- So, he ran PBS and NPR off of Twitter with the "state-sponsored media" label earlier this year (to great public outrage), and he also removed the same label from the Russian propaganda rag Russia Today?
  
  Elon Musk is a compromised citizen, now a Russian asset
“Free speech online is what enabled the Trump revolution in 2016,” the anonymous author wrote. “If the Internet had been as free in 2020 as it was four years before, Trump would have cruised to reelection.”
Yeah, freedom of speech that we have in America, that Russians took advantage of to trick dumb assholes to vote for a fascist.
And yes, if so many people didn't smarten the fuck up the second time Trump would have cruised to re-election, and Russia would have declared another victory over the United States, and this treasonous fuck would have celebrated.
- Yes but also, I wanted to bring the concept of repeating the same lies. It drowns the truth and when you repeate the same lie, people start tobelieve it. Idk, just read like that when Putin took over Crimea. I don't remember everything but it was basically repeating the lies.
- Free speech is when voting for the guy who expresses open disdain for the media.
Totally bizarre article that I had to keep checking I was on NBC News. A mystery text message told Elon to do a bunch of shitty things that he basically did... and this message appeared in a court case in Delaware. Weird.
