News Brief
Kanye West is a Nazi
The only other option I can think of other than this one is that he's a capitalist. You can be a capitalist and a Nazi though, so Kanye West AKA Ye is a Nazi. Nazi's are still around so that part about it isn't all that striking. To me, the striking part is that he bought out expensive ad space during the super bowl to air a commercial directing you to his website that only sells one shirt. And that shirt is a white tee with a swastika printed on it. It's unfortunate because, because it's Ye you want to give it attention but because it's Ye you don't want to give it attention either. It's difficult to write his behavior off as crazy though that's what people tend to do.
Whether he has mental health issues or he is being intentional it's concerning, behaviorally, particularly with the power and influence he has. That said since his tweet storm where he literally wrote the words "I am a Nazi" his account has been deactivated. It's unclear if he deactivated it himself or if Elon Musk took it down. I don't think Elon took it down because he has a lot on his plate right now, that said, who knows. There is a screen grab of his final tweet floating around. Be on the look out for how this may develop with regard to what Kanye may do next, if you think his behavior is concerning. But more so, Musk still needs to be held to the fire with his commitment to free speech especially with this next story.

Yesterday it was announced that Elon Musk, Starlink, and T-Mobile have come together to work on a beta program that is free for anyone regardless of cell phone carrier. Starlink is a satellite internet service that can deliver high speed internet in remote areas. By being partnered with T-Mobile Starlink will enable cell phone network services to be accessible everywhere. This beta is starting with text, allowing you to text someone regardless of your location within the United States. This is the kind of hard monopoly that is borderline tyrannical. Who else do you know that is the world's richest person or in competition for that title, is a government contractor, works for the government, is friends with the president, makes one of the most popular EVs in the world, owns the most popular social media network in the world, and now has a monopoly on cell phone services!?
Let me make it easier, what other private citizen(s) do you know with high speed internet satellites orbiting the earth? Elon Musk has a monpoly on this market to whatever degree this market exists. That's probably why it's open to everyone for free, to see who will sign up and what the results will be. If this beta goes well you think T-Mobile will be the only cell phone carrier interested in offering this service? This is a hard monopoly because there is only one person even capable of doing this right now, and that's Elon. More and more because of what Elon is invested in, what everyday citizen do is being influenced and dependent on what Elon does. That a tyranny. Especially in America. This can't go on and or Elon should be constantly held to the fire because of the responsibilities that he has with respect to his involvements. Tyranny of any kind is a bad thing.
