Thanks mate, what a post! Im on board witcha 100%!

I wrote this about Elon few days ago, when I saw the news that twatter has a ID verification system feature built in, in my last english publication:

Because of how restricted and how easy it is to use, twitter breeds mediocrity and shallowness. No need to read and think much. Influencing the masses with trends. “Bread and Circus” as Romans put it. And what are progressive zombies using it for, it being their favorite online platform? For promotion of perversion of society and useful idiotism through propaganda and misinformation. Why do you think twitter is so popular in mass media? I would bet that at least a third of its users are either AI bots or influence-farm employees. Which is why twitter is used by politicians to be able to quickly influence the herd. Never mind that all what Musk wants is for you to be uploaded into the Starlink grid. Few days ago he tweeted: “If you do not like this reality, stop paying attention to it!“. Put on your VR set and give us your blood and bones! That is what they want! It is kind of obvious that Musk was sent in to salvage twitter from becoming obsolete. His rhetoric is designed to win over younger people who believe in the supremacy of new technologies and millions of dollars are spent on marketing him as some genius techno-messiah. Which is why I view people who are ok with what he is doing as brain-dead automatons.

...

Im afraid your predictions are right on the money. Because substack owners are playing the market game substack is doomed from the start and their freedom-loving rhetoric is basically there to get more users who will raise their worth.
