The thing about the “takeover” of Twitter that has me most concerned is that it has been how many recent social uprisings got their momentum to push back with public support. Think Occupy Wallstreet, Arab Spring, Mahsa Amimi protests in Iran, Hong Kong protests before pandemic, etc.

Someone taking over twitter and basically kneecapping it so that it’s no long a threat to those in power, is something they’d very much champion.

Do we know who was involved in helping Elon secure the funding?
