Musk is loving this, and I have to believe his enthusiasm will rub off on the small segment of legacy twitter employees who actually see value in being productive. Plus, the launch got scrubbed today so he needed something to do...

His fantastic tweets aside, have you noticed how Elon and his lean band of geniuses have managed to run Twitter perfectly, after the old Twitter snowflakes — who pretty much just kind of hung around and waited for lunch every day — resigned and said it could never be done?

I heard today on CBC Radio that CBChas closed all of ots Twitter Accounts.

This proves the truth of Elon’s move on government news services who do not tell the truth.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/cbc-twitter-government-funded-media-1.6812591

Interesting. Here is what CBC said a few hours ago....

“Twitter can be a powerful tool for our journalists to communicate with Canadians, but it undermines the accuracy and professionalism of the work they do to allow our independence to be falsely described in this way,” said corporate spokesperson Leon Mar.

“Consequently, we will be pausing our activity on our corporate Twitter account and all CBC and Radio-Canada news-related accounts.”

Ok... they are calling it a ‘pause’. The other interesting thing is that the label that Twitter put on the CBC seems to have come about at a request by the Conservative leader. According to the CBC site, Pierre Poilievre requested the label... “We must protect Canadians against disinformation and manipulation by state media. That is why I’m asking @Twitter @elonmusk to accurately label CBC as “government-funded media”.

It is a fact. And Canadians deserve the facts.”

He’s done a remarkable job running Twitter. Prior to Elon taking over, Twitter was basically adult daycare for their employees.

CBC is a Canadian Nationalist ANti American , givernment funded propaganda corporation.

It also has scores of emplyees scouring the iternet to delete defamatory media concerning Justin TRudeau. Try and find a balckface gif or a negative video on Justin TRudeau, most have been deleted or buried so deep they never make a google search return.

THe CBC is responsible for single handedly crating a hatred and disrespect for DOnald Trump.As an ex-pat I live in Canada , (married a Canadian) and I have to listen to their propaganda 24/7. I never watch or listen to the CBC . Their spinning pof the news makes me angry.

I am so goladthat Twitter has called them at theoir nefarious communist game of shaping public opinion. Most Canadians are like passive sheep.The recent Freedom Convoy provided a glimmer of Hope, and the CBC reviled them as terrorists, which they were not, the Freedom COnvoy is a movement of genuine Canadian Patriots smashed down by Trudeau and the CBC.

The CBC is VILE. Its a huge weighted candy coated turd hung around the necks of unfree Canadians.

Very well said. The only bright side is that the CBC’s viewer and listenership has steadily gone down at the same time that number of people getting their news from outlets like True North and Rebel News has gone way up.

He can keep poking the bear that is mass media, but they’ll eventually turn around and bite back.

Trudeau and his gang of fascist Globalist clowns need to be turfed for the good of the country. Problem is that the urban voters always vote for these idiots, thereby screwing the rest if the nation.
