#Democrats flip #SocialMedia *#censorship* complaints on #Musk, #GOP  #ElonMusk’s #X is facing #impartiality questions after he endorsed #Trump & the *platform* restricted pro-#Harris account. #Republicans have spent the better part of a decade accusing #SocialMedia companies of “censoring” *#conservative* viewpoints & skewing their platforms to benefit Democrats.  #VoteBlue https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/13/democrats-flip-social-media-censorship-complaints-musk-gop/

After the interview [finally] got underway, users were quick to point out that #Trump didn’t sound as sharp as usual [VERY low bar]. “Not a joke here: Trump is really badly slurring his words. This is quite disturbing,” wrote columnist Rex Huppke. “Something is wrong w/him.” “Trump is slurring in a way I've never heard from him before,” remarked podcaster Susan Simpson. “Elon sounds like this is maybe the 3rd or 4th time he's had a conversation w/a fellow human.” #unfit #weird #HarrisWalz2024
