I mean, yeah. That was the entire point of him buying it: to control one of the biggest social media networks ever, and to use that to push and pull the public discourse however he wanted, in the interest of being a kingmaker. And it fucking worked.
and sadly, the amount of people who use chatgpt to try and get factual information, is quite high… which makes this even more terrifying. It’s about systematically gaining control of communication and information.
I’ve had people on Reddit and Lemmy dispute my comments by citing ChatGPT… AI is a really innovative wrench that people are using as a hammer.
I also blame the AI companies for pushing that usage. It doesn’t matter how many tiny disclaimers Google and Microsoft add when they return AI answers to queries by default.
Even if you don’t take profit off the list, it could well be that he had more financial success in these other companies because he uses twitter as promotion and propaganda platform…
Buy a company mostly with other people’s money (he paid ~15B of the 44B offer) lose a lot, 70% or more but use it to win an election and gain 200B in profit.
Musk is a salesman and he’s good at getting investors to get behind his crap. He’s never produced actual value but that doesn’t matter to stock values apparently.

Unfortunately, looks like buying Twitter was a very effective choice if you take profit off the priority list

There’s tons of alternatives out there now that are as good or better.
If he gets it then clearly it will be the Confederate States ChatGPT.
Are they as popular, or the default use. How many “alternatives” are actually just piping through chatgpt.
Controlling information means getting control of the defaults, the ones people are used to using.

Tesla investors are starting to care, it seems.
Ruin country USA so it is worth 80% less.
It’ll work this time. He just has to be even shittier about it. /s
