Mr. Twitter is doing an incredible job of educating the public about how capitalists end up aligning with fascists to maintain their wealth and limit the power of the working class.

[mrdenson]

The company was worth $10 billions and he bought it for $43 billions. So, from the beginning it was a bad deal. The banks that lent him the money have no sympathy from me

[almostfamous]

Why is musk allowed to do this? Why is he not arrested for making terroristic threats? I am so sick of the double standard in this country

[snowrose]

Having forced his workers to sleep at their desks and advocating free speech for himself but not necessarily anyone else, it's no surprise that Musk would cozy up to Trump.

[CherylB-vp]

he is creepy and is as scary as the Heritage Foundation

[bandicoot]

These billionaires need to be taxed so hard it makes them irrelevant. And they will still be super rich.

[Hermitthecog]

Even the word, "broligarch" sounds as nauseating as the culture it describes. Viscerally revolting.

[jewelinvegas]

Musk isn't supporting Trump as much as he's supporting a billion dollar tax break.

[JanWyman-dvqh]

He lost it, let him pay for it all! NOT the rest of us - dont bail him or these idiots out - not with our taxes etc.

Elon Musk disgusts me. I left twitter (X) when he bought it.

[Teddibob]

It’s easy … boycott Tesla, get off X, deport Musk. Problem solved.

[georgewashington]

If X is the worst, Truth Social is a close second.

[a.p]

My golden rule is not to touch any brand associated with Elon Musk

[TheArozconpollo]

Musk is another billionaire trying to gain the power to game the system in their favor not yours. Vote 💙!

[ValerieKnott-qg]

These out of touch with reality billionaires SHOULD NOT be directing misinformation to steer politics.

[Other.]

Two failures hand-in-hand pretending they're successful. It's so nice that corporate media is finally covering what the rest of us have known for ages.

[charlieb]

Only a narcissist would buy his own platform so he can hear himself speak. He and Trump are a perfect pair. What a waste of a once considered smart man.

[EulerLowrent]

I have never used Twitter in my life, and I never will. One of the best decisions I've ever made.

[ilonadankov]

Lost respect for him like many others.

[GoldenFlowerAbbey]

Anyone who buys into Trump's and Elon's crypto scheme deserves to lose their money
