The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, recently purchased a 9% stake in Twitter, the social media platform that permanently banned former President Donald Trump and that conservatives accuse of suppressing their content.
Musk's purchase made him Twitter's largest shareholder, and he vowed to take it over, possibly to turn it into a private company. Its CEO vowed to fight the effort, and one of its largest shareholders, a Saudi Arabian prince who owns 95% of Saudi's Kingdom Holding Company, issued a statement rejecting Musk's offer as inadequate.
Conservative pundit Derek Hunter said: "Media outlets are applauding Saudi Arabia's government, a stakeholder in Twitter, for objecting to Elon Musk's offer. After years of attacking Saudi Arabia for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi ... and a history of homophobia (try being gay there), they're now heroes to the left."
Much of the left-wing media salutes the effort to stave off Musk. Consider this Orwellian exchange between MSNBC host Rev. Al "no justice, no peace" Sharpton and Democratic strategist Danielle Moodie:

Moodie: "I'm going to be honest, Elon Musk is a danger to Twitter and to freedom of speech."
And, Democrats being Democrats, out came the race card. Former Bill Clinton secretary of labor and professor at U. C. Berkeley Robert Reich tweeted: "So let me get this straight: Elon Musk claims to want to save humanity by creating a space colony, but doesn't want workers to join a union and has reportedly created a racist workplace?"

Buying the NY Times is a good idea, & much, much cheaper. Same level of leftist head explosion, too.
As a salesman and commodity trader I will state this FACT.
Anyone who prefaces their statement with the following:
“I’m going to be honest”
Is LYING, they are not being honest at all.
I can tell it must be very nice to be uber rich.
My first reaction to someone who said, “I’m going to be honest”, would be,
“Oh, you mean you’ve been dishonest, up until now?”
In bizzarro world that is leftist group think, “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength”
Black is White
All you have to do is notice they are a ‘RAT and you know they will lie.
Its in their DNA.
They might be next, if not by Elon Musk, then by someone else.
