This was the plan all along. Musk spends his handler's money to buy Twitter, and he makes it unpalatable to the liberal users by fucking it up. Then he removes the ability to block users, reinstates Donald Trump, and then Trump and his followers use it as a platform to build momentum for his reelection. This is important enough to Trump's handlers to be worth 44 billion dollars.
Musk went along because they have dirt on him. Life-ruining dirt. The entire GOP is kept in line by the people in the shadows collecting and manufacturing dirt on everyone. It's like having an entire oligarchy of Kingpins, except it's totally real.
They suck in and trap pedophiles, rapists, embezzlers, hackers, deeply closeted homosexuals, and anyone they can lure into commiting a crime while their cameras roll. (Or what their constituents see as abhorrent behavior).
Some of the GOP relish in it, and some hate it but are trapped. It's a mixed bag, but they all serve the people in the shadows trying to take control of the US.
If anyone gets caught doing one of these crimes, it gets swept under the rug or they simply get thrown to the wolves while publicly disavowing the person.
It's exactly as evil as what Putin does except a lot less obvious to the public who is doing it. However, everyone with any tenure in the GOP knows exactly what's up and who's in charge. It's half cult and half trapped losers.
That's an interesting conspiracy theory but I think I'll stick with "they're power-hungry idiots"
You think the other arm of the US capitalist party doesn't do exactly the same?
While I don't necessarily disagree, who do you think is in the shadows? I've always said that Reagan being an actor with Alzheimer was a pro, not a con, to the GOP, but I've never subscribed to shadow order conspiracies. Do we have proof that there are puppet master and whom they might be?
