As was the entire point. Why did the Saudis (who are so proTrump they invested $2 billion in his interests and funnelled even more money to him through their LIV Golf deal, also give Musk much of the money he used to buy Twitter? Could it be they all have the same goals?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
He tried to pump and dump twitter, then was forced to buy it. He immediately shifted to using it as a political tool to sell to local and foreign governments to interfere with public opinion and sow disinformation.
It's about time he gets called out
Xwitter and other media companies should be regulated under the FCC, not sure if they actually are.
The FCC only has a policy prohibiting news distortion, but no “law, rule, or regulation.” So, media channels have free will to lie and exaggerate news to the American citizens.
Fox News won this court battle in 2003, said it was their 2nd amendment right to lie. And it has been a literal bullshit-show in America ever since.
This was not an accident by the Supreme Court, they are actively working on removing democracy from our government ever since they intervened with the 2000 election.
They are very close.
Now prosecute him accordingly
Yeah, no kidding. Meanwhile, nearly everyone with any ability to actually do something about it seems to be standing back and standing by or just straight up giving donnie every possible assist in snaking his way back into office (against the will of most Americans and nearly all normal Americans).
