Elon Musk buys Twitter for $44 billion

Anti Globalist said:
What exactly is Musks aim and end goal? I highly doubt Twitter will receive substantial change. It'll continue to be a liberal cesspool no matter who is in charge.

Bring back Alex Jones, President Trump, Babylon Bee, Laura Loomer, Milo, anybody who got banned for tweeting #LearnToCode and a multitude of others.

Make Twitter Great Again.
 
So the basic argument against Musk seems to be that twitter needs more content moderation to protect free speech. :blank:
 
I am pretty sure for less than 43 Billion he could launch his own private successful twitter competitor and put them out of business or at least be a legitimate player in the industry.
 
Elon Musk’s Twitter Bid Proves The ‘Private Business Can Do What It Wants’ Censorship Defense Was Always Garbage
BY: ELLE REYNOLDS - APRIL 14, 2022

The “private business” or “build your own internet” argument in defense of Big Tech censorship was always a garbage excuse to let Silicon Valley silence speech it disagrees with, and the meltdown about Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter (making the platform a truly private company) makes it more obvious than ever.

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO, who became Twitter’s biggest shareholder earlier this month after purchasing 9.2 percent of the company’s stock, sent a letter to Twitter Wednesday night offering to buy the rest of Twitter’s stock at $54.20 per share in cash.

When Big Tech companies like Twitter have censored users or content that challenges their agendas in the past — see, the New York Post’s Hunter Biden’s laptop bombshell, the 45th president of the United States, reporting on the crisis at the U.S. southern border, an obituary of a mother who reportedly died from Covid shot complications, members of Congress, investigative reporting on abortion, summaries of court decisions about election law, a Federalist editor who said boys and girls are different, The Babylon Bee, and the “Libs of Tik Tok” account, which exposes educators talking about their radical sex ideology, to name a few — a gaggle of censorship aficionados inevitably insist that “because the First Amendment doesn’t regulate private companies they can silence whoever the heck they want.”

As he typically does in such matters, Washington Post columnist Max Boot provides a textbook example.

After the New York Post published bombshell reporting about a compromising laptop belonging to then-presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son Hunter — a laptop which, more than a year later, The New York Times and Boot’s own employer have admitted is legit — Boot loudly defended Twitter’s “private-sector” right to censor the story.

“Facebook and Twitter are private-sector companies, and they have no obligation to pass along possible Russian disinformation. That’s not ‘censorship.’ It’s editorial judgment, and it’s something we need more of online,” Boot insisted in October 2020. “I’m all for free speech, but the First Amendment does not impose on companies a mandate to spread Russian — or Republican — disinformation.”

Now that Musk has offered to buy Twitter and make it a really private company, Boot is singing a different tune. “I am frightened by the impact on society and politics if Elon Musk acquires Twitter. He seems to believe that on social media anything goes,” Boot cried on Thursday morning. “For democracy to survive, we need more content moderation, not less.”
...
CNN’s Brian Stelter had a similarly disingenuous change of heart. In response to news that “The [Trump] White House is expected to up its pressure on Twitter in the coming days, and is considering sending a threatening letter for issuing fact checks on the president’s tweets” in May 2020, Stelter mused, “A letter threatening… what? Twitter is a private company.”

Fast-forward to Thursday morning, and Stelter was suddenly worried about Twitter’s power, retweeting the perspective that “Twitter is too important to be owned and controlled by a single person. The opposite should be happening. Twitter should be decentralized as a protocol that powers an ecosystem of communication products and services.”

crowdsourcing is not easy - even with massive marketing money. This is more like highlander - there can be only one - so the quickest solution is to buy the one

Oh for fuck's sake...you gaslighting douchebags.

For years now all we've heard from the Marxist media organs and their assorted repeaters is "Twatter's a private company and Jack Dorsey (an uber rich white guy) can do whatever he wants with it".

Now, a legitimate "African American" is looking to buy the whole sordid mess and the organs pivot, like figure skaters, to take the opposite position.

Watching these assholes, and that fucking Wog that runs the outfit, melt down would be worth 40 billion to me.

No...no...no...I refuse to believe that.

These assholes are Marxists, they are working the plan for revolution and this constant lying and bullshitting and flip flopping is all just part of the mind fuck.

NOBODY could be so ever fucking dimwitted, so as to lack such a magnitude self awareness.

A fucking amoeba would have more self awareness if that was the fact.

These media jackals are enemies of the people and the republic.
