Elon Musk buys a big chunk of Twitter
-
The interesting part about all the crying and rending of cloth, is that Musk is only taking Twitter back to what it originally was...
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Written by a friend:
Virgil Caine was my name and I worked at Twitter HQ
Till Elon Musk bought us up, and I didn’t know what to do
In the Spring of ’22, we were all woke, the whole bloody crew
But by April, Musk was our boss,
our control had taken such a lossThe night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
and all its algorithms
The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
and brought free speech with him
they went, “La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la”I sat in my Tesla and had a good cry
wiping the tears from my eye
you know Trump’ll be back and our narrative might as well die
I can’t handle all that truth
And now that we’ve lost Ruth
there no sense in going to Court
and it’s too late to start selling short”The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
and all its algorithms
The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
and brought free speech with him
they went, “La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la”Unlike my father before me, I can’t work the land,
Facebook, Google, and Tik Tok, are all I have planned,
31, looking for work
blew my hips out trying to twerk
I swear on my avatar’s life
I’ll just have to make it on the salary earned by my wifeThe night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
and all its algorithms
The night Musk bought ol’ Twitter up
and brought free speech with him
they went, “La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la -

Next thing you know, Elon will create his own cologne. The name will be...
Musk, by Musk.
He said if there is ever a scandal involving him, he wants it called “ELONGATE”.

That was used when he mused on Twitter about taking Tesla private and got in trouble with the SEC.

First rat jumps ship:
Talcom X is already back. I figured it was temporary. What else is he going to do besides tweet? Get a job?

Hmmm…..
We all know what to say out loud if we want to tempt the wrath of the 'far left'. What does one say out loud that would run afoul of the 'far right', again?
More or less the opposite? Transwomen are women, biological sex is not real, Trump lost in a landslide, etc.

Who is Talcom? Who is Shaun? When I open Twitter I can't tell which is a new tweet and which is a pinned tweet, or who tweeted him! What is going on! WHAT IS ROBLOX! WHAT IS ELDEN KING!

I understand there are opposing positions to classically right positions, I’m just curious what sort of speech the “far right” would use its power to silence or cancel. Or maybe this discussion should start with an acknowledgment that the “far right” has no power to silence or cancel, while the “far left” has all that power within the moderation practices of big tech, and within the culture in general. But that power imbalance would fly in the face of any claim that both sides are equally problematic, so we know it can’t be true.

Raise your hand if you’ve been in work meetings where people introduce themselves by announcing their pronouns? I have. Actually only one guy, several months ago. A straight white male who wanted to announce to the workplace that he was down with the cause, but totally normal personally. It made me cringe. I actually knew the guy pretty well, having worked with him pretty closely several years ago, before he left the company for several years, only to come back recently. Straight white male STEM phd, completely indoctrinated but relatively bright otherwise.
