Manufactured Drama

Elon Musk needn’t poke the bear (Apple). Just because he singlehandedly bought a public speech platform for $44 billion doesn’t mean he gets to say and do whatever he wants. He has too many playthings.

Why is the business world often portrayed as a cutthroat, take-no-prisoners entity? Companies emerge and grow because they’re managed well and offer products consumers actually use and… love? And they almost inevitably become prey, or targets. Why would someone want to mess with such a winning formula? Musk and others apparently don’t care about this because their motives are selfish, merely about some degree of financial gain, winning and losing and big egos and pushing their own agenda.

All this talk about free speech being at issue is a cover for wanting to go after a company they can’t stand, that espouses a different philosophy, differing opinions from what Ron DeSantis and Musk himself apparently believe. All this concern over free speech is a smokescreen, a “false flag operation,” as Fox News is so fond of putting it.

Add this pursuit to the list of time-wasting items the Republicans are cueing up.
