    This is arguably true: Twitter isn't real life & culture wars are a distraction. Also true: Musk is willing to spend $44 billion who his reactionary buddies can keep misgendering on twitter.https://twitter.com/cbouzy/status/1520365523955027968 …

    Elon Musk is purchasing Twitter because he was upset that Twitter had suspended an account that was mocking a transgender female. This should give you an idea of his definition of "free speech." https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-shadow-crew-who-encouraged-elon-musks-twitter-takeover-tesla-jack-dorsey-11651260119 … pic.twitter.com/FFt0FYiHWW

        So the chronology here is 1) Musk in relationship with Grimes. They have 2 kids. 2) Break-up 3) Grimes starts dating trans person 4) Musk offers to buy Twitter for $44 billion to lift ban on transphobic harassment. Amazing.https://twitter.com/cbouzy/status/1520365523955027968 …

        World hunger? Climate change? A global vaccination program? Nah - the cause taken up by the world’s wealthiest person is shitposting. What a gem. How is he not universally beloved?

        I think Twitter is currently a representative sample of real life for people under the age of 45. It’s possible Elon might attract a lot of older users, but it’s also possible this becomes a spectacular failure

        In what way are culture wars a distraction? Culture is a (the?) key element of political choices..far more than any rational analysis of what we think of as key issues.Recent years have laid bare culture's centrality.

        I'm convinced this is all because his children's mother is now dating a Transwoman
