A few days after Musk purchased Twitter I was already thinking he'd run it into the ground. The problem with that being that Twitter is such an important part of the imperialist propaganda, reality invention, and regime change machine. The last two weeks have been even worse for the platform than I imagined. So how long will it be until the Broadcasting Board of Governors or similarly placed institution swoops in to take over management or even ownership of Twitter?

Musk buying Twitter exposed that the platform played a central role in the propaganda machine that US built.

Politics and journalists should never have used twitter as much as they did... It was always weird to me how journalists perceived twitter as some kind of public square.
