This DW is a left leaning news media channel! Always doubting, saying that Elon is corrupted before he has done anything yet!😂

TRANSHUMANISM will come in unopposed unquestioned

As evident from past events, for example, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, the USA, and the CIA have had a parochial view, not bothering what the consequences in the long run could be.

Hopefully, this is going to be changed for better international affairs.

Like with the oligarchs in Putins Russia.., bye bye (already limited) democracy in the USA…..

Elon Musk is the best billionaire 😁

@globedrifter5245 March 19, 2025 - 8:01 pm

Sadly, this is not journalism. You’re not delivering news but a biased one-point of view, left. This is exactly why Musk bought Twitter, because it was dominated with left point of view. Ironically, I’m left-leaning until recently, when extremist left-dominated media like this took over. This guy needs to take accountability for his life and not blame everything on bad billionaires

@templar31314 March 19, 2025 - 8:01 pm

nobody can resist Trump. Trump is the most influential President ever!

"The beginning of the Oligarchy"? Dare she say?

@Gpenguin01 March 19, 2025 - 8:01 pm

Trump’s first cabinet was also filled with billionaires. Tech billionaires are not the problem Billionaires are the problem. Billionaires and multinational corporations have been controlling American politics for decades.

Taco Bell will win the franchise wars Demolition Man said so.

I don't really like the term oligarchy due to it seaming so subjective. Everybody just trows the word around casually. Why not at least try connecting it to the corruption index or using other objective (and perhaps partly subjective) measurements in how political influence is divided among the population, depending on a multitude of different factors.

Pull out of NATO unless everyone in Europe eats McDonalds at least once a day

@PastaEngineer March 19, 2025 - 8:01 pm

Pull out of Nato for regulating business? oh god what
Also isnt the whole point of pushing for the 2% spending because America wants more ppl to spend money its weapon systems? I imagine cutting into the armies profits will have more consequences than cutting into twitters profits.

@avikalmann592 March 19, 2025 - 8:01 pm

All this talk of oligarchy now… seems every other billionaire in Europe and US (and world)is just part of democracy

@bogdar2019 March 19, 2025 - 8:01 pm

well, well, but you did not speak out about the tech dictatorship under Biden. Then it was alright to censor and to cancel but now you are sounding the allarm.
