I suppose, in a way, it's kind of refreshing to see conservatives have to face the kind of hypocrisy that we leftists see every day out of the supposed liberals in this country, but objectively, did they really think putting billionaires in charge of their party would mean less exploitation of the immigration and visa process? It's easier to rob people of their labor when they live in uncertainty after all.
Musk wasn't giving out millions of dollars out of the goodness of his heart. It was an investment, just like people who pay the "speaking fees" of prominent Democrats. They're all grifters.
Shocked to see the populist {% party.name %} campaign on reducing immigration then immediately use immigration to undermine {% party.country %} workers.

This leftist sees SO MUCH more hypocrisy coming from the conservatives. Why specify liberals?
Some people confuse Neoliberalism for Liberalism and then shit all over liberals because of it.
"Oh you can't do this to me. Do you know how much I've sacrificed!?" vibes, get fuck't, Norman.
hahahhaahahhahahahahahahahahah
lmao if that's true he blundered this one so hard. either he doubles down and doesn't reinstate premium, causing people to get annoyed at him and potentially leave. or he does reinstate it and has essentially lost control over his platform.
seems like the former so far, his last tweets are full of responses just talking about this.
It seems like he's demonitizing accounts who aren't even tweeting him directly, just talking about him. It doesn't matter what he does at this point, he's just identified himself as attacking Trump stans. They won't trust him again.
He will back down, though. Not only does he have the same crippling need to be loved as Trump does, but these lamprays srr probably generating a significant fraction of Twitter's revenue these days.
Musk doesn't need Twitter revenue, but he does need a controlled media platform
That's why he loves AI and hates wikipedia. He hates transparency and would be perfectly ok with only the appearance of a grass root movement. He doesn't want to be loved, he just wants to make it seem that way so the average uninformed reader believes it. Then his plan is to essentially Black Mirror Nosedive away the opposition from relevance, soon with a position of power as well as wealth.
