it's a bunch of bullshit that fuels conspiracy fires and leads half-wits to assume it is true

you hope eloon "can get twitter wide open"???

that's the problem with twitter--now trump & MTG can spew out their bubbling stews of bullshit again. twitter is wide open & there have never been as many crazies, and racists, and anti vaxers on it as there is now.

2. "any misinformation in particular"

Good grief! Like some isn’t as bad as the rest.

What an asinine and disingenuous comment, Eloon.

11. Just like tRump barging into the Miss Teen USA locker room and saying....

“Is everyone OK… anything I can do to help?”

Puh-leeeeaze….

5. Thanks Elton

6. Twitter is Gab

Twitter’s reputation is in the toilet. Don’t know if it’s going to be saved or not.

7. Saint Eloon the Clueless pretending that nothing is wrong when he's being told to his face about it.

He knows exactly what the problems are and intends to amplify them as much as he possibly can.

8. Gross and disgusting full of bots and Russian propaganda.

A playground for Nazis and similar.

9. What a clueless, clueless, clod Musk is... Probably intentionally so.

I hope Elton ignores him. That will hurt more than anything for this a'hole narcissist.

[harumph]

10. Musk, "deliberately obtuse" be thy name.

[gratuitous]

12. Lone Skum knows exactly what Sir Elton is talking about

He has to feign ignorance, and it's not going to play with anyone with an ounce of sense. So it won't hurt Skum's standing with his fanboiz.
