The moment they dump Pootain and Allow Trump back on so will I... that will signal a paradigm shift in social media, hell it might even alter the space time continuum
Yep, a few additional things need to happen to prove to me that Twitter is being taken down a different path before I opt to sign up. At current, I'm just really pleased a whole lotta clowns who work for Twitter as well as media types are having a very, very, bad day.

What Musk is apparently trying to do goes to the heart of what is perhaps the most pressing problem of our time: censorship and totalitarianism.

It is a sad and worrisome reflection on our culture that most journalists who nowadays work for the mainstream media are nothing more than hacks whose first order of priority is to censor and silence those who do not share their ideological point of view. Worse yet, their ideology happens to be woke progressive totalitarian leftism.

I do not particularly care about social media or Twitter. The truth is, however, that social media have become the public square where political views are being widely discussed. As many have noticed, conservatives and people with traditional views are being purged from social media en masse. Twitter is especially significant, because it is a virtue signalling venue for the woke elites and the incubator of their politically correct views and attitudes.

What we get these days from the mainstream media and the internet is a complete distortion of reality. Most of it is just pure fake news. When people Google something they naively assume that they obtain a realistic picture of the situation. This is not the case at all. The results you get from search engine searches are highly manipulated and curated to suit a political agenda. The articles and videos we see on mainstream news sites are utterly biased with opposing views completely expunged from discussion. Most people are completely unaware of this, which is why they are so easily fooled and brainwashed.

The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I presume that, once Musk acquires Twitter, a Trump account will be a given.

As for Putin, I think you're missing the point. E.g.:

I would expect Twitter to stop whacking accounts just because they or somebody else disagrees with what they say.

Meanwhile, the professional political leftists who use the platform are having a complete mental breakdown. Thousands of them are promising to leave Twitter and find a safe place if the deal goes through.

I'm actually considering signing up now, just so I can watch that happen

LOL, this turd again. You can tell the Left is NOT happy about them potentially losing their platform as all the usual suspects have come crawling out of the woodwork to denounce him:




He's just jealous that Musk is an actual African-American! Big Grin

Elon usually gets what he wants. His desire to buy Twitter wasn't just a troll as it turns out. He wanted it, and so he now has it. This is some of the most savage, best use of fuck you money I have ever see. What a stud.

I can’t wait to find out what these @Twitter goons have been up to. I hope
@elonmusk investigates the shadow banning, purging of followers, limiting followers, etc. I can imagine evidence is being wiped quickly.
