@NZahn42 Think about it: You are this 'techy' that believes has the vision next revolutionary technology. Now you are looking for investors that fund your idea so you can build an unicorn.

A must-read on @elonmusk from Linette Lopez, one of the journalists that Musk has suspended from Twitter.

@ElmarStracke@Fritjof_R Der grosse Unterschied ist, dass Advocacy bewusst die Öffentlichkeit mit einbezieht in die Interessens-/Positionsvertretung, z.B. durch (medaiale) online/offline Aktionen.

"The confrontation between “#democracies” and “#autocracies” is overplayed, forgetting that western countries share with #Russia and #China an unbridled, hyper-capitalist ideology, and a legal, fiscal and political system that is increasingly favourable to large fortunes."
Important comment by @PikettyLeMonde in @guardian: "The free movement of capital without fiscal and collective compensation is an unsustainable system in the long term" https://t.co/p2oT2GmhxI
