Do people writing about Musk buying Twitter think it has anything to do with money? It does not. Musk didn’t buy it for money and he would’ve never received the backing for it financially if it had a thing to do with money because it’s an objectively terrible deal. It’ll never be profitable and even the dumbest analyst from Dumbassville could take one look and determine that.

No — it’s all about eliminating a thorn in the plutocrat class’s side. Twitter is a largely-unfiltered font of information where people can and do tell the powerful to shove off. This harms them in an ego sense and financially/politically. Musk buying Twitter is just cover for the next step. As mentioned, not even the biggest dumbass in the universe would’ve approved a deal like that (remember, it’s not Musk’s money at stake here) from a financial perspective if there were not other motivations at work.

This is all about taming and with plausible deniability (ah, a clown ruined Twitter because he’s an idiot!) destroying information sources that are a threat to the ruling classes. That’s all.

It has already to some extent, but I’d expect Reddit to be up next to be further destroyed.

I’m right and all y’all are wrong.
