   Elon Musk says that he'll tweet what he wants even if it costs him money.
   
   Funny that.
   
   I left #Twitter because I want to post what I want -- and now I'm paying for Fediverse servers out of my own pocket precisely because Elon won't let other folks tweet what they want.
   
   I'm very happy that, in my small way, I'm costing Elon money.

     Yep.

     She's there because Musk wants her to sell ads.
     He'll keep running things.

     She's there because people like Musk love putting women in charge of failing enterprises. It reinforces their belief that women can't achieve.

     @atomicpoet It's not about the money for him, it's about the fascism and owning the playground. I highly suspect the new CEO is mainly there to get Trump elected (people keep mistaking this for being a business venture when it's more like a rich man buying a newspaper to control the message because controlling the message and manipulating politics is what makes his real money and where he has his real fun playing with power...). @socialmedianews

     @TheActualBrian A lot of male clinical narcissists tend to like to surround themselves with women because they don't see women as competition and women are more likely to perform all kinds of emotional labor. They may hate women but they also hate other men and they see other men as more of a threat. Just like women who are clinical narcissists will use sex as a means to manipulate and charm men and see all other women as competition for male attention and power.

     This is all very true.

     He will very likely treat her like one more thing to control.
     I hope she documents everything and sues the crap or if him.

     @TheActualBrian She sounds perfectly capable of looking after herself and just as terrible as he is (she's in Trump's pocket, worked on The Apprentice and was appointed to a committee by him). I wish people would stop automatically thinking she's being victimized simply because she's a woman, it's super sexist. Women can be terrible people trying to install fascism too. @atomicpoet @socialmedianews

     Oh, I'd hope that anyone working for Musk documents everything. He's horrific and needs to be taken down.

     I didn't realize that she's likely just another viper in the den.
