'Elon Musk, with his patented anarcho-capitalist cowboy image rides in and saves the day, reforming the operation under the flag of liberty and progress, while the dystopian consequences of the entire technosphere horrorshow continue on unabated.'

Fair points and some of us remember billionaire Pierre Omidyar's Intercept was formed to publish Snowden. So by 2014 Booz-Allen-NSA had full backdoor surveillance we know details about and 95% of the leak still not public. Vast wealth and ethical motives rarely partner but to me what Musk wants more than control is adoration and markers of historic importance to stand like Edison's patents and none of groups losing propaganda powers are Musk fans anyway.

In the two years of massive purging the digital diaspora that sprung up here at Substack and other refugee platforms have been researching, reading and debating while blue check Twitterratti fling smears and repeat talking points. My hope is to watch the floodgates open with Informed vs Uninformed.. now banned docs getting a piece of dirtbags like Gottlieb! *popcorn*

I don't care since there are enough people who are aware of viable alternatives but won't use them. Gab, GETTR, Minds and, the best, Telegram.

I remember when twitter or fb went down, people suddenly jumped on Gab, GETTR and Telegram - proving they knew of them.

Have a read of this re Musk - there seems a bit of a smell about him....
