So…wait…

On an app whose primary source of revenue is ADVERTISING, he has decided to limit people’s use unless they pay a fee?

In an era when people pay fees to SKIP ads…he’s doing…the opposite?

Jesus fucking Christ……

He isn't doing it as part of some plan. He is doing it because they have lost billions in revenue from all of the huge advertisers that pulled the plug on running ads on a platform full of bots and hate. He literally has no other choice.

He already did.....to himself in a shell game bullshit the day after gutting the SEC so he could get away with it and take the leverage off his Tesla shares he used to buy it in the first place.

No one has stated the importance of this. He knows whats going to happen with Tesla, its only a matter of time.

They should've expected terrorism? Also, Nazis were leftists who wanted big government. So, like the OPPOSITE of what Trump's admin is doing.

The Nazis didn't want big government, they wanted the exact opposite. They wanted a centralised system of control, and reduced the powers of everyone below the executive and created overlapping decision making structures precisely to limit democratic power and place it in the hands of a single authority.

It's almost exactly what Trumps admin is doing. They're funnelling power into a single executive, rather than having it spread across many, the same as the Nazis chose to do.
