About Musk’s role in coups that will give him financial gain -

‘The seeds for Musk’s eventual purchase of Twitter can actually be traced back to this exchange [on Twitter] in 2020:

Armani @historyofarmani

You know what wasn’t in the best interests of the American people? The U.S. government organising a coup against Evo Morales in Bolivia so you could obtain the Lithium there

Elon Musk

@elonmusk

Replying to @historyofarmani

We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it.

Musk coup tweet

Retrieved from Twitter on September 25, 2024

Musk has since deleted the tweet, but this post, published two years before Elon started buying up Twitter stock, which eventually led to his purchase of the app, points to the logic in why he sees such value in the company.

The tweet above is in reference to a political coup in Bolivia, which led to the ousting of then Bolivian President Evo Morales. Rumors have long suggested that the U.S. was involved in the coup, with American authorities reportedly seeking to gain control over the nation’s lithium resources, and keep it out of the hands of Russia and China.’
