The gold nugget in there:

“Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) April 4, 2022

It appears the wokerati are more than happy to allow ‘free speech’ when it’s their speech but when ‘free speech’ is contemplated for all speech (even the evil ‘others’), tolerance goes out the window and tantrums dominate (until they get their way). Perhaps the real driver of this ‘fear’ of Elon goes back to his comments (paraphrased) that “wokeness… basically gives mean people a shield to be mean and cruel, armored in false virtue.””

In 2016, the ADL succeeded in pressuring Twitter to establish censorship, something the ADL freely brags about in its press release.

Wonder if Musk will be able to dislodge the ADL from Twitter.

The Left engages in what it thinks is moral outrage which then justifies their violence against what ever has caused this ‘’outrage’’.( of which no one else seems to be ‘’outraged’’ about.)

Some call this ‘’virtue signaling’’.

I call it moral idiocy.

Liberals are all smiles and giggles when they are destroying someone’s life, but fall all to pieces when the tables get turned

I’m glad that the left is bothered by this. Could it mean that his influence will turn Twitter into a free-speech platform which doesn’t try to control our thoughts through coercion?

That would be nice, but I’ll believe it when it happens.

Seems they had very select hiring practices. Easy solution. Fire everyone that was injected and hire the pure bloods

““There’s interest in billionaires, there’s celebration of the Musk. There’s also fear, I think, sometimes or wariness of- okay, so here’s the richest man on the planet who just bought a big chunk of one of our most important communications tools,” said Stelter. “”He’s also one of the biggest owners of satellites in the world. So he’s incredibly powerful, incredibly, I don’t know, am I allowed to use the word strange when talking about Elon Musk?””

I’ll take “who is Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg” for 100 Alex.

All the butt boys in the liberal press will be attacking Musk soon...

Journalists might not be the brightest bulbs in the pack but they know how to 'follow orders'. The billions of dollars taxpayers waste on 'intelligence' will soon be 'leaking' to the Washington Post and New York Times. Every rumor and innuendo our intelligence goons have on Musk will be 'given/traded' to the press - with orders to print it all or they'll be cut off from the 'good stuff'...

Go for it Washington Post and New York Times - we can't hate you anymore than we do now... (How's the "newly discovered Hunter Laptop" amazing you 'journalists'?

How do you suppose he acquired the shares? Did he accumulate over the last few months? Did a big holder sell to him? Does Twitter management want him to be a significant part owner?

Leftists sad that maybe ... just maybe ... they won't be allowed to continue censoring everybody they want.

Fascists don't take stuff like this laying down. Expect the staff to walk out. But Musk is a throwback to the old school tycoons like Rockefller and Carnegie, the kind of guy that would probably just fire them, bring in all new guys and have it up and running again a couple of days. Should be fun to watch.

The more leftists we can get going on record as not only being for censorship but insisting it's one of their dearest principles the better. At some point maybe a few people will wake from the tik-tok comas and notice it.

I have some pretty cool business professors and one of them had actually been a day trader for 20 years and he was teaching financial classes...

Anyway, he made a point of saying things like

“if you don’t like the price of gasoline buy stock in whatever company that you purchase your gasoline from”

and this is an example of that. Musk felt the need to purchase Twitter and maybe for a very similar logic, simply that he didn’t like what Twitter was doing, perhaps to him personally or overall.

Elon Musk did signal twitters importance, and why reinvent the wheel? Musk operates a G5 network and twitter is a robust presence. Perhaps a merging of technologies is in progress.

SKYNET now with Twitter!🤸‍♂️🤸‍♀️🎆✨🎇🤸‍♀️🤸‍♂️
