TSLA was down 12% today. That means Musk lost almost as much today as Twitter is costing him.

George - how is that a conspiracy theory?
In the article:
Amazon founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos on Monday mulled whether China has gained leverage over what happens on Twitter now that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has secured a $44 billion deal with the social media company.
"Interesting question. Did the Chinese government just gain a bit of leverage of the town square?" Bezos tweeted in response to a New York Times reporter who noted Tesla’s reliance on China for its large market and lithium batteries.
The reporter noted that Tesla's second-biggest market after the U.S. in 2021 was China and that Chinese battery makers are major suppliers for Tesla's electric vehicles. He also noted that when China banned Twitter in 2009, the government "had almost no leverage over the platform." He then suggested that, due to Musk's acquisition, "That may have just changed."
"Conspiracy theory?" Perhaps not. But, it reiterates what Ax said in his comment earlier.

The interesting part about all the crying and rending of cloth, is that Musk is only taking Twitter back to what it originally was...

That's pretty much what Jack Dorsey claims.

Written by a friend:
Virgil Caine was my name and I worked at Twitter HQ
Till Elon Musk bought us up, and I didn’t know what to do
In the Spring of ’22, we were all woke, the whole bloody crew
But by April, Musk was our boss,
our control had taken such a lossThe night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
and all its algorithms
The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
and brought free speech with him
they went, “La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la”I sat in my Tesla and had a good cry
wiping the tears from my eye
you know Trump’ll be back and our narrative might as well die
I can’t handle all that truth
And now that we’ve lost Ruth
there no sense in going to Court
and it’s too late to start selling short”The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
and all its algorithms
The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
and brought free speech with him
they went, “La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la”Unlike my father before me, I can’t work the land,
Facebook, Google, and Tik Tok, are all I have planned,
31, looking for work
blew my hips out trying to twerk
I swear on my avatar’s life
I’ll just have to make it on the salary earned by my wifeThe night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
and all its algorithms
The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
and brought free speech with him
they went, “La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la -

He said if there is ever a scandal involving him, he wants it called “ELONGATE”.

That was used when he mused on Twitter about taking Tesla private and got in trouble with the SEC.

Hmmm…..
We all know what to say out loud if we want to tempt the wrath of the 'far left'. What does one say out loud that would run afoul of the 'far right', again?

More or less the opposite? Transwomen are women, biological sex is not real, Trump lost in a landslide, etc.

Who is Talcom? Who is Shaun? When I open Twitter I can't tell which is a new tweet and which is a pinned tweet, or who tweeted him! What is going on! WHAT IS ROBLOX! WHAT IS ELDEN KING!
