Stop worshipping billionaires.

Elon Musk threw away tens of billions of dollars to buy Twitter, and has spent the last year running it into the ground.

When billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech.

It’s a win for oligarchy.

@NiaMolinari @rbreich Yep. Running it into the ground is entirely the point.

@HellQuacker @NiaMolinari @rbreich genuine question but why would he want to run it into the ground after spending $44 billion? That seems like a lot of money to spend, even with his wealth.
