Elon Musk Seeks Support Against Rules on Free Speech Online

Wired  

When Elon Musk arrived at VivaTech, a leading technology conference in France, his presence had an immediate effect, as event founder Maurice Levy of Publicis Groupe was quick to point out. “Hopefully later this year, we’ll do our first human device implantation on someone who has quadriplegia and potentially restore full body function,” Musk said. The San Francisco-based company shares a building with OpenAI, a venture Musk also cofounded that has made headlines for its generative artificial intelligence algorithm, ChatGPT. Freedom of Speech During the VivaTech panel, Musk also discussed Twitter, another hot topic for the entrepreneur who has founded or led PayPal, Tesla, and Space X, among other companies. I think if you go down the censorship route, it’s only a matter of time before censorship is turned upon you.” Twitter, he adds, “was having a corrosive effect on civil society, but I think today most people would say their experience has improved.” Before his trip to France, Musk stopped in Italy, a visit that appears to have helped consolidate the sympathies of right-wing supporters in his battle against the Digital Services Act.
