“Musk buys and frees Twitter, and the neo-Ralph Naders in the govt. come out in force.”

Yep, when pushing EVs, which Tesla was leading in, was a higher priority than dead occupants in those cars, the feds kept silent, in line with Lenin’s famous saying that “sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet”.

But now Musk has gone to the ‘dark side’ and so his cars are FAIR GAME.

The usual Biden regime harassment of people who don’t obey their every order and conform to their sick ideology.

They do this harassment here in the US and abroad.

It’s a feature - makes it easier to get out when they catch fire.

“ The usual Biden regime harassment of people who don’t obey their every order and conform to their sick ideology.”

We turned into Nazi Germany, circa 1936.

It only happens when the CEO distrusts the Deep State at Twitter.

“disrupts,” not “distrusts.”
