Elon Musk using his billions to buy a social media site, take control of the algorithm, turn it into a massive disinformation system, use that leverage to jockey for a cabinet position that can make him even more billions shouldn't be something that we tolerate.
But it's OK when its Zuckerberg and Meta, lol. Or how about Google giving all the assistance they can possibly give to Kamala and she still lost because they weren't jockeying for a better position when the anti-trust calls come.
Can you cite what this assistance was? Did Zuckerberg constantly post and amplify things beneficial to her? Did he share the stage with her repeatedly? Did he pay millions of dollars to people registering to vote for her?
