Holy freaking frack!

The United Nations has weighed in on Musk taking over Twitter...

Be sure to ensure human rights while you're laying people off, Elon!

What the literal *expletive deleted*ck?

I was just about to post that. When you have the UN butting in and telling you what you need to do, you know that you're already doing something right.

They'll assign Iran as supervisor to ensure no human rights are violated.

I read that one of the teams he fired was the Twitter group responsible for incorporating UN guiding principles on business ethics.

That may be why the UN is upset.

No wonder the UN is involved then.

The UN is all about corruption to the very core.

Wow, indeed.

What price integrity?

Makes one wonder about other "rating" groups... Consumer's Union, BBB, J. D. Powers...

Some sort of grift, ratline, or other corruption, must have just ended for them to respond like this.  It has been shown that online social media has been used for distribution of child porn and coordination of child prostitution rings, and the UN and the myriad of NGOs have been involved with child trafficking.  So that's where I'd start, that and money in general of course.

That team probably includes friends/relatives of key UN officials.

Isn't "permanently suspended" an oxymoron?

She's the one who published a picture of her holding the bloodied head of Trump, right?

I like her strategy of, "You're an ahole. Give me my account back."

Typical lefty though - "I hate you and give me free stuff."

    Look, free country, he owns the company, he can do and say what he wants, he can endorse whoever he wants. And I’m fine with all that. But what’s funny is thinking about how the right would be freaking out if prior Twitter ownership had openly encouraged users to vote Democrat. https://t.co/B9wkJ6ez2X

Griffin going off the deep end, attacking Elon, and ending her tirades with "free kathy". At first he said that she could post again if she pays $8/month, but since she is now flagrantly stealing his identity with "not a parody" statements, I hope he just bans her.

Noooooo, at this point Musk should sue her for defamation and/or criminal charges for attempted identity theft.  She clearly declared it to be not a parody after all.  >:D
