this is a member only article so people are going to mention the (pay) wall
this is about a tweet from 2020
what does expressing overthrowing a country in 2020 have to do with c/technology?

this is about a ~~tweet~~ coup attempt from ~~2020~~ 2024.

There was just another coup attempt recently. If you think that these coups are planned in a few weeks, that's not how it works.

what does expressing overthrowing a country in 2020 have to do with c/technology?

Elon and pals want to coup Bolivia to steal their lithium for use in "technology".

Do I really need to explain this stuff?

The latest coup attempt really sounds like a publicity stunt.

No one died or got injured.

They took over the old presidential palace, rather than the new one the president was actually at.

The general leading it said Morales told him to do it.

Not saying it couldn't be real, but if they definitely made a lot of the same choices they would have if they were faking it.

I couldn't read any further, so thanks for more context. I would really love it if we'd share more open articles here so there is the full context to digest and discuss
