Elon Musk stated that X, formerly Twitter, is a collective consciousness in his talk with Catie Wood conducted on the platform.
He said that he considers X a group mind, and further remarked that when it comes to social media "you want as much signal and as little noise as possible," referring to the fact that the platform enables users to communicate directly, without the need for buffers such as journalists and traditional media. "You want your information to come from world-class experts without journalists filtering the info," Musk stressed.
He added that editors in traditional media regularly bypass and dilute subjects they don't find interesting "without the appropriate knowledge of these topics."
