Elon Musk satisfied the demands and provided a list of shareholders of "X Holding Corp", who helped the billionaire buy Twitter.
Among them are Petr Aven and Vadim Moshkovich.

Petr Aven is a Russian billionaire, founder of Alfa Group, one of the main wallets for Putin. Aven is one of Putin's oldest friends. Putin would be in prison instead of becoming president without him. Aven covered for Vladimir Putin in 1992, when he organized an illegal trade in export licenses; he was also present at a meeting with Putin on February 24, 2022, in the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. He did not express any protest against "SVO" and supported Putin. By the way, he, together with Fridman, is trying to lift sanctions from himself, just yesterday he received another refusal in this matter.
In the purchase of Twitter he is represented by the company "8VC Opportunities Fund II, LP", where his son Denis works.

Vadim Moshkovich is a sanctioned Russian agricultural billionaire who was a member of the "Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation." In other words, he was officially part of Putin's inner circle. Moshkovich owns Russia's largest agricultural holding, Rusagro. Naturally, he was also present at the meeting with Putin on February 24, 2022, and, like Aven, did not express any protest against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
In the purchase of Twitter he is represented by the company "8VC Opportunities Fund II, LP", where his son Jack (Eugene) works.

Knowing all this, we now understand Elon Musk's bias. Everyone was wondering how it was possible that Twitter shares (X) were falling, advertisers were breaking contracts, and no one was doing anything. This was direct damage to investors. But everyone failed to take into account the fact that investors needed a platform to promote their narratives, such as: support for Putin and Russia; lobbying for freezing the war in Ukraine; removing the Ukrainian agenda from the top news etc.

It is now clear that all the changes on Twitter that are ruining this wonderful platform are a result of Elon Musk's collaboration with people like Moshkovich and Aven.

@Emily hi, I couldn't find a way to email/DM you without paying for premium on twit/linkedin, so, re: your article in pcmag:

You mentioned the marketing around its success in coding interviews. Here's independent results showing some important context: https://t.co/Ar9ZAxBQtn

Before he steps down I’d just like to thank Elon Musk for shattering the myth that billionaires are smarter, more hard working, or simply any better than anyone else in the most public way imaginable.

@MugaSofer @leo60228 @qntm I don't have any solid data, but from admins' toots it's what I gathered was the case. Seen a few publicly endorse the idea of moving to small instances run by friends, for this reason and because it lowers costs for the mid-large instances.

[OliverUv @OliverUv]

@MugaSofer @leo60228 @qntm i don't think this is true? Lots of people are running 1-to-few user instances. Such instances usually have more moderators per user than the larger instances, so the good-faith ones are usually well moderated.

[Wild Geerters @steinkobbe]

It really can't be overstated just how much of a shameless liar Elon is

[OliverUv @OliverUv]

@pwnsdx you joke but they did

[OliverUv @OliverUv]

@Bulldogfan175 @elonmusk i voted No because I think twitter is more likely to shut down under his "leadership" : )

[OliverUv @OliverUv]

@maxrothbarth i voted no because I don't want to risk twitter actually surviving

Another one so pilled she can't tell the difference between distributing coupons for a rival restaurant and saying to your friends, "This place sucks, meet you at Burger King instead."
