Elon Musk, the leader of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter, is not a traditionalist. Two years on, he’s opened Pride Month with a different tactic: Making very loud, very public anti-LGBT statements. But while last year’s effort at least sound Outwardly friendly, this year Musk has raised the bar: Amplify a documentary that even Twitter’s own content moderator has been flagged as hate speech.
