Musk bought Twitter. Why is the left so terrified that a libertarian ( doing more to help the environment than just about anyone on the planet) bought Twitter? does the left really feel they can’t win if both sides get to speak?
sure seems like that’s what they think.

Free speach is one thing, promoting false and blatant lies, which is Trumps MO, along with so many others, is why everyone should be concerned about where this is going today and for our future. The days of reporters and networks reporting truth and facts so the public can evaluate how to interpret them is long gone. The internet has become a blessing and a curse.

are you in favor of censoring truth, such as when the hunter biden laptop story was shut down?

I’m in favor of stories vetted for factual basis being allowed on any platform, regardless of implications, but not someone tweeting it exists because they heard it from John who never lies and then the lie gets worse every time it’s tweeted; sort of like the fish stories I’ve heard.

fair enough. but we should hold both sides tom the same standard. we dont.
how many twitter tweets are out there, saying that cops are a bunch of racist assassins? or that republicans hate women, hate blacks, blah blah blah.

"How is that relevant to the topic "
From the guy who brings every topic to Trump.
"Ps Trump says he won’t return to Twitter if his account is reinstated"
See?
"And Musk is playing you like Trump he’s no savior"
I've never been on Twitter, he's not manipulating me.
He's the savior of Tesla. How do you know what he'll do or not do with Twitter? Your extensive knowledge of running huge companies? Musk is making the left look afraid of free speech. He's making them look bad, so you don't like him. We get it.

Musk's free speech advocacy seems to apply mostly to his own speech or that of his fans and promoters.
When it comes to his employees' free speech, Musk demonstrates little tolerance.
Musk has repeatedly sought control over what journalists, bloggers, analysts and other researchers say about his businesses, their products, and himself.
Jim chasing false idols who you think support your vision of the world
A quick google search is all it takes
Musk and Tesla have also asked reporters to sign NDAs or show story drafts to the company to obtain approvals before publishing.
Free speech and transparency on display
Tesla Inc. wiped roughly $126 billion off its valuation Tuesday as the stock fell 12% on investors’ concern that Elon Musk may sell shares to complete his $44 billion takeover of Twitter Inc.

so you pick one bad day for tesla, trying to show that Musk isnt a next generation genius. what’s tesla’s return over ANY meaningful time horizon? insane, that’s what it is.
the entire sp500 is down 13% from its high, and it’s not done falling. not by a long shot.
that’s on Biden.
Musk said he hopes the people who hate him the most, stay in Twitter. So much for it just being about himself
yiu just keep making it up as you go. and 90% of it is nonsensical gibberish.
Elon Musk isn’t a good businessman. Gotcha.
Musk isn’t an idol
i’m chasing. but i’m enjoying watching Musk drive your side bonkers. Not that it takes much to
do that.
