It's a Trap: Musk Pays Surrogates Revenue on Twitter to Lock Them Into His Everything App X

A Radical Dispatch

Share

1) Twitter Revenue Share

Elon Musk has unveiled his latest shiny object on Twitter: revenue share.

TechCrunch reports:

But it is a trap. We'll explain.

Many of Musk’s online Twitter surrogates, and those generally enamoured by him, have expressed fawning delight at how much they have earned.

2) It’s A Trap

But as those who have built their income stream on youtube know well, there is nothing quite as comfortably numbing as a gilded cage. Once content on any centralised platform is linked to generous income streams, creators will go to absurd lengths to please their new digital master, including by publishing entire interviews on youtube with key words such as Covid removed from the conversation.

Will Musk’s Twitter be any different? As Elon Musk’s ongoing block on Substack and his threats of a legal case against Zuckerberg’s new app highlight, Musk makes no qualms of wanting to dominate online conversation.

But to what end?

Musk claims that he wants to usher in a new era of freedom.

But his actions speak louder than his words.

And sometimes even his words… speak louder than his words.

Indeed, Musk has already announced that he wishes to create an ‘everything app’, based on the Chinese social-credit scoring app named We Chat.

Radical Media raised the alarm on 12th May 2023. The below is an extract from that article:


Because this is their plan:

Confirmed by media:

And already initiated:

Much like in China with WeChat, Musk’s everything app - ‘X’ will seek to be a prelude to the social credit system. This is something Musk himself has been very candid about:

Musk: “We don’t even have an app that’s as good as WeChat in China. In like, in China, you can like live on WeChat, basically..everyone that’s been there, you live on WeChat, you do payments, you do everything, it’s like, yup, it’s great.

WeChat’s kick-ass…and we don’t have anything like WeChat outside of China. So, my idea would be like..how about we just copy WeChat?…Eh” [laughter]

Copy them

[more laughter]

Off-camera: “Buy’s twitter. Copies WeChat.

[applause]

Musk: “Yeah, pretty much! Like, yes!” [laughter]

Yet this is WeChat:


3)The Cost of Dissent

If more proof were needed that this is what Musk has planned, one need only look to how those users who call him out are treated, even when they pay his $8 per month protection money.

In more extreme cases, users who challenge Musk’s other business interests appear banned from Ads:

Or, as in the case with Radical Media, censored by muting sound altogether:

Note: due to Elon Musk’s ongoing social media war with Substack, video via tweets can no longer be embedded into Substack. Readers must click through on the image to view all video clips.
As with much of my content, this particular clip is censored. Twitter seems to have muted the audio for a few seconds. Watch the full Rogan episode 1780 on Rumble.

4) Promoting Division on Twitter:

Awareness around the danger of Musk is already beginning to grow, and certain users are becoming very skeptical:

This is especially so since Musk’s censoring only seems to apply to accounts that pose a threat to his plans.

On the other hand, accounts that promote social division - which is required in order to usher in technocratic tyranny - seem to be amplified by him:

As usual his paid surrogates follow his lead in this regard, here implying Britain is too Muslim:

5) The Gilded Cage

So there it is.

Like all Globalists, Elon Musk has already announced his intentions. As youtube did, Musk seeks to create so great a dependency on Twitter income streams that users who have already surrendered to the financial temptation will be caught inside a gilded cage, losing access to vast wealth and content boosting if they do not do his bidding.

Meanwhile, Musk’s own supply of ‘bread and circuses’ is so mesmerising, and the distractions created by his paid sycophants on Twitter so regular, that the average user has already lost their wits about them. They have no idea that they are paying - and being paid - to surrender themselves to technocracy.

Add to all this Musk’s plans for microchipping your brain.

To his just announced foray into Artificial Intelligence

And his dystopian vision becomes clear. While Musk uses his platform to bemoan the loss of his own privacy and liberty.

He uses libertarian and anti-establishment content creators to do the exact opposite. Just as American BLM leaders used left-wing anti-racism sentiment to enrich themselves, the populist right are being used by Musk and his surrogates for similar ends. Except, this time they are all expected to pay to usher in their own technocratic enslavement. Wake up.
