Twitter board votes UNANIMOUSLY to the Musk deal.  Elon Musk is buying twitter.  The subsequent meltdown of the left is the most hilarious thing to happen in 2022.

With CNN+ being cancelled after just 23 days, and Disney losing their special status in Floridia .... it's a bad time to be woke.

yes, it was great news.  I just hope he holds to his word

Also, I'd like to remind everyone that my YouTube channel has more views than CNN+ ever did. :)

It should not be pawssible for random youtube channels to have moar views than a premium subscription service, and yet here we are.

Best take so far:

"An African-American immigrant who manufactures electric cars is now protecting free speech for everyone and the left is somehow mad."

-- the Hodge Twins

I posted similarly, and got a lot of lefties jumping through hoops to say Elon isn't African.  Some going so far as to claim the nation of South Africa is not part of the African continent.  I just .... there was a lot of facepaw.

What it really proves is that "African American" is a poorly considered sobriquet.

Not all Africans are black, and not all blacks are African. If they meant black they should have said black.

But that's what you get when you try to shove people into little boxes as a way to create division. "If someone is 'x' then they must also be 'y', otherwise they are 'z'-ist or 'z'-phobic" etc. etc.

And that, at the end of the day, is what they are terrified about. The purple-haired woketards love to scream about diversity, but if faced with diversity of *thought* they go apoplectic. And that's what they fear Elon will bring to Twitter.

Yea, they refuse to believe Elon is an African-American because of his skin color.  Really really bigoted on their part, and they don't even see it.

Earlier toady i heard some news person "if Elon is in control he might ban candidates just before an election, or suppress investigations about them since there are no more checks and balances" wtf..   Oh, and its "white straight male privilege" or something that he bought it.  ( Jack was a white straight male too.. )

I know its partially for show, to push the agenda on the stupid but im sooooo tired of it.

If i didnt mention it....

So the bill board last week " Trumps way is to support Putin" today its "trump lied, Ukraine died". These idiots really need to get over it.  If he runs again, they are going to totally melt down.

LOL.

But sadly i am not surprised. 

Recently i heard similar: "he cant be African-American, hes white, and saying he is African is racist" ( and i hate that term btw. You are either American, or you are not. No qualifiers )

Wait ... that's exactly what twitter was doing.  Silencing repub candidates just before an election, artificially boosting dem candidates.

Also, before yesterday happened, you could try smashing the BLOCK button on certain accounts, but that action never stuck.  It was literally impossible to block @JoeBiden, @KamalaHarris, @POTUS, and @VP.  They'd just auto-unblock.  Today I tried it and they remain blocked.

Well, at least things are improving then.

It is funny to watch the mental gymnastics they're going through to convince themselves that allowing everyone to have a voice is a bad thing. And it's just on one site! As they used to say to others -- "if you don't like it, build your own site" haha.

Just wait until some of the more prominent people start getting unblocked.
It'll be quite the scene.

They've been telling us for YEARS that if we don't like twitter, we can build our own platform.  Now that twitter is sold, lefties are freaking out and not a single one of them is saying "I'm building a new platform."  No, all of them are just "where do we go now?"  The thought of building some new amazing platform isn't crossing their minds.  It is purrplexing.

it is, for them.

I dont think Elon will do it, as noting else he does not want to lose his investment. However, the people ( and infiltrators ) he has run the day to day operations might.  And of course he has NO clue what sort of attacks hes in for.   Before they mostly ignored him , but now hes front and center. its not going to be pretty.

It is yet to be seen whether anything similar will transpire at Twitter.

And it begins:

"Brussels has warned Elon Musk that Twitter must comply with the EU’s new digital rules under his ownership, or risk hefty fines or even a ban, setting the stage for a global regulatory battle over the future of the social media platform. Thierry Breton, the EU’s commissioner for the internal market, told the Financial Times that Musk must follow rules on moderating illegal and harmful content online after Twitter accepted the billionaire’s $44bn takeover offer. Breton said: “We welcome everyone. We are open but on our conditions. At least we know what to tell him: ‘Elon, there are rules. You are welcome but these are our rules. It’s not your rules which will apply here.’”
