Elon Musk Drops Truth Bomb Under U.N. SecGen Speech About ‘Disinformation’, says they’re ‘More likely to Cause’ it ‘Rather than Prevent’

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres recently spoke before the New York General Assembly. Guterres spoke about many things, including calling for peace around the world.

Many may feel they have different methods of manifesting their versions of peace than others however. Some certainly feel that potentially corrupt and centralized sources of determining what mis or disinformation actually is, is very divisive and problematic in fact.

That’s because as humans we are all biased. That’s why Elon Musk’s Twitter now has community notes instead of hard and fast fact checkers.

To many, it seems like a better, more streamlined approach to directing people to more accurate information with a less heavy handed and authoritarian approach. Musk took issue with one thing said by Guterres recently. Disclose.tv posted a clip of which Musk responded to. The clip was captioned:

“NOW – UN Secretary-General: “We’ll call for action from everywhere with influence on the spread of ‘mis- and disinformation’ on the Internet.”

Musk replied simply and blatantly:

“The UN is more likely to cause, rather than prevent, disinformation”

The UN is more likely to cause, rather than prevent, disinformation

Guterres himself posted a different clip from his speech on Twitter:

“Near-term thinking is making the problems we face today more intractable, divisive & dangerous. My message to politicians and decisionmakers: Don’t focus solely on what may happen to you today – and dither. Look at what will happen to all of us tomorrow – and act.”

For most people in the world it is easy to determine who is out to harm and who is out to help. But humanity is complex. Many believe what they are doing is best for humanity, but many other who also believe that, have completely juxtaposed ideas for the same “goals”.

This goes back to our point about decentralization of information so that the masses can process for themselves what they think of it, rather than once person or group of people with the same or similar points of view controlling everything.

In our view, it’s a very large world and many many different groups and people should be in charge of information dissemination, not a small group of authorities, even if they believe they mean well.
