Sorry for the headline. I don’t know why they don’t just say it’s Vivek Ramaswamy.
To that end, I will accept Russian control of the occupied territories and pledge to block Ukraine’s candidacy for NATO in exchange for Russia exiting its military alliance with China. I will end sanctions and bring Russia back into the world market. In this way, I will elevate Russia as a strategic check on China’s designs in East Asia.
I was watching a review of the GOP debates by some US political junkies just last week and one of the hosts said that Vivek knows he doesn’t have a chance but is using this presidential run to get exposure for his planned foray into right wing talk show host. Something like Tucker or Alex Jones.
Great bang for your buck with free news media advertising by pretending to run for president and saying crazy stuff.
After hearing he wanted to start his own right wing talk show his character and mannerisms made so much more sense.
Apologies for the facebook link (They start talking about him around the 14 min mark and the comment on his talk show plans is at 20 mins)

Chances are he doesn’t even believe the nonsense coming out of his own mouth, but society rewards these people with riches beyond their wildest imagination so they keep doing it.

or he wants to be VP.
That was the common thought about Trump in 2016…
What would have happened if he lost? Probably exactly that.
Yeah, that was the feeling, that he was gearing up to start his own OANN style network.
Dude is worth like a billion dollars. Why would he want to be talk show host?
Besides that the fact that running for pres, can theoretically be used as a springboard into conservative media, what was their argument?
Why would Elon Musk want to own a social media company?
Billionaires are weirdos.
For Musk and Twitter, especially due to the heavy foreign investment in his purchase of the company, it’s severely more likely, than just ego, that he bought out Twitter specifically to destroy it.
Twitter was being used as a way for the common people to unite against oppressive corporate/capitalistic and government regimes. Across the world. By sharing their hardships and their fights for their rights to people who weren’t fighting or didn’t know they could.
Western influence was disrupting Iranian culture, showing women that they could be strong and independent, to live the way they wanted to if they banded together. Seeing people unionize across the States emboldened others to unionize in their home town.
Why do you think Facebooks competitor (what was it ‘sheets’ or ‘pages’? ‘Threads’ maybe?) decided to very specifically state that they wouldn’t have threads about politics or religion? Because those were the reasons Twitter got bought out and destroyed.
What reason other than ego is needed by the wealthy? They don’t need to consider pros/cons like the rest of us do. You see the kind of following right wing talk show types build? I could very much see someone wanting that just because they can do it.
