What the heck is going on at X/Twitter??? Everyone's saying something something Don Jr horse semen??? That's crazy! Please tell me this is a joke and Don Jr is NOT drinking horse semen!

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.

“Elon must be destroying the site on purpose he can’t be that stupid!” Last week a billionaire imploded, literally, because he thought he could outsmart the laws of physics. Never being told “no” makes a person stupid.
I would prefer it if Elon Musk was destroying his site during the work week. This isn't the first time.
