> media companies operating in the US to have US citizens owners is likely much longer than you've been alive

You do realise that, should US allies apply this principle themselves, US companies will suffer? Most UK media is foreign owned at this point. As is our water supply, transport and energy

And Elon’s rampant disrespect and general behaviour are inviting that day.




The difference is China is an adversary, not an ally like the UK,and China already bans our social media there.


They don’t actually, the only British ‘social network’ is OnlyFans and it’s allowed in China.

As for the rest, what is the relevance?

US money influences our politics through shadowy think tanks and pushes it to the right. US-owned water utilities take on loans, use them to pay dividends and drive themselves into bankruptcy.

Being a US ally doesn’t buy us better treatment from US billionaires, they are still predatory vultures.


> not an ally like the UK

Let's see how long that lasts.
