Every dictator in history got the job because they convinced enough people they were a Messiah. Who said it's OK for other billionaires to own media outlets outright. Rupert Murdoch is a poster boy for what is wrong with that. I don't think billionaires owning big media outlets is a good thing but you seem to think it is. Bezos bad, Musk good. What could lead you to that conclusion other than Musk is telling you what you want to hear?
No, that's completely incorrect.  Like I've already said, your Messiah talk in nonsensical.  I certainly don't think he's some kind of Messiah.  Again, you're incorrect, nobody said much at all about billionaires owning media until Musk sought to buy Twitter.  Then all of a sudden it became an issue.  What was nice about the internet is that it gave everyday people a voice separate from the billionaire media owners.  Musk is looking to restore a bit of that balance by lessening censorship and making algorithms public.  I'm not sure why that bothers you so much.  That point of view is also nonsensical.
