@br00t4c #US Imperialism is dead, long live #US Imperialism..."The principal tools of global imperialism today are not #USaid agencies but #BigTech, artificial intelligence, and digital platforms that dictate the contours of our political and economic realities. The US corporate empire marches on, not through foreign aid, but through digital domination." Meanwhile, millions suffer as the crown is passed to #Musk and his mates

@scaramanga a key point is "#Musk’s net worth is massively overvalued. He owns and runs several companies, but his wealth and claim to be “the richest in the world" is tied up in #Tesla, itself a company with a significantly inflated stock price. This is a bubble that has been waiting to pop, and we can be the needle." Musk lives off huge loans that would be called in if the Tesla share price dips, forcing him to sell Tesla stock, causing the price to fall further and bingo, he is bust!

@BeAware it is clunky, the search function is a disaster and is hardly used by anybody, but I still love it
