Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter set hair ablaze from the start, and things have only escalated over the last week. The billionaire’s reshaping of the social media giant started with the top executives at the company, including chief censor Gadde Vijaya, getting kicked to the curb. On Friday, that expanded to seeing over half the company’s workforce laid off.

Elon Musk @elonmusk · Follow Twitter will not allow anyone who was de-platformed for violating Twitter rules back on platform until we have a clear process for doing so, which will take at least a few more weeks 4:55 AM · Nov 2, 2022
When that tweet went out, it set off alarm bells on the right. Why was Musk giving bad-faith actors who had spent years trying to silence their political opponents a seat at the table? Everything that was wrong with Twitter in the before times hinged on the leftwing censorship pushed by such people and entities. And to throw in ‘The Bush Center’ as the token conservative representative among a sea of far-left social justice grifters? It felt like a joke. What was the point of buying the platform for $44 billion if Musk was just going to hand it over to the very people who want to destroy him and his vision?
Sure enough, after getting down on one knee and kissing the ring, Musk now finds his platform being boycotted by the very organizations he sought to appease.
ADL · Nov 4, 2022 @ADL · Follow Today, we are joining dozens of other groups to ask advertisers to pause Twitter spending because we are profoundly concerned about antisemitism and hate on the platform. Here's why we're asking advertisers to #StopHateForProfit and #StopToxicTwitter🧵

The article is pure unadulterated drivel. The writer is a writer...... an /english major attempting to play with the well educated
You forgot to say billionaire before saying Musk.
As in billionaire Musk.
???
No of course not.
It was just another jealous Musk hit piece
It wasn't.
Click on the link and actually read it in full.
In every article I’ve read about Musk..they always refer to him as billionaire Musk.
Billionaire Musk should have skipped the Neville Chamberlain coarse in business school.
There is another way of looking at this...
Due to Deep State corporate boycotts MUSK will be ‘forced’ to cut Twitter to bare bones, leaving a skeleton crew to run the operation.
If Elon Musk had used the money he earned from a gullible public to fight Twitter’s discrimination then he would have impressed people as a free speech warrior. For Musk to buy Twitter and change the targets of its discrimination is completely meaningless in the fight for free speech.
The solution would be to haul the owner of Twitter before the Supreme Court and end its practice of discrimination.
The Dude overspent by many billions a company that is losing money. He WILL try to appease both political sides somehow, and for him, more importantly those Corps spending ad revenue.
I agree with this whole article. Good intentions mean nothing to the left. They get their way or else. There is no appeasing them. It is black or white. If it is gray, you are going down and they will attempt to cancel you.
Geesh, how many times have we watched that happen lately? Never ever apologize or try to appease them. It is a fatal mistake.
Actually it isn’t. Read it.
Now just why would he do that?
And he earned his money by working incredibly hard with 80 to 120 hour working weeks FOR YEARS and being about the bast entrepreneur on the planet.
For Musk to buy Twitter and change the targets of its discrimination is completely meaningless in the fight for free speech.
Buying Twitter was fine.
And he WILL change Twitter, ad boycott from GM or not.
How long will GM last as a company?
Everyone backs down eventually. Except Trump. That’s why he needs to be the nominee and the President. A lot of people are trying to break free and they may even want to but it’s not as easy and Trump made it look to stick to your guns. I hope people realize this before looking at DeSantis and Pompeo etc. Politicians have said the right things for decades...
These retards (advertisers and users) that use boycotts hardly ever work if it all. The thought never occurred to this low IQ writer that endless businesses would never advertise on a censored left-wing website in the first place as they don’t want their products to be stained with a commie label.
Now there will be an opening for endless new businesses to advertise - and hey, maybe even raise the rates now that the forum is going to a free market bent.
In a fight between Musk and NAACP, I’d back Musk to eventually win.
NAACP is led by about the stupidest people on the planet.
"She has described her childhood as having been affected by the Ku Klux Klan presence in Beaumont Texas so much that her Indian father's employer instructed him to get permission from the local Klan before he could go door-to-door for soliciting insurance."
If you can believe this hog wash, I got a bridge I want to sell you.......
