“He bought twitter after they kicked off Babylon bee. That was the last straw for him.”
Last December the Babylon Bee crew talked Musk into sitting for an interview. They’d never met before, but if you hear the interview you can tell that they hit it off.
Some time after that interview the Twit Gestapo banned the Bee. It was after they were banned that Musk first began talking about buying Twitter. I’ve never heard Musk mention that event as prompting his decision but I sure suspected it was.
The “Elon Musk Sits Down With The Babylon Bee” interview is here on YouTube:

Thank you! I missed all that and did not know. That was a fun interview! He can be funny and witty and down to earth. And I really liked some of the things he said. I’m starting to like him.
Before, I thought he was just weird, and probably icky, perhaps based on the names he gave his children as I never had any interest in him or his companies, really, and so knew little about him. Well, that’s taught me a lesson. I still disagree with him on global warming, and skeptical of his claim about solar power and batteries. On some other topics, I think he’s spot on.
Thank you again. I appreciate your posting that.
