Over the past 15 years #BigTech #SiliconValley plutocrats have metaphorically "captured ALL the radio stations" on earth – and will never give them up.

e.g. #Elmo purchased #Twitter to wield it as a #TechnoFascist propaganda comms weapon – not to fix it or make it better.

Economic Value of Twitter = Harvested #PersonalData archive (16 yr #DataSet).
Nothing else matters to #Elmo.

Once he & his Trillionarire partner buy up all outstanding #Twitter debt (that nervous bankers are discounting right now)?
It's "game over man". Biden ponied up sovereign immunity last month.

#Twitter was dead on day the deal closed. #Elmo & PayPal Mafia are having a LULZ-fest as they wield twitter like a #TechnoFascist ray gun disrupting #democracy.

#Elmo now #TechnoFascist Iron Man with his rocket fist squeezing Jell-O cubes.

Right, but I mean right now / today.

Who has access to the 16 yr old #Twitter user #PersonalData trove? (priceless to all global dictators, autocrats, despots and like minded #SiliconValley #TechnoFascist #VC-crypto-Bros).

A service offering with ability to mine that particular #DataSet, with advanced #AI #ML data science and Social Networking Analytics (SNA) techniques, would make NSO Group look like a bunch of Boy Scouts.

No shortage of investors who desperately want in on the action of wielding #Twitter as an intel weapon – even if the ROI sucks.

Archive of users #PersonalData (keystrokes, links, pics, vids, locations, social & political affiliations) that EV/Jack/Biz harvested over 16 years (and is easily mined for insights on populations using advanced #AI #ML#SNA) makes that Twitter asset nearly priceless to #TechnoFascist autocrats & plutocrats.

– and he'll find 'em.

1) obviousness of #Elmo wrecking ball is epic:
• he didn't buy it to fix it
• he bought it to wield it
and there's TONS of #TechnoFascist investors wanting in on that "action", even if ROI is shitty.

2) arguably, ONLY asset w/any economic value = trove of #PersonalData Ev/Jack/Biz spent 16 yrs harvesting into ONE PILE Elmo + MB-S now privately own.
