He does things for sport that have serious consequences for real people. This is an open, global service. US politics is not much of Twitter. (K-pop might be bigger.)

Honestly if the thing just died in a fire so be it. Sites die. But he\u2019s acting with such a reckless and incurious disregard to the consequences of his actions. Because he\u2019s never had to deal with any.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hmm. Seems like Goldman either has a bit of jealousy toward Musk or knows something the rest of us don\u2019t. But, his words are pretty much par for the course when it comes to tech bros talking about Musk these days. What Stone had to say next is the real eyebrow-raiser.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s heartbreaking. All the world events we didn\u2019t make public to protect brave people. Also, on the Trump poll, \u201cThe people have spoken!\u201d How many Russians voted? It\u2019s global.

While there\u2019s always the possibility that Stone is trolling, and his fixation on the poll Musk conducted to supposedly determine whether or not he would allow Donald Trump back on the platform is a little odd in the context of the Twitter Files, his comments could also be a bit of a confession. They absolutely raise some questions. As venture capitalist <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DavidSacks\/status\/1599254151883419649\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Sacks asked<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cAll the world events you didn\u2019t make public\u201d \u2014> what are you referring to?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In addition, what does he mean by, \u201cThat\u2019s not what we made it for\u201d? It\u2019s a microblogging site. Goldman\u2019s LinkedIn says of the site:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I started using Twitter in May 2006 during a trip to Las Vegas with Evan Williams and, despite the fact that I was still at Google, I knew it was the next thing I wanted to work on. In Twitter, I saw an even purer strain of the idea that fascinated me about Blogger: making better humans by getting them to share their observations of the world around them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Stone\u2019s says:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Co-invented and built a real-time information network used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It sounds like that poll goes to exactly what the platform was created for, unless there\u2019s a lot more to the story. Undoubtedly, there\u2019s more to the story.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\nTrending on Redstate Video\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twitter co-founder Biz Stone\u00a0has been openly critical of Elon Musk\u2019s actions since Musk acquired the platform, and engaged in a little whining on Friday during Matt Taibbi\u2019s \u201cTwitter Files\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1762802,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1762799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1762799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1762799"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1762799\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1762802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1762799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1762799"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1762799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
