   Elon Musk is now directly intervening in the German elections and promoting the far-right and Climate Change denying Party AfD.
   If you are still using Twitter you give these posts relevance. The best effect of climate reporting you can achieve is to leave Twitter.

   This is what I wrote to our group of 360 international climate journalists on Signal. So far, the discussion always ended arguing of many they have a great reach there and using Xitter is for the good.

     @Ruhrnalist Try this:

     X is a mixer. Owned by Elon Musk. Your microphone is connected to his mixer. He decides who gets to hear you, what volume they hear you at, or if you won’t be heard at all.

     Or, to quote Audre Lorde: The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.

     So surely this is illegal and someone somewhere needs to grow some and stop this, he has given 100 million to Farage for Reform in the hope we will get a far right government at the next election or as a result of by-elections.

     This has to stop

     @Ruhrnalist I hate Musk with such a burning passion. He's a complete idiot. Very, very typical rich soulless bastard.

     @Ruhrnalist Having said that, judging people for using Twitter isn't it. Are people using Bluesky responsible for the death threats and conspiracy theories going around on that platform? Are people using the Fediverse responsible for all the horrible stuff on here, which is even worse since everyone can create their own server and host truly horrible stuff?
