Musk is a charlatan and carnival barker. Anybody any powers of observation can see this. Far from being a genius as his PR claims him to be, he is just a trust fund opportunist whose money came from South African gem mining that historically has been tied authoritarian regimes. So we should not be surprised by his right wing, authoritarian leanings at all. Nor should we be shocked that such regimes would fund his misadventures such as Twitter. It is not a monetary investment, but a political and PR investment. Hey, if Musk has no problem lying to the SEC, and does not fear those repercussions, we are dealing dealing with a somebody who believes he is above the law.

Fora like Substack and Post and mastodon are the places to go now. Twitter will only be for those who are insecure conspiracy theorists who are the suckers who buy into propaganda and already have authoritarian leanings.

Great piece! Wonder what companies like Google, Apple, and Amazon are doing about keeping garbage like this off their services. This has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Evil should never be amplified and given a voice.
