Nothing Elon has done at Twitter makes sense unless you recognize it's all about empowering authoritarians and weakening democracy.

Elon Musk is a right-wing oligarch building his own Death Star

Nothing he's done at Twitter makes sense unless you recognize it's all about empowering authoritarians and weakening democracy.

@lolgop As nothing Trump did as President makes sense unless looked at as the actions of a Russian agent trying to weaken the US.

@lolgop And to those ends, also destroying any trust anyone had in Twitter as a reliable channel for current information or private communication.

@lolgop The man’s best friend is on the record saying he doesn’t believe democracy is compatible with freedom. This is not a surprise to anyone who’s paying attention.

@lolgop I wish our government still cared about fighting fascism and protecting democracy.

@lolgop It's not a Death Star, though - he just thinks it is. So far, no Rightie™️ community has succeeded in becoming anything but a shrinking echo chamber for angry white people, and neither will Twitter in its Alt Right incarnation.

- and for sure, those echo chambers are most certainly problematic enough, but not Death Star problematic.
