I'm not on twitter and never was, but I'm not silly enough to think billionaires don't shape my world in a million fucking ways with their unilateral decisions. Elon here has a HUGE one recently in deciding to disable starlink during a Ukraine offensive.

Trying to assist his rich buddies with fucking with the union is a lower tier crime but still its fuckery that affects a lot of people.

Then we've got other rich asshats selling state secrets for money.

Billionaires are a liability and everyone needs to realize it.

The "I don't use Twitter so that's a you problem" is a thought terminating cliche.
