The text messages described a series of actions Musk should take after he gained full control of the social media platform: “Step 1: Blame the platform for its users; Step 2: Coordinated pressure campaign; Step 3: Exodus of the Bluechecks; Step 4: Deplatforming.”

      His donor was himself, Saudis only made up about 4% of the investment. He’s not making money off ruining Twitter, he’s just an idiot who got lucky in the dotcom bubble. Stop giving him so much credit because you like conspiracies. The evidence here is some MAGA nutjob sent Musk text messages… really?

        It’s not a conspiracy that Elon runs interferance for conservatives and extremists and even Russia. It is not a conspiracy that he doesn’t like lefties and immediately proved it when he got the platform.

          But it is a conspiracy that he bought Twitter with the intention of running it into the ground for the sake of those groups. He bought it because he got into an internet pissing match and when he tried to back out they threatened to sue his ass into the ground. The dude is a fucking idiot edgelord, it isn’t surprising that the only people he has left around him are similar.

          You can bet your ass he’ll claim that was his goal the whole time though. Try to seem like a secret auper genius to anyone who will listen.

      I’ve been saying this for a while and have been called a conspiracy nut; or at minimum that it’s “unrealistic”.

      Well. Sweet vindication.

    The musky chodelet continues to surprise no one.

    He wants trump elected again. Which would be an existential threat to the USA.

        Have to say, the first 4 seasons of the Shitshow were pretty epic. You just have to watch it from a safe distance, such as 3000 km or more. If making 4 more seasons costs one country, I’m not entirely sure if it’s too much or a bargain.

            Yes. I’m aware that if you’re not watching it from a safe distance, it’s obviously not going to be very safe or enjoyable. My condolences.
