Also of note: during this past few weeks, not a single Lefty billionaire stepped up to intervene with a counterproposal to buy out twitter in Musk’s stead.
Yet the Left is still howling about Musk spending his own well-earned wealth to do so.
I think I have a solution on how he can figure out who to let go.
Since there are a lot of people to go through, get several rooms and have a certified conservative Patriot in each one. As the employee comes in and takes a seat, a cover is removed from a table. On it are 3 things: a gun, a Bible, and a portrait of President Donald J. Trump. The Patriot then asks a simple question: “Should any restriction WHATSOEVER be made against ANY statement made on Twitter?”.
If the employee shows ANY adverse reaction to the items on the table, or should answer ‘yes” to the question, they’re then instantly FIRED.
This idea came to me before I had a full cup of coffee this morning. Please judge accordingly.
The standard answer that any CEO should give when asked to support a woke agenda is “The only opinion we care about are how the customers feel about our products.”
Musk is in for a helluva fight; https://www.revolver.news/2022/04/elon-musk-buy-twitter-free-speech-tech-censorship-american-regime-war/
“So Mr. Musk’s real contribution may turn out to be a one-and-done move to relieve Twitter of its foolish overcommitment to the politics of the left—an overcommitment that has characterized many institutions in society lately, and not because of conviction, revealed truth or any accumulation of evidence. The reason is fear and intimidation. “
This is absolutely true. The left gets all the big corporations and institutions to toe the line by terrorizing their management and then permanently infiltrating their corporate bodies.
It’s a protection racket the mafia would be proud of.
First thing Elon should do (in order not to repeat what happened when Trump came into office and Obama political operatives remained entrenched) is let the flaming libs all leave, then fire all Twitter employees and make them interview for their jobs back. Toss any applicant that has wacky-colored hair, piercings, a man-bun, man purse, etc.
The only way to fix Twitter’s culture is to move the company out of California.
Musk needs to push the transition process to be completed before the end of September; the left will continue to use the platform to wreak havoc with the 2022 elections through the summer and will push their woke efforts even harder as we get closer to the elections. If he can wrest control by the end of the summer, many conservative voices will be heard that would otherwise be censored by the left in a final push to retain control.
The Constitution was created by wise men. And they can be considered our “aristocracy” — not of noble or wealthy birth, but skin-in-the-game aristocrats by virtue of accomplishments in life and proven merit to society.
I believe Musk is in that camp and it’s wonderful that he has chosen to use his wealth wisely.
Yes, you can criticize Mr. Musk for things he has said and his cleverness at taking advantage of tax incentives. But on the whole, he has cast himself — not a pure conservative — but as a non-partisan, middle-of-the-roader, whose aim is squarely in line with freedom and the principles of America’s greatness.
I think Rush Limbaugh would have been proud of Musk at this moment in history.
“the progressive left—a sector, Pew tells us, that is overwhelmingly white, privileged and accounts for just 6% of the U.S. population.”
Yes the self-loathing, guilt-ridden, do-gooder whites. The bane of humanity.
There is a platform with no rules and where there is total freedom of expression for everybody. and it seems everyone on the globe has been accessing it for years and been much better off for it. It’s called the internet that has every form of information, misinformation, bots, ridicule, hate speech, virtue signaling, helpful and unhelpful advice, etc. and the amazing thing is that everyone keeps coming back...that is, except to CNN+ which is proof most people, without help from a censor with an agenda, can distinguish fact from fiction. Wonder if those who oppose Elon’s free speech absolutism would also advocate shutting down the internet. I would love to hear the book burners’ arguments for shutting it down. No, not you, President Xi.
I’ll bet that Musk guy was born in a manger and can walk on water, too.
