I have no idea who Richard Hanania is, but he is an idiot

Richard's tweets:

Elon Musk takes over Twitter. He's a billionaire who doesn't even have a Master's degree. Is that who we are going to trust with the future of our democracy?

what ??? no Masters Degree ? how can that be ? Smile

A few more years on a college campus where he could have been exposed to diverse ideas and professional educators could have made a great difference in his outlook. In a time when so many are getting that experience, doesn’t our democracy deserve better?

Education matters. Please listen to an MA who has experience in activism and working for social justice, and note the contrast with Elon Musk’s naive notions of free speech.

who is the MA ? oh, it is Shaun King: " At its root, @ElonMusk wanting to purchase Twitter is not about left vs right.

It’s about white power."


back to Richard:

Many are impressed with Elon Musk’s business accomplishments. Meanwhile, in academia we’ve been creating brand new disciplines like queer studies and Chicanx studies that raise Black and LGBT voices. Yet we worship spaceships because they represent whiteness in our culture.

xxxxxxxxxxx

Richard - go have drink w Shaun. He will explain it to you

Something is definitely up with these leftist asshole workers who have infected that place.

I hope Musk moves the whole damn thing to Texas and tells them: "Anyone who wants to work here has to have their ASS in a seat right here at HQ 5 days a week, no more of this WFH nonsense"

Conservatives are magically gaining thousands of followers while leftists on Twitter are losing thousands of followers.

It's quite clear that the algorithm has changed.

They’re trying not to get caught. They are scrubbing the Algos before Elon gets real control over the company.

Hopefully somebody goes back and does forensics all the fargen backups for the last 10 years.

Most delicious Cool

Twitter employees are losing their minds, saying they're "sick" of hearing about free speech and they fear for their "mental health". That alone tells you so much about this leftist scum. Rampant fear of Trump returning.

It's so HILARIOUS to see Leftists, Progressives, and Libtards absolutely losing their shit over a white dude that can literally call himself an "African American". I am LMFAO!!!!! Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

Musk is already going after Twitter’s head lawyer who apparently was behind them blocking the NY Post Hunter Biden article from being accessible on there right before the 2020 election.

Her ass is going to be the first of many fired, you watch.

He bought a huge tract where he built the Tesla factory in Austin….there’s plenty of land still undeveloped on it….I wonder if he will move the HQ to Austin.
