It's not illegal in the broke an actual government law sense, but it certainly violates every moral principle I've ever heard of. Instead of being generous and grateful for his wealth, the richest man has decided to buy the largest place where news is shared on the internet, fired almost all the employees primarily out of spite, and pirated the network for the sake of turning it into a propaganda platform for an attempted dictator who will make him even richer.

This is what cancel culture is made for. Not some comedian misspeaking. This.
