    Twitter Files story

    ah yes, a story that ultimately comes from elon musk and elon musk only. that’s obviously true, because when musk has to choose between his own agenda and healthy public discourse, you can trust him to never stir shit in a way he thinks will favour him. we all know that he never proposed hyperloop to quash californian high speed rail, for example. he also obviously is completely neutral and has no agenda. you see, he unbanned all these russian propagandists, nazis and other shitbags just because he is such a free speech absolutist and entirely not because he wanted to> For example, if you control the mainstream media and big tech, you can make an issue seem like a huge problem by overhyping it everywhere.

    your words, not mine. musk wen full on “waaah waah they won’t let me overblow this manufactured non-story. they are obviously evil”. that’s because it turns out that conspiracy theorists spend more time on site, pumping up engagement numbers and bringing more ad revenue. this happened to facebook before
