- We know Twitter is an indispensable propaganda machine for the left. (It is worth far more than $45B to them for that reason alone.)
- We think that (at least) some portion of the Twitter code and server farms are government-connected. (So turning over actual evidence of this to a third party makes no sense.)
- No one knows whether Elon is a black hat or white hat.
It makes no sense to me that the DS would relinquish control of the propaganda machine and evidence of the gov't infrastructure without more of a legal fight.
Therefore, I personally see only two options:
First, this is an elaborate scheme by (black-hat) Elon and the DS to 'pretend' that Twitter will be 'more fair'. They know that they will (temporarily) piss off some libs, but they are hoping to keep normies from joining TruthSocial. (Plus, they take Twitter private, further hiding the gov't connections.)
Second, the only way that (white-hat) Elon had the leverage to force the purchase was through behind-the-scenes white-hat pressure. It will eventually be folded into DWAC and/or the inner-workings will be revealed to Durham (or other prosecutors).
Unfortunately, only the black-hat first option seems plausible to me. I hope I'm wrong - or that there are other options I've missed.
Any ideas?
They have no reason to pretend. It's not like people were storming the servers, and now they're stopping because of Musk. If it's BH, it's really a nothingburger on our end while they shuffle money around. Conclusion: it only makes sense as a WH op, mostly because BH don't gain anything significant. The only nefarious interpretation is if the BH side is simply full of divided parties who look out for themselves and have internal squabbling, which is still good for us anyway.
