Elon Drops Big Consequences on Leftist Twitter Accounts That Break the Rules

We’ve been seeing a lot of changes now on Twitter with Elon Musk at the helm.

Musk is digging through a lot of the problems that have needed fixing for a while.

We saw Musk discover the hard evidence of the leftist “woke” nature of Twitter when he found the pile of “stay woke” t-shirts in the closet and blew up the liberal myth about the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson. He said how that leftist bent had distorted world conversations “has been really bad. Far left San Francisco/Berkeley views have been propagated to the world via Twitter.” He committed that there would no longer be a “thumb on the scale” to promote such a leftist narrative any more.

Musk also noted that it was conservatives who suffered the brunt of the permanent suspensions, that that wasn’t happening to people on the left before he took over.

One piece of evidence of that was that if people on the left made threats they now were suffering consequences when they might not have before.

One leftist user posted that @LibsOfTikTok user Chaya Raichik, Matt Walsh and others should "fear for their lives" got a ban that simply never happened before Musk:

Good for Musk. He seems to say what he actually means.

Ultimately a fairly administered cite will be more profitable than one run for just one lot.

Mind you, to the Left “fair” seems to mean what is ours is ours and what is yours is ours too.

Musk appears to be for rules to be applied in a consistent and unbiased manner.

Of course the rules may be debateable.

But it’s no surprise why the left shrieks in fear about him.

Here's a very short YouTube video where a commie is showing how easy it is to create fake Twitter accounts that come from legitimate people:

Elon Sank Twitter

Elon needs to do something about this.

Try flying a rocket when you lie about whether it is ready to go.

The reason Musk hasn't been completely pilloried, is that by firing that turkey-neck red-dot Vijaya Gadde, he has taken the pressure off Section 230 regulations.

But I'd rather have it this way than trying to attack Section 230 without the Senate or the White Hospice.

I like Musk.
Too many here seem to dismiss people that aren’t in complete agreement with them.
That will lead to a very small group of people.

For example:
I always enjoyed the vast majority of George Carlin’s work.
I don’t agree with the majority of his political leanings.

Plus, Musk has the goods on a lot of people on the left. Think what he could do to the White House and the agencies like FBI, DHS, etc. who worked w Twitter to stomp on free software speech.

That whole farm to table thing started in Berkeley, and it propagated.

Plus his Tesla’s have been data mining the lives of everyone who drives one so there is that.

I liked Carlin. He could be a grade A asshole but you know where he stood. He also was a real supporter of free speech. He never called for anyone to be silenced. He just mocked them even more. And was funny doing it.

Something today’s “comedians” have never learned.

Yep, agreed. My favorite recent comedian was Bill Burr.
He seems to have changed since getting married.
I preferred him single, angry, and going on rants.

Speaking of free speech, I was doing some cleaning out of things recently.
I found my old Eddie Murphy comedy tape cassette.
The one track was called “Faggots”...

Afraid I haven’t heard of Bill Burr.

Cut the cable a couple of years ago so I may be frozen on new comediennes.
Last one enjoyed was Ron White
“They call me “tater salad”

Just a note about formatting. Red text is hard for those with color blindness to read.

He seems like a character. I think 4 wives that he’s gone through…
