I can already see the cowboys mentioning me upandan. E go shock them. Even allowing that antivaccine talk to spread in Europe will have Twitter paying fines through the nose for undermining public health. That's before we even come to hate speech

I've been reading Twitter fears from liberals .
So concerned that free speech on Twitter will be restored.
Looks like a bubble world to me liberals want to only read what they hold true whether it's myopic or not
That there are only two genders outrages liberals.

While it's expected for sellers to inflate their value. He should have also done an independent audit of the assets of Twitter.

The purpose of the purchase was to flex his power. After all he's the world richest man worth over 200b. He won't miss the 40bn spent on Twitter

Anyways I've started seeing people posting things that were formerly banned on Twitter like
"There are only 2 genders"

I like Musk though. I like most rich men
thinking like me. I sent a blast on fb about two genders, I was warned for misinfo

Elon dont have 44B. Financiers are lending him. Govt under Biden lost a propaganda so they will do a colonoscopy on him to find any crime Joe Biden style.
Twitter made revenues of 7 or so B . Definitely not worth what he is paying for. But he can turn it around, let those whose snowflakes have banned be back , get rid of bots and make real $$ from adverts. I think Trump had a 80m plus followers many bots of course but he can sell say Ivanka's dress made in China to millions in a few hours. social media influencers with nothing are making a killing from selling anything on the internet

Twitter was about to fire employees. Musk said he will offload 75% of them . Lords of the universe. I been banned for promoting Ivermectin for instance.

BREAKING: Elon Musk Officially Owns Twitter – Immediately Fires CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO and Legal Head Vijaya Gadde

LordAdam16:
I know this feels like 2016 all over again, and I had a sh*t-eating grin reading cvnts like Gaade had been served pink slips.

But I'm disillusioned to these "grand actions".

I prefer deep-in-the-shadow operations, like what is being done to Ye.

If Elon fires all Twitter employees, they'd be fully absorbed by the rest of Silicon Valley. Google and Meta alone have taken up a third of up to 1100 that left already of their own volition.

Meanwhile the DOJ has started investigating Tesla and the establishment are looking into commandeering Musk's enterprises under the guise of national security.

We have very few conservative billionaires, and most of them are being bombastic, taking undue risks, and painting huge targets on their backsides. When Nixon, Reagan, the Bushes were winning; Democrat billionaires, elite, and upper middle class were underground building their networks.

That support network is massive and formidable right now. Vijay who just got fired will get a book deal, million-dollar speaking engagements, a movie or tv show, board seat on a civil society organization or educational institution, and her phone is currently blowing up with 8-figure job offers. That's on top of the more than $50m she's made in lifetime earnings at Twitter plus $12m severance package. She's set for life and her kids who'd be future Ivy-League alumni will continue from where she stopped. So even if you give her a do-over, she'd ban Trump and shut down the Hunter Biden story a million times without regrets. Heck, there are millions of conservatives who'll do the same for such rewards.

So excuse me if I feel the $45b spent on Twitter could have been spent on something better. The clean energy revolution is ongoing. China, Saudi Arabia are in on it. But leave it to the Reds to be clinging to coal and oil. Tomorrow when all the billionaires, centi-millionaires, and establishment in a projected trillion dollar industry start playing interference for the Blues who helped made them rich, conservatives will be typing thousand-words articles about vast conspiracies on sh*tty 2005-styled websites and pleading for donations.

If that $45b had been channeled into a seed fund that backs conservative entrepreneurs in strategic sectors in clean energy, we'd be talking about owning electric automobile, battery storage, recycling, power plants, mining, and more operations. These nouveau rich would be the ones backing Red protests, lawsuits, legislation, and races in the future. But no, let's do these meme-worthy zings. That's how we were in charge of IBM and Oracle, and let the likes of Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Meta and hundreds more dominate in only one decade.

Now, you can't express your reservations about kids sitting on the laps of drag queens in public discourse. But what do I know?

Elon Musk acquistion of Twatter be over tomorrow. The left has lost a huge megaphone. He walked into Twitter HQ carrying a sink, Let that sink in.
His statement reproduced below. As expected the left lost it hurling uprintables.

Elon Musk: There has been much speculation about why I bought Twitter and what I think about advertising. Most of it has been wrong.

The reason I acquired Twitter is because it is important for the future of civilization to have a common digital town square, where a wide range of beliefs can be debated in a healthy manner, without resorting to violence. There is currently a great danger that social media will splinter into far right wing and far left wing echo chambers that generate more hate and divide our society…

That is why I bought Twitter. I didn’t do it to make more money. I did it to try to help humanity, whom I love. And I do so with humility, recognizing that failuer in pursuing this goal, despite our best efforts, is a very real possibility.

Exactly. Anyone stupid enough to go to university just to get a degree in “gender studied” or some nonsense like that deserves all the pain of student loans. You go waste your time studying a useless course with no real world value or employability potential and then you start crying about debt an expecting hardworking people to pay for it? Ridiculous.

Listen university is not worth it if you are not going there to study a professional or technical course like medicine, law, engineering, accounting etc. anything else is just to show you attended college and no one should have to pay for that but you.
Education is the best gift to children. Today the school system looks set to be dumbed down. Useless degrees in expensive colleges because loans are available. A generation made to look zombie like. Children taught CRT. Children encouraged to change genders without informing their parents. Girls able to abort willy nilly.
We also have some educated people here who make no sense.Diversity being observed in Ivy leagues and prestigious institutions.

Growing up under all that then one ends up doing a useless degree. Joe Biden times the midterms to forgive student loans knowing republicans will largely object. Purely a vote hunt.

Excerpt Long Read https://thecritic.co.uk/issues/december-2019/the-plot-against-fracking/



The Russians also lobbied behind the scenes against shale gas, worried about losing their grip on the world’s gas supplies. Unlike most conspiracy theories about Russian meddling in Western politics, this one is out there in plain sight. The head of Nato, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said the Russians, as part of a sophisticated disinformation operation, “engaged actively with so-called non-governmental organisations — environmental organisations working against shale gas — to maintain Europe’s dependence on imported Russian gas”.
The Centre for European Studies found that the Russian government has invested $95 million in NGOs campaigning against shale gas. Russia Today television ran endless anti-fracking stories, including one that “frackers are the moral equivalent of paedophiles”. The US Director of National Intelligence stated that “RT runs anti-fracking programming … reflective of the Russian Government’s concern about the impact of fracking and US natural gas production on the global energy market and the potential challenges to Gazprom’s profitability.” Pro-Russian politicians such as Lord Truscott (married to a Russian army colonel’s daughter) made speeches in parliament against fracking

We are here. Let's discuss Right and Left. Parameters I consider that you can add are
Belief system and Behavioral tendencies n extremities ; you can add more.

Belief System. The right is mostly religious as such an eye for an eye don't dwell so much.The right most likely won't commit violence needlessly as their moral fibre bars them.
The left fits well into this category too.The left however is progressive moving the goal posts to suit their desires. Law abiding to an extent that their projections are accepted by all and sundry.

Behavior. The right I posit commit less crimes than the left. Progressive left will justify breaking the law to fit their jig saw puzzles.

Extremity.
Far right is toxic and obnoxious. Most likely engage in hate crimes secretly in their mind.
Far left is vicious.Tends to force their outlook to everyone. Most criminals are far left. Far left is racist and segregates into groupies and gangs.

Kim Jong Un is calling. Have to break off.p
