Musk: Smacking down AOC with a smile on his face.

The Bartender doesn’t know what she’s tangled with and she’s not smart enough to figure it out. No matter which way Musk takes twitter this is gonna be fun to watch - the left lose their minds over him. Oh wait they already did.

If he produced two books woth a read, he’s better than not only most people but most published authors, including many who are relatively esteemed in certain circles..

Graham Greene came immediately to mind.

Two of my favourite moderns managed only a book, and two thirds of a book, apiece (Greene, in my opinion, didn’t manage this).

For that matter, what did Dante write besides the Divine Comedy?

You can use it for free just like now. You just have to deal with the ads, just like now.

Twitter is still owned in part by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal

Nope, the Saudi guy sold his stake and ran

btw he's the same jerk who tried to make a donation to NYC right after 9-11 ... Guiliani told him to FO

(and Dorsey is staying with Twitter and didn't sell his stake)

Saudi Prince Alwaleed Becomes Twitter’s Second Largest Shareholder

Article in Forbes dated Oct 31, 2022,02:15pm EDT

When Elon Musk’s $44 billion Twitter acquisition was finalized last Thursday, a few key questions remained. Chief among them: whether a group of 19 investors would follow through on the $7.1 billion equity commitment they made to the Tesla chief in May–back before tech stocks plummeted. A piece of that puzzle was revealed Monday when Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia announced in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing that he’d made good on his $1.9 billion commitment, making him the social media company’s second largest shareholder after Musk.

You're wrong. Insanity does not merit equal time. Nor does treason, pedophilia, drug pushers, etc.

Your logic is what has allowed pornographers to proliferate. None of the above has any relation to the 1st Amendment.

Twitter was like Democrat Underground. Who the heck wants that aside psychos.

The demographics of these crazy young women setting the trends has changed too, despite the schizophrenia of pushing adults to act as children- which is ridiculous

There is a sociology at play.

Makes sense, crypto Marxist Islamists can only recruit through blackmail, and hysterical degenerates are easier to blackmail

Now if only he could provide it as an alternative to YouTube.

YouTube now looks like Democrat Underground too.

Didn’t he write “The Shining”? I like that book. The movie... not so much.

Haven’t seen Rudy lately, come to think of it. Hmmm... used to be on War Room a LOT.

“...YouTube now looks like Democrat Underground too...”

FARK.com is pretty much the official annex of DU these days, and has been for quite some time.

"as long as there’s no vulgarity or threats of violence included."

Pornography is not free speech. Pedophilia is criminal, as is selling drugs. Look at your own logic. I advocated none of the things you suggested.

Yeah - I have no idea what those ‘things’ are either - but I’ll bet they’ll flush out a lot of fake bot accounts

You’ve defeated your own propositions. There are severe limitations upon speech. Period. The Founding Fathers did not intend to protect all speech. End of story.

You’re a liar and a gaslighter. I never said the things you claim I said. Go bother someone else.
