The Twitter Trap

Sometimes the news is boring. The most prominent example is Elon Musk buying Twitter. With the remote possibility that we are in the early stages of World War 3, I don’t know how anyone can summon any fear, anger, hope, or any other genuine emotion about such a purchase. That said there must be something alluring to snatch the attention of so many people, and I have a theory as to what that lure is. Of course, we will never know what the exact varsity this theory holds but I bet a kidney (not mine ) that it's at least truth adjacent.

So let's get into it

Elom buys Twitter for $44 billion (not all his own money). Now 44 billion is a lot of money even with all the inflation. What makes Twitter worth 44 billion?

Perhaps it's award-winning reputation? No! Pretty much everyone hates Twitter. Most people don't even use Twitter. Those that do are either bots or do their best to act like bots.

Maybe it's the Staff? Twitter must have the exact type of Employees and work culture Lord Elon is looking for. No! He pretty much fired everyone. I think there is one guy left who ensures there is good Feng Shui in the bathrooms. Other than him they're all booted.

Then it must be the exclusive service Twitter offers? Doubt it! Twitter is a microblogging company. Nothing too complicated about it. I'm sure they are stealing data and mentally manipulating the general population through algorithms. But compared to Google, Facebook, Amazon, Tik Tok WeChat Twitter seems inconsequential Not enough people use Twitter. Those that don't seem focused enough to sell advertising space to. People just scroll to the next thing absorbing nothing of the last.

So then why would anyone albeit a person who is good enough with money to achieve the distinction of being the world's richest man spend so much on a stinker of a company? A company that he pretty much leveled to the ground weeks after buying it? To answer this let's look at who Elon is.

If you believe the mythology, Elon is running the most sophisticated car company the world has ever known, while simultaneously running what amounts to this generation's version of NASA. In his spare time, he drills tunnels under streets and shills flamethrowers. This is all after co-creating the genesis of online fiat money exchange. Oh and he Tweets a lot because he is bored or something. Yeah, I call bullshit. I'm not saying his wig isn’t keeping some genius ideas cozy but this seems a little much. He likely has an important role in all of these companies but many others are contributing to his empire. This means we don’t know what Elon is actually doing. Maybe he's just selling innovative ideas. He could just be the Kim Kardashian of Tech. Conversely, Kim Kardashian may be the Elon Musk of reality television.

What we can say is Elon at the very least has been contaminated by the state. All his companies deal directly with government agencies. At this point, there is no reason to view him in any other way than as a state actor. Maybe you are cool with that, but if you would not trust a social media site headed by a Whitehouse cabinet (or a former president) why would you trust someone that is just as embedded in the state? In many ways, Elon is way more connected than a mere white house cabinet member. Those minions only have connections to one or two politicians. Does anyone doubt that if Elon wanted a private chat with any President since Obama or any other high-ranking politician of a similar period he could easily conjure one? We don’t know who he talked to or what they talked about but it's safe to bet he had some conversation with someone. I put a kidney on it.

This is all to say there is obvious fuckery going on with this deal.

Now, let's zoom out to the cultural context this is happening in.

If you haven't noticed the last few years have been weird. Everyday life took on the aesthetic of an experimental film directed by some pretentious undergrad who read too many Kaffa novels. But beyond the weird ambiance of being perpetually surrounded by people straining to comminate under decorative medical masks what made this time truly disorientated was the lies. So many people lied to us when so many of us knew they were lying. And yet they continued to lie never acknowledging that as time passed fewer and fewer people were believing what they were saying. It is one thing if someone is saying something that I do not believe, but it is quite another when someone is saying something that I don't believe they believe.

We were told a completely experimental gene therapy with absolutely no longitudinal studies about it was safe. How did they know? Science, you won't understand it, you superstitious peasant. Now we are doing studies to see if there is any relation between all this cardio malfunction the young people are having lately and the genetically modified fruits of operation warp speed.

As well as being safe we were also told it was effective. At first, this meant it was effective at stopping the transition of Covid. Then it got downgraded to be effective at making Covid a tiny bit better if you got it. Maybe the last time you got covid would have killed you had you not rolled up your sleeve and taken one for the team. I'm sure they are right about this one. I’d bet a kidney if I had any left.

Now just to be upfront with anyone reading I am wearing my tin foil thinking cap as I write this. I don't wear it every day but I'm not conspiracy adverse as so many people sadly are these days. So getting back to my yarn, I think if our generous lizard people overlords got what they truly wanted we would still be masked up alone in our socially distant cell.

I don't think any of the so-called preventive measures that were dictated to us during all of this was based on any desire to keep us safe. Within a few weeks of Covid hitting, anyone who wanted to know could know that Covid killed primarily the old. Yet no measures were taken to make nursing homes safer. Meanwhile, people who were at little risk of Covid were robbed of their lives for two years. During all of this, no talk of Vit D levels was mentioned. Any talk of proactive solutions people could take on their own was censored.

Anyone unfortunate enough to listen to mainstream news about this was put into a state of trauma and bombarded with obvious misinformation. Of course, people in a perpetual state of trauma, with their consciousness retreating into their reptile brains were susceptible to the propaganda. One cannot be in a state of fear and rational thought at the same time.

The only reason why any of this ended is that enough people stood up to this medically fashioned tyranny. At first, the Powers that be conceded that Covid leaking out of the Covid lab wasn’t such a loony idea. Jon Steward had to come out of hibernation to lets us know we could now entertain such a theory. Eventually, masks become fewer, people felt comfortable being closer. Talks of medical-mandated procedures became more remote. In short, we won some freedom back. And we one it back peacefully. No buildings were blown up. No soldiers squared off against each other. People simply earned their freedom by being free.

So getting us back to Twitter and its Chief Twit, what is the real reason Elon bought Twitter? I think our modern-day pharaohs realize their loss and are not too happy about it. This spark of freedom represents an existential threat to those that desire to control us. They need to stomp that spark out before it catches any more tinder.

Elon buying Twitter is part of this stomp. Why not entice anyone who is breaking away from the matrix to enter the Twitter trap? It's now a free speech platform as if there weren't an infinite amount of ways to route around the limpest wrist that ever rooted an iron fist. Yes, there is some of that free-speech candy in the back of the oven. Don't worry I'll stand behind you and make sure no one (besides me) will shut the door behind you.

So many freedom-oriented people will jump in. And maybe it will be a free speech site. Maybe you will get to post lifesaving medical misinformation. Maybe you will get to point out that the president is for all practical purposes a zombie. Maybe you will get to criticize the next war which looks like it will be a doozy. Maybe, but know what no one is going to do on Twitter. No one is going to learn who their neighbors are. No one is going to organize an underground farmer market. No one going to learn skills that make them more self-sufficient. No one going to learn how to better communicate. In short no one going to do the things that supported us as we fought for freedom
