Elon sneezes, and the Left catches pneumonia.
In between watching the scandalous FTX crypto scam unfold and making all the Thanksgiving fixings, I’ve joined Twitter, which I’ve refused to participate in for years. One reason for my about-face on the social media site is that Elon Musk, the new owner, is creating a genuine open forum and he’s actively participating as a commentator in the most amusing way.
I prefer the Facebook technical setup but despise the way it (like the former Jack Dorsey-run Twitter) uses it to stifle real debate, regularly in one way or another blocking other than left-wing views and information. In time, if Musk achieves his goal, Facebook may reform itself as well, or suffer a significant loss of participants and revenue.
The other reason for my new respect for Twitter is that the phony baloney inheritors of the mantles of the once-great Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the NAACP announced an effort to starve Twitter of advertising revenue, ostensibly because Musk was allowing hate posts on Twitter. Utter and complete nonsense. In 2019 under Dorsey, the site was full of anti-Semitic posters. ADL registered a complaint, but did nothing more. In fact, Twitter regularly allowed Ayatollah Khamenei to publish the most outrageous hate speech with no restrictions. Yair Rosenberg:
A strong case can be made that given Khamenei’s access to political and military power, the virulence of his anti-Semitism, and the way it defines his global outlook, he is the world’s most powerful anti-Semite. He denies the Holocaust while threatening another, and deploys the very rhetoric used to incite the murder of Jews for centuries while actively pursuing the nuclear weaponry that might make such murder possible. And yet Twitter, which has banned another notable world leader [Donald Trump],

I have never had a twitter account, but I still enjoy seeing the leftists wailing about Musk.

Source should be American Thinker. The wrong line selected from the recent sites popup. The link works though.
I guess she also agrees with his stances on transhumanism, Universal Basic Income, and global government.

Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

I’m not noticing any in the two or three minutes I devote to twitter every now and then, now that I rejoined since they un-banish-ized Trump. But I have been enjoying Kevin Sorbo, who starred in cheesy TV crap, but it turns out is aok as a person and a commentator.
Selective banning...
Musk has much more devotion to free speech, which makes him the enemy of the left, the woke, the Chinese, and the jihadists.
He has all the right enemies.
Yeah, don't do that with postings, not even as a joke.
