2. Analyze the writer’s PoV and explain it.

I think it mixed first person and third person POV throughout the
article.
In the 1st paragraph, the writers using third-person narration to
offers the potential for both objectivity and omniscience, while in
the 11th paragraph the writer using first-person narration to offers
intimacy and immediacy between narrator and reader.

3. Analyze the Tone and Mood.

The tone of the article is cooperative
The mood of the article is thoughtful

4. Give your personal opinion(s) towards the same topic.

Musk is buying Twitter for $44bn not only because he is one

of a few white men who can raise that astounding amount of
money, but to feed his narcissism. It is the same corrosive
strain of narcissism that made me stay on Twitter for as long
as I did before I had a belated epiphany.

I also think that Musk is buying Twitter because he wants to

be loved. The Beatles wrote that “money can’t buy me love”. I
think Musk believes that, beyond power, Twitter can indeed
buy him love.
 Lately, Musk has been getting lots of love from people who
use Twitter to hate on people, ideas and facts they detest –
“liberals,” gays, minorities, scientists, doctors, journalists,
and all sorts of anonymous people who fight injustice,
inequality and lethal viruses, even kids who know the earth is
burning up and want to do something about it.

I. Choose three out of five numbers below! And try to guess what
type of fallacy from each number you choose (explain your
answer!)

2. “Giving money to charity is the right thing to do. So charities have

a right to our money.”
It’s Equivocation, on the word "right": "right" can mean both
something that is correct or good (as in "I got the right answers on the
test") and something to which someone has a claim (as in "everyone
has a right to life").

3. “I don't see why we need affirmative action policies for women.

Just look at all the problems we are having in universities hiring
enough women. We hear stories all the time of women not wanting the
jobs that are offered.”
It's The Red Herring Fallacy, because an irrelevant information is
presented alongside relevant information, distracting attention from
that relevant information, which in this case appear on the last
sentence, “We hear stories all the time of women not wanting the jobs
that are offered.”

5. “My roommate said her philosophy class was hard, and the one I’m
in is hard, too. All philosophy classes must be hard!”
It’s The Fallacy of Division, which is arguing that what is true of the
whole must be true of the parts. Some of philosophy classes might be
fun and not that hard.
