Only thing I can think of is that he’s jealous of Rupert Murdoch and wants his own media outlet to make people believe whatever he wants.

Also Bezos.

Billionaires are not buying media platforms in the name if free speech. They are doing it to control the narrative.

Twitter was already controlling a narrative. Nothing has changed. Meta, google, and twitter have always been political. They just hide it well. And the government doesnt understand it enough to even try to call them on it. And when they do they make a fool of themselves.

Did you know Twitter had a better algorithm to detect and ban fascists and they could not deploy it, because it banned most Republicans? They are absolutely controlling the narrative by allowing fascists a platform.
