If there is one thing that the Twitter (and Facebook) ban of US President Donald Trump has reminded everyone around the world this weekend, then it is the incredible power that social media platforms have. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and others now yield the same (or even greater) influence that the New York Times, […]
Memelord and richest man in the world Elon Musk tweeted out a funny take on the storming of the capitol building earlier this week when he reminded everyone that a man in a Viking hat had taken over the US government because Burning Man (a popular festival that takes place in the desert) had been cancelled.
