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.
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.
Ask the Russian oligarchs how they feel about Purin causing massive sanctions against Russia.
There won’t be any massive sanctions if ~85% of the world’s governments on your side. That’s why they’re propping up it in every country.
However, they’ll inadvertently also reignite territorial disputes between countries. The Russo-Ukrainian war is also based on the fact, that in the past, borders were different, and some countries were “greater” at that time.
Or about throwing half of them in jail (or through the window) because they said something he didn’t like or because he wanted their stuff.
Everyone thinks the leopard only eats other people’s faces.

Why is giving people the right to communicate “elevating the extreme right”?
Because anyone who isn’t loyal to their tribe is an immediate enemy.
Yeah, if I ever disagree I get called a MAGA, so literally the left has become what they used to hate.
Dude, you support Trump. You’re a maga.
People criticizing you does not violate your free speech. Getting banned from a website does not violate your free speech. Nobody is arresting you.
What right wingers mean by free speech is they want the law to protect people using racial slurs and discrimination above the rights of the people they hate to live equitably within society.
They want to go back to the 1950s, exactly the way they keep saying.
We already had it. Musk took it away.
What right were you looking for? The right to call certain people certain words?

Maybe. I don’t care if they get banned. But other people definitely should not be banned for telling them to fuck off.
this is what the .1% want - a full Corporatocracy where they, not elected leaders of governments, control countries and people.
Might be time to move to the EU, so when we all become corporate citizens, I can at least be a citizen of Lego
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!
Elon Musk has trouble elevating his own rocket. He sure as hell isn’t elevating anything in terms of political discourse…
I can’t stand Musk, but SpaceX is going really well, so I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean… If you’re referring to Starship, they didn’t expect it to work 100% on the first few tries (unlike some media, who report on it as if they failed).
I mean, he does have like 7^x log(ln) kids…
because he can’t elevates his dick anymore
Really? Didn’t he impregnate Grimes twice?
In addition to having kids with like 3 other women?
Say what you want about Musk, but there’s no denying he’s having a way easier time getting laid and spreading his genes than most of you.
There’s just something about money that even makes slimeballs like Musk irresistible to the opposite sex.
Half of his kids were IVF.
If he were helping the extreme left, I assure you, that would be ok for the most people here…
