billionaire hedge fund manager proposes buying and shutting down Bluesky to stop it [View all]

Bill Ackman, a billionaire hedge fund manager …….(((edit to remove DEM donor, b/c he
supports Trump)))

. He proposes buying and shutting down Bluesky to “prevent further fracturing of the town square.”

https://digbysblog.net/2024/11/20/still-more-why-we-cant-have-nice-things/

Thus the same billionaire who posted FAKE crap……….

On October 19, Axios considered America’s gullibility crisis and found Ackman there:

Bill Ackman, a hedge fund billionaire with 1.4 million followers on X, obsessively promoted allegations from an ABC News “whistleblower” that the network had given Harris questions in advance of her debate with Trump. On Wednesday, more than a month later, Ackman admitted it was “fake.”
