I wonder how much Trump/Musk social media strategy is informed by Russia successes (& otherwise) in the information war

Hard to see Musk (and X) these days as anything other than MAGA’s chief information warrior

The saddest thing about watching Musk’s self-radicalisation, that Harris touches on here, is the opportunity cost. The soon-to-be worlds first trillionaire is almost certainly going to put those resources towards some abject nonsense

Can’t get it all right
