He's just jealous of Musk. He wants to be Trump's buddy more than anything.

Don't worry JD, this will sort itself out thanks to Zuckerberg and Musk driving people to alternative platforms.
These authoritarian populist tactics, after those people who voted for them (or will be able to vote) will say like "and you said that this person is bad!"
They use the same tactic in Russia regularly. When politicians destroyed life of millions of people, after some time one poitician in Duma will say the right thing or propose a law for popular social issue, like "we're against domestic violence" (domestic violence is common in this shithole), or on "elections" they will offer sausage or money for a vote to population.
I don't know what they are trying to achieve by that, but maybe that people will restore trust in them, and will continue to believe that "BS-democracy". And after that these politicians who support dictatorship will continue to launder resources from the country. But in Russia they do that because they need people to participate in pseudo-elections, that will legitimize their fascist regime.
Who would ever give a shit what these clowns think? How is this news?
Oh right we're violently controlled by these wackos...
That interview was interesting
She kept trying to get him to fall into traps or get angry but he was calm and respectful the entire time. This man is someone who can talk.
He lies and twists facts constantly. Plus he’s annoying as hell, for whatever that’s worth.

But his entire political career was purchased by big tech! Is he a malfunctioning robot or something?
In other words, he’s suggesting his pockets need a little more lining.
Especially couchdb. Couchdb needs to get back in the kitchen where she belongs.

"the big tech that we do not directly control has too much power". FFY
wow, really?!
Can't be
I say that the executive branch has not been given the power to create laws or judge whether or not they are legal... but that seems to be what his administration has unilaterally decided is true now.
The laws are on the books. They should be implemented in good faith by the executive branch. This is not being done.
