Where were you on Friday morning, October 28th, 2022? That’s the day Twitter is delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. It’s a private company owned by a guy named Elon Musk. The word is he’s already fired Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and CFO Ned Segal (among other execs. The head of that serpent, if you like.

Not to worry, they will all find jobs elsewhere in the liberal internet world of big tech. Who knows, maybe they’ll start their own “Twitter” because there’s no way they can tolerate the one Musk plans to run.
“My strong intuitive sense is that having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization,” Musk said at the TED2022 Conference in Vancouver in April. “I don’t care about the economics at all.” …
“The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important to the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence,” he wrote. “There is currently great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society.”
He added that he didn’t buy Twitter “to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love.”
How he plans to make that happen remains unclear. Getting rid of the speech police is a good start, and the community standards wing needs a good scrubbing. Twitter also has a plethora of intolerant liberal watchdog panels who guide the standards-Stasi, so expect changes there.Please!
There is no Choice
Libs outside Twitter are already lining up to sue, smear, and harass the man. Sort of an, If I can’t have you, no one can.” The Dems would burn it down rather than let it exist in a manner that might permit any of that free speech mumbo jumbo.

Not to worry. While Musk is no conservative or even a libertarian, he’s no wallflower. And he seems genuine about the effort to secure a space where free speech is honored no matter whose. It’s the sort of thing Big Tech bragged about in the early days before they were lured to the power of the dark side.
Nowadays, anything with which the Left disagrees is hate speech, and they hate that Musk controls Twitter.
October 28th, 2022 – Democrats completely lose their sh!t. A great day indeed.
So, when does Elon start buying up shares of Facebook?
