Musk is a distraction. Always has been. I've been following Musk/Tesla for more than 5 years. I was an investor in TSLA. Based on my following of him during those 5 years, he should not be trusted.
Here's why:
First and foremost, Musk's takeover of Twitter is the single largest exestential threat to Truth's success. The DS knows Truth is already successful - why there has been so much FUD and short interest in DWAC. We'll come back to this.
Second, Musk has a long history of making intentionally inaccurate and misleading statements via Twitter with the sole purpose of manipulating stock prices, mainly TSLA. For evidence of this, simply look up the SEC sanctions and penalties levied against Musk for numerous material mistatements.
Third, one of Musk's most costly material mistatements was when he claimed that a buyer had been found for Tesla, tweeting "$420. Funding secured". This tweet alone sent the share price up close to 20% before the SEC stepped in due to no buyer even being identified, let alone an offer made. *note the price, $420. 4/20. Stoners. - these figures/prices aren't real - they're nods to meme stonkers.
Fourth, Musk is now offering to buy Twitter for $54.20 a share. There's that "420" again.
Now, back to Musk/DWAC. Dorsey was a DS tool. Just like Zuck. So knowing that Truth is exploding, and represents a true threat to DS narrative control, what's more plausible?
Musk has benefited to the tune of billions from the U.S. government, i.e. they own him. The subsidies to SpaceX and Tesla alone made Musk rich. Then, the corrupt SEC approved a compensation plan for Musk (at Tesla) that was the largest single piece of financial fraud ever.
So if you're the DS, how do you stop Truth? You bring in Musk to "recreate" Twitter, preventing millions of users from ever leaving because Twitter is "reformed". Doesn’t matter if absolutely nothing changes and censorship runs rampant - Musk said he changed it and that will be enough for the normies.
Don't let Musk dustract you. This is just my opinion.
"Doesn’t matter if absolutely nothing changes and censorship runs rampant - Musk said he changed it and that will be enough for the normies."
Bullshit. It DOES matter if he doesn't follow through on his promise. If Musk buys Twitter and does NOT bring back President Trump and does NOT solve the censorship problems, then people like me will not be joining and Twitter will not prosper the way Musk intends.
If he does do those things, then I will join Twitter and welcome this reformed public square. Simple as that. I love Trump but I also love the free market economy. So far, Truth Social has been a bit of a let down as far as interface and marketing. We absolutely do need a public square for us Patriots, normies and even the incorrigible Libtards.
A big reason the libtards continue believing such radical ideas and thinking they are the majority is because either we refuse to use the public square with them or we've tried to and were banned for wrong think at a point in time.
I welcome a version of social media where we can all come together and openly express our views without censorship or authoritarian control over views the platform moderators dislike.
