That's because everything he's read for the last ten years has been max 240 characters long and you can't really come to a full understanding of anything that way. He's vaguely aware that certain concepts exist, but his brain has rotted from disuse

Telling advertisers to fuck off is objectively good in all universes and is worth a thumbs up, and people shaking their heads from their cubicles (where they work to make billionaires richer) just look really stupid.
Being the richest man on earth, the correct thing for him to do is not worry about advertisers at all and run it as his own personal media site. And it would be good for people to have at least one media site that is an alternative to all the advertiser dominated ones. Unfortunately, tomorrow he'll be begging them back, because he has the memory of a goldfish and no consistency.

so he will self fund twitter from his own pockets instead of relying on advertisers to do so? doesnt seem smart to use your own money when you can use someone else's money but what do i know, im sitting behind a desk supporting other people who make a few millions a year

Yeah why not? That's literally what fuck you money is. Small price to pay to own one of the largest megaphones in existence. You confuse money with power. Monetary wealth is a great indicator of power up to a certain point, but then it diverges. Sometimes I think Musk gets this, but then he does something to disappoint me.

Does Musk actually have fuck you money, or is his wealth tied up in the value of his companies? (This is a genuine question)

His whole fortune is predicated on convincing people his companies are valuable and they should want stock in them. Well sorry, 95% of it, the rest is from government handouts and his dad.

He is a symptom of everything that Burt’s Twitter feed complains about, but none of them can see this because they have confused being a wealthy but obnoxious and emotionally desperate prick with being an alpha or whatever they’re calling it this week

I'd have no problem with this. I also consider politics to be an extension of Advertising.
