Musk put over $20 billion of his own money into Twitter. If I put 10% of my net worth in a project, I care how it turns out.

Good for you and Musk! So proud of people who can put money into something and lord over it because of capitalism.


I should point out most people have things they put 10% of their net worth into. Cars. Maybe a house if you're doing very well.


We are talking about being capitalists. Not getting a car or a personal house…no less those people likely aren’t capitalists. It is okay if nuances of economics aren’t understood by normal people but my comment being downvoted while posts lacking foundational political knowledge are fine. Of course it makes sense. Liberals lack self awareness.

TBC: you thought the throughline was money when it was nothing. You were talking about investing money that can be used to exploit workers and turn a higher profit by paying workers less than they benefit the stakeholders. Exploiting people is an obvious immoral action.
