Elon Musk Surprises Us With a New Location
Back in January, Elon Musk and X teased us with what they called the “Trust and Safety center of excellence.” Now, it looks like they are making do on their promise.
After months of radio silence, they’ve posted job listings for the new Trust and Safety facility. This center is set to ramp up human moderation, aiming to crack down on child sexual exploitation material and other rule-breaking content.
Now, this is interesting because moderation has always been a bit of a hot topic for Musk. Short story: he sees it as censorship and prefers a hands-off approach. But even Elon can’t deny that X needs more moderation to keep users safe and attract ad partners.
There’s also a rumor that this could be part of a bigger move. Musk isn’t too happy with San Francisco’s local government, and he's made it clear he wants to move X to Texas. Opening this new facility there could just be the beginning.
What do you think about Musk's newest moderation strategy? Let us know and continue this conversation on X.
See you next Wednesday,
