This deal is dangerous for our democracy. Billionaires like Elon Musk play by a different set of rules than everyone else, accumulating power for their own gain. We need a wealth tax and strong rules to hold Big Tech accountable.

You seemed to be totally content with letting Blackrock and Vanguard own the largest stake in Twitter …you know the investment firms that are trying to purchase every single family home in the country to create a new class of permanent renters?

“Largest stake” is not the same is “controlling stake”. Very different, in fact.
Details matter.

Imagine, working hard, being successful, making money, all for your own personal gain. Such a bizarre concept.

Imagine using all the benefits of the Governments in this country, using the laws of this country for your own benefit, living in this country while the military protects you, using the highways of this country, and more.
And paying little or no taxes to support any of it.......

Musk has a goal of free speech.
The awesome thing about free speech is that you can tweet something like this.

theres no such thing as free speech, just the illusion of free speech. Tell me, how is twitter not a free speech platform right now? What are some things that I am not able to say?

YOU think it’s unfair that Elon has so much money so YOU think that justifies YOU stealing his money. Absurd & greedy. Politicians like you need less power, not more.

That's not what she says. Having a lot of money means responsibility. Not only for your own eccentric hobbies and plans, but also by contributing to a better country and society. Seems reasonable to me.
