       @noondlyt @dell Billionaires are all about money, not personal values. They'll switch on a dime and betray their friends without a second thought.It's why they have no true friends, only rich associates pretending that they're close.

       @the_Effekt @noondlyt @dell All Trump needs to do is tweet. Musk would kick DeSantis to the curb.

       @the_Effekt @noondlyt @dell I do. This isn't politics. This is Narcissist Dating. Musk invited Trump back to Twitter, and Trump turned him down. Musk is now showing off his new date, DeSantis. Flaunting DeSantis. But he really would rather have Trump. Trump has more loyal followers and more loyal haters, all of which is good for Musk. Engagement is down, and he can't shadow ban Bluesky. DeSantis has a need to be promoted and protected by Musk, and the only thing he can offer in return is a promise for a payout for Musk IF he wins the WH. He can't do anything for Musk right now. Trump can offer his Twitter followers now. All the pandering pundits and journalists will line up to cover every single outrageous tweet. Bluesky? DOA. All Trump has to do is tweet. Musk will dump DeSantis.

       @the_Effekt @noondlyt @dell A tweet a day insulting DeSantis is all Trump needs to do. DeSantis doesn't have a cult to take on Trump. He would need Musk to go toe to toe with Trump or ban Trump outright. Which would be pretty damn fun to watch.

       @dell NYT does a terrible job on the 20% of their reporting that is largely on nonsense political framings that influences 80% of the rest of the media and does a good job on 80% of their reporting that have 20% of the attention and influence.

       @dell They are pretty good though they have some like Roose who have been far too credulous and been sucked into various nonsense stories.

       @franktaber i can’t read articles by people who start by pretending to be clueless, like they’re discovering facts alongside the reader. it’s just a labor to get through.

       @dell Fascist thug Desantis going on #fascist haven Twitter smacks of desperation, really.  And, Twitter hosting the thug shows Musk's desperation too.  But they're both far-right weirdos.
