Unlike other Hollywood whiners losing their MINDS over Elon Musk buying Twitter, William Shatner EMBRACES it in perfect tweet

In a Twitter full of George Takeis, be a William Shatner.

Seriously.

We’ve lost count of the number of ‘entertainers’ aka Hollywood types who have lost their freakin’ minds over Twitter accepting Elon Musk’s offer to buy them. But not William Shatner.

Granted, he’s not a thin-skinned, emotional harpy looking for verification and vindication on Twitter for his biased or sad narrative …

His response was perfect:

BTW, since it seems to be the latest “thing” on here. I’m stating that I’m staying on Twitter. Besides I think @elonmusk is adorbs. Also, full disclosure: I’m trying to pitch Elon to hire me as face of Twitter. #dumpthebird 😉😏

You know, that could work.

#DropTheBird

Actually, that hashtag works for many reasons but we digress.

Not a Tribble? pic.twitter.com/geX0POhD6j

A Twitter Tribble.

Hrm.

There could be potential here. Maybe. The alliteration itself works very well.

OMG MAKE THIS HAPPEN. NOW THIS EDITOR REALLY WANTS ONE!

It did just occur to me that your buddy George might go apoplectic if this were to happen…

As we said above, be a Shatner, not a Takei.

He totally should.

He could play Spock in a Star Trek remake

Elon would make a GREAT Spock.

Ask him to buy the @StarTrek franchise, fire the top folks that have destroyed it. Bring in @SethMacFarlane to rebuild it. pic.twitter.com/P1JtVosYuP

Maybe another chance at space too?

— Elyot 🎸 (@madbaldscotsman) April 28, 2022

Elon Musk gives me a good reason to stay on Twitter, actually.

I just hope he finalizes the deal so it's official.

Now THERE’S a blast from the past.

“He was the face of Priceline. How did that go?”

It went extremely well for Shatner.

I never cared for Musk during Obama's tenure, mainly because he was the darling of the sci/tech press, which told me he was a good lefty.

Now that the left hates him because of his truthful tweets, I'm liking him more and more.

I hate to brag, but Shatner lives in my great commonwealth of Kentucky! 😁

Let’s not go over board; I’m thrilled with what Musk is doing, but he’s not exactly in line for sainthood. Okay, I’ll take the good stuff, but won’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

I clicked the link, and found a tweet saying NM had found problems with Dominion voting machines, similar to Tennessee!

Young William Shatner was totally having a blast the whole time playing Captain Kirk, back when Star Trek was good.
