Elon Musk nears deal..

[ironglow]

It looks like Elon Musk is ready to take over the helm at Twitter.

   When the bosses at Twitter refused to cooperate, Musk went to individual stock holders..so it would be a 'hostile takeover" !
   
  This would be  a victory for neither the left nor the right...but a win for the US Constitution..
 
    Three cheers for Elon Musk !

So much time effort and investment spent on such an insignificant enterprise.  But I guess this is where we've come to in the realm of "free speech."

Guessing the PTB are mortified at the possibility and wonder what dirty tricks the Biden admin has planned in response.

[BUGEYE]

I like it.

[Dixie-Dude]

Musk said maybe he should buy CNN for $1 and make it into a news company. 

[Dee]

Musk now owns Twitter. Done deal.

[VA Rifleman]

Anything that makes the Dems go bat crap crazy is good news.

Another swing of the pendulum.

1. Dems and MSM allies loose control of the narrative to small Internet startups.

2. Dems take effective control of same and introduce censorship.

3. Musk hostile takeover of the planets most influential political speech platform.

Its amazing how the left is complaining about this and going hysterical over it.   They don't want free speech, because free speech is a threat to their power.  The Marxists in power now will find a way to punish Musk, and not allow free speech taking place on Twitter. They know perfectly well that their power is diminished with free speech. How else would they spread their misinformation about global viruses and their miserable responses to them? How else would they win elections or groom children into a perverted sexual worldview? How else would they favor their own voices on issues like abortion, inflation, health care, voting, vaccines, sex, the border, the military, churches, riots,  or foreign policy without  manipulation?

Even losing one platform? Maybe. There are a lot of stupid people out there. For instance, now we can believe what msm says because after losing all credibility through lies and deceit they would not risk lying again how comical...

Free speech platforms and the control/censure of these platforms are all in the hands of the world's billionaires and deep state. They can do what they want and change their minds as they pretty much please.

In Musk's case we will how his plans turn out, and then test his platform. You can test his new Twitter by posting things like: men cannot have babies, there are only male and female sexes, abortion is evil, Biden is a fake president, covid is a fraud.....and see what happens.

Thing is Musk could have built his own free speech platform from scratch for alot less money...ALOT LESS. Then he has to wait 6 months for full control. Twitter is the main weapon and propaganda asset of the far left globalist faction and deep state. In 6 months they can continue to bend the midterm elections, then steal all the codes and destroy Twitter and leaving Musk with little but wreckage. I don’t know what he was thinking doing business like this.
.

Elon Musk has far more business assets, and experience, along with people educated in business than anyone here at GBO, so I'm not gonna criticize him until I see this "so-called blunder" come to fruition.

How is he "my boy"? And have you got a link concerning your claim of his "anti gun" stance?

Ya got a link proving he is pro second amendment?

[Dee]

Well, I  wasn't criticizing Musk per say.I was commenting on his thought process on his  Twitter deal for forum discussion, and some of the variables. As a businessman I often wonder how these aristocrats form their decisions.
Also, mentioned how we can test out the new Musk Twitter....
Seems like Dee is anxious to defend Musk when nobody has attacked him. We just have to see how it all pans out.
.

Defend him? Another delusional statement on your part. I guess disagreeing with you in any way merits your "goofy conclusions" like this one. Saying "wait and see" is defending. I  know him, about as well as you know Putin, your hero.
