I hope he does forensic accounting. Who owns the servers? Where did the money come from? How much control has the government had from behind the scenes?

I am certainly interested in the censorship and the slanting of coverage/election meddling/payment in kind/campaign finance malfeasance. But I am also interested in the simple questions about corporate accounting. Because I don’t think Twitter is an ordinary company at all. Same with Facebook, Google, or MSM. Dark Money drives the whole shebang.

I suspect tons of stuff being tossed in the fireplace as we write.

They ALL met with Obammy once he usurped the POTUS.
There was even a pic floating around on the net of em all at that meeting. I suspect that was the meeting that laid out “the plan” that we’ve been seeing unfold.

Me too. I believe Operation Mockingbird was a real thing, and probably some form of it still is going on.

I'd argue the same about Amazon to an extent. Too many cozy tie-ins.

Google=CIA or so I’ve read on the interwebs and considering what google does, collect massive amounts of data on people, I wouldn’t doubt it. Same has been said of facebook who has a similar but more personal purpose.

I think twitter was just a well timed concept. I can hear the conversation now:

Nerd 1: People’s attention span is so bad these days that they can’t even write more than a few sentences on a subject.

Nerd 2: Hey, let’s start a platform where you’re only allowed to write a few sentences.

Do you think they all began as just clever ideas? I do. And then we changed these platforms and over time other parties saw potential to mess around with our minds in new ways. Making us perceive reality .... differently.

Attention span is fundamental. Without it we cannot learn. We cannot think.

An excellent point that you made re. forensic accounting.

The purchase agreement would have a conditional agreement contingent on certain financial and managerial conditions of twitter as verified by independent accounting and other specialists that audit twitter. These would by furnished by Musk to go over everything.

Not only Musk but his financing providers would have a right of refusal if there is anything hidden from or misstated to Musk.
