  I hate my conspiricy theory minded family but if someone told me they had proof Musk expressly bought Twitter to get right wing power in America and used the buyer’s remorse stock price manipulation attempt gone south as a cover story?

  I’d believe it.

    1. He’s dumber than you give him credit for
    2. What is the point of the supposed cover story? To cover from who, about what? He’s literally paying people to vote, again. Next to that, buying a social media to influence it almost sounds democratic.

    The reason that conspiracy theory is appealing is the same for all conspiracy theories; it’s more comforting to think the powerful have a clever masterful evil plan than the sad reality that we’re all making it up as we go, even the literal Nazis.

    Once you are there, start wondering if Trump is really that mad or if they are implementing an old Nixon plan.
