Elon Musk

2024 - 8 - 13

Kun Musk tapasi Trumpin – tech-gate, käynnistymisvaikeudet ja vähän kummallista huumoria!

DDoS-hyökkäykset - Donald Trump - Elon Musk - Kamala Harris - politiikka - sosiaalinen media - UAW (United Auto Workers) - X (Twitter)

Miten Elon Musk ja Donald Trump selvittivät X-yhteyden kiperiä tilanteita? Tässä paljastuksia illan hulvattomasta keskustelusta!

Elon Musk isännöi hiljattain Donald Trumpin kanssa keskustelua, joka jäi historiaan enemmän kuin vain poliittisena keskusteluna. Tämä kaksi tuntia kestänyt tilaisuus, joka tapahtui Muskin omalla sosiaalisen median alustalla X:ssä – entisessä Twitterissä – tuli täynnä tekniikan ongelmia, ja Musk itse syytti tapahtumaa massiiviseksi kyberhyökkäykseksi. Vaikka monet odottivat jännittävää keskustelua, tekniset moksahdukset tekivät siitä pikemminkin hölmöilysirkuksen, kuin karismaattisen poliittisen keskustelun.

Trumpin keskustelussa painopiste ei ollut vain hänen presidenttikauden aikana koetussa uhassa, vaan myös osittain Kamala Harrisin kritisoimisessa. Trump kutsui Harrisia 'radikaaliksi vasemmistolaishulluudeksi' ja, noh, siinä meni osittain myös keskustelun sävy. Yleisö oli ilmeisesti ällistynyt, mutta yhden Trumpin toteamuksen myötä keskustelu ei ollut täysin ennakoitavaa, sillä hän yritti puolustaa sekä aikaisempia lausuntojaan että nykypäivän kampanjapolitiikkaansa tekniikan takkuillessa koko ajan taustalla.

Vaikka keskustelu oli kaikkea muuta kuin sujuvaa, se toi kuitenkin esille muutamia mielenkiintoisia asioita. Trump kertoi jopa henkilökohtaisesta salamurhayrityksestään – ei ehkä paras tapainen vetää huomiota pois Harrisin kritiikistä! Joka tapauksessa, Jos elitte hetken epäselvyyksissä, niin Musk myönsi keskustelu parin minuutin viivästyksille johtuen, mutta ei halunnut unohtaa kaikkia omia virheitään, joita hänen tiiminsä teki – lisää huvittavaa sisältöä mitä liekia muualle internetiin!

Ja tässä tulee mielenkiintoinen fakta: Elon Muskin vaatimuksesta EU varoitti häntä disinformaation levittämisestä juuri ennen keskustelua. Näin ollen ei ole yllättävää, että keskustelun varjolla tapahtui hyvin järjestelty myrsky siitä, miten sosiaalisen median käytön ja poliittisen keskustelun yhdistäminen voi olla enemmän kuin vain pinnallista viestintää. Viime kädessä, tämä saattaa tuoda entistä suuremman tarpeen faktatarkistukselle sekä keskustelujen avoimuudelle sosiaalisessa mediassa – ehkä jopa Musk ja Trumpin vaatia enemmän totuutta jatkossa?

Joko olet miettinyt, miten sosiaalinen media muokkaa poliittisia keskusteluja? Tämä keskustelu nosti esille paljon kysymyksiä, kuten kuka todella hallitsee narratiivia ja voiko kyberhyökkäys muuttaa ihmisten mielipiteitä? Vastaus ei ehkä ole niin yksinkertainen. Tämä tilaisuus osoitti, että vaikka teknologia tuo poliittisen maailman lähemmäksi, se ei takaa sujuvuutta eikä tarkkuutta, ja voimme vain toivoa, että tulevat keskustelut olisivat vähemmän kaaottisia!
