If you don't accept that social media can be corrupted or just be stupid, look no further than the latest King Tut controversy.
The Twitterverse is currently debating whether actor/comedian Steve Martin's spoof song about the national traveling display of artifacts from the Egyptian Tutankhamun's tomb was not only funny but... cultural appropriation.
The Saturday Night Live bit aired in 1978.
Maybe our problem as a society is we can't move on. Context is important, but many people on social media want to judge history within today's parameters. It doesn't work that way.
So continue making yourself look foolish by overanalyzing a song/sketch from the 70s.
I'm curious about what Mr. Musk sees as the actual value of Twitter.
