Monica Showalter has it at American Thinker: Has Elon Musk stumbled into some scandalous truths about Twitter?
Other’s have hinted at this aspect, but Showalter—following Sundance—goes deep. My one reservation is that Musk himself has benefited mightily from federal money, as I understand the situation. Still, subsidies for cars are one thing and subsidies for censoring the information flow to the subject population is quite another thing.
Go read Showalter’s article. Here are a few excerpts to show you why you need to read it:
What Musk seems to have stumbled upon is the argument that Twitter's servers may well be owned by various governments, maybe the Saudis, but almost certainly the U.S. government.
This analysis by Sundance at Conservative Treehouse, who knows tech, points to the oddities:
...
Twitter is not a platform built around a website; ... As a consequence, the technology and data processing required to operate the platform does not have an economy of scale.
There is no business model where Twitter is financially viable to operate…. UNLESS the tech architecture under the platform was subsidized.
In my opinion, there is only one technological system and entity that could possibly underwrite the cost of Twitter to operate. That entity is the United States Government, and here’s why.
Sundance cites the monster data usage the system requires, with no economy of scale -- each new user adds costs, which Twitter seems impervious to. As its user base stagnates, it still makes money, because it avoids those costs. Musk noted the oddity of huge accounts with millions of followers who rarely tweet, asking if the website was "dead," which was a reasonable question, given the previous understanding of Twitter as an entity that makes money based on users to advertise to. This dynamic involving the federal government certainly would explain the absence of rivals to the company -- and perhaps the difficulties that Truth Social has had in scaling its operations. (I just got onto Truth Social this week after a long stretch on the 'waiting list.')

The other thing he may expose is scarier:
Twitter shut down the president of the United States, which if it's controlled by the government, while the elites take the profits, it means the government itself shut Trump down. What would be the implications of that, and how the heck could this scandal be corrected? It would show the extent of the rot of the deep state that an entity so closely connected to the federal government could carry out that kind of coup. And that presents a Constitutional crisis. This kind of third-world behavior would have to be exposed by Musk -- and Congress would need to stop it.
I won’t pretend to understand the tech aspect, but I think I do understand the implications of the Deep State—and kudos to Showalter for using the term—controlling Twitter and Twitter’s filtering/censoring activities. Read it and tell me what you think. For my part, I’d have to say I would no longer be surprised if this were true. It would be just one more link in the long chain connecting Big Tech to the Deep State.
The only way anything makes sense is I divide the cabal into two loosely affiliated but powerful wings -- globalists/ foreign policy / 4th branch/ neocon and progressives./ Politicians / activists. The two wings are Distinct. Not everyone in government is in a wing but both wings hold such sway that everyone else not in one of these camps feels compelled to go along for their best interest or are powerless to oppose. Obama is in the politician wing, Clintons are in the politician wing,, Blackrock, neocons state department is in the foreign policy globalist wing, bluto Barr is in the globalist wing. The progressive / politician/ activist
wing is the lesser, or "appearances" wing, the globalist/ forreign policy bankster wing is the power wing. The wings have struck deals and hold cards against each other. Durham in this sense is a card the globalist wing holds against the political wing. Hunter's laptop investigation as well. Election 2020 as well. Trump isn't in either wing. Nor I suppose is Musk. Anyone not in one of the wings finds himself in a David vs Goliaths situation. That's how it makes sense to me
I've been saying it for years. Twitter is not financially self-sustaining. They are spending a lot of money, constantly, from someone. At this point, it's hard to believe that would be "investors" hoping to someday turn a profit. It makes much more sense that Twitter is doing exactly what it's being paid to do. Like Google or Facebook, but more so. (I believe Google makes a profit.) Who can foot that bill?
As for Musk, that guy's a spook. Rather, he's a front for something spooky.
