Ex-Labor secretary Robert Reich claims Elon Musk 'out of control,' says regulators should 'threaten arrest'
2024-09-02
[FoxNews] Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, who served during Bill Clinton
...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of the word is...
's presidency, wrote in a column published Friday that Elon Musk was "out of control," and argued he needed to be reined in.
If you don't control him, he's out of control by definition.
"He may be the richest man in the world. He may own one of the world's most influential social media platforms. But that doesn't mean we're powerless to stop him," Reich wrote, including a list of six things people could do to rein in Musk.
Under our Constitutional system, being out of government control is exactly the point of the Constitution.
After Musk purchased Twitter in 2022, now known as X, Reich deemed the purchase "dangerous nonsense." He argued Musk's purchase was "just about power," rather than free speech.
By its very existence, government is solely about power. Musk acquiring Twitter is about Free Speech in the face of overwhelming government power.
Reich called on people to boycott Tesla and X and added, "Regulators around the world should threaten Musk with arrest if he doesn't stop disseminating lies and hate on X."
