Elon Musk purchasing Twitter
Twitter’s company board accepted Elon Musk’s bid to purchase Twitter. The decision was unanimous. Musk will be purchasing the social media site for $44 billion dollars. His statements hint that he’s going to take Twitter in a direction that is not going to make many on the left happy.
From Fox News:
Musk has secured approximately $46.5 billion to finance the transaction, including $25.5 billion of fully committed debt and margin loan financing and $21 billion equity in equity financing. The transaction is expected to close in 2022, subject to the approval of Twitter stockholders, the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.
Twitter independent board chairman Brett Taylor said the company “conducted a thoughtful and comprehensive process to assess Elon’s proposal with a deliberate focus on value, certainty, and financing.”
Musk, a self-described “free-speech absolutist,” has been critical of the platform and its chief executive Parag Agrawal’s approach to free speech.
“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” Musk said in a statement. “I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans. Twitter has tremendous potential — I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.”

Good!
Elon Musk just commented this on his Twitter account:
“I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means”.
We’ll see. I’m curious if he’ll ax @ElonJet:

Always okay when left/libtard proggies do anything:
Yep. that be “Business Insider” alright! I hate when their garbage is in my browser’s “news” feed. Usually, it’s nothing but TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! Now they have another bogyman to foam at the mouth about.
Plus:
Must be nice to have a spare 40+ billions of $s laying around to buy whatever you want to. Have at it, Elon. Won’t really affect me, I ain’t a Twitter Twat. My “social media” footprint is pretty much limited to TAH and a coupla other Vet oriented sites.
Does this mean we get mean tweets, $1.79 gas, a secure border, and full grocery store shelves back again? Kool!
I was proudly banned for life by Twitter for calling Hillary Clinton an uncomplimentary name and posting a ‘toon:
The ‘toon:
Not to mention…
“If Elon Musk buys Twitter, I’m deleting the App” is the new “If Trump wins, I’m moving to Canada..”

DARK MAGA time!
Liberal tears. I wash my balls in them.
🤔 😂 👊
“Airports should be packed today with all of those people threatening to leave the Country if Elon Musk acquires Twitter…”
😆 😉 😎
Am not on facebook, titter or any other social media site. Only on our Group Me Fire Dept. Company site limited to only the members of our company.
When Trump gets his twitter back there is going to be a lot of liberal constipation cured.
45 says he ain’t going back. Or so he says. Twitter & FB cx of Trump was a gift, imo. 45 was protected from his own Twitter rants. If he had checked himself, he’s probably still POTUS, and we don’t have a Weekend at Bernie’s currently at the WH.
I was only pointing out the leftist screech to come.
I agree with what you posted.
The worst thing about Trump is his loudmouth.
One of the best things about Trump is his loudmouth.
Popcorn stocks are going up up up, shits about to get real entertaining!
*POP!*, *POP!*, *POP!*,… liberal heads exploding everywhere while I enjoy the Schadenfreude!!!
BWUUUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
Gonna get spicy!
Been saying for years that we need to have conservative billionaires buy up more media corporations to reverse this anti-free speech trend or at least balance things out a bit.
But this particular situation is just dripping with irony, what with the most successful developer of electric automobiles being the first to do it.
That pinko-freak video nails it… 😜 😝 😜
Much like politicians who say one thing then do another, I think I’ll wait and see. My guess is lawyers will still restrict certain things from being posted.
After all, even Truth Social does that. You know, Trump’s social media site:

But, LC, with Musk it’s a matter of saying he’s not going to do something, eh?
He’s not going to censor the expression of conservative viewpoints… 🤔 😉 😜
The Guy doing the pinko-hippie spoof has a bunch of spoof videos out there, he unloads on Vegans as well!
No guarantees.
AOL had it all 20 years ago, and threw it all down the toilet.
Yahoo, too.
Then Rupert thought he could revolutionize MySpace,
and lost half a billion.
So, this will be very interesting,
especially when the triple ID verifying of EVERY Twitter member
(a la PayPal, eBay, etc.) is implemented,
making every anonymoose and sockpuppet
rethink their “freedom of speech”
when their verified ID is attached.
This will not only hit hard on the left,
the far right (wingnuts) will also feel the heat.
Good luck without the handles, sockpuppets,
and hiding behind the fake names and phony identities.
UPSIDE – Stolen Valor military phonies will soon be
much less likely to push their suck on TwitWorld.

Also,
I’m not seeing much advertising in the World of Twit.
The Book of the Face now squeezes in the ads on 3 sides,
and also “Sponsored Ad” posts in the public wall. (annoying)
Expect more of that mixed in with the future Twits.

Farcebook (a.k.a., Meta) is withering as we speak.
Waste one’s life on Zuckerberg and virtual reality that can’t even get anywhere close to Grand Theft Auto? No.
Oh, shit! The defenders of Democracy might now have to deal The First Amendment…
They don’t like it? Well, they can create their own platform…
The Purple Hair Brigade is having a bad week:
CNN+ died
Grooming took a big hit
Obama didn’t get renewed
What’s next?
What’s next? Bloomberg has an article about our strategic oil supply being loaded on a tanker and sold to Europe.
The link was at ace of spades hq, but the tab keeps crashing on me. Dunno why.
They made it sound like they were helping you and I. Wonder who got the money.
It’s so our Democrat overlords can reduce us to serfs eating bugs and living with wind power for the greater good, comrade!
Overheard at a local shopping establishment (gas station, grocery store whatever), that they thought the revolution was fought for lesser matters than what’s happening today. More than a few nodding of heads.
This comment was made by a very elderly gentlemen who may have been around at that time.
Not being judgemental, but by his appearance, at some point in his life, he didn’t back down from much of anything.
It was almost like he was reminiscing about his good old days. 40 or 50 years ago, he would probably give anybody a good run for their money.
Pretty neat listening that old man talk.
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!! WE MUST CONTROL THE MESSAGE!! ORANGE MAN BAD!!! LIFETIME BANS FOR ALL THAT OPPOSE US!!!
Gooooood, let the perpetual butthurt flow through you. BWUUUUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
Just received a message from LARS mom’s, he locked himself is basement again.
Are these two his mommies? 😜
Hell yeah!
It’s racist!

That didn’t take long.
I knew they were going to start screaming rayciss, South African, apartheid, and white supremacy as soon as he started down this road. By next week the rabid progs will be screaming he is a Nazi and secret member of the Klan.
I saw the news and gave a cheer. Frankly I avoided twitter just like tiktok given the BS on each. I will still avoid tiktok but am giving serious thought to joining twitter, finally, just to watch the melt down.
I’ll just leave this here… 😜
