Michael Shellenberger Drops a Chilling Thread About the WEF That Gives Elon Musk the ‘Willies’
Michael Shellenberger, who has been involved in breaking down some of the Twitter files releases, has posted a thread and an article about the World Economic Forum, ahead of its meeting in Davos this week.
Shellenberger says that the World Economic Forum is “fighting back against those who say it and its founder are seeking global domination through a ‘great reset’ aimed at stripping the masses of their private property, de-industrializing the economy, and making everybody eat bugs.” But Shellenberger takes apart that “defense.”
A WEF managing director claimed in August of last year that the “you’ll own nothing and be happy” meme was a conspiracy theory started by an anti-Semitic account on 4Chan. But that wasn’t true, since it was based on an article on the WEF website from 2016. The spokesperson mentions that article but downplays it as a “years old” opinion article.
WEF Managing Director Adrian Monck last August claimed the “You’ll own nothing and be happy” meme “started life as a screenshot… by an anonymous anti-semitic account on the image board 4chan,” but that was a lie. It started its life as this WEF article, now deleted. pic.twitter.com/VtNHV2cgf7

The managing director also leaves out the subsequent video put out by the WEF in 2018 that makes it seem far less like a “years-old article.” While they deleted the page that had the video on their site, the video is still up on their Twitter and it’s a creepy, prospective look for 2030.
It’s true that @wef did not delete the creepy video it made with now-infamous “Own nothing” guy, but it did delete the web page it linked to. t.co/2qebtBXekU pic.twitter.com/0ezhkmF0Zr
