And then he'd cry about how the sound of the gun and the recoil gave him PTSD and he needs a safe space with puppies and coloring books.

Oh, and the reason why the lefty would try to kill Elon Musk?

Because the left HATES capitalism and any version of free speech rights that isn't their version.

In the liberal business mind, incidentals like ownership are irrelevant.

I'm cracking up that the leftys all somehow think they have won something here. I'm seeing all kinds of blue check celebrations and talk of who they demand Elon make CEO in his place, to include "Someone from management at Google or Disney or one of the big media companies who know how to run things."  :rofl:

Newsflash morons - Elon still owns Twitter, you don't. You will NOT be happy with whoever he puts in place (though I probably will).  :laugh:

I think it would be absolutely awesome if he were to resign as Twitter CEO and immediately appoint... himself as Twitter CEO.

What is the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on here?

Quote
Former US government intelligence agents are now working across Silicon Valley in senior roles dedicated to censoring 'misinformation', DailyMail.com can disclose. 

A large number of ex-officers from the FBI, CIA, NSC, and State Department have taken positions at Facebook, Twitter, and Google. 

The revelation comes amid fears the FBI operated control over Twitter censorship and the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Spooks infiltrate Silicon Valley: Facebook is riddled with ex-CIA agents – including President’s briefer who now runs 'harmful content' team – so many ex-FBI work at Twitter they have Slack channel and Google is rife with ex-CIA
  Mint Press' Alan MacLeod found that former CIA agents made up some of the top ranks in almost every politically sensitive department at Meta
    He also found that former FBI agents migrated to Twitter in droves
    DailyMail.com has been able to track down many of these former intelligence officials who are now working at top tech companies

It sounds like a "covid drop" is forthcoming. That should be interesting - especially for those of us who were called ignorant conspiracy nuts.

Also, regarding the covid stuff, it's fair to note that apparently the Trump admin also tried to get twitter and other big tech to push a narrative. I think the main takeaway though, is that they mostly didn't do it for Trump and mostly did it for Biden.

Awesome!

I note that journalists and "blue checks" are the biggest complainers about this policy, but an actual scientist in a real science gets it.

The White House made a lot of demands to censor individuals that they didn't like, especially over covid:

Elon having a little fun

Quote
The Twitter sign on the company's San Francisco headquarters was slightly revamped.

The social media giant's head honcho, Elon Musk, had the "W" in the Twitter sign painted over in white to blend into the background color so that the name reads ‘Titter.’

"Our landlord at SF HQ says we’re legally required to keep sign as Twitter & cannot remove "w", so we painted it background color. Problem solved!," a boisterous Musk tweeted on Sunday.

He said in a follow-up tweet, "They tried to muffle our titter."
