Cybernormer #13: Verdens største taber

Tesla milliardæren Elon Musk, overtog under stor medieopmærksomhed det sociale medie Twitter i oktober 2022, og lovede at han ville fikse det “digitale bytorv”. Det udgav vi en episode af Cybernormer om i november, men siden er der løbet meget vand igennem åen, og mange Musk tweets gennem feedet. Musk har blandt andet opnået den tvivlsomme verdensrekord i største tab af personlig formue på kortest tid. Men måske er det ligemeget, når man er en mand med en langsigtet mission?
I dette afsnit har vi igen besøg af Cybernaut og programmør Nynne Just Christoffersen, der sammen med vært Maia Kahlke Lorentzen tager temperaturen på det temmelig overophede sociale medier og gør status på hvordan det egentlig går for verdens nu måske kun næstrigeste mand med at redde ytringsfriheden.
