We could be witnessing another attack on democracy from another narcissistic, delusional billionaire with extremely suspicious links to a foreign government.
"Musk is apparently a big believer in transparency, as witnessed by his recent “Twitter Files” dump. So let’s start asking him for some transparency"
Musk's belief in transparency and free speech is like any Republican's belief in "freedom": They believe in it for themselves, are completely opposed to it for others.
At this point, the idea of kompromat affecting a majority of voters seems quaint. Short of an HD video showing one of them defecating on the American flag or abusing a child, it’s hard to imagine anything bad enough to make an impact on Trump’s or Musk’s popularity. Trump has known this for a while and Musk is starting to realize it for himself. A “piss tape” or anything of that ilk wouldn’t matter to their supporters. If they’re doing Putin’s bidding at this point, it’s about Putin holding out positive incentives rather than kompromat, imho. The lesson of the 2016 and 2024 elections is that a lot of voters simply don’t care if Trump is morally reprehensible, and the same almost certainly applies to Musk.

Where’s the scoundrel Matt Taibi now?
