'The bird is freed'

I have looked forward to this day for a long time. The bird is freed.

Elon Musk has taken control of Twitter and has begun firing the fascists.

Billionaire industrialist Elon Musk took over Twitter Thursday night and immediately fired several top executives, sending shockwaves throughout the social media platform.

CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal and head of legal policy, trust, and safety Vijaya Gadde were all fired after Musk had accused them of misleading him and investors over the number of fake accounts on the platform, a source with knowledge of the matter told FOX Business. Editor-in-chief of The Federalist Mollie Hemingway described the firings as "An excellent start" to Musk's tenure in a tweet.

And he did it in style
The fired Twitter executives were hastily shuttled from the building, sources told The Washington Post. Billionaire Musk is set to hold a company-wide town hall meeting today.
It's a shame he didn't put them in shackles first.

The left wing fascists were losing their minds on this emancipation day.

Uproxx writer Mike Redmond wrote, "I don't think any of us are prepared for how quickly this whole site is about to go down. It's a miracle flames aren't shooting out of it already."

"Yay, manbaby with poor impulse control and edgelord tendencies has the helm. Sweet," tweeted writer Dylan Reeve.

"I would be so happy if I’m wrong. But the [sic] all the red lights are flashing here," warned NBC News "disinformation" reporter Ben Collins.

I could not write this post without a contribution from this dipstick:
Controversial tech columnist Taylor Lorenz tweeted, "It’s like the gates of hell opened on this site tonight."
And there's more

* Liberal academic and journalism professor Jeff Jarvis' reaction upon hearing the news was, "The sun is dark." Earlier in the day, he had warned, "This is an emergency! Twitter is to be taken over by the evil Sith lord."
* In a now-deleted tweet, liberal journalist Molly Jong-Fast asked, "Can someone make a new Twitter or is this a very stupid question?"
* Disgraced CBS anchor Dan Rather used famous lyrics by punk band The Clash to express wariness about Twitter's future as a platform, writing, "With this Twitter thing maybe changing considerably. a question I am asking: Should I stay or should I go now? If I go, there will be trouble And if I stay it will be double So come on and let me know Should I stay or should I go?"
* Noah Berlatsky, a journalist who has written for NBC Think and The Atlantic, responded to what he called an "extremely silly" tweet comparing people threatening to quit Twitter to those who had pledged to move to Canada when Trump won. "Moving to canada requires a major logistical and financial difficulties. leaving twitter requires you to click a button," he tweeted. "a huge number of people will leave this platform instantly, because Musk is really controversial and disliked."

It makes one giddy with schadenfreude. It's truly amazing how the left bitterly clings to its fascist roots. Others also are taking great pleasure in this:

Musk should issue a scare to all leftists, including all democrats and liberals and socialists and communists.

Let them know that, ALL of their posts/comments will be removed and their accounts closed, as soon as the ‘new Musk logarithm detests a lefty inclination.

That would scare the hell out of them and go rioting and destroying the U.S. IOW, same as they do now.

I once met a bird,
Learned how to tweet,
Thought it was neat.
She showed me the rules,
And I complied,
Used all the tools.

She told me that racism, sexism, were outside the pale.
But just be conservative, and you will end up in jail.

So I spoke my mind
And I got banned
She wasn’t kind.
So It was decreed
Till Elon said,
This bird is freed.

"a huge number of people will leave this platform instantly, because Musk is really controversial and disliked."

I heard that 10% of posters write 90% of the posts. If they leave, normal people will take over and be free to say what they think. And maybe the Bots will get nuked too.
