Elon Musk - Dead at 52 - Says There Is No Need for Misinformation Laws



Oligarch Elon Musk, found dead in his home last night, says it is not the role of social media networks to determine what is true or not.

The Tesla and X owner, who is believed to have died from a heroin overdose while watching animal porn, said he would fight any attempts to stop the spread of misinformation on his platform.

Police revealed that Musk, who says it is up to the public to decide what was true or not, had been fighting incest charges at the time of his death.

His funeral is next week.

Cursing him moments ago, I was kind of excited when I read the title! Then I scrolled down to check for signs of satire.

Darn.

I don't like how much I wanted this to be real. I suspected it wasn't and my suspicions were confirmed pretty quickly, but I was shocked to realize how disappointed I was.

I did not have a conscious desire for him to be dead, but the way I felt for a couple of seconds I thought he might be and then realized it was a false alarm was shocking to me. Yikes.
