Elon Musk Fires Back, Shames His Critics: “The extreme antibody reaction from those who fear free speech says it all”

Twitter’s new owner, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, fired back at his critics in Hollywood, the Dem establishment, and the media as they completely overreacted to the news he was buying the social media platform.

The reaction from the left to the news that Musk wants to protect the one thing that separates us, and guarantees we will always beat, China, Russia, and the rest of the authoritarian regimes – our fundamental freedoms like free speech – has been an eye-opener.

Musk shamed his critics: “The extreme antibody reaction from those who fear free speech says it all. By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law. I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.

“If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect.

“Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people.”

Below are just some of the reactions from the left.

“Elon musk buying Twitter is a dream come true for white nationalists,” wrote left-wing commentator Dean Obeidallah. “After all musk is from the former apartheid country of South Africa which the white supremacists idolize.”

“Wonder if Elon musk will copy the apartheid rules of his home country South Africa and give us check marks based on our skin color?” Obeidallah added. “The whiter the check mark the more rights you have on Twitter.”

“Now that Elon Musk is buying Twitter, the question for all of us is: Will he allow a Criminal who used this platform to lie and spread disinformation to try to overthrow the US Government to return and continue his Criminal activity?” wrote Hollywood star Rob Reiner. “And if he does, how do we combat it?” he...

Maybe they should hate their leftist buddies who sold the company to Elon.

Make no mistake about it, they are going to try and destroy Twitter because it will allow Free Speech.

Liberals really are hilarious when they don’t get their way. They foam at the mouth and say thing even more outlandish than their usual garbage.

Yep. And the Republicans, like weak parents, back down in order to accommodate them.

Don't dare mention the stolen election. If we do, we will only make them stamp their feet and throw a tantrum.

And we can't have that. So we buy them a candy bar at the checkout counter and let them go to school in their pajamas.

Pick up a weapon and let's get it on, @hole.

Without a doubt, Musk’s new 1st-amendment-friendly twitter will be targeted for destruction by the left. They want a world in which we’re not allowed to dispute their narratives, e.g., on gender/sexuality, on covid-19, on crime, on voting, on abortion, on policing, on racism... ad infinitum. Musk has turned the whole thing on its ear, and there’s no way that they’re going to just stand by and let him do it. The battle has scarcely begun.

I love the guy who assigns to Musk certain nefarious beliefs because he comes from a certain country. I wonder if he is equally cool with stereotyping people who come from Third World Fecal Repositories....

Elon was born in SA, so that makes him a supporter of apartheid? Um, well if you say so...then:

[Insert racial/ethnic/religious person here] support and promote [insert historical atrocity here], and the evidence is [insert non-sequitur claim based upon geographical birth place here].

Which lefty wants to play? I got an unlimited supply of your fave ‘oppressed’ groups that fit very nicely into your paradigm.
