In what possible world is it "Dems" fault that Elon Musk is a shitbag?
Musk has agency.. he chose to overpay, he wasn't forced to. To avoid squeezing the shit out of Twitter, he could have just not made a binding contractual offer to buy the company for $44 billion. It's like saying that of course these ghoulish private equity companies have to squeeze the shit out of the nursing homes they buy in order to make their money back.
They could just not do the first part and avoid making everything around them shittier?
During the hearing where his license was getting revoked, he literally requested an emergency recess, during which closed on a deal where he bought an assisted living/nursing home complex, with his son as the license holder for the nursing home.
People like this exist and are the lowest scum.
