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.
His AI / robot visions are interesting, I'm sure in his mind he believes the "technocracy club" transhumanists are going to push things in a direction that turns out to not be in humanity's best interests, and EM thinks he can pave an alternative path that preserves basic freedoms and human dignity. But I also suspect he's misguided in his assessment of his own abilities to safeguard civilization. For one thing he has zero clue about biophysics and the environmental variables that impact human health in spheres other than just particle based toxins and hazards. Integrating tech "non self" and biology "self" so closely without understanding biophysics is an epic fail.
