When republicans are too fucking useless. Musk gonna Musk

It's hard not to be euphoric about this pros[ect. If Bazos can have his own Leftist mouthpiece (WP), and the DNC "own" all of MSM, no reason Musk cannot own a far more impactful free speech platform. There is hope!!

Sounds like there are going to be significant job openings at Twitters empty headquarters.

Uh oh, if that transpires the regressed left would lose their on-line safe space to berate and demean those that have critical thought and reading comprehension above the 2nd grade level.

Whatever way Musk goes it's the end of the road for Agrawal. Control is 50.1 percent. At that point Musk could appoint the board; install his own CEO and take the company anyway he chooses. This is just the opening salvo. Actually, having to debate issues and make cogent arguments strikes fear and terror in every progressive activist.

Don't forget the twenty cents. I'm guessing this is a reference to 4/20.

Noooooo. He'll infringe on free speech by limiting the establishment's ability to quiet dissenters!

Good. Maybe the triggered employees will all leave and Elon can hire some folks that just want to work rather than constantly whine and express their moral and intellectual superiority.

Any employee who doesn't 100% support FREE SPEECH should be fired immediately. They can go work at Facebook if they want to censor free speech.

I wonder if Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk have been collaborating? Dorsey's departure as CEO was indicative of a disagreement in the direction of Twitter.

One thing for everyone to understand here. Musk isn't just fighting the woke Democrat machine, he is fighting Wall Street and the WEF globalists cabal. Musk has put on the biggest of the big boy pants. I hope he is ready for the onslaught against him.

Masterclass in trolling. If the Liberal Mafia don’t like it, they can always just “find their own platform,” I suppose. I’m sure Gab, GETTR and Truth Social will be quite welcoming to their ideologies. Oh wait…

Let the crying begin among the Twits @ Twitter.

If the thought of Elon being on their board required a day off, surely this will get an entire week. And then on-site counselors.

I will only return to Twitter if I can tell a male he is a male without getting banned

Thrilled😂😂👏👏please reinstate all those you (twitter) have permanently suspended for telling the truth!!!!! The best news we have had in two years.

Except the GLOBALISTS tyrants will never let it happen ... with a free speech having platform like twitter they have NO chance of implementing their evil plans

Dude does make a good fit for the anti-christ.... just sayin. Likable. powerful, foreign born...

so how would that affect your lawsuit, if it happened?

Expand full comment

I don't care about Twitter personally. I just hope Elon is watching his back, or that he has a team doing so. We are now seeing a "battle of the elites". That's a harbinger of...things to come. And the other side is part of a corrupt cabal.

(Note - apologies for the previous email about Thomas Lanza - that was an unfinished article I published accidentally in my haste to send this. I will follow up later today.)

Pro tip: Leave the headline blank until you're ready to send so you can't accidentally publish before you're ready 🙂

I think your lawsuit is much more important to free speech than the reliance on a billionaire. We cannot have our constitution hang on the balance of a bidding war of the uber wealthy. I am hopeful for your lawsuit. When in spring of 2020 I kept seeing opinion pieces that social media platforms were absolutely not bound by the first amendment, I was shocked. Good legal analysis, even those in newspapers, should include arguments from the other side which you then dismantle - that is just integrity. When no counter pieces were published in the papers I subscribed to, I canceled them. I knew something was terribly wrong. Pruneyard v. Robbins establishes that if your business model is, by its nature, aimed at the public, then first amendment analysis applies. Add to this that SCOTUS recognized that California applies heightened first amendment protection, you end up with analysis that trends towards finding first amendment restrictions apply to social media platforms. Judge Thomas's assertion that first amendment restrictions apply, because the media is a mouthpiece for the government, had been too much for me at the time. Now I see he was absolutely right. I just didn't see it in the fog. It is very sad to see the trickery included in the briefs for Twitter. They must be teaching the ends justify the means in law school instead of the duty that you must acknowledge arguments on the other side and dismantle them by legal authority and logic.

Alex, pack your bags you will be heading back onto Twitter very soon.

Remember we the people, for example, Republican voters could buy up board seats, initiate hostile take overs, or take leftist companies private as well.

70M voters x $50 = $3.5B

Step 1 pull your money from blackrock and vanguard ETFs.

Step 2 put your money in something like the American Conservative Values ETF (ACVF)

Step 3 someone create a Republican Activist hedge fund, Republican voters fund it, it fixes leftist companies by “financial force”.

Not an expert, so: does "take private" mean that after the buyout, Twitter will no longer be publicly traded?

Jim Cramer thinks that Twitter allows free speech. We live in clown world.

Hey GOP, your free ride is coming to an end. Dem's, get ready to be bathed in the sunlight of transparency and truth. Let the bells of Liberty ring. Freedom can't be censored. Now I'll get in my American-made, Model S and take it for a spin... Musk is the new adjective for courage.

The left in general is having a meltdown about this, Twitter is their baby….they only tolerate some conservative thought enough to be civil in their minds!

You all realize that this is taxpayer money right?

Elon Musk is a political entrepreneur, makes his living off of the people's taxes.

Get government out of picking-winners (so they can line their own pockets).

End the emergency. The HHS is paying MSM hush money, and promoting government propaganda.

Start the trials: CDC, FDA and HHS need to fill the jails.

Well, Twitter put all kinds of restrictions on Musk if he were to join the board. Soooo they left him no alternative but to buy the darn thing.

if he succeeds, the "reach" of Substack independent journalists will probably quadruple. Links to important stories that were never seen will be seen by many more people. Stories that didn't go viral might go viral. I'm pulling for him, but will be stunned if he succeeds in his stated goal to restore genuine free speech.

Twitter is staring down the barrel

They can change the platform or sell

Either way, Twitter’s days of Stasi-like speech regulation and stifling oversight has reached its ‘ Thelma and Louise’ moment

The deep state dems, and pubs, are already figuring out how to make him disappear.

Elon's purchase would be "safe and effective."

For the great majority of shareholders, who stood by and watched the woke losers take Twitter down the toilet, this is a no brainer. BTW: that is the exit, do not let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

So far all that has happened is that Musk has made money and the censorship has accelerated. I'll believe it when I see it.
