Elon Musk v. The Truth | About Disinformation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 фев 2025
- On January 15, 2025, President Biden gave his farewell address to the nation, where he referred to President Eisenhower sounding the alarm on the military-industrial complex. In the speech, he said, “I’m equally concerned about the potential rise of a tech-industrial complex that could pose real dangers for our country as well.”
What Biden was speaking about was the rise online of billionaire-sponsored and promoted MISINFORMATION and DISINFORMATION.
Believe it or not, folks, there IS a difference between the two things, and in today’s video, I’ll be going over the differences between both… the ways to identify it… AND, ways you can fight against falling for it on your own terms.
And no, that last section isn’t just me shouting “DELETE TWITTER DELETE TWITTER” while slamming my head into my desk - though it might be in your best interest to understand that Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and many of their most ardent supporters within the Tech Industrial Complex are, spoiler alert, purveyors and spreaders of both misinformation AND disinformation.

Thanks for moving over so I can still hear you.
I love that you not only called out the mis- and disinformation, you gave us actionable steps for how we can be better consumers of what we see online.
This is why we trust and appreciate you, V. Thank you for being our voice of reason ❤.
Keep doing what you’re doing V, this world needs you!!
Thanks for touching on vaccines and quoting the AAP!! Signed a burnt out pediatrician
Love the long form content, compared to the other socials. Glad to have found you over here on YT.
I miss it already 😢 YT algorithm stinks... and discoverability is horrendous... and my online business is done... keep going, I'll be watching!
I felt the same until I found people who align closer to what I believe but then getting used to a long form content may have taken longer to be honest. I hope it gets better for you on here fellow tiktoker
This is why I followed as many tiktok creators as I could on RUclips. But you are right, it's not the same at all. I have to look them up on my subscriptions. There is no algo. I have stupid movies as suggested shorts. 😢
Took a screenshot of all the TT accounts I'm following earlier today, just deactivated all my meta accounts, and came to find you here first.
I’m not gonna lie, I like your presentations here on RUclips better than TikTok. I love your TikToks too, but you get the time to go in depth on a topic. I appreciate the effort you make to get the content together for this. I wouldn’t have found you here if TikTok hadn’t been banned. If TikTok comes back I’ll still watch both.
I think the thing I loved about TT was the algorithm and it leading you to people..Hopefully TT followers coming over will help people's platforms start large here.
This really confirms and is more broader than what i learned in my communication class and my Newswriting class. You should teach journalism!!!!
I found you, thank jeebus! I was shocked at 6 pm last night. I did not expect TikTok to turn off that early. I cried 😢
Thank you, V. I truly appreciate what you do.
We are so lucky to have you. Thank you for all the information. I believe you are trusted source. I believe in you. And congratulations
I’m loving your videos here! So helpful to understand things like this!
Appreciate your perspective on this. Thank you for telling us the difference between misinformation and disinformation. Congratulations on getting into Harvard and I’m so glad you’re here.
Just the fact that we have to have this conversation is ridiculous
This needs to go viral. Thank you for educating us. Until misinformation and disinformation are controlled we are doomed. The way we control it is by educating ourselves.
Fantastic topic that doesn’t get talked about enough. Thank you for covering this!
Thank you V keep the education coming. We love you and I am so grateful I can follow you here on YT 🙏
I'm just glad to see some recognition for honest folks who like to hang out at home without pants on. 💜
Coming over from TikTok to follow you here now. ❤ Keep up the great work!

This is a tough morning for so many reasons, and I am thankful youre here
Really good info! Sadly, we will have to be way, WAY more diligent about the information that we consume than at anytime in the past.
Yo. The national Churchill museum is in Fulton, Missouri, not Montana. Churchill delivered his iron curtain speech there. We Missourians are quite proud of our place in history. 😊
I love seeing longer form content of yours but I already miss the comment section and "live" feeling of the tiktok community and it isn't even down yet ❤ thanks for continuing to share as always
It’s just been turned off for me
I wasn't even on tiktok but watched you on Instagram and I'm so excited to see you come here for long form content! You're doing great!
I’m so glad I found you on here!! You are one of my favorite sources of news and I appreciate what you do so much. 💙💙💜💙💙💜
This was excellent, V. Thanks for that. Goodies need to do more of this type of thing; explaining situations rationally and thoroughly without talking down to folks. Well played!
Thank you for showing up on RUclips. Subscribed. I’m not going back to TikTok. Deleted.
SIFT sounds a lot like what my mom told me growing up. I'm in a small town in The South of the US and the rumor mill never sleeps. She would tell me "Find out for yourself." Ask around for everyone's perspective. Double check with a teacher (for stuff like "pop quiz tomorrow" that would have me stressed out). Ask around and use critical thinking for every step.
The irony here is that she is awaiting her official tin foil hat to be delivered, though she was front-lines during COVID in a big city and is severely traumatized from the experience, so I give her a pass on most things (unless her conspiracy theories might actually lead to someone being hurt).
Great explanation! Thank you for all that you inform us of. Happy to follow you over here to RUclips!
Glad to still have you now that TT went dark
V, you are a wonder. Thank you!
Awesome to see this lfc from your capable mind. Happy to be here fighting mis- and disinformation online.
You are the best. I’m so happy I found you on TikTok ❤❤
I love this long video format from you! You're very engaging to watch and listen to and you're value in truth is 12/10
V, I love this longer format for your videos. I'll still watch the short Under the Desk episodes, but I'm thrilled to watch this longer format too.
Thank you for that video V! I'm glad I found you here on RUclips because I'm hesitant to return to TikTok even though it has returned. Would love to know what you've learned about that. I've tried researching online and there's so much information, I just don't know what to believe. I love fact-checking, but it's becoming more and more difficult to find consistently reliable sources! What are your thoughts on Snopes? Thanks again, really love what you do!
Love what you do, V!!! thanks for this lesson and the way you present the facts. 💙
It's official tiktok is off I'm so glad your here..Ready for the news....
Thank you for coming to this platform, I appreciate the new longer content
So glad to still see you!! Keep going! 💙
So true. That’s what I find so shocking these days. It can be so easy to search out additional information yet people don’t..
Shared! Glad to see you here and I’ll miss you over there
❤
Great information! So glad to follow you here as well.
You’re one of the only people I trust with the news.
Followed from TT. Here to support you on YT. Thanks for what you are doing ❤❤
Thank you V!! Informative as always🤩
Thank you V for the time, energy, and effort you put into your content! It feels really scary and hard to stay engaged in things right now, but I’m doing my best and you make it easier. I appreciate all you do for the community 💜
What a great video. I’m so proud you are from Rochester! Go Bills!!
LOVE your videos. Thank you for experimenting with formats and editing styles. ❤
Thankful for you! ❤
Great to see you here!! So thankful for the updates and education!
Love ya V! You’re a great teacher ♥️
V, Thank you for this in depth info. Much appreciated
I've been following you on TT for a long time, and now I've added you to my RUclips news list. I love your content and am very thankful for your actual research and legitimate effort to spread the truth, even when it's not shiny. Thank you, from an older Gen-X guy that watches all your content! ❤❤
Great content. I hope this reaches people who have been in the crowd of disinformation and or misinformation.
A short of the SIFT method would be great for spreading the method around!
Great video, V!! Love your dedication, drive, and intellect!
Thank you V for doing this video. I sure hope the right people see it and use it. ❤❤
Excellent Info. Everyone needs to take this class. Question everything.
Thank you 🙏
Love you! Happy to follow where ever you may go!
Love you V so glad you’re here
Finally, I subscribe to you months ago and I've just now been served up your content...
So so happy to see you here. ❤
Thank you for educating us. I cant wait to learn more!😊
What's that I see...over 100,000! 🎉🎉🎉
Literally a day late (me not you), but I’m here 🎉 and I’m thankful you are too!
Very well said. Great information! Thanks. 😊
I love the new format, keep up the good work! ❤️
Good morning!!!! Nice to see you!
Love the professional studio mic with the Rode Lapel clipped onto it. 🤣 The epitome of class. 😍
You are the best…thank you
I'm so happy to see you on another platform
I SO appreciate you but…a suggestion? Ditch the music. You don’t need it, it’s distracting. You are brilliant and I have shared you with many of my friends and family. You are enough. Your delivery is spot on and important without any distraction. Thanks for what you do. We need it more than ever.
Thanks for all you do!
Excellent! Thank you 🙏🏻
So glad you’re here!
Thank you V ✌️😁
Nice to see you over here on RUclips!
I am so grateful for you!
Just subscribed! So thankful you’re here ❤ you’re one of the few sources I can trust
Well, this is my new routine now. Happy I get it to see you somewhere.
Excellent! Thank you.
Thank you ❤
TY V
So happy I found you here. I am unhappy about the shenanigans on tiktok.
Thank you! This is a great video worthy of many if my research classes!
I grew up Christian, and finding out that Francis of Assisi didn't say "Preach the gospel every day; if necessary, use words" was shocking. It works, though, to shut the love that is Christian hate.
Actively trying to get better at researching so thank you this helps a lot ❤
Thanks!
GO BILLS... MY LIONS LOST SO I'M CHEERING FOR THE BILLS TO WIN IT ALL🎉
Glad I could find you! I loved your stuff on TikTok
The light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train.😤
Glad you are here! I found you on IG, but that might have to go...
This was fantastic. Thank you!
I love these videos, V keep it up!
I’m so glad I found you!!
Oh thank goodness! I hadn't realized you were on RUclips before. Glad I can still get some news even if tiktok goes dark
