A year after Elon Musk bought Twitter, he finally explains WHY:
He says that the niche ideology that turned San Francisco into a "zombie apocolypse" would historically be geographically isolated, and the fallout would therefore be limited. But Twitter gave that philosophy an "information technology weapon," which it could use to spread that mind virus to the whole planet unopposed.
Musk: "In order for the mind virus to propogate it must suppress oppossing viewpionts."
Rogan: "Because it doesn't stand up against scrutiny?"
Musk: "Correct."
Musk cared enough about stopping this virus that he spent $40 billion to do so.
