I don’t think it can be proven, just like bezos owning the Washington post can’t be proven to sway things.
A bunch of billionaires owning consolidated media, what could go wrong?!
Trust me. Whether we can prove it or not, the whole purpose of buying Twitter was to kneecap the “left” in organizing (sorry but most are actually liberals, especially the PMC echo chamber that was Twitter and is now becoming Bluesky), push nazi content, and sway the election. Supposedly he’s going after the UK election too but I’ll be honest I haven’t been paying attention to that. A whole bunch of major democracies had elections this year. He swayed the most important one.
