Is the team of Democratic Party candidate Kamala Harris plotting to undermine the social media platform 'X' (formerly known as Twitter)? Allegations suggest that may be the case.
According to reports, Morgan McSweeney, a notable political operative in Kamala Harris' team, plays a significant role in this situation. McSweeney heads the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), which has established connections with the UK’s Labour Party and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. Recently, documents pertaining to the CCDH were disclosed by an organization named The Disinformation Chronicle. These documents, dated 2024, outline strategies aimed at undermining X, particularly under Elon Musk's ownership.
The document is provocatively titled "Kill Musk's Twitter" and includes alarming tactics such as inflicting financial harm on X and discouraging advertisers. In response to these developments, Elon Musk stated that such actions violate U.S. criminal laws and interfere with the electoral process. He also mentioned that the CCDH would take action against its financial backers. Musk, a supporter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump following his indictment, has publicly addressed Trump in a program.
Concerns over extreme work hours.
Reports indicate a rising number of employee suicides attributed to excessive work pressure and long hours. Elon Musk is a proponent of the belief that working 100 hours a week can lead to significant success. He stated, "If you work 100 hours a week, you'll earn twice as much as someone who works 50 hours." He recounted how he and his brother would often code at night.
These sentiments echo comments made by Infosys CEO Narayana Murthy, who previously sparked debate by suggesting that young professionals should aim to work 70 hours a week. Murthy argued that without adjusting work hours to match global standards, India would struggle to compete with developed nations. He urged the youth, saying, "This is my country. I am ready to work 70 hours a week for my nation, and I hope young people will join me." His remarks have garnered a variety of responses.
