Elon Musk: X Aggregates the Collective Wisdom in Real Time—Better Than Legacy Media

Elon Musk: X is a real-time aggregator of the collective wisdom.

“The new model of news is really going to gather information from people who are at the scene, who are experts in the field, summarize the experts in the field and people who are at whatever event is being talked about, and aggregate that into a real-time news feed.

For the most part, that will be better than conventional journalism.

You've got real-time aggregation of the collective wisdom of tens of millions of people.

Although something may be said that is incorrect, it is very quickly corrected.

Whereas a newspaper that is publishing, what happened yesterday, when you read the article, that article could be wrong, often is wrong, but there's no rebuttal to the article.”
