Yes, Twitter’s fight for its anti-free speech principles has lasted as long as Twitter’s previous fight for its pro-free speech principles.
I’d say I’m disappointed, but I’m not.
I’d say I’m surprised, but I’m not.
At this point, to steal a line from Winston Churchill, everyone knows what the little bird is about… now it’s just a matter of haggling over the price.
It’s a head fake, they’re expecting Biden’s DOJ and SEC cabal to jump in and crush Musk … he’s knocked a wheel off the rotten apple cart and they can’t let that happen
Happy this is happening, but it bothers me that in a democracy that we have to hope for the success of a rich man acting morally to save us from the governance of rich people acting corruptly.
Fuck Twitter. I don't care if it's Elon Musk or Jesus Christ that owns it. Twitter is a cancer just like Facebook. The world would be a better place without any type of social media.
I can only speak for me. I was banned from TWATTER for telling / showing the truth. Right about 4 months later, President Trump was banished. I would love nothing more than for President Trump to be back on there if for anything, To shove it right up the ass of each Biden voting leftist that thought banishing President Trump was such a good thing. Doing that, to any President, any, is absolutely vile, and evil.
THANK YOU ELON MUSK! FOR GIVING ME SOMETHING TO DREAM FOR!!!!
The result matters not. Like Trump, the light Musk's offer shines on The System and how it behaves is priceless. The more lights that shine, the more the evil hiding in the shadows is exposed. I care not who holds the lights, just that they turn them on.
At this point in his track record (I loved the time he gave the finger to my Governor- Gavin Newsom) I would encourage Elon to invent some better ‘balls’ that our Republicans can put on and start acting like men with courage and guts.
"Seriously Consider", and on a Sunday morning - this is NO joke, the board has a Big Gun pointed at their collective heads. They now have NO choice. If they haggle over price or flinch just a bit, Elon's 80M (that's a big 'M' of course) Twitter shares will be dumped on the NYSE and that sound will be heard around the 'wok' world, as the Board passes the sword around the room & each commit Hara Kiri. This guy places 3-level chess.
Twit board sells to Elon, he exposes their censorship policies. Twitter board does not sell then they out themselves as motivated by leftist politics and banning free speech. Either way, Twit is screwed.
The people have the power if they use it wisely and look who they are invested with. Everyone who cares about free speech and freedom should be actioning with their investments. Why does anyone invest in Vanguard and Black Rock now? There must be other more worthy companies to invest in who dont wield power with our money.
Allowing all points of view equally, will push the globalists back 20 years. We all would love to see the algorithms, there is nothing proprietary about them, just hidden. "What have they got to hide after all?"
The left is petrified of the prospects. That's why Obama is making the rounds screaming about the dangers of "misinformation" (that's lefty code for free speech).
Excited to see if the cesspool of social media can be transformed. Would love to see FB & IG die off as a result of a free market society & capitalism at work.
Unfortunately I’m waiting for Joe’s government to throw some sort of (likely nebulously legal) monkey wrench in the mix of this offer.
This board meeting is for appearances and to show the judge and jury that they did do their due diligence before saying no to Musk's offer when he sues them. No serious person is falling for this.
So far, Musk does not appear to be a rabid communist. At any rate, his interest in protecting free speech is something foreign to the Big Tech overlords.
Musk's purchase of Twitter is in the be careful what you wish for category. Please check out Musk's connection with the World Economic Forum and statements he made at Davos regarding a one world government and transhumanism.
Twitter has had plenty of time to edit,delete,throw away/change rules and manipulate anything by now hope the sale goes through. This will be a change in the freedom direction.
Twitter always seemed dumb and like all social media, just a place to bully and show off. Therefore, to me it seemed simple. Just stop using it. I tried FB quite a few years back to stay connected to a few distant friends and family. Quickly realized I neither liked nor was remotely interested in 99% of my new "friends". Quit using it. Social media is the cultural cancer of our generations. Walk away. The so called value of these companies will just fizzle into nothing where they belong. But Elon is a pretty smart dude. He'll figure it out.
While everyone has been focused on Musk and Twitter, did you happen to notice the reports of some 20+ major US food processing plants that have been destroyed in the last 6 months by fire, explosions, and small planes? About 12 of the incidents occurred during the last 2 months. Biden talks about USA food shortages and plants burn. Coincidence? Ever stop to think that Musk/ Twitter is an Obama like diversion?
I think YOU fellow contributors are absolutely AMAZING! You know SO much and are so well informed. One thing this whole scamdemic has done is open my eyes to do much TRUTH - about the REAL world we all live in - where the real POWER lies! The Elite, banks, WEF, secret organisations, censorship etc.
The REAL world is not one that most people would recognise and I fear that the powers are unstoppable as they take everything under their total control.
Meanwhile we are trapped here in our little goldfish bowl, distracted by baubles, preaching to the choir, because it's already all we have left.
How do we stop them taking EVERYTHING? Because they WILL be back!!!
The board was about to be sued out of existence due to their lack of fiduciary responsibility to shareholders, so they came to their senses. Nothing more, nothing less.
Plus, no one else is crazy enough to spend $40B+ on a platform that generates almost no margin and enormous headaches.
Might it have something to do with various States discussing possibly suing them for breaching their fiduciary responsibilities? Lots of dough tied up in State pension funds.
Twitter bows to the inevitable
Elon's wit and intelligence astound me daily. His rejoinder to Billy Booster Gates was the best.
It’s a head fake, they’re expecting Biden’s DOJ and SEC cabal to jump in and crush Musk … he’s knocked a wheel off the rotten apple cart and they can’t let that happen
Let freedom tweet!
Regarding the last election, some want to dispute who won, but there's no dispute the real loser was the American people.
Twitter exists to MAKE MONEY. Let the shareholders sue the shit out of the board.
Happy this is happening, but it bothers me that in a democracy that we have to hope for the success of a rich man acting morally to save us from the governance of rich people acting corruptly.
If/when Twitter allows free speech, Twitter employees will have an opportunity to learn about the adverse events of the Twitter-mandated vaccine.
Fuck Twitter. I don't care if it's Elon Musk or Jesus Christ that owns it. Twitter is a cancer just like Facebook. The world would be a better place without any type of social media.
Musk doesn’t lose

The DOJ attempt to crush Musk will not work.
Then, what happens to the Berenson attempt to crush Twitter?
The result matters not. Like Trump, the light Musk's offer shines on The System and how it behaves is priceless. The more lights that shine, the more the evil hiding in the shadows is exposed. I care not who holds the lights, just that they turn them on.
Twitter's board is reconsidering...how tweet it is!
The First Amendment may yet be alive on social media Let’s see if the offer is accepted and the minions who run Twitter now start jumping overboard
The board really has nothing else TO consider.
Money talks and bull…
At this point in his track record (I loved the time he gave the finger to my Governor- Gavin Newsom) I would encourage Elon to invent some better ‘balls’ that our Republicans can put on and start acting like men with courage and guts.
If Elon buys the bird, Alex can settle…the bird admits liability, pays atty fees, plus something on top, agrees to reinstate him, everybody wins
It’s about legal liability as board members. Personal liability trumps collective ideology, even in Leftift-ville.
Not sure he is on the right side of the mRNA technology, from what he has said about it. Let's be careful of billionaires who appear benevolent.
And the Churchill analogy is absolutely perfect; whores one and all!

Does anyone else wonder if Mr. Musk is going to have an 'accident' soon?

Why does anyone invest in Vanguard and Black Rock now? There must be other more worthy companies to invest in who dont wield power with our money.
So relieved capitalism still works. Praise be the greed of Twitter execs, for the common good
Musk owning twitter will not make it any less of a cesspool.
Allowing all points of view equally, will push the globalists back 20 years. We all would love to see the algorithms, there is nothing proprietary about them, just hidden. "What have they got to hide after all?"
Perhaps I should create a bumper sticker stating, "Just Give Elon The Bird!"

You think Elon may let you back on? Hahahaha...
The writing; it's on the wall. Sorry, crybullies. You had a fun time. Don't be sad.

God Bless the man ….. God save him as well. I hope he knows the power viper pit he just walked into. Stay safe Elon.
Musk wants a microchip in all our brains but supports less censorship in the meantime. #hollow-victory

If this happens, we might actually see the left pushing for section 230 reform 🤣🤣🤣

Elon Musk, like most of us, is a double edged sword.
“It’s on America’s tortured brow
That Micky Mouse has grown up a cow...”
Twitter is a distraction from potential famine. Depopulation will be done via the clot shots or apparently famine:

IMO Elon has the Tweety Birds in a cage without a key right now.
Don't want to get my hopes up but this seems like good news to me!
