“Stop the Steal” organizer Ali Alexander says Elon Musk told him he bought Twitter “to save civilization”
Alexander: “I said, ‘A lot of people are going to like, talk back to you and say that they agree with you and not understand what you're saying.' I said, ‘I 1,000% agree and have been saying this for several years.'”

ALI ALEXANDER ("STOP THE STEAL" ORGANIZER): You know, I'm fringe because I need to be. I'm not fringe cause I have to be. I'm not fringe because that's how I got my start. I'm fringe because the world's about to burn, civilization is about to collapse. And actually, this is what I appreciate about — appreciate about Elon [Musk] is — I'm going to tell you guys, Elon and I, you know, when we had our first private conversation, he said, "You know, I need to buy Twitter to save civilization." I said, "A lot of people are going to like, talk back to you and say that they agree with you and not understand what you're saying." I said, "I 1,000% agree and have been saying this for several years."
