      They make Musk look like a Boy Scout. Musk is just looking for his own self-aggrandizement. The Ellisons want to take over the world.

      They have already gutted the CBS News division, once considered the Gold Standard of broadcast news, firing dozens of people this week. They can reconfigure the news division quickly, since it is on a 24 hour cycle, but general programming will take longer.

      Over the next few months, you can expect them to cancel any shows they think is Woke (Colbert is already a casualty), and will be greenlighting shows with a right-wing direction. It will take a while to get shows into production, so we’ll probably see the first rollout in the Fall.

      Expect the suspects in their new Copaganda shows to be immigrants and minorities, and the victims to be all lovely wealthy white people.

          The rich may have material investment in bigotry, but don’t discount that they also develop emotional investment in it as well. Even if Vivian Wilson were her father’s sole heir and fully on board with continuing his financial and business empire, none of these right wing billionaires would ever tolerate their child marrying her.

          It’s the same reason Frederick the Great of Prussia had a childhood boyfriend killed by his father.
