There were many years when I was very sad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was hell at school and hell at home,\u201d Musk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/elon-musk-interview-axel-springer-tesla-accelerate-advent-of-sustainable-energy\">said<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s important to know that South Africa is a very, very violent place. Violence is normal. And it\u2019s not unusual, so I\u2019m not talking about just words. I was almost beaten to death at one point. So, it was a close call. I was in hospital for a while. So anyway, this is not a rare story, frankly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Later in the interview, Musk, who has sold most of his possessions, including his homes, said that it was important for people to \u201cfeel life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sensory experience of life, you can\u2019t get too caught up in the cold calculus of the cortex,\u201d Musk said. \u201cYou need to feel it in the limbic system, ask yourself, what does your heart say? And then take a moment to appreciate the many good things in life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether he had a hard time being alone, Musk responded, \u201cVery few people like being alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHumans are naturally a very social creature,\u201d Musk continued. \u201cAnd maybe what is defined as alone is not necessarily alone. I mean, if you\u2019re really alone and maybe just have books, not even communication, I think that\u2019s what drives most people crazy. I mean, there\u2019s a reason why in prison, solitary confinement is considered a big punishment. You want to have friends and family and someone \u2014 you ideally want to be surrounded by people you love and who love you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk recently made news when he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/elon-musk-reveals-what-type-of-social-media-platform-he-is-giving-serious-thought-to-creating\">announced<\/a> last week that he was \u201cgiving serious thought\u201d to launching a new social media platform to take on Twitter in response to Twitter clamping down on free speech.<\/p>\n<p>Musk\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/doesnt-sound-very-balanced-elon-musk-hints-he-may-launch-new-platform-to-take-on-twitter\">conducted<\/a>\u00a0an informal poll late last week on Twitter, which stated: \u201cFree speech is essential to a functioning democracy. Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than 2 million people responded to the poll with 70.4% saying that Twitter did not adhere to the principle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe consequences of this poll will be important,\u201d Musk continued. \u201cPlease vote carefully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk followed up on the poll on Saturday, writing: \u201cGiven that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy. What should be done?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs a new platform needed?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuy twitter,\u201d political commentator Mike Cernovich responded. \u201cIf you\u2019re a leftist making death threats against conservatives. or organizing riots, Twitter respects your freedom of speech. Twitter also respects the freedom of speech for media hoaxes like when every major outlet framed an innocent Covington high school kid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk responded, \u201cDoesn\u2019t sound very balanced.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Musk conducted another informal poll on Twitter on Thursday in which he asked if \u201cTwitter[\u2019s] algorithm should be open source.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More than 1.1 million people responded to that poll with 82.7% saying, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m worried about de facto bias in \u2018the Twitter algorithm\u2019 having a major effect on public discourse,\u201d Musk continued. \u201cHow do we know what\u2019s really happening?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
