    Nope, everything you post is copyright of you.
    That's why Youtubers can give copyright strikes to people who repost their shit.
    That's why commenters have to edit shit they comment on with microscope and tweezer perfection to slide under fair use.

    I am pretty sure Elon made a public show of his vision of Twitter since he bought it.

    Fuck's sake, guy is Saudi. He's an anti-Islamist but if he thinks the AfD are going to distinguish him from the other Middle Easterners they don't like, he really must be on drugs.

    Especially since he's pro-Israel, I doubt that plays well with the AfD either.

    If anything, he's just given them a useful "look- see!" character to demonise furriners with.

    Or Warren Buffet or Bill Gates or other billionaires that liberals do like. Funny how there are no threads about them. Methinks it's selective outrage.

    Zuckerberg at least built one. Which social networks do Bill Gates and Warren Buffet control?

    Pretty sure Gates was out of MS when they bought LinkedIn, and he certainly is now. Does Buffet control it?

    My bad. Wasn't sure how much of Microsoft he still controls.

    As of a few years ago, 1.3% ownership (not counting the Gates Foundation), but he hasn’t been employed there or on the board for ages. Reportedly, Satya runs big AI-related decisions by him but I’d be unsurprised if he’s never done anything at all with LinkedIn.

    Oh I wasn't aware we were playing the purposely obtuse game.

    How is he being obtuse? Zuckerberg did build and owns Facebook; Gates looks to be merely indirectly connected to Linkedin, and Buffet doesn't control any social media company that I know of.
