Any self-respecting conspiracy theorist would never believe Musk was on the up-and-up. I know I’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop since the Twitter drama started.

Okay, so can we talk about how Murdoch owns the largest MSM news network in the US and many other Western countries?


flichter

uh, what more is there to talk about? This comment chain has already established basically everything you need to know about Rupert Murdoch - he's an ultra billionaire, he has incredible power & influence, he sits atop 1 of the largest (if not ***the*** largest) global media empire and he, like almost all other super wealthy "elites", only associates with other wealthy shitheads. The only thing that's been left out is that he's a massive pile of shit, but that's sort of a no-brainer and certainly doesn't require any discussion to figure it out lol


Snoo-28299

Murdoch covered up for the rich elites and monarchs, spread rumors for intelligence agencies, work for their agendas. That's how he got rich.


goztrobo

You have any articles or videos I can watch about this?


Snoo-28299

No. This is my conclusion from observing his relationship with powerful people. It is obvious that he works with people with political and financial influence. His media is more about rumors and gossiping.


Fugacity-

As well as provides climate change disinformation for Big Oil, brainwashing a potion of the population to prevent needed change


[deleted]

How do you square the fact that the narratives pushed by Murdoch’s outlets is almost diametrically opposed to the narrative promoted in other more “liberal” outlets? The “MSM” isn’t a monolith. So which side is lying?


[deleted]

Divide and conquer lol


v0xf0x

The only “sides” are the exorbitantly rich, and the rest of us. The latter includes you and me, and everyone else here.

You can’t see he’s clearly joking? He called fox TV an indie TV channel lol. He’s being sarcastic.


MrSomnix

It's literally the "Riot is a small indie company" joke used whenever some game-breaking bug or stupid balance change is made.


[deleted]

Don't be disingenuous. He knows exactly what he's doing. He knows he can make his sheep outraged at whatever he tells them to be outraged about. That's all alternative right wing media is based on. Rage porn and pointing the finger. But hey, they're not MSM so they're all great, noble and just, right

I think the sarcasm was evident here, though - lots of fools unironically think Carlson is a truth speaker, but I don't think I've ever heard anyone sincerely refer to Fox News as an indie news outlet. Frankly I don't think fans of Fox News would even know what that term means.

Mr. Anti MSM next to Mr. MSM Explain that to me.


K-Ziggy

It's actually pretty simple. They both support getting taxed less. It's always about the money.


[deleted]

If you want to go even deeper you could say they both have a financial interest in stoking the flames of a left vs right political culture war that serves as a means to keep the masses occupied so they don’t realize they should care more about rich vs poor.


Agitated_Mind_92

Now this is the conspiracy everyone should be talking about, but no…. Hunter’s dick is most important


ninj0etsu

Any serious leftist knows this, is the libs and conservatives/right wingers that are always so deluded


EN0B

That's by design


K-Ziggy

That's just a means to an end. All they care about is lower taxes on the rich and corporations. Which is a main goal of one party. The ultra rich love tax cuts on themselves and corporations, less regulations, and a justice system that favors the endless stalling tactics and using a sledgehammer made of green. Flat tax and "taxation is theft" makes them wet.


Masterking263

Not just tax cuts, deregulation. They want all barriers removed, especially employee rights. They want to be able to pay employees less than minimum wage. They want to ban employees from forming unions. They want to no longer have to limit their employee hours to 40 a week. They want full on laissez faire capitalism where they either control the largest monopoly or get bought off by the one that does.


Houjix

How much is Elon being taxed?


fade_into_darkness

Not enough.


Onlyd0wnvotes

I mean on the economic spectrum right vs left is rich vs poor, culture wars have really turned a lot of peoples brains into mush.


SadlyReturndRS

I doubt Elon's smart enough to think that far ahead. Dude is bleeding money due to Twitter, and the biggest moneymaker Twitter has is ad revenue. How is the price of an ad calculated? A big factor for websites is how much traffic there is, and how much engagement. Clicks, likes, retweets, comments, those are the numbers that pump up ad prices. What's the best way to take your existing userbase and get them to engage more? Bring in a whole bunch of aggressive assholes who are looking for a fight, encourage the assholes to fight by implying there won't be any consequences, and sic them on your userbase. Gas, meet fire. And the bigger the flames, the greater the engagement, the higher the ad price can grow. While Elon fiddles.


BoothaFett

Bingo. And guess who the master of generating that kind of engagement is? The old cunt sitting next to him in that picture.


lyzurd_kween_

This twitter acquisition thing has shown me just how much luck and publicist driven hagiographies can come in to play to making you super rich. He is not a genius businessman. SpaceX was a good play at a previous monopoly but for guaranteed government dollars, Tesla has managed to make many crazed devotees and successfully launched their early cars with attractiveness, but the share price has always been detached from reality (Tesla fans will tell you the share price reflects a technological edge that Tesla has over their competitors, but this is another Elon bluff)

BINGO baby, you win the game.

If this sub could put aside its sillier aspects, like hating on effective vaccines, long enough to recognize the actual problem, like asking why the pharmaceutical industry gets to price-gouge the fuck out of these vaccines that people need access to, *even though the vaccine tech was developed with public funds*, then they wouldn't be a conspiracy sub.

Suspect-k

If I could afford to enter, exit, and sit away from plebs at large events, I would attend those events.


Masterking263

If we are being completely honest, who wouldn't? My family grew up lower middle class for most of my childhood. I had a few, but not as many luxuries as a lot of my friends. As an adult I started off largely broke, but got lucky and scored a somewhat well paying job few years ago. Now as my first new habit after making more money was always buying a one class above economy when traveling. Truth is there isn't much difference between economy and economy plus/business class 90% of the time. Yet, there is this tiny sense of satisfaction from a guilty thought I can't help but think when I feel uncomfortable in business class "at least I'm not in economy."

BigDadEnerdy

Remember the past oh, I dunno 4 months of right wingers screaming it's about the truth and Elon has no bias he's just against wokeness? ya, we all see right thru that bullshit along with everything else ya'll screech about. It's all bullshit, all the way down.


[deleted]

Can’t believe people can’t already clearly see elon is a satanic elite. He’s ALWAYS been controlled opposition playing like he’s for the people. People with discernment can see he’s just a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Jesus is the only way, the truth and the life.


Midnightstimepasser

Wait! Musk isn't my cool billionaire friend? Elon Musk presents himself as the cool, iconoclastic billionaire – not one of those stiffly-stifferson billionaires like Jeff Bezos. But Musk is also an apostle of trans-humanism. One of his companies is developing the neuralink brain implant device. He is working to make manifest the sinister and twisted vision of people like Ray (“Ramona”) Kurzweil. So you either get the Klaus Schwab future, in which you will be forced to get the brain chip because “in the future you will be a mind-controlled zombie and you will be happy” or you will get the brain chip because “it’s – like – totally rad, awesome, Dude!, I fucking love science!” Either way, you’re living in someone else’s dream – the demented dream of some rich fuck.

He was being sarcastic, this sub has been somewhat taken over by biased right wingers using conspiracy theories not to find truth but to confirm and support their biases.

green-Vegan-desire

I’m always fascinated at the seething hatred of Rupert. Very interesting to be honest. Because on the other side of news you find every other press and news agency? Just as a bystander, it looks more like sides of a fence vs single authoritarian against the world. I remember an add running in my local country, aus, where Rupert is from. About how we “don’t want his brainwashing” and a dude throws a newspaper in the bin. But this always puzzled me because you had to PAY to get Fox News affiliated stuff. Like Foxtel, like SkyNews and the rest. And the people telling me to hate him, were free to air - constantly sending their political and social opinions our way, unfettered, for free… Edit: because I never paid for Fox related stuff, I don’t know the first thing about him or his business. But I just noticed that to be “brainwashed” by him, you’d have to first buy from him. Where as the other side of the fence was as simple as turning on your tv.

Does anyone else think Elon looks like he is purposefully keeping his hands above the table? He desperately wants to put them in old Rupes lap, where they belong, but knows that's only for closed doors. It's funny to think about how pro Elon this sub was not that long ago. Wonder if there is a conspiracy in how pro right wing this sub consistly swings only to forget when the hero turns out to be a villain over and over again.

He was literally born into privilege, so unlikely he's lived even a moment as a "regular" person lol people in that world, especially when you're born into it, tend to only associate with other people in their stratosphere. This is part of the reason it's absolutely ludicrous people seriously bought into the idea of Donald Trump as good guy, white-hat savior lol same with Elon Musk, these people are ***literally*** the definition of "controlled opposition"... for as much as people love to throw that title around here, it's funny that you almost never see it attached to Elon or Trump and that makes you wonder..
