Musk & Schiff Spar Over Twitter [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 11 December 2022 | John Semmens

In a CNN appearance this week, Rep Adam Schiff (D-Calif) contended that "hate speech is soaring since Musk took control of Twitter. Slurs against black people have tripled. Slurs against women are up 33%. Slurs against Jews are up 61%. Slurs against gay men are up 58%. These numbers are abysmal – and unacceptable."

Musk countered, asserting that "hate speech posts are actually down by 1/3 for Twitter now compared to what they were prior to my acquisition of the company."

Schiff scoffed at Musk's assertion. "My sources tell me that some of the former Twitter employees fired by Musk are adding more than 200 million tweets with offensive slurs a day to the site. Over half of these were racial slurs aimed at Herschel Walker alone. Then earlier today Elton John left Twitter. If the most famous living gay entertainer can no longer abide being part of the Twitter universe, I think this proves that my figures must be correct. Clearly, Musk is engaged in a cover-up of the vile cesspool the site has become under his unrestrained freedom of speech regime."

shiff attempting to match wits with Elon Musk?

That’s not satire.....hell that would be straight up comical!

And I’d pay the cover charge to see it that’s for sure.

I’d like to see Musk remind Schiff of the time he stole what he thought was the transcript of Trump’s call to Ukraine so he could read it into the record. Only problem was it was a fake and he had to shuck and jive his way out of it.
