Dear God, the USA resembles China or Russia more every day.

Highly corrupt and centralized government, rich oligarchs or government factions controlling media on behalf of government.
Big Business aligned with political factions. Government conducting lawfare on political opponents.

“Elon, like that old honey badger don’t care.”

You “misunderestimate” the man and his motives.

What do you suppose his motives are, with Twitter?

Good grief. He bought 10% of Twitter - he didn't take over Twitter, let alone Google, Facebook, Amazon Web Services, etc. Even if Musk's views on what Twitter should be align with those of free-speech advocates, this is one very small first step - definitely a positive sign, but that's all it is so far.

And worse, big corporations working to turn every child into a homo or trans. And a new SCOTUS Associate Justice who coddles pedos.

Musk now owns MORE STOCK in Twitter than ANY other single stock holder and that includes Dempsey!! The other shares are held by hedge funds however NONE of them hold 10% right now Musk is the major share holder!!

I don’t ascribe any motives to him....other than make money and piss off his detractors. If he can do both at the same time, he’s happy.

Free speech for all. Elon’s a big free speech advocate. How odd, don’t you think? What quaint thinking. Thinking is what Elon does with great regularity.

He’s probably happier than you, lol, ... and richer. Jealous?

Nope. It took me a long time to get to my current level of happiness and I’m grateful to the Lord for the peace and serenity I’ve gained. I admire Musk’s tenacity and ability to stand up to bullies. No more than that. Are you jealous?

He’s the 2nd greatest troll on Earth behind Trump, with 100x the money.

He can do whatever he wants with 9% of the company. He’ll remind them every day that he can buy the other 42% with pocket change.

Ted Turner terrorized Time Warner when he owned 4%. The largest shareholder of a company is a force to be feared.
