For all I know there are a hundred fake DeSantis clones on there talking about how much they love dressing in drag.
The rule is that a parody account must list itself as a parody in the account name. The AOC parody account in question does exactly that. It's unfortunate that their tweets sound too much like something AOC would actually say for some people to not notice a difference.
Quote:I agree with you in the sense that people should be able to say what they want, but I also feel like Elon Musk is very much wearing a mask by retooling a private organization to promote himself and the ideas and people he wants to promote under the guise of it being an altruistic gesture of protecting or promoting freedom.
I can see how you get there, even though I don't wholly agree.
Quote:It's not what he's doing, but the narrative he's trying to spin which is very much a typical sociopolitical facade, or at least a case of misdirection. And I could be wrong, but I'm free to say Musk is more Caesar Romero than Cesar Chavez in my book. Keep in mind, I've never had a twitter account and I don't like Ron DeSantis so I'm not Elon's target market, so what I think is even more inconsequential than usual.
I think Elon's target audience is those wanting to have free discourse. At least that's what he's stated publicly.
