    Since when is Common Cause an oligarch?

    This article is about Bezos acting in solidarity with Musk, not one of them trying to censor the other.


    Edit: I am genuinely mystified by the downvotes. Somebody, please explain why you’re butthurt that I’m not buying the notion of Jeff fucking Bezos being some sort of champion of the working class who was strongarmed into censoring the ad against his will.

        Okay except this is in no way infighting between them; it’s solidarity. Why would anybody assume Musk is forcing Bezos to censor the ad against his will, when it’s much more likely that Bezos wants to refuse the ad in order to further the cause of plutocracy?

        Is this community some weird alternate universe where Bezos is a good guy standing up for the little people and not a villain oligarch in his own right?
