At a minimum it represents a major hole in their censorship umbrella.

Not to worry Libs; as the worker bees in the Twitter hive will STILL be running it.

Optimistic!
Millions have been praying for the restoration of our nation, myself included.
I believe God used Donald Trump to begin this process and ( hopefully continue) ....
....and He can use Elon Musk to help carry it forward

Even in our darkest days of ‘Covid fascism’ the past 2 years.....there were also those .. ***..what Satan meant for evil, God used for good revelations!.***...... ‘awakenings’ by parents ( becoming aware what is actually being taught in school)

...citizens retaking their Constitutional freedoms........finding their long lost voices.....having the courage to speak out on many issues !!!!!

We are all weary fighting our individual windmills.
I can dredge up tired pessimism as well as the rest of you!
But what will that achieve?......NOTHING

HOPE!!!!!.......HOPE this is the beginning to the end of those who would enslave us mentally, emotionally, physically........

Suddenly, on Twitter they can no longer escape from the reasoned or even irrational counter arguments to their bullshit.

When Musk is reviewing the censorship algorithms Twitter was employing I would not be surprised if one of the bits of censorship code read:

“If tweet contradicts anything Dr Fauci has said, then delete”

They are mad because now news like the laptop maybe posted without being deleted. Of truth maybe spoken and discussed. Just deal with it. The news outlets still won’t report this stuff on the morning and evening news.

The truth is that not that many people are on Twitter itself. But the Elites are. Thus, the issue is that the tweets often become news by themselves (by virtue of who made them) and drive the narrative of the day.

It also perfectly illustrates who lazy “journalists” have become that they usually report on tweets from a single source (Twitter).

I have a feeling that another, left-leaning Twitter-like platform will suddenly spring up. Like Tick Tok, it will be financed by the Chinese. But the Lefties will migrate to it in droves. Thus, the joke will be on Musk because he spent all his money for nothing.

But we will see.

I think others will spring up. But inertia will keep many there. And I think some of Musk’s ideas will be welcomed.

It also wouldn’t surprise me if Musk already has a plan to make it profitable.

And he may be able to use it as a means of inexpensive advertising for his Tesla and his other companies.

Depending on what records were kept on blocking people. I think he should start fresh and unblock everybody. With a clear set of rules on what will get you blocked going forward.

Nehemiah 4:10-14 In Judah it was said, “The strength of those who bear the burdens is failing. There is too much rubble. By ourselves we will not be able to rebuild the wall.” And our enemies said, “They will not know or see till we come among them and kill them and stop the work.” At that time the Jews who lived near them came from all directions and said to us ten times, “You must return to us.”

So in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in open places, I stationed the people by their clans, with their swords, their spears, and their bows. And I looked and arose and said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.”

It won’t matter. It’s not the ‘town square’ like Twitter is. This is why this purchase is so vexing to the Groomer Censor crowed.

I think God is showing the various towers of babel for people to bring down. Medicine — Pandemic lies. Finance — Putin, China, canada. Education — Moms fighting pedophiles. etc. i believe God is working.

LOL...he bought Twitter for one simple reason.... to show folks he could if he wanted. Thats why leftists are angry. Its not because theyve lost an echo chamber....its because who took it away from them. They thought Twitter was “theirs”. Now they have to share and theyre throwing tantrums just like toddlers who have toys taken away. The abruptness and quickness of the move stunned these idiots. Now theyre lost .

Well said, Guenevere. Lovely username, by the way, bringing back memories of Julie Andrews in Camelot. A past time when nobility meant honor and duty. May a measure of that return to America in the years ahead.
