And a bunch of people in the media will get the Justin Hammer treatment as a result.

They are intimidated. Eerily similar to the Trump headlines leading up to him running for Republican candidate.

Vile sacks of shite. If you go on Reddit every topic is STILL about Trump. I take solace in knowing he fricked them up in the head so bad.

By the way, he won. They know it. We know it.

This article explains the entire issue that Musk is trying to expose .... the Federal Government:


quote:

The only way Twitter, with 217 million users, could exist as a viable platform is if they had access to tech systems of incredible scale and performance, and those systems were essentially free or very cheap. The only entity that could possibly provide that level of capacity and scale is the United States Government – combined with a bottomless bank account. A public-private partnership.

If my hunch is correct, Elon Musk is poised to expose the well-kept secret that most social media platforms are operating on U.S. government tech infrastructure and indirect subsidy. Let that sink in.

The U.S. technology system, the assembled massive system of connected databases and server networks, is the operating infrastructure that offsets the cost of Twitter to run their own servers and database. The backbone of Twitter is the United States government.

"Twitter is not making a decision to decline the generous offer by Elon Musk because of stewardship or fiduciary responsibility to shareholders. The financials of Twitter as a non-viable business model highlight the issue of money being irrelevant. Twitter does not and cannot make money. Growing Twitter only means growing an expense. Growing Twitter does not grow revenue enough to offset the increase in expense.

There is only one way for Twitter to exist as a viable entity, people are now starting to realize this.

What matters to the people behind Twitter, the people who are subsidizing the ability of Twitter to exist, is control over the global conversation.

Control of the conversation is priceless to the people who provide the backbone for Twitter.

Once people realize who is subsidizing Twitter, everything changes."

That’s the fight.

What data? Emails? Fake names?


Burner emails of government employees. Emails of government officials asking Twitter to ban and suppress users. That kind of data.

Wasn’t Twitter a private company before it went public in 2013?

This purchase of Twitter will fall through. Nothing will come if it.

Anybody around here understand the technology/platforms deployed enough to be able to back up or refute what’s being suggested about social media on gov’t platforms?
