    Someone owes some Russian & Middle Eastern Oligarchs a lot of money for his Twitter buying fiasco. Same as Trump did for his fiascos. The business model is just them doing what they were told to do.

      Lol, what?

      He is one of the richest oligarchs in the world, its people like him that the whole system caters to.

      Nobody is controlling him, he can do whatever the fuck he wants and he just happens to want a lot of dumb shit.

        It’s not like he just wrote a check. He took out loans and got other investors to sign on to fund the Twitter purchase. Even someone as wealthy as him has to answer to others.
