Chris Hayes: Elon Musk Is Thumbs Upping Just About Every Racist Right Wing Meme

EXCERPT:

HAYES: “Billionaire Elon Musk bought Twitter back in October. It's a microblogging site. I like it a lot. But like, let's just -- OK. He bought it for a whopping $44 billion. It's a private company now. So we don't know what its business internals look like, but by all accounts, advertisers absolutely fled. His new subscriber service doesn't look like it's doing very well. People think the company's worth way less than what he bought it for. So he desperately needs someone new to bring in revenue. And it is against that backdrop that Musk is preparing to usher in a new CEO. Her name is Linda Yaccarino. She's a veteran of the advertising business. Until a few days ago, she was actually the advertising chief at NBC. So he's going to have a workout for her. This is what the current state of Twitter is right now. As Ben Collins reported, if you search for cats or dogs on Twitter a few days ago, you got animal torture videos, because apparently Twitter had screwed up the code that would have stopped that stuff from surfacing, and instead they were surfacing it. And then there's the guy who runs a website who really likes to tweet. One of the richest men in the world is basically like thumbs upping and responding to just about every offensive racist right wing meme he sees on the website.”
