ALT Die Grafik zeigt ein Zitat über Elon Musk vor dem Hintergrund einer amerikanischen Flagge. In der Mitte des Bildes steht: „Er identifiziert sich mit Macht – mit uneingeschränkter Macht“, gefolgt von „ZEIT ONLINE“. Darunter wird Jeanette Hofmann zitiert, die im Podcast Das Politikteil über Elon Musk spricht. Es wird gefragt, welche Auswirkungen das Handeln des Tech-Milliardärs auf Demokratien weltweit hat. Unten rechts befindet sich ein kleines Porträt von Jeanette Hofmann, einer Frau mit kurzen, lockigen grauen Haaren und einer Brille, die freundlich in die Kamera blickt. Sie ist Forschungsdirektorin am Alexander von Humboldt Institut für Internet und Gesellschaft.
"#Desinformation: nicht Unkenntnis, sondern politische Verortung" 🔍🌐
Das sagt unsere Principal Investigator Jeanette Hofmann (@achdujeh) im @JWI_Berlin-Interview, Teil des Fokus „Zusammenhalt in der Vernetzen Gesellschaft“ am Institut:
