A Bloomberg Opinion senior columnist’s skewed portrayal of “free speech” after Elon Musk’s big investment in Twitter shows how ignorant media leftists are to American principles.
Timothy O’Brien published a tone-deaf piece headlined: “Elon Musk’s Twitter Investment Could Be Bad News for Free Speech.” Musk, worth around $280 billion as of late Wednesday morning, bought a sizable 9.2 percent stake in Twitter, totaling 73,486,938 shares, which makes Musk the platform’s biggest shareholder. O’Brien fretted in response. “I suspect there’s something more serious informing Musk’s decision to invest in Twitter, even if he revels in buffoonery: Maybe he wants to bring Twitter to heel,” O’Brien wrote. Musk tweeted mockery of O’Brien’s opinion piece, which The Washington Post republished. “WaPo always good for a laugh,” Musk tweeted. Musk slammed the platform on March 26 for its censorship-heavy environment: “Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy.”

Meh, to many elitist Lefties, censorship = free speech......
Hey there Mr Timothy O’Brien- your concept of free speech clashes wildly with reality-
There is no free speech on Twit now.
Liberal heads are already exploding.
Employees are freaking out and making derogatory posts about Musk. Hopefully, they will need new jobs soon
Incredible but true. Bizarro world.
Bad news because they don’t want more free speech.
The Bloomberg crew make CNBC look like OANN.
As does just about everything else the left believes.
More like ‘Bad news for censorship’
Most of Bloomberg’s writer-clowns have been properly delivered to the crazy farm. How did little Timmy escape?
