There are many damning anecdotes in Kate Conger and Ryan Mac’s new book, “Character Limit: How Elon Musk Destroyed Twitter,” but one from February of last year perfectly captures the astonishing pettiness of the world’s richest man.

Michelle says, without evidence.

Trump turned the GOP toward truth.

Musk did the same for Twitter, now X.

Boy, you can’t make this stuff up!

Elon made it OK to question vax, masks and everything else. He single handedly enabled free speech online... But according to the nyt he destroyed Twitter? Idiots.

Musk fired something like 80% of Twitter staff, and at the same immediately increased Twitter usership without any effect in operations.

Those 80% were de facto employees of FBI/Homeland security and were engaging in government censorship requests.

Ad revenue declined greatly as many of America’s woke, political corporations backed away

Trumps appeal is to the working class....the ones who lost their jobs to China and who’s salaries are undercut by illegal immigration.

Elon’s (main) appeal is to free speech proponents and anti-cancel culture in general.

Somehow championing these issues has been labeled as racist and tyrannical.

This means they make a great team in my book.

Musk has 200 million followers. How many readers does the NY Times have?

And Sean O’Brien did to the teamsters. If the vote were real you’d see Twitter like numbers everywhere and the teamsters results is proof.

Yes, lefties really hate Musk. Another hatchet job... all hearsay, from NYPravda.

NY Times fabulist Michelle Goldberg falsely claims that her opinions are fact.

twitter was a playground for journalists who considered themselves princes and princesses. Musk changed that. I’m sure Goldberg doesn’t like to be community noted or told to STFU.

My twitter account is still suspended. Although I asked for it, I did not receive amnesty

That’s not even close to a good analogy.

Recommend reading Walter Isaacson’s recent 600 page biography of Elon Musk. He spent two years with Musk gathering information, and Musk did not do any editing since he did not even read the book before it was published. We need a lot more Elons and Donalds in this World.

Consider the source, America’s worst excuse for a newspaper. It has been driven into the ground by the Sulzberger family and is now staffed by extreme left wingers who wouldn’t know the truth if they fell over it.

I don’t even bother reading any of the posts from NYT or WaPo. Every one I HAVE read are nothing but lies and vitriol. They are scum.

Meanwhile, thousands of NYT scribblers have been fired the past three years, with management deeming them unnecessary, useless and insentient.

They scream “It’s a private company They can do whatever they want!” But not Musk? Hypocrites personified.

I pray Musk does something to Michelle that she seriously dislikes, while she realizes what a nothing she is.
