I didn’t say it was clever, just that it was obvious. This was an opportunity for a foreign government (Saudis) to buy media/ narrative control over US media. A rightwing/ fascist government is easier for them to work on, so they do things that support its creation.
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.
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.

Ask the Russian oligarchs how they feel about Purin causing massive sanctions against Russia.
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”?
We already had it. Musk took it away.
What right were you looking for? The right to call certain people certain words?
