I believe the question about Twitter is "Why do you trust Musk?" [View all]

[bronxiteforever]

What in his history makes you think he gives a hoot about you? He is the richest man in the world and the richest man in the world can do whatever he wants. He has to be laughing at all the hand wringing about the wait and see attitude about what he will do next with Twitter.

You stay on Twitter he owns your information as well as his financial backers in Saudi Arabia, Quatar and the cryptocurrency companies (which act to undermine the dollar). You help make him richer. He lives in a consequence free world. You are a number in a column to be monetized by him. Twitter is now a private company. It is Musk’s property period.

Some always post that DU is irrelevant to the Democratic Party. I do not doubt or question those statements by and large because we are not the party big wigs here.

Now, using that same line of reasoning, zoom out and see how Musk perceives you and the rest of us. He could care less about you or me and a mighty moral stand. Just realize how insignificant you are in Musk’s world.

I posted an article about the EU warning him to play by their rules. I would imagine the richest man in the world, has contacts in Italy, Hungary and other authoritarian regimes within the EU. I wonder if the EU will really have the institutional power to force Musk to follow the rules. I hope it does but we will see.

Musk is a libertarian who hates taxes and Democrats. He wants a cryptocurrency to avoid government oversight. He is as Ayn Randian as can be. He supported Abbott in Texas. Expecting Musk to be something other than he always has been is a fools errand but one he will appreciate.
