@chrisstoecker He has real friends: politicians who endorse his actions by using his tool of disinformation and hate speech. Ironically, it is a tool that tries to undermine democracies:
@leavex That is not what real friends are
@chrisstoecker @leavex I've come to the conclusion that these people are amoral and choose not to think. They're not immoral, they put themselves outside of the concept of right and wrong altogether. They get their "reach" and numbers and they're fine.
They're not humanists nor guardians of democracy. They do what gives them short term gain. In their minds there's benefit, but no cost.
There's people getting rich off child labour and pollution too. These are the same type of individuals.

Last Sunday, I spoke with a politician who is a DSA reference. She argued that most politicians don't leave X because journalists seek information about them there, and some have built strong followings. She gave this answer in front of hundreds of people at FOSDEM.
I went to the hallway to give her the "Leave X" letter that I wrote to European politicians over a year ago. At first, she refused to take it because she said she was too old to read such small text. I asked her to give some to her colleagues, but she refused.
She said that she RESPECTS her colleagues who decide to stay. Journalists *call* her when they want to know about DSA. I think that if she weren't a reference on this topic, she wouldn't have left.
Now, she is in discussions to get a EuroSky. It's clear to me what will happen next.
P. S. As I learned 20 years ago from a fellow journalist who covers politics in Brazil: politicians are needy beings who like attention. In Europe, not much changes.
@chrisstoecker @leanderlindahl my take after Sunday as a cartoon
When even that fails, he merges the chatbot and the social media plattform he also ruined with a profitable business to cover the horrendous cost. #Musk #Grok #xAI
