Have I missed it, but he does not seem to acknowledge the hundreds of thousands of deaths ands serious injuries from the jabs. Steve Kirsh has been all over it.
Alex has been right on much, but dead wrong on Ivermectin, early treatment in general, and long covid as well. Too many people I know have had it, and the fact the spike remains in the blood for so long explains it. (Dr. Peter McCullough. )
He has missed much, too much, and is therefore suspect, in my book.
Needs an education from Dr.s Pierre Kory and Tess Lawrie, and Peter McCullough, for sure.
I always get concerned when someone tells a lot of truth, but then mixes in a "whopper!" All that truth makes the gullible trust them, and then they swallow the big lie without a thought.
Maybe he just wants his old life back and is playing ball?
Alex has the integrity to admit when his first take was inaccurate and corrects himself. Early studies showed clinical benefits of a variety of medications, including Ivermectin, to different stages of covid. He reported study results from the Cleveland, Henry Ford, and Mayo clinics…. He was right to report the results of their studies, and I can’t see holding him responsible for the conclusions of well intentioned scientists that ultimately didn’t hold up.
That’s why we read multiple authors to gain multiple perspectives. No one is right all the time. CEOs are lucky to be correct 40% of the time when making business decisions. And they normally have much more “expert” information available to them. Has Alex made some gaffes? Sure. Castigate him for it online? OK. Free speech allows that. Go sit down with the guy, drink beer together, and then let’s get your final decision. I’m still in.
Election fraud has been happening for as long as there have been "elections". It's just the magnitude that fluctuates, and the methods. ( Not that I give a crap about "elections" in a "Democracy". It's all theater. )
It's still theoretically possible shareholders could reject it. As such and other complications it is hoped and expected to be finalized before the end of the year, but not necessarilybefore mid terms.
As a shareholder, I can guarantee that the offer will not be rejected. In fact, the deal is not even going to shareholders for a vote. Twitter has no choice but to accept this offer. The "poison pill" was a speed bump to see if anyone could counter offer.
Exactly. After the offer is accepted there's still a lot to do before actual full control is transferred. I believe in the new they said the transitionary period could be several months. What does happen immediately as we saw is a kind of lock-down so as to prevent any pirated actions by employees unhappy with the sale.
Alex has his shortcomings, but you are nothing but a shill for the Vaccine Industry. And either you have been duped by the Covid Ploy foisted by the Elitists. Or are their Tool. Either way... Good day to you, sir. The Door is to your left.
HE CAN'T HELP HIMSELF - ONCE A BLUE CHECK, ALWAYS A BLUE CHECK ;)
TWITTERsteria: Best Elon Musk Buys Twitter Hypocrisy Memes (End of the Beginning)
- The Great Reset's Twitter psyop summed up by Churchill: “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” We can only hope...
Dr Malone said the new account that appeared for him is a FAKE and I suspect insiders are involved in helping to create these new accounts after reading this lengthy piece:
The Slime Machine Targeting Libs of Tik Tok
- The tale of how Taylor Lorenz was used like a puppet by German intelligence
Yes this is true, but, look at date for account, they are new accounts, not a restored account. Musk asked for the code to be locked down so, no one could mess with it. So, it's possible no one can stop people from opening a new account, even if they were banned previously?
there is misinformation and disinformation, but let "we the people" make up our own GOD given FREE minds on what is and what is not! The divine gave you a mind for a reason!
Also expelled were Dr Robert Malone, Dr Mike Yeadon, Dr Joel Smalley, Piers Corbyn and more.
If Mike Yeadon returns, it'll be a good test of whether Twitter now believes in the 1st Amendment, he openly discusses matters even other doctors and bio-scientists hesitate to mention.
From my state's unofficial anthem, Sweet Home Alabama: "In Birmingham, they love the governor - "Boo! Boo! Boo!" Twitter could even re-instate an editor like Tracy Beanz at uncoverDC.com - "Boo! Boo! Boo!"
Hopefully that will change. I deleted my account shortly after yours was locked because I want no part of a left wing echo chamber. What they've done to you and so many who dared to speak out against Covid tyranny and insanity, and their bias against conservatives is ridiculous. I truly hope it is a free speech place again. I don't believe in canceling left or right wing voices, nor team apocolypse or team reality. Hope to sign up again myself too when he's cleaned it up.
I feel the same - before the phrase “#ShadowBanned” was heard, I noticed that initial strong interest in my tweets exposing the ten “Rules for Radicals” and promoting my business, all suddenly ended —and, I never had a follower or retweet, again, this just prior to Obama winning his first term…
It will be interesting to see what happens next, when it's finally approved, and what new free speech policies are put in. I'm awaiting the left wing meltdown later in the day. Amazing how some who claim to want "tolerance" and an "open mind" want to just cancel and censor.
The 'left' until a few decades ago was strongly pro-free speech. Most people of that age still are. See, e.g. the UK site www.LeftLockdownSceptics.com.
Therefore, don't say 'left'; say 'authoritarian' or 'totalitarian'. That's what they are. The powers that be have done an excellent 'divide and rule' job, though, by making this debate so confused. I think it's deliberate.
The “progressives,” if you will, have been shutting down speech since the ‘90’s. And the Lefties I know are thrilled that Trump has been banned from Twitter because they believe it’s all for the greater good. (They get to determine what’s good for us all.) So progressives, leftists, autocrats, all birds of a feather.
Good point; somehow it seems though in recent times, many who follow a left-wing ideology have embraced authortairanism. It's odd and chilling; for instance who in their right mind actually enjoys walking about in a face covering all day? Or being locked in their home? At what point did we lose the ability to argue and why does it seem more on the left want to just shut up the other side and censor? Crazy.
It's in the press release: "verify all humans". WEF Digital ID program. EU just told all member states they have until July to get everybody on the Covid Green app, you get a Green if you are vaxxed, recovered, or test negative. These people are not stupid, the imperative is to get people onboarded no matter what, then pull out the rug. Wrong carbon score, oops can't buy groceries. Dangerous OtherThink on Permanent War, oops can't pay your rent. Don't want your 6 year old exposed to anal sex at school, oops can't vote. Forward Soviet!
If they let you back before the lawsuit is over could that cause issues? Also, I hope you prioritize the stack over Twitter. Some of us are not going back to Twitter no matter what.
I was banned around August last year for "Covid misinformation,." There were no specifics. When I appealed, their autogenerated response said they were backed up, but they usually respond to appeals within 48 hours. 9 months later and I still have not heard back. It's almost (almost) like they don't care. 😉
Yeah, me, too. Same issue. It says I could get back on if I delete the tweet, but that doing so spells agreement that I violated Twitter rules. I am sure that I did not and it bothers me greatly that they want to condition users to confess to wrongs they did not do. So I have let it be.
Alex, it is misinformation, as the recent Danish study reviewed by Martin Kulldorf reveals, the injection isn't a therapeutic either. No benefit at all. (Likely negative benefit.)
I reach more people in one day posting in the Zero Hedge Comments section than I do in a year of tweets. The Twitter all-stars all have some trick to get lots of followers. I either don't know those tricks or don't want to take the time to build up followers. This said, I'd like it if the best Twitter users weren't banned and didn't have their news feeds put into low rotation by the algorithms. Lots of tweets and links that should have gone viral did not go viral. Maybe this will now change?
The last "reader count" I saw on ZH for the Musk story had 420,000 page views. If 25 percent of these readers also peruse the Reader Comments, I am reaching 105,000 people with my posts at that site. I used to work for small-town community newspapers, which had paid circulations of about 3,500 subscribers. So I'm actually reaching far more people as an anonymous poster than I ever did as a full-time journalist. I might be reaching just as many readers here as I did as a real journalist!
Elon Musk came up with the best definition of censorship I've seen ... or of real "free speech" - if someone you don't like can post something you don't agree with ... then we have real free speech. I'm also a freelance journalist, but without the audience of Alex. Several of my contrarian Covid articles have been posted at uncoverDC.com. As it turns out the founder and publisher of this site (Tracy Beanz) has also been banned from tweeting. I think she was banned about the same time Trump was. Well, nobody seems to care about some "right-wing kook site" being banned by Twitter ... except for me, a struggling freelance journalist who couldn't get his articles published anywhere else. Tracy Beanz used her Twitter feed to run excerpts of my articles and hopefully get more people to read my articles. I don't think any of these articles included "misinformation." Several giving evidence of likely "early spread" of this virus were pretty important in my opinion. Anyway, when someone like Tracy Beanz is banned it affects someone like me (who has not been banned from Twitter yet). Here's a story I wrote that uncoverDC did publish. The topic is about all of the mainstream news organizations who refused to publish one of my stories. So I find it ironic that the one site that does believe in a free press (when it came to my journalism) was banned from Twitter. Of the 25 news organizations who rejected my big (non) scoop story, none of them have come to Tracy Beanz's defense and protested her banning from Twitter.
Yes, you're definitely missing the point. I'll explain.
Alex is a journalist.
A plurality of journalists use Twitter. (Whether or not you agree with them is irrelevant.)
It's regarded as a critical tool for not only journalists, but also for government officials and people who like cats.
It's also an important tool leveraged by the left to prevent people from saying things they don't like--things such as "H holds 10% for the big guy," "vaccines don't work," and "Trump won."
Moving forward, it's looking much more promising that shit like that won't be happening anymore.
I don't love Twitter. But I understand its importance in the media ecosystem as it exists today, which means I understand why Alex wants to be able to post on that medium.
And there is the critical issue of free speech. Alex is fighting a monumental battle for free speech, not only for himself, but for all of us who value it. We need to support him in his quest to be reinstated on Twitter if for no other reason than that.
My guess is that Elon will be restructuring Twitter's business model. Surely you have seen that he recently suggested that the price was too high, subscribers should get a blue check mark to verify their identity, and the website should be ad-free for those who pay. Dude is coming with ideas. Who knows which ones will actually come to fruition?
The point is, he is making changes. And he moves fast.
Hmmm. We seem to be in a minority. I too am somewhat skeptical about the value of a 'new improved' twitter. (I was not impressed with version 1 either!) In the Orwellian world we inhabit, "new and improved" seems to be doublespeak for 'repackaged'. I think I will reserve judgement on the issue until we see what Elon the Great actually does with his new toy. And maybe the hordes of the 'cancelled' would be well advised to wait a little while too.
Just tweeted congratulations to #ElonMusk over his acquisition… lost all my Twitter traffic when I quoted #RulesForRadicals repeatedly to expose Obama in his first campaign - I’ll go back if Elon cleans Twitter up
If Elon can raise $45 billion, maybe he can come up with just $4 million to fund a news organization that actually investigates all the 200 off-limits stories?
Last week I was locked off of Twitter for posting my Substack article where I was criticizing Dr. Ardis' snake venom claims. Apparently that was considered COVID misinformation. I didn't realize criticizing misinformation can itself be considered misinformation. I find it more hilarious than anything, and it mostly highlights why we should limit our use of social media more than become dependent on it.
Hey Alex, didn't you get richer by joining Substack after Twitter dumped you? Or at least your subscription based must've increased (including my annual 60 bucks or whatever). A new Twitter could be bad for you.
Good ! The Great Divider, started this cancel stuff in his first term on Steroids ! And like the Energizer Bunny he keeps going and going , but he’s not a bunny he’s an evil POS
This is Obama’s third term with all the corrupt losers ! Joe was empty and they thought he would obey … they didn’t want to see his dementia, he can’t help going off script , that’s why the “real”Easter Bunny escorted him away ! God help us !
Do you think Elon will ask you to drop the lawsuit in exchange for getting back on Twitter? If you’re successful in the lawsuit could others follow? Twitter would be liable for mucho dinero
Most of my audience is well aware that the World Economic Forum’s “Young Global Leader” initiative has yielded some of the most powerful people in the world. From leaders like Justin Trudeau and Gavin Newsom to tech giants like Larry Page and Mark Zuckerberg, the disciples of Klaus Schwab and the New World Order make up a huge chunk of control over our world today.
What many may not know is that Elon Musk is among them. I don’t hold it against you if you didn’t know because there seems to have been a concerted effort to hide this fact. Searching on Google and other platforms for information about just about any of the previous graduates of Schwab’s school of globalism reveals tons of information, but a similar search for Musk’s participation is conspicuously slim. I had to go back to a 2008 Bloomberg article to find it.
In an article titled “Young Global Leaders–Anderson Cooper and Leonardo DiCaprio Are In The Most Exclusive Private Social Network In The World” by Bruce Nussbaum published March 17, 2008, it’s revealed that, “Elon Musk, the chairman of Tesla Motors, the much-publicized electric sports-car company, is a new YGL.”
Elon is going to face the same subversive elements in the Twitter organization that Trump faced in the Gub'ment Deep State... They will attempt to subvert his every move/desire to re-open Twitter just like the bureacrats did when Trump was in office.
I hope he has a plan for how to clean house and put "his" people in place to make this happen quickly. But as a CP (confirmed pessimist ) - I am doubtful.
It took a while to create this mess - gonna take a while to clean it up.
Yes, Elon is going to have huge challenges making Twitter into a free speech platform. There are very very powerful forces that will try to stop him. But I think he can do it.
Geez Alex, do you think the ink has even dried yet? Lol
You mean announcing the purchase of a company does not automatically propagate a bunch of code changes through the entire infrastructure?
Alex has been correct about everything covid. The proof of this is his ouster from Twitter.
Hopefully Elon Musk will foster Alex’s triumphant return to Twitter following Alex’s historic and wholly unfair forced retirement from the platform.
Right about a lot of things, but not everything.
Have I missed it, but he does not seem to acknowledge the hundreds of thousands of deaths ands serious injuries from the jabs. Steve Kirsh has been all over it.
I agree.
Pfft... gibberish
What does that mean? Have you not seen any info on the massive deaths and injuries from the vaccine....actually triple vaxxed are more LIKELY TO DIE>
Alex has been right on much, but dead wrong on Ivermectin, early treatment in general, and long covid as well. Too many people I know have had it, and the fact the spike remains in the blood for so long explains it. (Dr. Peter McCullough. )
He has missed much, too much, and is therefore suspect, in my book.
Needs an education from Dr.s Pierre Kory and Tess Lawrie, and Peter McCullough, for sure.
I always get concerned when someone tells a lot of truth, but then mixes in a "whopper!" All that truth makes the gullible trust them, and then they swallow the big lie without a thought.
Maybe he just wants his old life back and is playing ball?
JAT.
Alex has the integrity to admit when his first take was inaccurate and corrects himself. Early studies showed clinical benefits of a variety of medications, including Ivermectin, to different stages of covid. He reported study results from the Cleveland, Henry Ford, and Mayo clinics…. He was right to report the results of their studies, and I can’t see holding him responsible for the conclusions of well intentioned scientists that ultimately didn’t hold up.
Compared to Fauci, he is a modern day Einstein.
I must have missed it. Exactly when did he acknowledge the efficacy of Invermectin?
I was shocked to see the same LewRockwell.com that features Alex trot out the old " Animal Medicine" nonsense just today.
I don’t think he did.
That’s why we read multiple authors to gain multiple perspectives. No one is right all the time. CEOs are lucky to be correct 40% of the time when making business decisions. And they normally have much more “expert” information available to them. Has Alex made some gaffes? Sure. Castigate him for it online? OK. Free speech allows that. Go sit down with the guy, drink beer together, and then let’s get your final decision. I’m still in.
Me too, as in Paul of the New Testament mixing Gods truth with his own BS to make it go down sweetly.
Wait what does the Bible have to do with this thread?
Alex gets a complimentary Neuralink installed upon reinstatement. It could make him smarter.
If we suddenly see posts about election fraud, we'll know he's a beta tester.
The mere "Prediction" of an "election characterized by fraud" months before the election received a permanent and unappealable ban.
Twitter was way ahead of the reality and knew the fix was in, crushing even speculative posts
I dont think Alex EVER thought there was election fraud...LOL.
Election fraud has been happening for as long as there have been "elections". It's just the magnitude that fluctuates, and the methods. ( Not that I give a crap about "elections" in a "Democracy". It's all theater. )
Not everything. Some. Not all.
I agree.
It's still theoretically possible shareholders could reject it. As such and other complications it is hoped and expected to be finalized before the end of the year, but not necessarilybefore mid terms.
As a shareholder, I can guarantee that the offer will not be rejected. In fact, the deal is not even going to shareholders for a vote. Twitter has no choice but to accept this offer. The "poison pill" was a speed bump to see if anyone could counter offer.
Which is why I said " theoretically, but thanks for an inside perspective.
The main point is mergers don't move with lightning speed and it isn't going to be concluded anytime " soon" and surely not ' in a few days".
Exactly. After the offer is accepted there's still a lot to do before actual full control is transferred. I believe in the new they said the transitionary period could be several months. What does happen immediately as we saw is a kind of lock-down so as to prevent any pirated actions by employees unhappy with the sale.
I’m more concerned about what happens to substack if Twitter returns to allowing full on free speech. That’s why we’re all over here now.
I think Facebook has a lot more to fear than Substack has.
I just hope Elon continues to be successful in throwing off those seeking to track his movements
be careful folks, Berenson is a fraud and grifter: https://swprs.org/unreported-truths/
Alex has his shortcomings, but you are nothing but a shill for the Vaccine Industry. And either you have been duped by the Covid Ploy foisted by the Elitists. Or are their Tool. Either way... Good day to you, sir. The Door is to your left.
Hopefully, he can push it through before the deal wraps up.
Realistically, it's part of the liabilities Musk assumed along with the assets.
I think the effect is as unpredictable as lawsuits generally are in themselves.
They accepted the offer, the sale hasn't finalized yet. It'll take time especially Twitter is going fully private.
Yes but looking at it today plenty of people seem to think it will! The tweets of people "testing" it are hilarious...
As a "banned" individual, I am missing the fun :(
They re-enabled the algorithm
That was my first thought: Give Elon a couple days. Besides, all the whining wokesters on the Twitter staff need time to quit.
May they all find themselves jobless. Especially the "factcheckers". Good Riddance.
RioRosie.. all the whining wokesters will need therapy when their convulsions subside.. if that ever happens
They'll need their blankies and a safe space.
No, promote suicide, it will save us from the whining later.
It's going to be longer than that. It is hoped to be finalized in this calendar year, but it could be 2023.
Yup
I'm not a Politician ,biologist, computer engineer, a businessman or a billionaire but I know this is a good move.
But I will bet you know what a woman is ;)
Anthony. I sorta think you’re better than all you just listed , most especially 1 and 2 .
Not to mention the house cleaning.
Haha this exactly what I thought too. 😂
HE CAN'T HELP HIMSELF - ONCE A BLUE CHECK, ALWAYS A BLUE CHECK ;)

You’ll be back. It takes time for Elon to fire all the censorship crazed employees and hire freedom loving programmers
Read: fire ALL the employees. Bye bye punk asses. The very definition of inclusion.
stay away from tall bldgs. in NYC Boston and LA - falling body warnings !!!
I smell a possible career change ...
You'll get back. And revenge will be tweet! :-)
LOL! I love it. I just Tweeted @elonmusk Please reinstate @alexberenson & @mercola...there is no misinformation, just more information!
there is misinformation and disinformation, but let "we the people" make up our own GOD given FREE minds on what is and what is not! The divine gave you a mind for a reason!
And He was so kind as to give us the Bible to check everything.
Choose your sources wisely

Absolutely!
Great tweet✔️ And of course restore Trumps account plus issue apologies to all you mention also - on behalf of Twitter !
YES!!! There are so many that were unfairly banned. Today is a great day!
From my state's unofficial anthem, Sweet Home Alabama: "In Birmingham, they love the governor - "Boo! Boo! Boo!" Twitter could even re-instate an editor like Tracy Beanz at uncoverDC.com - "Boo! Boo! Boo!"
Alex Jones
Once the Babylon Bee is unsuspended, check back. 😀
Maybe!
It's always an egregious overstep, the hubris and belief they are invincible that brings down a tyrant
BUT BUT BUT the Babylon Bee is not staffed by biologists... So they were wrong ;)
Well, you can't move into a house until you close either. Soon I hope.
Hopefully that will change. I deleted my account shortly after yours was locked because I want no part of a left wing echo chamber. What they've done to you and so many who dared to speak out against Covid tyranny and insanity, and their bias against conservatives is ridiculous. I truly hope it is a free speech place again. I don't believe in canceling left or right wing voices, nor team apocolypse or team reality. Hope to sign up again myself too when he's cleaned it up.
I feel the same - before the phrase “#ShadowBanned” was heard, I noticed that initial strong interest in my tweets exposing the ten “Rules for Radicals” and promoting my business, all suddenly ended —and, I never had a follower or retweet, again, this just prior to Obama winning his first term…
Amen, Father.
It will be interesting to see what happens next, when it's finally approved, and what new free speech policies are put in. I'm awaiting the left wing meltdown later in the day. Amazing how some who claim to want "tolerance" and an "open mind" want to just cancel and censor.
I do wish people would use clearer terminology.
The 'left' until a few decades ago was strongly pro-free speech. Most people of that age still are. See, e.g. the UK site www.LeftLockdownSceptics.com.

Elon is eating lunch - give him an hour and check back. :)
I have doubts about Elon...time shall tell if my doubts are warranted.
Trans human dude . No thanks to that.
It's in the press release: "verify all humans". WEF Digital ID program. EU just told all member states they have until July to get everybody on the Covid Green app, you get a Green if you are vaxxed, recovered, or test negative.

I agree
Modern cars all have black boxes that track speed and location. Not just Tesla.
In general I find Elon interesting. Not a fan of a lot of his ventures or statements, but I can't fault his position on this.
Maybe not a good day to be Gab or the other startups.
But, will Amazon, Apple, Google etc attempt to deplatform the twitter platform itself? I assume Elon has a plan for that involving his satellites 🛰
It'll be fun to watch, but I can't because I got banned without appeal
i`m banned for saying the "woman" Of the year Rachel Levine
If they let you back before the lawsuit is over could that cause issues? Also, I hope you prioritize the stack over Twitter. Some of us are not going back to Twitter no matter what.
I left after Trump got canceled
trump was the man.
a real freedom fighter.
ivanka will continue his cause.
Give him a minute lol
🤣 Yes. Maybe even 5!
Anyone who doesn’t like Musk buying Twitter can go build their own Twitter.
If I join Twitter to join the party, my fingers will be sore from typing this.
I was banned around August last year for "Covid misinformation,." There were no specifics. When I appealed, their autogenerated response said they were backed up, but they usually respond to appeals within 48 hours. 9 months later and I still have not heard back.

I didn't even get that option. I don't even know which tweet lol. But good for you to hold to your principles.
Alex, it is misinformation, as the recent Danish study reviewed by Martin Kulldorf reveals, the injection isn't a therapeutic either. No benefit at all. (Likely negative benefit.)
Like substack better than Twitter. And substack did not let us down.
I've never liked Twitter. I've always been at a loss about its popularity. I think it's just a follow the cool crowd thing.
I reach more people in one day posting in the Zero Hedge Comments section than I do in a year of tweets. The Twitter all-stars all have some trick to get lots of followers. I either don't know those tricks or don't want to take the time to build up followers.

So I'm actually reaching far more people as an anonymous poster than I ever did as a full-time journalist. I might be reaching just as many readers here as I did as a real journalist!
It's for morons.
You’ll get back on soon, Alex! Let’s hope that the Babylon Bee, Tucker Carlson, and President Trump will be back soon, too!
Elon Musk came up with the best definition of censorship I've seen ... or of real "free speech" - if someone you don't like can post something you don't agree with ... then we have real free speech.

Thanks ... had it in January myself
Twitter is for the weak.
I got banned in Spring 2020... move on Alex. And Musk ain't my Savior.
Jesus is, and Blessed Virgin Mary is always watching over me.
Twitter is a trap...
It's a good opportunity to keep your friends close--but your enemies closer.
Received my permanent ban last week. Wonder if there will be amnesty for the silenced.
When you authenticate your true self on Twitter, will you keep your Butts name? Or did your mother really agree with that fine name.
Yep, mum is a funny one.
I came across a Boots Montana, once.
Ha, ha. I got a friend name Buzz. But hardly anyone knows his real name. At least yours is official.
Watching you run back into the abusive relationship with open arms is a little disgusting.
I think you may be missing the point.
Or maybe I understand it completely but am still disgusted to see Alex pretending that Twitter is the pinnacle of society.
Yes, you're definitely missing the point. I'll explain.
Alex is a journalist.
A plurality of journalists use Twitter. (Whether or not you agree with them is irrelevant.)
It's regarded as a critical tool for not only journalists, but also for government officials and people who like cats.
It's also an important tool leveraged by the left to prevent people from saying things they don't like--things such as "H holds 10% for the big guy," "vaccines don't work," and "Trump won."
Moving forward, it's looking much more promising that shit like that won't be happening anymore.
I hope you're right.
WOOF!!!!
I see. Idiots love it so we should, too.
I don't love Twitter. But I understand its importance in the media ecosystem as it exists today, which means I understand why Alex wants to be able to post on that medium.
And there is the critical issue of free speech. Alex is fighting a monumental battle for free speech, not only for himself, but for all of us who value it. We need to support him in his quest to be reinstated on Twitter if for no other reason than that.
You may speak for yourself. No one ever dictated that you must love Twitter.
Yet here you are, commenting when I say I don't love Twitter.
My guess is that Elon will be restructuring Twitter's business model. Surely you have seen that he recently suggested that the price was too high, subscribers should get a blue check mark to verify their identity, and the website should be ad-free for those who pay. Dude is coming with ideas. Who knows which ones will actually come to fruition?
The point is, he is making changes. And he moves fast.
Hmmm. We seem to be in a minority. I too am somewhat skeptical about the value of a 'new improved' twitter. (I was not impressed with version 1 either!) In the Orwellian world we inhabit, "new and improved" seems to be doublespeak for 'repackaged'. I think I will reserve judgement on the issue until we see what Elon the Great actually does with his new toy. And maybe the hordes of the 'cancelled' would be well advised to wait a little while too.
He's busy looking for $54 Billion.
He’s had all the money lined up for the last 72 hours. Please keep up.
I would pay the entire 44 billion in pennies to spite the prior tyrannical overlords
funny!
And by my estimation, Musk made about $1.2 to $1.5 billion on his 9% stake. Not bad.
Twitter could now go to zero and he would *still* be the richest man on Sammler's planet
It certainly helps to make money if you’ve got money.
He's had the money for several day... stay on top of things if you want to comment and look educated :-)
Hear Hear!! Correct you are my friend.
He already found it.
You do know the deal was done for $44B, right?
Huh...maybe not.
72 hours ago, he had $45 to 46 Billion firmly lined up..
Just tweeted congratulations to #ElonMusk over his acquisition… lost all my Twitter traffic when I quoted #RulesForRadicals repeatedly to expose Obama in his first campaign - I’ll go back if Elon cleans Twitter up
Jeez. Give it a minute.
The deal hasn't closed yet. Patience!
Give Elon a little time. I think Twitter will shake and shimmy from top to bottom ... as it should.
If Elon can raise $45 billion, maybe he can come up with just $4 million to fund a news organization that actually investigates all the 200 off-limits stories?
Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of reckoning.
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day.
Last week I was locked off of Twitter for posting my Substack article where I was criticizing Dr. Ardis' snake venom claims. Apparently that was considered COVID misinformation. I didn't realize criticizing misinformation can itself be considered misinformation. I find it more hilarious than anything, and it mostly highlights why we should limit our use of social media more than become dependent on it.
1st he needs to get his Mars rocket finished, and then he can put the censors on a one-way trip.
We know you're smarter than this...c'mon man.
Maybe New Twitter will ban tge NYT, CDC, NIH for misinformation? The receipts are available.
Hey Alex, didn't you get richer by joining Substack after Twitter dumped you? Or at least your subscription based must've increased (including my annual 60 bucks or whatever). A new Twitter could be bad for you.
So am I. Will wait a while to appeal my permanent ban. Twitter fascists.
Same!
he should offer you the CEO role. OR something key..
Lord Obama isn't going to be happy.
Good ! The Great Divider, started this cancel stuff in his first term on Steroids ! And like the Energizer Bunny he keeps going and going , but he’s not a bunny he’s an evil POS
Are you referring to our ex-Cunt In Chief?
Yes, that would be the asshole in question.
Sith Lords are not my concern
This is Obama’s third term with all the corrupt losers ! Joe was empty and they thought he would obey … they didn’t want to see his dementia, he can’t help going off script , that’s why the “real”Easter Bunny escorted him away ! God help us !
Tick, tick, tick….
Do you think Elon will ask you to drop the lawsuit in exchange for getting back on Twitter? If you’re successful in the lawsuit could others follow? Twitter would be liable for mucho dinero
I was suspended for saying I wish my beagle could sink her teeth into Fauci’s ass. Suspended for a tweet that “incited violence”
Elon Musk Is a Former Klaus Schwab WEF Young Global Leader
https://www.americaoutloud.com/elon-musk-is-a-former-klaus-schwab-wef-young-global-leader/
Most of my audience is well aware that the World Economic Forum’s “Young Global Leader” initiative has yielded some of the most powerful people in the world. From leaders like Justin Trudeau and Gavin Newsom to tech giants like Larry Page and Mark Zuckerberg, the disciples of Klaus Schwab and the New World Order make up a huge chunk of control over our world today.
What many may not know is that Elon Musk is among them. I don’t hold it against you if you didn’t know because there seems to have been a concerted effort to hide this fact. Searching on Google and other platforms for information about just about any of the previous graduates of Schwab’s school of globalism reveals tons of information, but a similar search for Musk’s participation is conspicuously slim. I had to go back to a 2008 Bloomberg article to find it.
In an article titled “Young Global Leaders–Anderson Cooper and Leonardo DiCaprio Are In The Most Exclusive Private Social Network In The World” by Bruce Nussbaum published March 17, 2008, it’s revealed that, “Elon Musk, the chairman of Tesla Motors, the much-publicized electric sports-car company, is a new YGL.”
From article
Mr. Berenson is making a point.
Patience, Grasshopper.
Anyone who uses Twitter, FB or Email is to young to know better.
You DO understand this:
Elon is going to face the same subversive elements in the Twitter organization that Trump faced in the Gub'ment Deep State... They will attempt to subvert his every move/desire to re-open Twitter just like the bureacrats did when Trump was in office.
I hope he has a plan for how to clean house and put "his" people in place to make this happen quickly. But as a CP (confirmed pessimist ) - I am doubtful.
It took a while to create this mess - gonna take a while to clean it up.
Yes, Elon is going to have huge challenges making Twitter into a free speech platform. There are very very powerful forces that will try to stop him. But I think he can do it.
I love Substack but I want you back on Twitter Alex...Babylon Bee and Trump too.
Dude they haven't even reinstated a former President of the United States yet. Be patient.
Does everybody who’s been banned get their old accounts back?
So you figure the management is seeking to reinstate all banned tweeters before the deal is consummated ? They are busy with resumes
Give it time Alex you and the don will be back - make a big splash when you arrive!!! Be crafty and thoughtful. Covid is over. Whats your next gig?
Now, now Alex. Patience. Free speech will return.
Patience is a virtue!
Musk is more likely to fix things than All Talk Jack was, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the storming of the Twitter Bastille
