Twits Running Twitter

Anthony D. Romero, ACLU executive director, had the following reaction:

“While Elon Musk is an ACLU card-carrying member and one of our most significant supporters, there’s a lot of danger having so much power in the hands of any one individual. In today’s world, a small handful of private tech companies — including Twitter — play a profound and unique role in enabling our right to express ourselves online. Social media is a critical tool used to share ideas, express opinions, and consume information that has real-life impacts in discourse in the offline world. We should be worried about any powerful central actor, whether it’s a government or any wealthy individual — even if it’s an ACLU member — having so much control over the boundaries of our political speech online.” (emphasis added)

Seems the ACLU, a supposed protector of free-speech, has not apparently expressed similar concerns about the power of billionaire individuals controlling the likes of the Washington Post, Atlantic, Bloomberg, etc. This would also apply to the New York Times and Twitter (pre-Musk) which have been managed by a left leaning cabal suppressing conservative thought.

The NAACP on Monday issued a statement from its president, Derrick Johnson, calling for former President Trump to remain off the social media platform Twitter following Elon Musk’s purchase of the company.

“Mr. Musk: free speech is wonderful, hate speech is unacceptable. Disinformation, misinformation and hate speech have NO PLACE on Twitter,” the statement said, shortly after it was announced that the Tesla CEO had reached a deal to purchase Twitter.

The article goes on to state the following:

“Do not allow 45 to return to the platform. Do not allow Twitter to become a petri dish for hate speech, or falsehoods that subvert our democracy,” the civil rights group’s memo added, referencing Trump and saying that “lives are at risk, and so is American democracy.”

So the NAACP believes that it can tell Musk what should and what should not be allowed on Twitter. Furthermore, the NAACP continues with the mindless tired Democratic mantra that Twitter must "suppress" free speech under the guise that anything the NAACP does not like constitutes: "hate speech, or falsehoods that subvert our democracy". As with the ACLU, where was the NAACP on Twitter being used to promote left wing causes while suppressing, at the same time, conservative thought? It is those on the left who are suppressing "our democracy".
 
The corporate board of Twitter and Musk have reached a deal. But as a last-gasp questioning, Twitter today is trading in the vicinity of $49.69. Theoretically, the stock should trade at only one price $54.20 pending Musk's actual acquisition of the company. So, it you feel brave, you can make nearly $5 a share by buying and holding. The fact that it is not trading at $54.20, is worth pondering.

The ACLU is a TOOL of the left, like BLM they have their own agenda that has nothing to do with fairness or equity.

Very sad. The same with the NAACP. King would also be "turning over in his grave" since the NAACP is no longer about civil rights, but is now promoting decision making based on skin color (racism).

Elizabeth Warren calls Elon Musk's Twitter deal 'dangerous for our democracy'

Soon after Elon Musk reached a deal on Monday to buy Twitter for about $44 billion, Sen. Elizabeth Warren blasted the business arrangement.
www.boston.com
The comments by Elizabeth Warren are especially egregious. Jeff Bezois, another billionaire bought the Washington Post for a mere $250 million. The Washington Post is essentially the propaganda arm of the Democratic party. Micheal Bloomberg spent over $100 million on an ant-Trump vendetta. Not to be outdone, Mark Zuckerberg spent approximately $419 million to manipulate the 2020 election process to favor Biden. I suspect that Elizabeth Warren has nothing negative to say about these actions as being dangerous to democracy.

Coincidentally, on the Tucker Carson show tonight; Jimmy Fallon, a comedian, had a great Warren one-liner.--> "Warren sold me a red Cherokee, but it turned out to be a white Suburban".
 
And the winner is?
Perhaps the dumbest observation yet. Ari Melber is "concerned" that Musk's control of Twitter (at the 1 minute mark), may sway a future election. Melber must have missed that social media did exactly that to sway the prior 2020 election to favor of Biden. I suspect that once Melber becomes aware of that, that he will never apologize for that clueless diatribe.

While we vigorously focus on Twitter, there is a "new" story emerging that potentially has significant effects on managing the news.

The Chinese Communist Party tries to gobble up Forbes media

Concerns are growing on Capitol Hill over an agreement that would see a company with links to the Chinese Communist Party take ownership of Forbes Global
www.washingtonexaminer.com www.washingtonexaminer.com
China's intention seems pretty clear. The CCP wants to use a very thinly veiled corporate cutout to buy Forbes and then use it as a Western media platform to advance the party's interests. Considering that the party's central U.S. interest rests on the expansion of political, economic, and military space for Chinese global hegemony, let's hope Secretary Yellen heeds Waltz's concerns. After all, do we really want Peng using Forbes to educate us about the Uyghurs?

Will those on the "left" aggressively rise-up to prevent this acquisition of a media platform that could easily spread "disinformation"?
Probably not.
 
Coincidence? :unsure:
Today, the Biden administration through Mayorkas has proposed the establishment of a “Disinformation Governance Board”. The pushing of "disinformation" has been going on for sometime and was successfully implemented by the Democrats to "steal" the 2020 election. Evidently, Musk's acquisition of Twitter has caused a panic attack within the Democratic party ranks and they are now rapidly and formally putting an Orwellian Ministry of Truth into operation to suppress those opposed to the Biden administration.

Ironically, the first person who should be investigated by the proposed “Disinformation Governance Board” is Mayorkas who just lied before Congress claiming that the border crises was a result of the Trump administration "breaking it" and Congress "failing to act". The reality is that the Biden administration "opened the border" as a planned action to "transform" the US as proposed by then President Obama.
 
The latest comment of Elon on coca-cola is on a different level. "Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in". I don't know if Elon has purchased twitter for free speech or for his personal advertisement.

Just a reminder, Musk does not own twitter yet.

No reminder necessary. In my various posts, I referenced such implications. In Post #43 there is a reference to Musk not being able to make disparaging remarks concerning Twitter before the purchase agreement is finalized or the deal falls through. In Post #32, I wrote: "The corporate board of Twitter and Musk have reached a deal. .... The fact that it is not trading at $54.20, is worth pondering." This is similar to buying a piece of real estate, you reach "a deal", but it is not final until the seller (in the case of real estate) is paid and the property is registered with the Register of Deeds. In the case of a stock there is an other very obvious tell. When it trades below the offered purchase price (as is the case with Twitter), that is a clear indication that a large number of people, brokers, and investment firms still believe that the deal will fall through. No need to "ponder" had the deal been completed since you would be holding a check for $54.20 (times the number of shares held).

Yeah, the Whitehouse had to turn off their "downvoting" on their website because they were being ratioed horribly. The same goes for YouTube they do not want you to see how truly unpopular they really are.
