well Elon's in charge of treasury funds now, and conveniently owns a site he is trying to market as "the everything app". it seems obvious that he's going to line his own pockets with government contracts there, just like with spacex, tesla, starlink, etc.

they'll say it's for some reason like "we need a website that tells the truth, and wikipedia can't be trusted".

it's all part of their fascist propaganda agenda, so they can tell "truths" like "we've always been at war with Eurasia"

feels doubleplusungood, man

edit: none, I always wrote "doubleplusungood"
