NEVER bend the knee to terrorist, race hate outfits like NAACP and ADL. Musk made a big mistake even talking to them at all. Now he knows better.

You forgot to say billionaire before saying Musk.
As in billionaire Musk.

While understanding the optics of 'listening' to the various critics, one hopes that this part [which will take at least a few more weeks] isn't portentous of caving to the extortionists.

Billionaire Musk should have skipped the Neville Chamberlain coarse in business school.

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.

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.

Gadde Vijaya was born in India in 1974 and came to the US. at age 3..

"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."

The lesson here is simple: Never bend the knee.


Concluding sentence.

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.

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.

This drivel, of course overlooks the many people who are back on Twitter after being ejected. Nice try.
Actions not word salad is a better measure of what is happening.

“”They (democRATS)get their way or else.””

Even when they ‘get their way’ they are mad, angry, self centered juveniles. They never grow up, and they feeeeel their way through life. As Rush often stated, they wake up every day mad, and work to maintain their angry selves each and every day. If you kowtow to them, they just use it to state ‘see, see’ and keep on attacking.

Also, I remember when an attempted boycott of Rush (there were thousands) began to obtain a little steam. Rush performed a deeper investigation and determined that 9-10 people on Twitter had worked hard to make them appear to be hundreds of thousands. All fake. So when he demonstrated this to the advertisers, all but one returned to the fold. Rush always loved to state they had confiscatory advertising rates, because at any moment millions and millions of people were listening. I remember when Snapple began advertising on Rush. Their sales increased to the point that they needed to build more factory space. Such was the ability of Rush to reach millions. The wackos even tried to go after Snapple as racist (what else is news) because there is a letter K inside a circle on the Snapple label. The wackos stated it was the KKK. The rest of us knew it means Kosher.

The liberals may have abandoned Twitter for now, but they will be back. They will allow a platform they once owned to be a site of rational conservative discussion. They believe their core function in life is to control other people.
