Thank you for being on the job for democracy. MSW. We each must keep an eye out for Musk, Trump & Thiel corruption in this election!

I had a tangential thought in this. I’ve read but not confirmed that everyone who signs up for Twitter is automatically set to follow Elon Musks account. If this is true, it seems,s to me to be a form of digital information insider trading. The analogy is far from perfect but I think it has some merit. He has a captive audience for his misinformation such as the deep fake video of VP Harris saying she’s a DEI hire and the more recent post since taken down that falsely claimed the UK was imprisoning rioters in the Falklands. In addition to forced access to his views, I assume there’s ad revenue that comes from it. I’m not sure this meets a legal test for financial fraud but at the very least, it’s shady.
