“Entscheidend ist etwas anderes: Im Unterschied zu Soros und Gates erfüllt Musk ideologisch und politisch nicht die Erwartungen des deutschen journalistischen Establishments. Er soll nicht zu Wort kommen, weil seine Gedanken unerwünscht sind. Es bedroht die heile, selbst zusammengebastelte Welt, wenn ausgerechnet der erfolgreichste Unternehmer der Welt lieb gewordene deutsche Selbstverständlichkeiten in Frage stellt.”

"There are several million Russians who can lift their head up from propaganda and try to look for other sources, and I'd say that most look for it on Telegram," he said. At its heart, Telegram is little more than a messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. But it also offers open channels that enable a single user, or a group of users, to communicate with large numbers in a method similar to a Twitter account. This has proven to be both a blessing and a curse for Telegram and its users, since these channels can be used for both good and ill. Right now, as Wired reports, the app is a key way for Ukrainians to receive updates from the government during the invasion. For tech stocks, “the main thing is yields,” Essaye said. Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram. On Telegram’s website, it says that Pavel Durov “supports Telegram financially and ideologically while Nikolai (Duvov)’s input is technological.” Currently, the Telegram team is based in Dubai, having moved around from Berlin, London and Singapore after departing Russia. Meanwhile, the company which owns Telegram is registered in the British Virgin Islands.
