The rest of the investor class consider Musk a joke to actually run the companies he owns himself.

When runaway capitalism is the norm and all the shareholders care about is that bottomline, then they will lean into the dystopia and be blatant about it when nobody is stopping them laughing all the way to the bank.
How long does it take to roll some video akin to tiktok and snapchat into it? Weed out all the bots at the same time by demanding fotoID and root out all the dirtbags abusing the app at the same time. Texting and chatting is so last decade anyway just leave it as a remnant of its birdie roots.
If it fails Meta will likely have to be broken up, their monopoly on social media is outrageous these days.
Campaign finance reform is necessary to tackle big business interests out for regulatory capture. Shift some of that subsidy into funding campaigns so the little guy stands a chance against them and their billionaire club.
The outcome of FPTP-voting is naturally a two party system, the ancient wealthy romans designed it so deliberately in order for them to easily manipulate regardless of election outcomes to maintain their wealth and power. Everywhere it is used politics degenerate into voters being reduced to pick between "business as usual" and "tax cuts for the rich." Wealthy donors play both horses and don't really care about the outcome except when some progressive candidate appears and they find themselves forced to run some interference behind the scenes to help even the odds back to the usual bread and circus' that they prefer.
The revolution is whenever people quit doing whatever the tv tells them and start unionizing/growing their network of relations to demand change.
As long as politicians appoint the judges they'll be in their pocket to maintain their bright careers.
How streaming doesn't count as broadcasting is a tad too convenient for the studio to not be a deliberate loophole. Even when the language is tested in court the lobbyism favors the deep pockets asking to split hairs clearly in bad faith.
Indeed. an impartial judge wouldn't let studios split hairs over words like this but as long as they're appointed by politicians, they will side with whoever has the deeper pockets, because that's what's required for a continuing bright career.
Indeed, get a vaporizer!
Blockchain and endorphins save us!
You're not wrong but them being the executive class beholden to the investor class is a pretty big distinction from the rest of the working class that they oversee as a part of their work.
