"Elon Musk’s Not-so-Hidden Agenda"
(Nov 29, 2022)

"Why did Elon Musk purchase Twitter? His official answer – to defend free speech and democracy – is so unconvincing that the question won’t go away."
“For powerful individuals democratic legitimacy is a threat, because it is a check on their power. Why wouldn't one of the world's most powerful individuals want to eliminate it?”

The man who was described as a genius entreprener and the richest person in the world is now clearly trying to turn Twitter into an "Alt-Right Troll Farm".
"Elon Musk Is Turning Twitter Into a Haven for Nazis"

"Musk has welcomed neo-Nazis back onto the platform, engaged with them on his timeline, and posted multiple tweets that appeal directly to them."
(WTF, Musk's birdsite reinstating alt-right political fixer Roger Stone who has been banned for threatening news anchors in 2017...)
