@HistoPol@timnitGebru@nathans Sorry, Musk and Dorsey are just not that intelligent. This is little more than privileged stumblefuckery--any explanation that involves actual strategy is giving these numb-nuts far too much credit
@liquor_american Lol, congrats, I was waiting for someone to raise this point.
Yes, you are right.
They are *not* the brightest tech kids on the block. There are quite some more. One of the more strategic luminaries is #PeterThiel, #Elmo's old PayPal.
They are in this together. As I've been saying, when #Twitter, now #X folds, the right-(wing-)minded people that were filtered from the mixed old Twitter crowd are to be transferred en bloque to #Bluesky. The Democratic/progressive crowd was to be sent in a diaspora. The single global communication platform for would-be insurgents/government-opposition in authoritarian countries (#ArabSpring) destroyed. It worked. That was the ROI for them + their investors.
