I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: #ElonMusk’s ownership of twitter is going to turn out to be one of the most consequential political events of this century. This will have serious implications for disputes, wars & civil strife everywhere, from Taiwan to Tigray.
Twitter is now an important part of the economy. Many, many orgs & individuals depend on it for their most basic survival — especially non-profits. They are all now at the mercy of one very rich, whimsical man. #elonmusktwitter
Perhaps more importantly, no propaganda tool in the modern age has proved as effective at creating unrest or quelling protests as Twitter. Now, governments can simply appease one very rich, whimsical man to help them kill & oppress millions of people, wage wars etc. #ELONMUSK
This should NEVER have been allowed to happen. It sounds like gross overreach to say that the international community should have scuppered a business deal, but this is no ordinary “business deal”. It’s a historic political event with far-reaching implications. #elonmusktwitter
