Not My Oligarchs syndrome.

I don't use X, never used Twitter, and I donate to my local NPR member stations. I don't want moneyed interests and secret political alliances in my media, at all.

But everyone failed to take into account the fact that investors needed a platform to promote their narratives

Shocked. Now do the rest.

My NPR station has a roll call of billionaires every hour- from the McDonald's founder's foundation, the Gates foundation, the Carnegie foundation, etc

member stations

It's different. I dropped NPR News after the 2016 primaries. My local member stations are excellent.

Why does everybody continue to be shocked that South African Apartheid Mafia Boy acts like South African Apartheid Mafia Boy?

All this is saying is that relatives of some rich Russians work in some financial fund that put in some amount of money into Twitter. Lots of mental gymnastics, misinformation, and conspiracy theories about how Twitter is operated in this person’s posts.
