    Not really the type of conspiracy they go for, it’s being done overtly, visibly, and in a way that everyone believes it is going on. Most of the “fun” of crazy conspiracies is that you have to convince everyone that you aren’t crazy, that it’s totally happening, and your proof is real… none of that is necessary here, they are plainly stating what they are doing, no smoke, no mirrors. Just blatant criminal power grabbing.

    Because all this is happening out in the open, there’s no secret conspiracy.

    A conspiracy theorist thrives on being one of the few who know the actual truth.

      It’s specifically about being against the narrative. George Bush could come out and say he did 9/11 to destroy Hillary Clinton’s checks to Jeffrey Epstein saying “For child prostitutes/adrenochrome” and they would go on about how that’s just a psyop to make people go back into quarantine

    I mean, if President Joe Biden had brought Soros into the government as an “efficiency expert” and let him have access to federal government data, Republicans would have impeached Biden instantly. They would have set the White House on fire using the flames erupting from the heads of Fox News hosts.

    The only difference I can see here is that Musk isn’t … ohhhhhh, wait a minute. I get it. He’s not Jewish. I forgot your whole thing has to be antisemitic. My bad.

      Or… They’re only interested in conspiracy theories when those theories reinforce their own persecution complexes.

    What’s crazy is that we call them social networks without batting an eye… But don’t hold them to the same standards of a broadcast network, which would have prevented a lot of the shit show we’re in

    He has a small team installing invisible parasites that transferred directly into untraceable coins like Monero. That’s why he has a cloyd computing guy (Tom Krause) and a software engineer (Marko Elez) working closest to the system.

    It’s a heist because he’s desperate to be the world’s first trillionaire and take over everything… And he’ll do it too. Mark my words, he’ll be a trillionaire some time within four years.

          You can stop buying American products and services. As a US citizen, I think the rest of the planet needs to boycott our shit.

          I know it will hurt me and other US citizens. That’s not really the point anymore. We will get hurt anyway. One of the few ways to undermine what they’re trying to do is to hit them in the pocketbook and stop giving them money.

          So, what you can do is purchase with your conscience in knowing that supporting the US is supporting a despotic regime.

          That’s all you can really do, and considering how much of an aberrant bully the US has been, I can’t really ask for help beyond that.

              For sure, but it’s well within reach of people outside of the US without having to ask more of them. They have their own problems, and a lot of those problems they have historically have been made worse by US meddling. I don’t expect people from the rest of the world to come running to save the US, I think the world learned that lesson after 9/11 when we threw away the good will of the wider world to become Team America World Police.

              That’s why, despite it not being a strong form of protest, it’s all I feel comfortable asking of people from elsewhere in the world in stopping what is happening here.

                  Gets told a way they do something, however small, even as a non citizen

                  “nah I won’t do that.”

    Instead of echo chambering shitty journalism sites like commondreams, rawstory, new republic, etc, locations that feed you the headlines you want to hear or validate confirmation bias searching, and turning into Reddit, talk to people.

    It’s a blind faith thing. They believe. The MAGA ethos of Trump encompasses Elon Musk. It’s like Jupiter’s magnetic field extending its protection to its moons. The MAGAs are making excuses for Elon just like they do for Trump.

    The main argument: he’s not doing it for money, he’s already rich.

    When you ask why is Elon doing it then, the answers get sycophantic and delve into the straight, benevolent love of America. (I know, lol.)

    Remember, politics relies on drive by ideas that can be contained in a single, simple sentence, not essays. Essay readers are in the minority. Article readers beyond headlines are a minority. You have to have a punchy counter argument that fits a sentence as easily as the “he’s already rich, it’s love of America” or you’ll lose that debate.
