Manufacturing the Far-Right: Who Is Shaking the Jar?
https://unlimitedhangout.com/2024/09/investigative-reports/who-is-shaking-the-jar/
Excerpt:
.....Musk claims to be a “free speech absolutist,” yet he simultaneously censors people on X. He declares that X is a social media platform that provides “freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach.” Someone with an X account can say whatever they like on that platform, but if their “reach” is restricted by the X algorithm, other X users will have no opportunity to read or hear it.
How does this censorship work? To become an “influencer” on X, you either pay for the privilege or are approved and actively promoted by the X algorithm. This means that for ordinary people and smaller independent journalists, unless X decides to promote what they say, the platform is an echo-chamber. In other words, X is a narrative control and propaganda operation.
Elon Musk is a defence and intelligence contractor for the US military industrial complex. He has leveraged billions of dollars of debt to fund a succession of failed business ventures. Musk holds the world record for losing the largest-ever personal fortune when he dumped Tesla stock to finance the Twitter deal. Supposedly one of the richest people on Earth, his purchase of Twitter and his push to transform it into X has certainly brought public attention to the issue of free speech. Yet Musk evidently bought it with the intention of censoring posts on it.
Musk has had the unwavering financial support of a clique of globalists and accelerationist proponents of the Dark Enlightenment. Working in partnership with governments, they have kept Musk afloat whenever his businesses threatened to collapse—often by pouring enormous taxpayer subsidies into his speculative ideas.
For example, in 2002 Musk launched Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) with the support of Michael Griffin, then president and chief operating officer of CIA investment firm In-Q-Tel. But by 2008 Musk was flat broke. Despite considerable taxpayer-funded investments, SpaceX was bankrupt.
Luckily for Musk, Griffin was by then the Administrator for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). In December 2008, NASA awarded Musk a $3 billion space station resupply contract. SpaceX hadn’t yet successfully launched a single rocket, but Griffin bailed it out anyway. (NASA is funded by US taxpayers.)
SpaceX is also indebted to the US Agency for International Development (USAID), a CIA front organisation that pretends to be a charity. USAID is paying SpaceX handsomely to provide the Ukrainian military and Ukrainian citizens with access to SpaceX-launched Starlink, a satellite communication system. Safe to say, then, that Musk has had a very long working relationship with the US intelligence community—the CIA, in particular.
Further points of interest:
Musk is the grandson of a leader of the original Technocracy movement.
Musk is a transhumanist who wants to insert computer chips in our brains so we can physically merge with machines and thereby eradicate the human race.
Musk promotes Universal Basic Income (UBI), carbon taxes, mRNA vaccine technology and pretty much every other G3P ambition and objective.
Musk is a big fan of super apps—which he calls “everything apps”—like China’s WeChat and Ukraine’s Diia. Not surprisingly, he’s making moves to turn his X platform into an “everything app,” thus enabling fellow Dark Enlightenment partners like Peter Thiel to use X in their efforts to consolidate control of online digital finance.
Despite all of this, the G3P oligarch Musk is being promoted by many as a man of the people who is dedicated to free speech. X continues to censor journalists and appears to engage in prolific shadow banning. Whatever the reasons liberty-minded citizens and the BBC’s Marianna Spring plug Musk, their assertion that he champions freedom of expression is ridiculous.
Provocative comments made by Musk’s PR team, such as the claim that UK civil war is inevitable, are obviously designed to draw attention to the risks inherent in free speech. There undoubtedly are consequences to continued freedom of expression. But, as political philosopher John Stuart Mill pointed out more than 165 years ago, events throughout history prove we must pay a price for freedom and for defending everyone’s right to speak freely. The alternative is tyranny.
*************************
As long as Musk’s business success is due to government, which he is the largest private contractor to, he cannot be trusted.

Haha! I see you put the Mickey Mouse porno clock on he wall. Nice touch!
