So Elon’s a “visionary” who wants to turn X into a single website where you can do everything — kinda like Yahoo!

He wants his new MySpaceX portal to be a website…

    I think his ideal business model is WeChat, which is extensively used in China.

    Unfortunately he hasn’t factored in “Get literally everything else banned by the government”.

      …I mean that could explain his very alt-right bent…

      Endorse a fascist into office then ban the rest (this is no more likely than any general conspiracy theory though. We’ll have to wait and see if that’s what his actions actually align with in this coming election season to give this theory any actual weight)
