I wonder if China’s policies kept Drew Johnson from ever owning anything made in China?

I really don’t care about repression in China. I care about Brandon importing China’s repression to the US of A.

Funny how everybody and their brother has an opinion about Elon Musk all of a sudden.


Including the FTC which is looking into halting the take over by using anti-trust laws.

On what grounds?
Musk has no other business in social media, so how do you halt his Twitter take over on anti Trust grounds?
You think that will stand up in court?

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

Musk cannot (at this point) instill free speech in China.
Musk can instill free speech in America.
Musk knows the difference.

There’s an issue with sovereignty. So long as he keeps both boxes separate I’m inclined to go along with him here.

Unlike Disney that’s doing the Chinese bidding here.
(And note the DNC is running with the propaganda that Elon is doing Chinese bidding here by buying Twitter…)

It’s much more important in the US. The Chinese are used to living like slaves.

According to financial pundits, the FTC will make up something.

It will stand in court because the judge will be a Clinton/0bama/Brandon appointee. By the time (years) it reached SCOTUS, Twit will be a lost cause.

Elon is doing what he can, where he can.

Would the author prefer he do nothing at all?

How did Dementia Joe's mask mandate do in court?
Answer: it got overturned.

Just because something got overturned does not mean a separate unrelated thing will be over turned.

Everyone sure is worried about Elon these days. As far a space, Elon has gotten the USA back in the game, and he is the only person in the world advancing ideas as big, maybe bigger, than China. People criticized him importing Tesla’s from China to Europe, so he built a massive giga-factory in Germany. Demand was still so high in China, he built another giga-factory in Shanghai and is building more in the USA.

Musk is an American promoting American values in America, supporting United States constitutional freedoms in the United States of America. How dare he! He must be stopped!

There is ZER0 grounds for anti trust action.
Any antitrust attempts will be easy to overturn in court. Much easier then the mask mandate was to overturn
You gotta come up with something else.

Usual Clownhall.com garbage-smelling tripe!

Who cares about free speech in China?

We’ve got to be concerned about the reduction (and now total control through the new bidenagency) of free speech AND thought in this country...
