You know how people looked at the dumb decisions of #StocktonRush and said don’t get in the #Titan ?
Don’t get into an #ElonMusk #Tesla or #SpaceX

Maybe the super-rich want Twitter gone because they saw how it was used to organise protests during the Arab Spring. Musk is just the guy making it happen.
I said this when the sale first happened. Those billionaire Saudis didn’t loan him the 8 bil needed to finance the sale, they gave it to him as payment for a job. And it’s 100% the long tail of the Arab spring reaction
I don’t think it’s anything so specific, but the rich and powerful most definitely want to keep social media under their control so as to keep populations under control.
Though that’s not about always preventing protests. They likely want destabilization to happen, just only in the countries they want it to happen in.
I mean if the goal was to prevent ALL protest, twitter would be boosting only happy thoughts and photos of kittens and puppies right now. But instead it’s pushing some fascist shit. Not exactly stuff that promotes stability.
Or maybe some branch of Operation Mindfuck is converting rich silicon valley cryptobro jackasses into useful idiots to trigger an open source social media revolution.
