Brilliant.

This is the Way.

Heck yeah. That’s the Marcy I know.

Musk does make a pretty good argument for the dangers of the "foreign born" -- but mainly by his personal example.

It’s right there. He’s using all of you as an example of how “fair & balanced” the website is. X will maintain its status so long as journalists and celebrities remain, for whatever altruistic reason each one may have. The far right can be monitored from an anonymous account if necessary.

The thing about authenticity is that you can't purchase it.

The purpose is to elevate the bots and restoring blue checks to popular accounts tries again to create a false parity between real people and an army for influence under his control. Then he lied again to cover his tracks saying that they're "cracking down" on bots and trolls. Rinse > Repeat

It is interesting. Like listening to MAGA table talk.
