And the only people who rise to the top of that are people who agree with Elon.

So I just remember one time I got invited to lunch when I was working at Al Gore's Current TV by a guy who wrote in the New York Times.

And he was telling me all his secrets.

We just kind of had a few beers.

And he was like, listen, when I read when not him personally, but when people write articles, there's this phenomenon called one to trend.

And basically, if you can find two things that say the same thing, that's not an article.

But if you get three things that say the same narrative, well, then you're good to go.

Go ahead and print it.

And Twitter is just always the fastest thing at helping you look what's happening now and then see what people are saying about it.

Hour 2: The Return Of Goat Piss Mike (feat. Brett Erlich)

And if you are the laziest, least common denominator type of journalist, well, you can just find those things super fast and throw them up there.

And that is the kind of like self-reinforcing dynamic of Twitter.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Return Of Goat Piss Mike (feat. Brett Erlich)

that helps not only get people who go to Twitter to see what's trending right now.

So something's at the top.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Return Of Goat Piss Mike (feat. Brett Erlich)

That's the narrative.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Return Of Goat Piss Mike (feat. Brett Erlich)

As soon as it happens.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Return Of Goat Piss Mike (feat. Brett Erlich)

I don't know anywhere else where that happens because like either you're live

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Return Of Goat Piss Mike (feat. Brett Erlich)

If you're live, you're like looking at Twitter to see and you're broadcasting just stuff on Twitter.

The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 2: The Return Of Goat Piss Mike (feat. Brett Erlich)

It was like the fastest place to find out what's happening and what people are saying about it.

Hour 2: The Return Of Goat Piss Mike (feat. Brett Erlich)

And if you can get in charge of that, you're not only controlling Twitter, but you're controlling all the reporting on the subject that's breaking now, let alone like the source video from people who are there.

Hour 2: The Return Of Goat Piss Mike (feat. Brett Erlich)

yeah i think you can you just have to and i know this is harder to do now like know the person personally and you have to like have small little micro interactions where you like totally ruin it for someone but like on a macro level the thing i've been saying for years is like we've never had so much access to so much information with so little idea as to what the hell is happening
