Absolute power corrupts, absolutely. TDS is a helluva drug.

no we just need to know if Vaj/Yoel were getting extra…”incentive” or “motivation” … from “other parties” to push their twisting of policy and decisions

Just shows how brainwashed somebody with low emotional intelligence can be. Trump could have found the cure to cancer and they would have claimed it was poison if the MSM told them it was.

If Trump cured cancer, they'd skyscream until their vocal cords ripped loose on one side about how he was making global overpopulation worse.

MSNBC briefly covered this this morning
Key take aways:
- This was a terrible financial decision for Elon
- None of the hosts friends talk about their Teslas anymore
- Elons approval rating is terrible compared to where it was (I didnt know regular humans had approval ratings)
That was the extent of the coverage of that today... These people just do not care anymore

There is some genius in Musk using multiple credible journalists to release this information in pieces. It's pretty easy for the left to say, "Taibbi is just some right wing fanatic". A bit harder to say, Taibbi, Weiss, Schellenberger, etc... are just all of a sudden right wing loons because they are exposing twitter's shadiness.

It’s like he ignores 500 Years of Muslims invading Europe before the 1st crusade , including conquering many areas of Spain

The left is quick to point out how a Republican's words can lead to violent acts, yet whistle past the graveyard when their toadies at Twitter and other platforms use justifications like "threat to democracy" and Trump is "Hitler" to justify Trump's first amendment rights being violated. These phrases are cornerstones of the Democrats illusory truth effect.
Yet another case of naked hypocrisy from the American left.

These same warped people who loathe Trump...really dont' know why they hate Trump so much, just that they hate him more than they love their family. These same people, are also working on hating Elon Musk just as much. If you ask them why, they can't give you a truthful or logical answer. All they know, is their lives are consumed with the hate they hold for people they are told to hate.
These people have certain parts missing in them, that most humans have. Their lives are empty. I mean, completely and utterly empty. Hate is the only thing that keeps them moving forward. It's sad and pathetic to watch.

40. Merkel’s spokesperson called Twitter’s decision to ban Trump from its platform “problematic” and added that the freedom of opinion is of “elementary significance.”
Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny criticized the ban as “an unacceptable act of censorship.”
41. Whether you agree with Navalny and Macron or the executives at Twitter, we hope this latest installment of #TheTwitterFiles gave you insight into that unprecedented decision.
42. From the outset, our goal in investigating this story was to discover and document the steps leading up to the banning of Trump and to put that choice into context.
43. Ultimately, the concerns about Twitter’s efforts to censor news about Hunter Biden’s laptop, blacklist disfavored views, and ban a president aren’t about the past choices of executives in a social media company.
44. They’re about the power of a handful of people at a private company to influence the public discourse and democracy.

A) His First Amendment rights are not harmed by a private company deciding he violated their terms of service and suspending his account.
B) It says a lot about you that you'd think these are in any way similar.

Would love to know names and roles of those having these convos... Looks like a handful were staunchly against the ban and attempting to fight back.

Partially true. His first amendment rights are not infringed if twitter takes it upon itself to ban Trump. However, once the FBI gets involved to discuss who is allowed free speech on twitter and who is not, is another factor altogether.

Not really. But it's a good thing that didn't happen, regardless.

Are you really that entrenched that you refuse to acknowledge such basic facts?
I guess you have every right to be upset. Musk just came in and exposed/eliminated your party's greatest propaganda tool.
