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.

The article is pure gold actually. And right on target.
Did you even read it at all before spewing your nonsense?

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.

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.

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.

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."

If you can believe this hog wash, I got a bridge I want to sell you.......
