Elon Musk has purchased 9+ percent of Twitter shares and thus becomes their largest shareholder.

  Time to do a bit of leveraging.   He can start by firing that communist POS CEO.

Not a big fan of his, but he does seem to believe in free speech and allowing both sides to voice their opinions.

Lord help us. They’re doing it again.  Literally not satire.

https://babylonbee.com/news/twitter-workers-worried-elon-musk-will-turn-their-free-speech-platform-into-platform-that-allows-free-speech

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—With Elon Musk becoming Twitter's largest stakeholder and a new member of the board of directors, many within the company are worried he may turn their free speech platform into a platform that actually allows free speech.

"This could destroy us," said Yinny Xendapoo, Twitter's director of content moderation. "When we say we're a free speech platform, we never intended to actually allow free speech! If we allowed free speech, people might say things we don't like and that's NOT ok."

Others are concerned that Musk's influence may cause the social network to allow unfettered social networking, and millions of people to use the platform to platform themselves even though they are yucky and have weird opinions that shouldn't be platformed.

"This is not what our free speech social network was meant to do," said an angry Xendapoo.

Several within the company are calling for Musk's immediate removal, and have threatened to resign and start their own group text message on their phones where conservative opinions will not be allowed.

Do I even need to link where this came from?  Don Lemon absolutely nails it!


SAN FRANCISCO, CA—A growing number of left-leaning voices are concerned about a dangerous increase in free speech if Elon Musk buys Twitter. Early reports confirm that this is because they would have to debate their opponents, instead of just banning them.

"Any statement that I don't like is literally incitement, promoting violence, and an existential threat to worldwide democracy" tweeted one user named Resist_The_System90210. "I never had to debate a real person, as Twitter just buries them in the 'additional replies, including those that may contain offensive content' to protect me!"

Don Lemon called out the widespread misunderstanding about so-called "free speech" on his "Don Lemon Tonight" segment: "There are obviously limits to free speech. You can't yell 'fire' in a theater, or claim that you can still catch and spread COVID even if you have the vaccine, or talk about the laptop proving that Joe Biden's son leveraged his Dad's position to make a fortune for the family - free speech is more like speech that I already agree with and won't hurt prevailing liberal narratives."

One commenter disagreed, however, on the grounds that Twitter was already an unbiased bastion of free speech principles. "If Elon takes over Twitter, he'll let literal Nazis like Donald Trump and Gina Carano say whatever they want! I won't be safe!"

At time of publishing, left-wing Twitter users were relieved to find that Elon was outbid by a CCP-connected Chinese oligarch.

Twitter is a public accommodation as defined in the Civil Rights Act of 1965.  Their ability to censor viewpoints must inherently discriminate against protected classes.

Dubious. The Wall Street Journal allows commenting by its subscribers to some of its news stories. Yahoo allows commenting on some of its stories by anyone. Lastly there is this forum and, say, Pilots of America.
Which of those is "public accommodation" and why?

Lastly, currently protected classes are:
Age;
Race;
National Origin;
Religious Beliefs;
Gender ;
Disability;
Pregnancy; and
Veteran Status.

Unless a poster claims to be in one of those classes a "public accommodation" would not know they are in it.

I keep hearing the word "private" but then he is probably buying it to make money.  Turn it into a great new actual free speech platform and then turn around and sell it?

Or, I heard he talked about maybe making it pay to play, you have to have a paid for account to post.  I don't know how I feel about that but it doesn't matter, I've never been on Twitter and never intend to.

If this is your view of the world, then you're seriously misinformed and need to listen to a wider variety of news sources.  The Proud Boys do not represent Republicans and are not embraced by them. 

Republicans recognize there are extreme beliefs and most say they are wrong.  If the same thing is true of Democrats, then you should be condemning Antifa, BLM and Bernie Sanders.  We have a senile hair sniffing perv for president now exactly BECAUSE the largest group of Democrats refused to denouce socialism and all the others had to come behind one person they could control.

Musk has put the deal on hold.  Supposedly because he wants more clarity on how many accounts are just bots.

Coincidentally I have seen a lot of ads for Mastodon in the last two days, which is a new Twitter-like alternative but is decentralized.  Unlike Twitter it isn’t owned and monitored by a company.  The users own it on separate discreet servers and each server can have its own set of rules.  Each one is called an “instance” with its own members but the posts can be seen across the entire platform, so it functions like one platform, but has no centralized control.  The term “instance” is reminiscent of gaming, where the same “location” can exist simultaneously in several different dimensions for separate groups of players, and the entire universe can exist on separate servers each with its own set of members who can sometimes intersect for certain events.  The genius of the guy that invented Mastodon is to apply this to social media addressing the problem of biased censorship by the centralized corporate authority yet allowing small groups to censor as they see fit.

Maybe Musk suddenly sees Mastodon, or the new idea in general, as an existential threat to Twitter, which it may well be, much like crypto is catching on for the exact same reason: not regulated by a central authority. 

I don’t think the guy that invented Mastodon is some populist free speech proponent.  If Musk stops censoring the right and they all come back to Twitter, maybe the left will run to this new alternative and Twitter will devolve into a right wing echo chamber.  Much like the left have all run from this forum.  The guy is German and I get the idea his original instance is left leaning but confess I really don’t know much about him.

Could Musk have suddenly foreseen this and is having second thoughts about buying Twitter?  Or am I way off track here?

I see it as Musk is slowly making Twitter and the leftist lunatics expose themselves for what they are.

Meaning the price will go down.  Those sellers are probably panicked right now.  They’re not going to get as much as they wanted and they think he might pull out altogether.  My husband always said, be ready to walk away from a deal.  Never let them know you want it.  I let him do all the negotiating for us.

Twitter is for sale.  They claim XXXXXX number of users.   Musk bases his purchase offer on the information provided.

During the purchase negotiations it's discovered that Twitter, through the use of bots, has greatly inflated the number of users (misrepresentation).

Musk wants the purchase readjusted to reflect the actual numbers, which will in essence mean a lower price.   Musk threatens to walk if this isn't accomplished.

 Share holders will burn the board to the ground if they don't cooperate, because the revelations that much of Twitter is a fake insider controlled service will devalue them further.

Are we sure he's pulling out versus just trying to force them to show how many fake users there are?

I’m not sure of anything.  I only just watched that video, which includes a letter Musk just filed with the SEC yesterday, in which he accuses Twitter of material breach of contract.  It seems clear that if Twitter doesn’t provide the raw data he wants, he will certainly pull out.  And so far Twitter has been obstinate about not providing it.  Also this guy mentions that several shareholders are already filing suit against both Musk and Twitter.

What I don’t know is whether this was Musk’s plan all along, to just destroy Twitter and wasn’t ever serious about owning it.  I kind of doubt it, but either way, it’s hilarious and Twitter is getting no less than what it deserves.

Musk exposed Twitter.   The company is actually made up of millions of bots, even Twitter admitted this.

Apparently it doesn't have the worth they advertised it has, and also he outed them using several techniques of banning people.

Watch the stock plummet.

Read one of the reasons he wanted out was they would not give him API access so he could do his own research on the number of bots and fake accounts.

Which discovery would disclose factually how many bots and fake subscribers there are. I don’t think this suit will go very far once they realize a lawsuit pulls back the curtain completely.

I won’t bother to link it but Styx says Musk probably did all this deliberately and is making fools of Twitter.  When he first announced he was going to buy it they all screamed in panic no he can’t did that!  Now they desperately want him to buy it, so much so they’re suing for it.  What happened to them being horrified by the idea?  The process has revealed the extent of bots and fake accounts iow how overvalued it was, and hence Twittter stock is crashing, Musk will end up negotiating a lesser price, owning Twitter and save billions off his original offer.  Styx says Musk didn’t get where he was by being stupid.

Anyway that’s what he said.  We shall see.

It’s been said that the US government is the major financier of Twitter. 

Let the lawsuit happen, and let the Musk legal team begin discovery.

Many of those aren't real people, they're bots.

Twitter is (was) a very clever propaganda tool.  Simply shadow ban or outright ban anyone who speaks against the narrative, then produce millions of bots to carry the approved narrative.

Twitter never has had the revenue they have proclaimed.  They have been funded by a silent source.  More and more now it's appearing that source was the US government.

Musk has exposed them.  Unfortunately for Musk, the US government will seek out revenge.

It’s not his one vote they care about, it’s that he dares to oppose them after voting Democrat all his life.  Apostates are the most hated by religious cults and that’s exactly what the left has devolved into.

Musk has pushed back against the regime.  He will be labeled a Domestic Terrorist.   Start looking for his government contracts to come under tremendous scrutiny, and many cancelled.   Tesla will come under government attack in a bid to reward unionized car manufacturers.

The regime will not tolerate dissent.

Exactly.  Also I will not be surprised if there is a coordinated attack from several woke metoo females alleging he sexually abused them years ago.

The Bee is on it, as always.

https://babylonbee.com/news/elon-to-replace-3200-twitter-employees-with-one-hardworking-immigrant-from-india

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Only hours after officially taking over Twitter, Elon Musk has taken action on firing underperforming employees. After reviewing the metrics on individual employee productivity, Musk abruptly fired 3,200 Twitter team members and replaced them with Amar.

"Amar is a hardworking immigrant from India who can easily do the work of 3,200 Silicon Valley millennials," said Musk. "Once we filtered out all the breaks for meditation, wine-on-tap, matcha sipping, shuffleboard, and corn-hole, we discovered that these employees could all be replaced with Amar, who will outperform all 3,200 of these employees by at least 9%."

Amar's resume includes a steady stream of success at several call centers in Mumbai, and since his start date on Monday, he has already outworked 2,973 of the employees in weekly productivity. Sources say he works 18 hours per day, sleeps at the office, and takes baths in the bathroom sink, all of which he says are much better working conditions than where he came from.

At publishing time, Twitter employees had announced they all found jobs working for the DNC in Washington, D.C.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — As Elon Musk takes over Twitter this week and begins looking for ways to make the $44 billion-dollar company more profitable, some employees are starting to worry about the future of their jobs.

And none more so than Shea L. Porter, a content moderation specialist who's been working for Twitter full-time for 4 hours a week since 2019. According to sources within the company, Porter is the one who made the decision to lock The Babylon Bee out of its account after the satirical news site gave Rachel Levine its coveted "Man of the Year" award.

"You know, I'm starting to wonder if I might be in trouble here," he confided in coworker Ally Federer. "I don't know. I just feel like it might be frowned upon to make a content moderation decision that may have resulted in the entire company getting sold and the whole discourse around free speech in this country shifting."

"Like, did I change Western Civilization forever just because I was a little grumpy that day?" According to Porter, he had a heavy workload back in March when he decided to lock The Bee out of its account and was just a little on edge, resulting in the decision that may have shifted the tides of the war over free speech and big tech censorship forever.

"It was a pretty rough day for me," he admitted. "I was putting in extra hours to get a project done, so I'd worked, like, 8 hours the week before. The cafeteria was out of red wine on tap, and I found the garlic shrimp a little mealy, which is weird, because Fernando down there in the kitchen is usually on point. So, I dunno. I let my emotions get the better of me."

At publishing time, Musk had called Porter into his office and asked him, "So, what would you say... you do here?"
