Musk’s behavior on this platform makes clear the abject failure of a country ruled by billionaire oligarchs convinced they know better and focused on self-service.
Elon $44B to be a troll has allowed Trump back on twitter, cause he is desperate for attention.
He did it with a POLL !! where all the Russian Bots voted!!! and his kids.
The first minute there were 500k voters with 62% voting for Trump to come back. Let that sink in.
Jumping from 0 followers to now 1.8 million in just 30 minutes.
The “content moderation council with widely diverse viewpoints” Elon promised to create for this kind of decision all quit.
Internet Ethics @IEthics Remember, though:
This is brilliant engagement marketing by Elon. The media will be writing tons of articles about this, leading even more people to go to Twitter to see what is going on. The outrage machine is being used by Elon very effectively.
His major advertisers said they’d leave forever if Trump is back because then it would be clear he doesn’t care for brand safety He basically killed the site with this
The eight stages of Trump’s guilt:
1. “I didn’t do it”
2. “I didn’t do anything wrong”
3. “I didn’t do anything illegal”
4. The people accusing me are guilty”
5. “The law is illegal”
6. “Prove it!”
7. “What happened didn’t happen”
“It’s fine, I did it and I’ll do it again…”
In a major blow to Elon Musk, CBS News announces that it is suspending all activity on Twitter over Elon Musk’s disastrous reign as CEO.
One of the most under-looked stories, in my opinion, is the fact that Elon Musk reportedly spoke with Vladimir Putin about Putin’s “peace plan” — then posted Putin’s demands on Twitter, purchased the app for $44B, then endorsed the GOP, who vowed to cut off US funding to Ukraine.
A thing to be aware of:
Cathie Wood (ARK) is a mentee of Art Laffer;
Art Laffer has worked with Square (Jack Dorsey) on economics reports;
Dorsey and Musk are collaborating on the Twitter takedown;
Laffer developed the “Laffer Curve” (a key part of “Reaganomics”) under Reagan.2/ This network is tightly-knit — and trying, under new names, to bring about Laffer’s “trickle down economics” and free market fundamentalism. More on this soon, but watch this to get the vibe between Wood, Musk, Dorsey. July 21, 2021.
3/These folks are peas in a pod, and we’re seeing the fruit of their 2021 ideas now
4/Dorsey: “I was very skeptical of corporations when I was a kid, and remain skeptical of corporations today” sounds a lot like “I never wanted Twitter to be a company” and “Elon is the singular solution I trust … in terms of Twitter no longer being a company.” @ 45:10
5/More on Art Laffer, who has been widely derided for the flimsiness of his economic theories.
6) Art Laffer receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump in 2019. This is the network we’re dealing with.
*Justice Alito may have leaked Hobby Lobby decision in 2014, according to new bombshell New York Times story. Rev. Rob Schenck built cozy relationships with right-wing justices and megadonors, infiltrated Supreme Court Historical Society;

People need to stay on Twitter to organize, NOT flee. Don’t cede the town square to him.
Memo to Elon, freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom to incite an insurrection.
Musk, since buying Twitter:
1. Pushed a vile conspiracy theory about Nancy Pelosi’s husband
2. Encouraged his followers to vote Republican in the midterms
3. Reinstated Trump
