Grimes called out Twitter’s “issues with public mental health” just days after her on-and-off again boyfriend Elon Musk announced he’d reached a deal to purchase the social media platform for $44bn. Canadian singer Grimes speaks with MIT podcast host Lex Fridman on his show, Lex Fridman Podcast.
Speaking on MIT researcher Lex Fridman’s podcast on Friday, the Canadian-born singer said despite her misgivings about some of the “issues” with the platform, she does continue to use it prolifically and even admitted to creating “fake Twitter accounts” in the past in order to debate with people on topics that she feels she couldn’t engage with on her blue-check verified account. “I, like, go into different algorithmic bubbles to try and like, understand,” she told the computer scientist.
“I’ll keep getting in fights with people and realise we’re not actually fighting. ”The “issue” that she seemed to take up with the platform seemed to stem from concerns over misunderstandings on the site getting blown out of proportion, comparing it at one point to people using different linguistic dialects.
“There are now becoming different dialects of English, like I am realising … there are people who are saying the exact same things but they’re using completely different verbiage and we’re, like punishing each other for not using the correct verbiage,” she said. “I do think there are a lot of issues with Twitter in terms of the public mental health,” she continued while speaking with the artificial intelligence researcher, without going as far to outright slam the company her ex Musk had only just days earlier announced he’d be purchasing.
