Elon Musk buys twitter

Denis Danilov
@DenisDanilovL
Elon Musk has complied after all and provided a list of X Holding Corp shareholders who helped the billionaire buy Twitter. And who do you think turned out to be the investors of the X platform? That's right, Petr Aven and Vadim Moshkovich. Now it is absolutely obvious where Musk got such love for Russia and where the roots of “filters” due to anti-Russian publications grow from. Let me remind you who Aven and Moshkovich are.

Petr Aven is a Russian billionaire, founder of Alfa Group, which is one of the main wallets for Putin. This man is controlled by the Kremlin as much as possible, for example, in 2018 he traveled to Washington with his colleague Fridman to lobby on behalf of the Russian government to lift international sanctions on Russia. Aven is one of Putin's oldest friends. In general, without Peter's interference, Putin would be in jail rather than becoming president. After all, Aven covered for Vladimir Putin in 1992, when he organized the illegal trade in export licenses. Aven promptly approved him as an authorized representative of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Affairs with the right of foreign economic activity, thus saving the future dictator from prison. Aven also attended a meeting with Putin on February 24, 2022 to mark the start of the invasion of Ukraine. He did not express any protest, started the special military operation and silently supported Putin. By the way, he along with Friedman is trying to get sanctions lifted, just yesterday he received another rejection in this matter.
Twitter is represented in the purchase by 8VC Opportunities Fund II, L.P., a company in which his son Denis works.

Vadim Moshkovich is a sub-sanctioned Russian agrarian billionaire who was a member of the “Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation”. In other words, he was officially part of Putin's closest circle. Moshkovich owns Russia's largest agricultural holding Rusagro. Naturally, he also attended the meeting with Putin on February 24, 2022 and, like Aven, did not express any protest against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Twitter is represented in the purchase by 8VC Opportunities Fund II, L.P., a company in which his son Jack (Eugene) works.

Also an interesting personality is Al-Waleed bin Talal Al Saud, who both personally and through his Kingdom Holding Company is represented in the list of investors as many as three times. This man continues his investment business in Russia and does not publicly support Hamas in the war against Israel. He regularly works with Rosneft, Lukoil and Gazprom on investments in Russia.

Knowing all of this, how can there even be a discussion about Elon Musk's bias? Everyone was thinking how is it possible that Twitter (X)'s stock is plummeting, advertisers are breaking contracts, and no one is doing anything about it. I mean, that's a direct loss to investors. But what everyone overlooked was the fact that investors didn't care about profits, they needed a platform to promote their narratives, such as: supporting Putin and Russia; lobbying to freeze the war in Ukraine; taking the Ukrainian agenda out of the top news; the righteousness of Hamas, etc.

It is now obvious that all the changes to Twitter that are ruining this beautiful platform are a consequence of Elon Musk's collaboration with people like Moshkovich and Aven.

Musk was in a bit of a panic yesterday popping off 100+ tweets. I wonder has he received a target letter.
 
I can't stand the man, I hate twitter and it's cesspit of shyte...

but it's interesting to watch patterns, and seeing how people react to things.

You can see a lot more, than what a lot of people think.

I've joined that movement though I doubt too many more journalists will unfortunately.

Social media is mind fudging the planet and something has to change. One key moment will be how the EU respond to Vance's threat to pull the US out of NATO if they rule against FElon. They should call his bluff as I think Trump will have the US leaving NATO anyway soon enough. This should be the moment the EU cuts the umbilical cord with America and charts its own security future.

Still get a newspaper delivered to my house as we’re old fashioned and only really use Twitter to keep up with latest football and movie news nowadays.

Might give Threads or Bluesky a try at some point if more of the journalists I follow post there instead.

I’m a journalist and I’m changing the way I read news. This is how.

Sometimes it's healthy to do something you love less, and differently.

This is something I have advocated for a long time. When I went to schools to talk about my career, I'd make it a point to explain the difference between actual news and opinions/content dressed as information and news. I think it should be a school course. With regards to life in general, whenever the chance exists to do one thing properly rather than this insane notion that we should all be 'multi-tasking' all the time, then we have to take it. And yes, being aware of one's own reactions to those around them is imperative. I think all these modern 'outlets' are designed to distance people from self-awareness more than ever. People with time to think and self-reflect will usually come to conclusions which don't suit division rule. Glad to see more editorials like this.
