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.”
The musky chodelet continues to surprise no one.
He wants trump elected again. Which would be an existential threat to the USA.
It would be the end of the USA as we have known it.
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.
Bit dramatic, no? It’ll just be a few years of catch-up… AGAIN
Goddamned fascist capitalists
Why’d you repeat yourself?
For the people in the back
Can someone please straight up murder this shithead already?
Step 5: … Step 6: Profit

The strategy was to tank global leftist talking points and disperse the community. His donors are mega rich saudis, russians, and others who benefit from right-wing ideologies being implemented. A blind man could see this before the sun is up.

That and reddit which is why they shit the bed the exact same time. It’s coordinated.

Also probably why Threads ever existed in the first place, in hopes of killing an uncontrolled venue in its infancy

No it’s not. The free money dried up and Reddit wants to go public. It’s no more nefarious than that.

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.

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.

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

You got vindicated by a random user on a platform full of people with rather extreme views. If you say that anywhere else - you’ll still be a conspiracy nut. It’s not clear what he’s doing or why, one can only guess (or create conspiracies if you will)

Not just them hedge funds are in on it. Anyone with money to lose has chipped in a few billion to the cause

You can make money off of stocks dropping. It’s called shorting an option.
