Another very small step towards complete consolidation of media into the hands of a billionaire.
If America turns from a democratic country into an autocracy, its media will not report it as it would be unable to do so. By the time that happens all dissent will be effectively outlawed.

One stupid side effect of this name change is that I can't filter out posts about X.

Tickets for the press conference start at $1,000 and come with one free question. Premium passes are $10,000 and come with unlimited questions and priority answering. Go whole hog with our VIP experience for only $100,000. Comes with Premium benefits as well as unlimited backstage access and a signed photo of you physically licking the boot.

Omg if you're not in off the platform, now is the time!!!

This is actually hilarious. I'm really hoping the slopification doesn't stop at this pace. Rome is burning, baby. Bring the weenies and marshmallows.
