The billionaire wants to advance his political program while preserving his power and wealth
If you didn’t think this was the point of him buying twitter…
It was never about the money, its about growing and empowering a movement that the global oligarchy think they can control.
It was never a clever ploy. He’s an idiot that said something he shouldn’t have it may ruin far more than Twitter before all is said and done.
I didn’t say it was clever, just that it was obvious. This was an opportunity for a foreign government (Saudis) to buy media/ narrative control over US media. A rightwing/ fascist government is easier for them to work on, so they do things that support its creation.
Which is exactly the same plan as last time. Then, the ultra-rich were afraid of communism so they propped up nationalism. Now though, they are after democracy as such.
What’s the downside for them? They either win big or things stay roughly the same and they might pay some extra tax but not much. No one (of them) is losing their bulk of their wealth or their freedom. Might as well roll the dice.
Why is giving people the right to communicate “elevating the extreme right”?
We already had it. Musk took it away.
What right were you looking for? The right to call certain people certain words?
this is what the .1% want - a full Corporatocracy where they, not elected leaders of governments, control countries and people.
You can remove the douche from the apartheid, but you can’t remove the apartheid from the douche
Okay but now I need to rewatch sausage party and repeat this.
Happy to assist!
If he were helping the extreme left, I assure you, that would be ok for the most people here…
