There's a reason that there's a concerted effort for trump adjacent and trump friendly billionaires to buy up or take control of large media empires. Shit works. And the people who own it now are down for it because they only ever cared about money and trump and co now actually has it.

Oh good so all those corporations with personhood that get bailed out like clockwork are going to have the funds they receive regulated? Sounds nice.

This is (yet another) way you realize these guys are soulless husks of human beings. How does that happen to you and you not immediately laugh and go "ok, fine, that was fucking funny"

-who we're making decent content.
What twitter is has absolutely nothing to do with who's posting what on it and everything to do with what the company behind it and in this case Elon must want it to be. They decide what gets pushed out to people. It's not organic.

Why do people think that a corporate social media platform is in any way swayed by the members on it as if it's an organic entity. Anyone under that illusion should have had it absolutely obliterated when musk single handedly turned the platform to a hell hole in spite of the actual users-

It's something that both needs to be said openly and something I fear is inevitable. There's zero effort or maybe even mental ability to deescalate on the federal side until the GOP loses power, and even the most appeasing milquetoast centrist has a breaking point when the world is Nazi looney tunes

I mean of course it is. Well, for people like waters it is and it isn't. They don't fucking care either way because they're not affected but they care that they can publicly dog whistle while knowing that the Jon rabidly xenophobic part of their audience are just legitimately too stupid...

Getting to know Elon musk more and more over the last year, I'm pretty sure his goal is to have him and a handful of women be the sole human survivors of a robot run earth. So I guess yeah, they'd all be rich technically.
