        I don’t think it was that personal. I think he only wanted to get rid of a massively popular leftist space.

            Is it? He wasn’t hiding his intentions. Even some of his private messages with Jack Dorsey alluded to the platform being overrun by the left.

        He bought twitter to punish his trans daughter for being trans because he thought twitter radicalized her.

        He is a little shit, but come on purchasing Twitter was textbook fascism media control. Far more than just petty reputation protection. This was a major power grab.

          Yea, but idiots feel better when they think the people dismantling society are all secretly miserable and are only doing the things they do because they have hurt feelings, rather than being a part of a coordinated effort to consolidate of power into the hands of the wealthy and getting everything they ever wanted.

        He likes to pretend he’s not a fragile little bitch, but his need to be adored is so transparent

      He cares what people think in general. His need for validation is more voracious than his need for ketamine. Grimes could twist this knife and make him cry.
