Citizen Kane is the classic American film about a wealthy man's rise and fall from power, played by the brilliant Orson Welles. It is based on the life of William Randolph Hearst, a media magnate whose empire still exists today. It's the tale of power and corruption, the role of the elites in America and how one man shapes a nation. In the movie, Kane takes over the New York Inquirer and I couldn't help but see the parallels between the Inquirer and Twitter, specifically Elon Musk's takeover of that platform. The same way that Hearst in real life and Kane in the film pioneered yellow journalism, Musk is manipulating Twitter to fit his needs. It is also the story of how wealth and power can destroy a man and his life. In modern times, it serves as a story of wealthy men through a different lens than the current paradigm of leftist hate that consumes the populace. In Kane's story, he is pitied for his wealth and unable to ever get comfortable with it. In modern times, we worship wealth and do not see the pitfalls, the deficiencies of wealthy people because of their wealth. The intertwining tales of these men, from the past, the movie and the current moment can tell us a great deal of how money and power are destructive forces when improperly applied. From these stories we learn how, in modern times, wealthy folks ought to behave.

grew up in South Africa during the apartheid years and met hundreds of white men like Musk. We were taught that racism is not racism but a natural understanding that as you don't mix cucumbers and tomatoes, this alleged "natural order of things" demanded we separate "un-mixable" cultures such as black and white people. Musk inherited the Afrikaaner's Calvinistic dominion-ism from the Dutch Reformist Church which incidentally also created an extreme version of patriarchy. His wife Justine told me once that during their wedding's bridal dance, Musk chose that moment to say "I am the alpha in this relationship" South Africa taught many white men that dominance was their natural birth right and Musk seems to have completely failed to unlearn this lesson. The African philosophy of Ubuntu solved many reconciliation problems in SA via the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Musk had left SA before this form of justice became the new SA's reality and instead preserved his (and many other SA men's) undeserved privilege of dominance. A grotesque version of this dominance is his father's recent marriage to his step daughter and siring children with her. Thus making Musk's sister his mother in law and his former brothers are now his nephews. Not to forget how Musk's eldest son is now transitioning and this was the moment that Musk - who previously claimed to be socially tolerant - started raging against young people and their preferred pursuit of freedom I've been permanently banned from Twitter for copyrighting the moniker 'Apar-𝕏-eid' and Musk's lawyers are now threatening me with legal and financial extinction. Dominance in race, marriage, politics, media and his father's "Harem" seems kosher Losing dominance seems to trigger an existential crisis in the poor chap which also might explain his need to retreat into Ketamine solitude
