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 solution would be to haul the owner of Twitter before the Supreme Court and end its practice of discrimination.”
Sorry, but using any form of gubmint is never a solution to anything if the past half-century is any indication.
No one seems to comprehend that Musk is building a much lower cost Twitter that will appeal to new advertisers
For many, visualizing the future is impossible
Musk could ask that advertisers not support the ADL for not asking that Farrakahn be banned from twitter.
Smoking Joe: Did you even read it at all before spewing your nonsense?
Bert: No of course not.

A blogger who didn’t buy Twitter wanting to tell the person who did buy Twitter to work faster.
The lesson here is simple: Never bend the knee.
In many ways it is a no win situation. But the rules of negotiation says you have to begin somewhere. This was just a meeting........................................
Musk as done some masterful negotiation, I think he is still at it.
Writers who hide behind anonymous cute names aren’t worth seriously considering. Red state is among the more lack of transparency rags out there even if they occasionally say the right things. Another clown is Jazz Shaw.
“how many times have we watched that happen lately?”
I know right?
We keep playing the same game, the same way expecting a different result.
Well, I came back and read it all.
It is drivel borne of inadequacy and jealousy.
You cannot negotiate with progressives. That is the point here. They will not give an inch. The only thing they know is raw power and you have to show them you are more powerful than they are by ignoring their bully tactics. They are mean and you have to be meaner back.

Is there a Musk Train? Or, I guess, Musk Hyperloop that you got on?
Here's Elon's BFF top twitter censor:
Well, that is YOUR take?
OTOH - did Musk hand AOC her ass-hat or what?
He who owns the gold makes the rules.
Would not be surprised to see Musk give the scum a chance to play fair and then torch them for being hypocrites.
He does have a style and brand of his own, I think.
