Twitter to Be Sold to Elon Musk!

Possibly some very good news for a change:

“Elon Wins: Twitter to Be Sold to Elon Musk”

authenticating all humans

Presumably (I hope) this just means some sort of algorithm to detect bots, rather than an end to anonymity.

Yes, I hope its a win for free speech.
It will be a big fight, tho, because the government won’t like losing its censorship arm.

Yes, it is good news.

Every defeat of the Left is a good thing. Populations, electorates, must wake up and fight in very way possible and legal to defeat the “woke”.

Stopping one of the biggest of the social media from propagandizing for the Left and censoring the Right is a huge step forward.

May the great Elon Musk succeed in restoring free speech to Twitter as he promised to do! May we soon be reading tweets by President Trump again!

“UK Demands Elon Musk Keeps Twitter ‘Responsible’ by Censoring Content”

Hilariously, the EU is apparently threatening Musk that he must protect freedom of speech, although of course the “bigwig” mentions “hate speech” rules in the same sentence:

“Anyone who wants to benefit from this market will have to fulfil our rules,” the EU bigwig reportedly continued. “The board [of Twitter] will have to make sure that if it operates in Europe it will have to fulfil the obligations, including moderation, open algorithms, freedom of speech, transparency in rules, obligations to comply with our own rules for hate speech, revenge porn [and] harassment.”

As I understand it the deal has still to complete, that’s one reason I only said possible. Another reason is that there will be a lot of battles ahead for Musk to get through, one being new laws such as the Online Safety Bill, another being possible internal problems at Twitter, but I’m cautiously optimistic about it.

Good fun:

“Twitter executive accuses Musk of MISOGYNY for criticizing firm’s top lawyer over her ‘incredibly inappropriate’ censorship of Hunter Biden laptop story - but Elon continues attacking Twitter and points out Trump’s Truth Social is beating it”

Yes, insanity rules when people think you can pretend to demand “free speech” and yet also demand compliance with “hate speech” restrictions in the same breath.

I did write ‘possibly’, the deal appears to be ‘on hold’ now although it seems to be just a temporary thing, he says he’s still committed apparently:

“Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal insists that he still ‘expects the deal to close’ after Elon Musk threw his $44B takeover plans into chaos by claiming he was putting them ‘temporarily on hold’”

The share price has been falling steadily apparently.

It would be just as good to see Twitter fold completely as to be bought by Musk.
They deserve either one.
