Everything I know about #Omarchy I've learned against my will.
Whatever the story in the end will be: it sure looks like Platform Capitalism is gearing up to try and capture parts of the #FOSS ecosystem with their default weapon: flooding morally flexible people with money.

Elon Musk’s America PAC has dropped $100 million to support the GOP
in critical races that could control the future of the Senate.
It includes TV commercials, digital ads, and a social media blitz across platforms Musk owns and platforms he doesn’t.
The eleventh-hour push is a brazen attempt to stoke the anti-trans moral panic and turn equal rights for transgender people into a make-or-break campaign issue.
“The PAC’s emphasis on trans issues is striking because that’…

While I am certain that the wonderful* folks in Ken Paxton's office are doing this merely for performative reasons, I am genuinely conflicted about this one.
On one hand, I think it would be interesting to see what - if anything - comes of this action. If nothing else, discovery should be an absolute hoot.

Attorney General Ken Paxton has opened an investigation into LinkedIn Corporation (“LinkedIn”) over allegations that the company has advertised and profited from fake or misleading job opportunities, commonly known as “ghost jobs,” on its platform.
