Why are so many liberals and Democrats afraid of an African immigrant owning Twitter?

Recently, equity, diversity, and inclusion have been the core tenets of left-wing political orthodoxy. So, with the news that Elon Musk would be leading a group of investors purchasing Twitter, one would think this would be celebrated by many on the Left. After all, an immigrant from Africa who received an Ivy League education and became a business owner and now leads one of the world's largest social media and tech companies should be the symbolic "dream" for Democrats and liberals. Yet, many have demonstrated a disturbing lack of enthusiasm.

Hardly anybody on the Left seems happy about the African immigrant's Twitter purchase. Furthermore, many have claimed they would be leaving the platform in protest because they object to Musk's promise of allowing free speech. It's odd behavior that should be exposed for its bigotry. After years of proclaiming to want to protect our democracy, many liberals and Democrats have protested protecting one of its hallmarks.

Consider the temper tantrum tweeted by former Vermont governor and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. In a recent tweet, Dean said, "Hi Twitterverse. Many thanks for the knowledge and sharing over the past ten years or so. If Musk takes over Twitter I will be off within a few hours. Might be just as well for my well being but I've learned a lot of valuable stuff from many of you. Thank you all. Howard."

Perhaps because they are racist bigots.

Democrats are ALL RACISTS!!! That's why they have RUINED the Black families!

If blacks EVER wake up and see what DEVASTATION the DEMOCRATS have done to them, there will be blood in the streets.

The European Union will have its say about the acquisition - nein.

Meanwhile, the leftists at Twitter are having their power trips disturbed.

Joy Reid said so.

To Marxists ANY loss of their political influence or power is the apocalypse.

They are afraid of anyone who supports free speech owning any of the alleged social media sites.

Elon Musk was born in South Africa, but he is white...his ethnicity (from each of his parent's side) is Dutch, French, German, Welsh, English and Swiss.

Some folks (not FReepers) and even some media erroneously think Musk has some black blood because he was born in South Africa.

Elon Musk is the wrong color to be an "African immigrant." He's white. He spent his first 17 years living in apartheid South Africa. MSNBC's Joy Reid, who is very, very black, has expressed concerns that Musk will bring apartheid philosophy to Twitter's algorithms. Left-wing panic is fun to watch.
