I'm willing to bet the author of that tweet meant it as satire.


It's clearly satire. I mean c'mon.

This reminds me of Chappelle's Charlie Murphy plays Prince in b-ball sketch.

Musk dunks on all of them in the end:

What a joke is MSNBC.

Prepare for an even more hellish experience on Twitter than you've ever imagined

Make no mistake: Musk’s ownership of the company will likely make the platform into even more of a hellscape. The reasons why are clear to anyone willing to see them.

Musk has a warped view of free speech that’s not befitting of someone running a social media platform. His sophomoric perception of “free speech” draws from right-wing logic claiming moderation — even moderation of speech that might cause harm — is unjust. For example, he criticized Twitter's decision to ban former President Donald Trump for posing a risk of inciting further violence after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

“A good sign as to whether there’s free speech is: Is someone you don’t like allowed to say something you don’t like? And if that is the case, then we have free speech,” Musk said during an interview after he became Twitter's largest investor this month.

Twitter was the most aggressive censor when it came to the Biden laptop story. CensorTrack entries show that users could not tweet the story or pictures of the Post story.

The worst case of censorship in the Biden laptop subcategory involved one of the most powerful committees in Congress. The GOP House Judiciary Committee tweeted the following: "Twitter has blocked users from tweeting the link to the @nypost's story on Hunter Biden. So we put it on our website for you to read and share." The GOP House Judiciary linked to a press release on its website that contained a republished version initially published in the New York Post. The press release also linked to the original story. When users attempted to click the link to the official press release, they instead received a warning titled: "Warning, this link may be unsafe."

The categories listed for Twitter’s warning included "malicious links that could steal personal information or harm electronic devices," "spammy links," "violent or misleading content that could lead to real-world harm," or other content that would violate Twitter's rules if posted directly on Twitter.

Even former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany found her Twitter account locked when she tried to share the New York Post story on Hunter. McEnany told Fox's Sean Hannity that Twitter is holding her "at gunpoint" by refusing to let her access her account until she deleted the tweet.

After releasing its story on Hunter, the 220-year-old New York Post was locked out of its account for 17 days. Twitter reportedly said it suppressed the account because of a lack of knowledge of where the article originated, and because it violates Twitter's rules against ‘distribution of hacked material,’ according to former Post reporter Noah Manskar. Then Twitter-CEO Jack Dorsey even claimed after the November 3, 2020 election that blocking the Post story was a “mistake,” even though the damage was already done.

Conservative Hollywood icons weren’t exempt from Twitter’s pro-Biden zealotry. Actor James Woods also had his account locked for tweeting about the New York Post bombshell. The tweet that got his account censored said: "Sorry you have to read it this way. Twitter is censoring any facts that expose the Biden corruption scams." It is unclear whether he linked to the New York Post story or included any photos from the story but Twitter claimed that this tweet violated its “rules against distribution of hacked material" according to screenshots.

Woods removed the tweet and regained access to his account. In another incident, Woods took to Twitter to argue he had been locked out of his account again for posting screenshots from a newly released compromising video of Hunter Biden. Woods said he was willing to delete his tweet in order to regain access to his account "only because I know they’re not gonna stop the tsunami that’s coming," he said on Twitter.

So eliminating the bedrock of our nation, free speech, is necessary and a good thing. Yeah right. Get the fuck out MSNBC.

Yes. Gotta eliminate free speech to save free speech.

I might do so, ONLY IF they re-instate President Trump's account.
