They STILL don't get it? Everyone has been yelling about exactly what would happen. The news, social media, people protesting in the streets... even Fox News is critical of the Tariffs now. Journalists are bringing it up at White House press conferences and getting reaponses from the Press Secretary. This is not a secret. What sort of social bubble/echo chamber, do these people live in? Just fully bought in to the kool-aid. Useful idiots, the lot of them!

Social bubbles/echo chambers is exactly what has created this. Why did Musk buy X and Trump created his own social media?

[–] III@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because Musk accidentally made an offer for Twitter and because Trump needed to take foreign bribes?

Now, why was Musk able to get the Saudis and others to help him bankroll that purchase?

[–] drhodl@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

The Saudi's liked the idea of being able to censor and/or dox people who are anti-Saudi. I think they got their money's worth tbh....

So they have leverage over him
