Leftism

The reply to that comment is much more likely to be true, though. Elon Musk is not playing 26-D chess. He's not playing 4D chess. He's not playing chess. He's not playing checkers, or even Chutes & Ladders. He's playing Candyland. He's not thinking more than 1/10th of a move ahead, and more often than not, he's thinking 2 moves behind.

His consistency in his behavior with Twitter (in terms of left/right bias) is not down to any kind of planning or forethought, it's just that he behaves in ways that conform to his worldview whenever the opportunity presents itself. It looks like planning because it's consistent and because there's no friction involved in implementing his desires (since he's the final arbiter of what happens at Twitter, and he has no one around him willing to tell him he's making bad decisions).

Elon Musk is an emotionally dysregulated rich man whose college level education did not actually stick. That's all. There's nothing more nefarious or supervillainous about it. He's just a lonely moron with money.

I don't know, I think it makes a lot more sense to assume that he's a dysfunctional fuck-up who's spending his mid-life crisis taking on a project he clearly can't handle.

I could see many billionaires doing that. But Musk is the same guy who built high speed one-way underground car tunnel with no room for emergency services instead of a fucking train. He doesn't have the capacity for such schemes.

Remember the real reason ~~Elon Musk~~ the Saudis and Russians bought Twitter for Musk was to influence the 2024 election and stop any sort of leftist organizing or media on the site.

FTFY

Doubt many leftists use Twitter/X anymore anyway. Too much fascism and enshittification. Much better alternatives that are decentralized with the fediverse.

I don’t believe this post. Musk is a dumbass but he’s on record admitting to voting for Biden. Even Elons not crazy enough to support Trump.
