Look what he did to Twitter. I don't think he has the slightest clue of what he's doing and is likely a pawn of someone else playing him. Maybe a bit of XI, maybe a bit of Theil. His companies constantly manage him by playing to his ego. Dude's a billionaire puppet.
He destroyed one of the most effective tools for dissenting against government propaganda? He may have wanted it for a PR coup but his actions do serve his purposes quite well no?
Respectfully, since when has it ever been that? Color revolutions? CIA shit. In the US, it regularly suppressed Bernie supporters while amplifying DNC talking points. DAPL and indigenous struggles were regularly silenced. If you're implying he is 4d cheesing this shit. No, I'm not buying it in the slightest. That doesn't match any of his history. Matter of fact, and I have nothing to back it up, but I'm still of the opinion that he was likely convinced to buy Twitter by Theil, knowing he would crash and burn it.
He is the exact character you see like that. A man that couldn't possibly succeed at his own plans if he went off leash. So yeah, that he is a tool to be used would fit perfectly. I couldn't say that any particular move is such. However knowing each move could be such means that despite being a fool he can't be dismissed as one.
However, untill TikTok it was. And they have sunk their claws into that also. Without Twitter we wouldn't have this site for example.
