It’s time to make sure their cultural and political defeat is painful and permanent.
April 2022 may go down as the Gettysburg of the woke.
African-American billionaire success story Elon Musk bought Twitter in a blockbuster deal worth about $44 billion. He went into the deal announcing he intended to restore free speech to the platform that once embodied it.
“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy,” the world’s richest man tweeted on the platform he was about to own, “and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated.”
But as he and I and millions of others have noted and long lamented, Twitter was increasingly hostile to that debate. Current Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal showed his disdain for free speech in a 2020 interview when he said the company’s “role is not to be bound by the First Amendment, but our role is to serve a healthy public conversation and our moves are reflective of things that we believe lead to a healthier public conversation.”
Who died and made a tech bureaucrat the king of who can say what?
Agrawal’s smug attitude led the platform to ban the New York Post’s reports on Hunter Biden’s laptop, and fostered the shadow banning and throttling of numerous conservative and other feeds that ran afoul of leftist pieties, and culminated with the banning of the Babylon Bee. With Musk taking control, all of that has blown back on Agrawal.
Musk is a free speech absolutist. The two—CEO Agrawal and owner Musk—do not agree on free speech. That much is clear. What’s less clear is who Twitter’s next CEO will be. How about a billionaire CEO and former president of the United States who was canceled from the site?

I am not getting my hopes up just yet.
Losing? In the last 30 months they have succeeded in getting tens of millions more permanently hooked on monthly Nancy checks, installed a woke supreme justice and shot a hole in the world supply chain.
Step 1 for Musk is to show this clown the door, on day one.
Yep, cut the head off the snake.
Only declare victory when the enemy is fully vanquished
they’re far from losing... it took many years of denial on the right on what the left was doing. It’ll take many years to undo it if at all.
OUT with the little brown people...
I hear that!
The fake USA citizen Parag Agrawal is guaranteed $42 million if he is ousted as Twitter CEO. I say send him back to India with all the other untouchables coming to our shores. /spit
What will Sniffer do when his woke military says no, we won’t go?
.
And all this was accomplished with active assistance of the bush league chamber of commerce worshiping republiCAN’Ts.
Do not forget this at the primaries.
