Question

I love it! now the News media can't protect Joe Biden anymore.

hi_it_is_me123 · Accepted Answer

Now he will control the media.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

It's a baby step in the right direction. None of us that value a return to decency should rest on our laurels. Elon's takeover is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

The Shrieking Eels think, and "reason" like playground bullies. They consider themselves "oppressed" by the buyout, because it means they don't get to be the oppressors. Zero sum, all or nothing cry-bullies.

Wokeism is all about taking every demonic lie ever crafted, and using it to spawn a political action fervor they can hide under, like bugs hiding under a rock, and pretend like this gives virtue to their bloodlust.

In the end, they need human sacrifice to appease their own deranged egos. Woke Twitter gave them the perfect way to do that. But they got greedy, and misused the platform's influence to get other companies to resort to doing things of questionable legality to undermine and destroy competitors, such as Parler.

Their message to anyone who had literally any reason to disagree with their cult views on any subject: "We will not allow you even one square inch of this planet to live in peace, until we have either destroyed you, or assimilated you to our equivalent of the Borg!"

Which is also how Pooh runs China. Locals never outright condemn it on the news in the west, because they'd be brutally and sadistically murdered in a Shanghai prison cell if they were honest. Pooh can never be tortured enough to equal out the atrocities against the innocent he's already stained his hands with! Second only to Mao, Xi stands as possibly the most evil man that ever lived. And many don't want to believe it's even possible!

Yet, this is why we need to get more youths to form private militias. Use the opportunity that homeschooling affords. Because Team Biden is just gonna put a lot of you in a FEMA guillotine anyway, because Lord Schwab has declared you unfit to exist, because Soylent Green or whatever. At least give these lawless snakes a better reason to want you dead!

My point is, if liberty isn't guarded vigilantly, Tweets will soon be meaningless.

Honestly, I don't care, the rich control us. I don't like him but I don't hate him either. But this whole notion of free speech is really stupid. Free speech means understanding the right morals and ethics of life. For example, if people on national television support Ukraine (which I do) and say we need to stand up against tyranny and injustice but are silent against Palestine... People are picking and choosing what they view as "freedom of speech". People can't push their own personal biases aside and that's the problem. There are racist people here on GAG who don't like Black people or Muslim people, but if a Muslim person helped them by giving them food or some money because they are short of cash or struggling will their perception change? I don't know.

Even I know freedom of speech does not mean I lash out at others who are or are not vaccinated, who wear a mask or don't wear a mask. I am not tied to hundreds or thousands of ideologies because I know this system is bullshit -- capitalism or communism. It was to favour a certain class yet we use our 'twitter fingers' to voice our concerns about politicians we adore (based on bias/preference), why? It doesn't solve anything and that person is not richer either. Freedom of speech has limits, if it involves hate, it's not free speech. If someone did a crime or something terrible, yea free speech can be said. This world is divided. But more hate could erupt from 'freedom of speech'.

Anonymous · Answer

Sage,

I just Googled it, and it's not finalized, but it could be announced today.

What are my thoughts? If it happens, the Dims are going to shit bricks, and I love when they shit bricks. I've been watching the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC crying about this for a couple of weeks. They say that the end of democracy is near, because Elon believes in free speech. lol

November is already going to be a blood bath for the woke left, and if Trump gets back on Twitter, they will all just crawl into their safe spaces, and rock in the fetal position. lol

It's official - Elon Musk bought Twitter. What are your thoughts?

BCA6010 · Answer

As I said before, I don't use nor do I ever plan to use Twitter regardless of who owns it, but from the standpoint of promoting actual free speech and public discourse, it's very likely that this will be a good thing for the general public, and less so for those who try to weaponize the platform for censorship. It's probably overly optimistic to believe this could lead to more competitive practices from other forms of social media, especially since Twitter is relatively small compared to say Facebook/Meta and TikTok.

It's rather pathetic though that it took a billionaire making a literal "deal you can't refuse" to make any meaningful change on a platform that has been in observable decline for years.

Lliam · Answer

It can only be a good thing if he ends political censorship on that platform.
Censorship is one of the greatest threats to humanity. It makes monopolization of information possible. An informed electorate is a prerequisite for freedom and democracy.

The U. S. Declaration of Independence talks about natural, self evident, unalienable rights of all people. The Bill of rights did not "grant rights", it merely listed some of the rights that the government may not infringe upon. Since that document was ratified, ass holes have tried incessantly to infringe upon human rights. Fuck them.

I HATE censorship and the Democratic party that has become its champion. I value liberty and the right to gather information and make up my own mind on issues.

Kaneki05 · Answer

I am more confused to why conservatives are acting happy about this... They do know Elon musk is left as hell and is dating grimes which they've called their children weird alien names for the exact purpose of been "progressive."
But for some reason right wings are going "yah this gonna lead to freedom of speech for our conservative views."
Like Elon at some point became Trump?

Anyway myself couldn't care. I am left myself but Elon musk has never had my respect. To me it's no different to saying Jeff bezos bought it. Like what on earth do I care other than it's a big waste of money that if rich people won't so tonedeaf and out of touch of reality that could of gone to much better things.

Guy13 · Answer

Change of hands to a “disguised Leftist” who has the Right pushing him into President. Musk’s money is in Leftist, anti-Oil independence, therefore, this Boys leanings are Leftists. He’s going to crackdown in a way this country can’t imagine. ALWAYS FOLLOW MONEY TRAIL ‼️
—It’s going to come together quite nicely in 2028 AOC President and Musk meet Businessmen Media and Government.
—OIL and freedom to move, drive, shop, use electric and electronics will be done. Smart power, tv, cell done in flip of “fuse box” switch ✔️.

globetrotter22 · Answer

That is EXCELLENT news and way overdue. Musk is going to crack down on the bullshit leftist censorship. This blatant Marxism by tech giants is horrifying and disgusting. Twitter completely blew this out of the water when they censored the true Hunter Biden story. They also deleted the conservative satire account the Babylon Bee. Again it was SATIRE and they deleted it anyway. Elon Musk was a fan of that account and that was what pushed him over the edge.

I don’t want Twitter or any other social media platform going completely conservative. I just want fairness. It’s time to give cancel culture a hard punch in the face.

Anonymous · Answer

It's probably a good thing on net. Free speech is the single most valuable thing we have. It is the key to solving all problems.

The real question is will the other Gatekeepers such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Bank of America, Comcast, various Government agencies etc... now start marginalizing twitter's market and finance access?

To the people who clime to the top of theses organizations freedom of speech is a very dangerous thing, because it threatens their control of the public behavior that secures their position.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I hope he restores some free speech in the digital world!

MCheetah · Answer

He just spent $44 billion on the world's biggest toilet.
Even if it has completely good intentions, Twitter can't be saved. Its users are toxic and most of the people on there are bots. Twitter only exists as a propaganda tool for corporations to use to cancel people with and spread misinformation under the guise of it coming from "normal people." So unless he bought Twitter to purge it from society, I don't see what the point is.

Snsl153 · Answer

Yay! Woo-hoo! Let's celebrate! For FREE expression and diversity of opinion (the only form of "diversity" that in my opinion actually matters). Finally some GOOD news for a change. :D <3 <3 <3 :)

connemara_crocodile · Answer

Currently I cannot hate twitter anymore and their "free press" dream that devolved into a dictatorship that blocks any individual that has a "wrong" opinion.

So Elon Musk can only change it for better, so I'm happy about it.

sawno · Answer

Time will tell, but i generally prefer private company's over the big investors and with his vouch to allow proper debate and untwist the algorytms we might be returning to a better era.

Problem is the government doesn't enjoy freedom and may force him to censor again. So he will have to find a good way around that or his investment is worth nothing.

Lionman95 · Answer

I think he's making himself illusions about being able to bring up free speech.
Because twitter still has to follow the common laws and if a government decides that twitter is breaking them they can still shut down the whole thing no matter if who owns twitter.

Кураж · Answer

Probably will go down in history as the dumbest business decision since the time when Yahoo! bought Tumblr for 700 million.
But I don't care either way, I can't care less about Musk and I don't use Twitter because it's garbage.

That being said, I don't see how not moderating content any longer could possibly benefit the site.
The biggest problem of Twitter is that the user content is cancerous shit, there being even more of it seems kind of counterproductive to me, but ok.

SomeGuyCalledTom · Answer

It'll be amusing to watch the anti- free speech crowd lose their shit and try to "cancel" Musk over this. (They will fail of course.)

exitseven · Answer

I think a lot of really interesting stuff will come out. He will turn the company around and make it what it was supposed to be. It will be a platform for all viewpoints.

Anonymous · Answer

good riddens that the people who ran that site are on the way out , when the internet first came out in the 90's it was all about freedom and was never censorship or fear of being kicked off sites back then. these people ruined the internet and were trying to turn it into something that only yielded political benefits for the people they supported. musk was right that it needs new direction and that freedom of speech is more important

DWornock · Answer

Hopefully it is a very good thing. The only way you can know the truth is if all views, opinions, facts and arguments, can be freely expressed. Of course the powers are not going to want to hear that on average blacks commit more crime and have lower IQs and that while women earn less than men when all factors are considered women's salaries are equal to or even greater then men's salaries for identical work.

lightbulb27 · Answer

Good. There is hope for at least a little while. It’s very dangerous how the media is so controlled over the years… we see how this can go bad. He’s decent human so works for how.

Anonymous · Answer

I never really liked Twitter to be honest, it doesn't work right in my opinion.
He should buy Gag and give us the ability to fix our spelling mistakes.
Or he should buy Instagram and shut it down.
He should shut down Twitter and Facefuck too.

Anonymous · Answer

My guess is it'll be a lot better under his management. Also the shareholders got more money than it was worth before he bought it. Sounds like win-win to me. Even the crappy management team stands to get a huge payout on their way out the door. So I'm not sure who's upset about this.

007kingifrit · Answer

that's nice maybe, but our free speech online should not be at the whim of who buys what. we need a digital bill of rights

joeldalton · Answer

Can't wait to hear the whining from the leftists. I may open my account back up if he turns it around.

its_amelia_c · Answer

Good on him! He’s the richest man in the world! Clearly he’s done something VERY right! Wish I was in his shoes. Had his smarts, even a quarter of them!

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Great!! Free at last! Free at last! Thank Buddha all mighty, we're free at last!!
It's great that he got it but, it doesn't really effect me either way. I almost never use it. What's the bloody point? You can't write more than about 30 words.

cth96190 · Answer

I am pleased. This will be when we learn whether or not Elon is a good man who believes in freedom, fair play and truth, or a leftard schill of the New World Order.

penteractgaming · Answer

Its going to become an even worse dumpster fire than it already is and on top of that, Musk didn't do this out of altruism, he has to make enough profit from it to justify buying it somehow and the most likely way to do that is further monetization.

CasaNorba · Answer

I'm beyond proud, I guess Twitter won't be a libtard platform anymore. but why couldnt he buy it back in 2020 before the election? if he owned it back then retarded Biden would of had a minimal chance at cheating the election like he did

Friendlybro79 · Answer

I really don't give a crap. What he's paying for Twitter is the yearly salary of roughly 1.28 million Americans. Based on median wage in 2019. That's more disturbing to me and the bigger issue in my opinion.

ArtemisSilver · Answer

The purge at that office will be legend.

Seriously though, I'm happy to see the hard left intelligencia squirm, someone needs to protect free speech, sad it had to be musk instead of our corrupted governments.

Anonymous · Answer

it’s about time people with power are starting to buy up and shut down this woke cancel culture bullshit and allowing people to actually have a voice even if others don’t necessarily agree with it.

Phoenix98 · Answer

PinkMichae · Answer

Twitter needed new management and ownership. So it can't get any worse that what the former owner did.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

He will piss of the present personnel :D But they still can kick him out later - he's used to that. Otherwise - I never intended (nor did I) to use twitter. So why would I care?

Adam1978 · Answer

Don't care, free speech shouldn't be limited to tweets. So the wrong platform for a forum that should give people a voice.

Valso · Answer

Let's hope he'll increase the characters limit to unlimited cuz RN twitter feels like the obsolete short message system (SMS). It's ridiculous that if I wanna say a few sentences, I have to write the most of them in an image, just like a meme.

Surely · Answer

I think that the people that didn’t want him to buy it and are worried about whom he might leave back on. Are possibly the ones that should have been censored or blocked for misinformation more so then the ones that were blocked!

Amur8711 · Answer

If he does manage to get policies changed to be more online with Free Speech, then this us a huge win. Of course you wouldn't be able to insight physical violence or do anything that is actual illegal.
