This is crypto fan-fiction that demonstrates a very, very poor understanding of Twitter, its users, "the establishment", and most of all the average person's level of interest in crypto.

One more issue is that realistically 0 crypto in it (amything cryptographycally interesting), and sounds just like another VC pump and dump.

This reads like college freshman level fanfic, and not good fanfic either.

I never understand when people with enough health and money to do literally whatever they could possibly want for the rest of their life, chose to do whatever this is (or shitpost on Twitter every day, see Andreessen lately).

The fantasies of the power elite of 100 years ago are rapidly becoming reality today.

I was a card-carrying ACLU member in the '80s, when that meant defending the speech rights of Nazis. I haven't evolved on that topic. So I can easily understand wanting to defend free speech in a culture that is "moderating" it. Buying Twitter is an effective approach to that. For me it's just a fanatasy, but it makes it easy to identify with Elon.

> I was a card-carrying ACLU member in the '80s

Same. When you come from that background and still hold on to that same moral code it’s pretty easy to root for Elon in this.

Why is paying(?) people for their support to Elon to take a company private seen as some righteous "first truly global political" revolution? This just seems like bribery/US-style lobbying with extra steps.

The genealogy of this idea probably goes back to the true election proposed by Yarvin: https://www.unqualified-reservations.org/2010/03/true-electi...

> Elon thus takes a position of total moral authority

This is a frightening proposition. Extra-governmental elections of a transnational "total moral authority" is frightening.

What the actual fuck?

Is this satire?

tl;dr?

What an unreadable wall of text. There is literally no context provided. What is this supposed to be and why?

I'm about 50% positive it's not supposed to be fiction, other than that I'm at a loss.

To be perfectly honest - I thought this was AI generated.

'What the crazy?' Was my initial reaction, but I'm here to keep an open mind and learn more.

Edit: It's on the front page of RealClearPolicy: https://www.realclearpolicy.com/

It is fan fiction about how Elon should leverage twitter branded cryptocurrency to gain enough political support to fight off any attempt by the establishment to take out twitter.

The basic idea is that if he can give all twitter users a share via cryptocurrency they will have a financial incentive to defend Twitter from a predicted political onslaught.

Hand wavey web3 revolution against the US government because Elon’s deal is sure to fail without global support via a new blockchain currency.
