I’ve long believed that social media were government operatives. Nobody on the face of the earth has the billions in funds to create all the social media giants in their forms. If every social media was dependent upon private funds, they would be more like Rumble, Parler, and and MeWe and Truth social.

They are great information gatherers without the government having to do much work to gather all the information of the people. That’s why I don’t put anything on my social media, although I’m sure they have meta data means to get most of what they want from me without me saying a word.

If my hunch is correct, Elon Musk is poised to expose the well-kept secret that most social media platforms are operating on U.S. government tech infrastructure and indirect subsidy. Let that sink in.

Don't also forget that Twitter has a huge market capitalization. They can eat-up shareholders capital to run their business. But that also does not mean that the deep-state can arrange crony businesses to step up and support Twitter, just like in China.

This is how China does it - only slightly more overtly.

Private companies run their social-media, only with even more strict control from the Chinese Government.

The USA and Chinese governance models are converging.

The only way Twitter, with 217 million users, could exist as a viable platform is if they had access to tech systems of incredible scale and performance, and those systems were essentially free or very cheap. The only entity that could possibly provide that level of capacity and scale is the United States Government – combined with a bottomless bank account. A public-private partnership.

Wow...this would be a game changer and an eye opener.

Musicians don’t make any money from videos that are watched on YouTube. You can find practically any song that was ever recorded on YouTube. And they have no competition.

That’s a far cry from the days when songwriters got paid royalties when their songs were performed live in dance halls and concert halls where unionized musicians performed.

No way the music industry would allow this to happen, unless they were given no choice by the DS.

I happen to believe that phasing out vinyl and eventually transitioning to streaming is all part of a plan to demonetize the music industry, and make music less important to society, particularly young people with raging hormones. They want them to be obedient to the State in the digital age.
