It’s all a redux of 2015 when social media became weapons grade propaganda for Russian trolls in the 16 election, except now it’s Elon raising a rw Twitter army to finish the job. The end goal has always been the same: to flood the zone with bs and exhaust any semblance of non authoritarian desires. Be careful about assuming he’s “funny”, we all thought the same thing about Trump and look what happened. It’s not funny, it’s sad, and the sooner we give it less oxygen, the better.
Entertaining, insightful in places, and, IMHO, wrong. Silicon Valley became an enormous game of Liars Poker long ago, and Elon is its current champion. The Valley has absolutely *no* collective will, let alone to replicate trump, but players there *do* each have the individual will to replicate *Elon*, and those most enamored of the moving fast and breaking things would rather not have Biden leveling the field or limiting the damage.
Oh my word, what a great last line!! lol
"Because once you start to think of Elon as a Silicon Valley’s attempt at replicating Donald Trump, everything he’s doing with Twitter makes sense."

Wow. Not surprised. Agree with Stan R. Mitchell on this one!
