still sounds like ukraine virtue signal
I agree with you, and I agree with you on Musk being controlled opposition. Where we may disagree slightly, is that controlled opposition can get out of hand.
The system did everything possible to get Trump out of power, and it took a fake pandemic and mail-in voting to finally get rid of him. Trump literally bypassed the entire political and media machine that gatekeeps who becomes POTUS.
Once he was in, the usual attempts to either remove or co-opt him took place. And he's out [for now].
I do think in this sense, Musk could also bypass a lot of the mainstream controls that are in place.
Look at Putin - apparently he has destroyed $1 TRILLION in NATO arms, at the cost of only $50 billion for Russia.
Those with the power currently are not untouchable. If they boil the frog too quickly [which has been happening lately], they can be removed from authority.
I feel like if Musk is good for one thing, it's that he actually does believe in free speech. Big Tech censorship is out of hand, and he did clean up Twitter nicely. So I am still a fan of his.
