I can't think of a better way to ask musk for a hundred mill than to have bluesky and twitter users plaster it all over the social networks.....we should not be giving either of these two fascists any airtime.
Thankfully this is only a very remote possibility, because our media is much better regulated than the free market monetized disinformation fest in the US.
MSM need to take responsibility and pick a side. BBC need to stop asking people to contact them via Twitter. The Times needs to call it out.
And much, much more or we face the death of our democracy.
… I also believe we have reached the point where BBC (yes you @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social ) need to stop their incessant reference to the opinions of the foreign-owned press, who any decent journalist would recognise as having an agenda.
You know what? Maybe it’s just wishful thinking on my side but, I think musk has reached his peak. I can see a big fall coming. Hopefully it’ll be sooner rather than later.
EU needs to do what Brazil did, then we need to follow suite. We can’t have a bull 💩 factory imitating ‘media’ without the checks and balances of Ofcom (who have Ltd scope of control anyway; see GBeebies) regulating that bull 💩.
Would it be possible to have rules in place so he cant just buy himself power like they do in the US? I mean I know theres campaign finance rules - maybe we should tighten those up? Into the digital realm for a start
It won't be direct, it will happen through a series of shell companies like the Russians, Israelis and Saudis already did to buy our other political parties
Political reform (no pun intended) including political party funding has been needed for a long time
But in the meantime everyone who is worried about this can do something right now, get active in politics. Not petitions, marches or social media. Actual things that win elections.
Let's not forget the huge amounts of money pumped into getting Fagash/reform where he is already. GB news costing them 40+million a year !!
Elmo's 100m would be just enough to fund the propaganda channel for 2 1/2 years. Expensive game buying elections.

I fear Musk is intent on ruling the world.
And much, much more or we face the death of our democracy.
Two big egos can't mix forever
Those against them vastly outnumber them, but get stuck in in-fighting.
We HAVE to stand together.
Although I'm sure they'll be loopholes that will be used, so definitely a worry.
