    Just a bit more of my mindless thoughts. I don't really even like Elon Musk. Actually I think he's annoying little brat and the real cause of this is to even more muddy the waters and divide us. All of these celebrity CEO's are makes my skin crawl. Why would anyone idolize someone like him? He's always been this superstar and cool and whatever.

    Remember when there was a middle in between left and right? Yep. That's gone. Can't be in the middle with any of our opinions. There are only two opinions now and you can't really disagree with anything. There's only the public opinion narrated by MSM or no opinion at all. So, this will be interesting. Will Elon Musk dare to bring Trump back? I don't think so. Will all those lefties leave Twitter who said they're going to if Elon Musk becomes boss? I don't think this will happen either.

    Dear Twitterati – Leave the Road to Serfdom, Learn to Code

    Date: October 28, 2022
    Author: Tom Luongo

    So, Elon Musk completed his purchase of Twitter and the pink slips are flying. From the C-Suite to the CS desk in a few weeks Twitter will cease to be the company we’ve all loved to hate delivering a product we hated to love.

    From the beginning of this saga I maintained that it didn’t matter in the end if Musk prevailed or not. What was important was his ripping the duct tape off the hairy ass of the ridiculous double standard at work.

    Every stupid argument you’ve heard justifying Twitter’s behavior was invalidated during Musk’s six month quest to overpay for one of the biggest pillars of the control engine operated by the patriarchy oligarchy.

    From the moment that Musk made his initial overture to his walking in and firing the leadership, this story has been equal parts hilarious and thrilling.

    First, Musk makes an offer the Twitter board can’t refuse without incriminating themselves, which puts to the test all the academic poison pill theories about how to defend against a hostile takeover.

    As always, academic bull**** failed the real world sniff test.

    You know kinda like what’s in the process of happening to the ultimate academic egghead Klaus von Commie Schnitzel and his moronic Great Reset.


    Second he outed every bit of Twitter’s leadership and middle management as a feckless bunch of Davos trolls with layers of plausible deniability who never thought they would ever get caught. And then Pieter Zatko entered the conversation, blowing up the idea that Twitter’s censorship was just rogue purple hairs revealing brown shirts underneath their playful exterior.

    Quote But that doesn’t cover the half of it. The reality is that it wasn’t some evil mandated corporate conspiracy, but rather a poorly-built internal architecture which was purposefully allowed to remain broken for plausible deniability purposes.

    “ALL THAT TWITTERS IS NOT FAIRY DUST”


    Ooops..

    Because no one ever thought that Musk would turn his corporatist bribes, I mean Tesla shares, into weapons of mass formation psychosis destruction. Really? No one could see this coming? Then again this is the same media that can’t see anything that isn’t scrolling up the teleprompter.

    Lastly, he called everyone’s bluff and just said, “Screw it, it’s just money.” And he’s more right than you can ever really imagine. Because the rise and fall of Woke Twitter is a harbinger of things to come now that Outside Money is getting its revenge against the depredations of Inside Money.

    Quote When civilization breaks down, legal claims tend towards zero value. Civilization breaks down through the systemic subversion of the agreed upon rules to the advantage of some at the expense of the other.

    And what bigger subversion of the rule, “thou shalt not steal” could there be than a debt-based Ponzi scheme of inside money being used to suck up legal claims to most of the world’s valuable resources while actively suppressing the value of the competing outside money to defend people’s claims to it?

    THE INS AND OUTS OF WHOSE MONEY IS IT, ANYWAY?
    What the credit bubble giveth on the way up — empowering billionaire Satanists to providing welfare jobs to harpy millennial chicks and the soyboys who simp for them — taketh away twice as fast on the way down.

    What was that about Elon top-ticking Tesla again for FU Money?

    I have to believe that part of Musk’s decision to finally just buy Twitter despite the fictitious valuation (and userbase) was the grief he got publicly for going against the war orthodoxy of the collective West (and specifically Davos’ enforcement of a single point of view) over, of all things, using Twitter to engage in discussion about what the outcome in Ukraine should look like.

    I guess advocating for peace and to stop angry Slavs from murdering each other is no longer a core “European value.”

    Actually, now that I type that out, it never was.

    Musk could have dragged this out for months and proven in court that Twitter was a cesspit. But, we’re edging closer to a point of no return over Ukraine; a point we are being railroaded towards by psychopaths and solipsistic assholes who never met a dead member of the hoi polloi, especially of the wrong ethnicity, they didn’t give a second thought to.

    And note which entity at the last tried to stop his taking over Twitter, the “Biden” White House who tried to claim it was a National Security issue.


    For ****s’ sake.

    All these Davos ninnies can do now is talk about the EU’s rules for hate speech. The shakedown and the finger-wagging has already begun. It’s important to remember that free speech in the US is a matter of law. In Europe so is hate speech.

    So, Europe is now testing another academic idea in the real world. Can they dictate to the world their speech rules to an international company and force everyone onto its standard?

    Of course it will fail, but that’s exactly what this tired EU apparatchik believes he can do.



    I hate to break it to Thierry, Musk can and will just hive Europe off on its own servers with their own sanitized feeds and see how long the EU can maintain control over that. The technology is simple the only thing missing previously was the will to implement it.

    So, if Europe doesn’t want to participate in open dialogue with the rest of humanity, they are free not to do so.

    Say hello to North Korea for me, Thierry.

    I mean for pity’s sake even Vladimir Putin is laughing at us and our fragile widdle egos needing to protect ourselves from unpure thoughts…. unless it’s child porn or ISIS calls for violence.

    But as happy as I am to see Twitter begin the process back to something resembling a communications platform interested in all of its customers, I’m even happier to write the following open letter to those Musk is about to put on the unemployment line.

    Dear Tumblrina von Safespace,

    This is what the real world looks like when someone takes away the punch bowl and the easy money engine goes into reverse gear. It’s not your fault, it’s just that the grown ups have finally looked at the credit card bills and said, “Um.. no.”


    So, if I were y’all at this point I’d lose the nose ring, shave the purple hair and throw them in the circular file right next to your unsustainable and egregious sense of entitlement. Because this isn’t a small setback on the road to woke serfdom, it’s the first step away from the abyss the society was staring into.

    Honestly, we only tolerated it because we had no real other choice. But, the bribes were good enough for most of us. Now, the cost is a little bigger than just silencing a bunch of self-marginalizing bigots who LARP as neo-Nazis on /pol.

    The costs now involve normalizing nihilism, grooming children for sex slavery and nuclear war.

    Not one cell in my body this morning feels one erg of regret or sympathy for you or the violence you did to the square of public debate.

    You happily acted as thought enforcers for globalists who hate you.
    When you could have performed real acts of rebellion by not enforcing the Terms of Service, approving blue checkmarks for non-Marxists, and using your root priv to sabotage the algorithm rather than reinforcing it.

    But I will concede that some of you are simply victims of false expectations created by a society grown careless and sloppy thanks to decades of the corrupting influence of fake money sending the false signal that anything you had to say was worth one moment’s consideration by anyone with a pulse.

    So, and I mean this with all the violence and metaphor my words can muster…

    Learn. To. ****ing. Code.

    good thing, he ALREADY had competent staff

    unaccustomed to resorting to threats to exert their will

    and a pretty good understanding that their "job" is to follow orders of the boss

    or find another source of income ..

    as always, it is ALL about CHOICE


    i was impressed, until i realized he'd have to be a fool to have failed to do that

    waiting til noon, gave ample time for "modifications" (deletions and obfuscations) not completed earlier

    but fool he isn't, and that means he KNOWS what WE expect of him

    and is making ALL the right overtures to signify follow through


    Elon Musk has started removing Twitter shadowbans and search bans.





    though this has been largely qualified




    either to protect against investor lawsuits

    or to provide cover for failure to follow through remains to be seens

    nevertheless, reason for optimism remains!





    and there is yet hope that this will be true ...






    in the meantime .... i'm enjoying the bit of validation and concessions ...

    Arizona Governor Candidate Kari Lake invited Elon Musk to move Twitter HQ to Arizona



    Kari Lake Makes An Offer To Elon Musk —
    “DM Me And We’ll Work It Out!”

    according to Gateway Pundit:

    Conservative Brief reported:

    "Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, who is leading her Democratic opponent, has made a pitch to Elon Musk after the billionaire entrepreneur took over control of Twitter this week.

    Lake, who has a roughly 3-point lead over Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, appealed to the SpaceX and Tesla founder to move Twitter’s headquarters to her state.

    “Hey @elonmusk — you have an open invitation to move @Twitter HQ to Arizona. DM me and we’ll work it out!” the former Phoenix-area newscaster tweeted on Friday."

    The Republican Majority Rep. Leo Biasiucci seconded the invitation.




    Many others loved the idea!








    "Arizona Governor Candidate Kari Lake invited Elon Musk to move Twitter HQ to Arizona.


    Lake has an 11-point lead over Democrat Katie Hobbs, according to a new FOX 10 InsiderAdvantage poll.

    Only about 2% of voters are undecided in the race, according to the poll.

    Fox10 reported:

    A new FOX 10 InsiderAdvantage poll shows the race for Governor – widening a bit. But the race for U.S. Senate is turning into a dead heat.

    With less than 2 weeks to go before the November election, Republican Kari Lake leads Democrat Katie Hobbs by 11 percentage points. Only about 2% of voters are undecided. Pollster Matt Towery believes that Hobbs’ reluctance to debate Lake may be a reason why the gap has widened in recent weeks. According to InsiderAdvantage, Lake is polling higher among older adults and Hispanics.

    Should Elon Musk move Twitter to Arizona?"

    article here


    The Free Press reports:

    "Republican Kari Lake leads Democrat Katie Hobbs by 11 points in the Arizona gubernatorial race with less than two weeks left before the midterm elections, according to a new poll released Wednesday.

    Fifty-four percent of respondents said they would vote for Lake as opposed to 43% who said they would vote for Hobbs, according to the FOX 10 InsiderAdvantage poll."

    I think it's likely Trump has investors and commitments to Truth Social that he would prefer that those be his focus for the time being. Also, Trump has said he is very happy with the TS platform. I joined TS just so I could hear what he has to say without all the 'baggage.'

    At this point, I believe it would do more harm than good giving some political parties something else to weaponize, divide and distract.

    I'm confident there are other accounts that would help more than harm and may sneak under the radar.

    It's just getting silly out there!

    Crowder gets put in YouTube time out.

    I'm sure Midterm Elections being in a week had nothing to do with it…

    Musk's going to get into everything and find out what they were hiding, who was hiding it, how many bots are really on board and document it all. Then he is going to go after all involved and this will all be in the news cycle again. Just watch! He ain't done with those guys celebrating their millions! They better save up enough for good lawyers that is my advice and Elon better have a very trustworthy highly trained security detail that's all I'm gonna say. Accidents happen. Even to rich guys.
    The genius consistently stands out from the masses in that he unconsciously anticipates truths of which the population as a whole only later becomes conscious! Speech-circa 1937

    God bless Elon. Though a very imperfect man, he is clearly being lead by God in his actions, and being used to lead more to the truth of the evils that are being perpetrated against them. All glory to the Holy Spirit, who uses imperfect, sinful men, working through them for great deeds.

    Quote Elon Musk bizarrely responds to Hillary Clinton after she links 'hate and deranged conspiracy theories' from GOP to Paul Pelosi's attack: 'There might be more to this story than meets the eye'

    KATIE BALEVICOCT 30, 2022, 20:48 IST

    Elon Musk, fresh off his acquisition of Twitter, said there might be "more to the story" on Paul Pelosi's assault, which left House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband with a skull fracture and serious injuries.

    In a tweeted reply to Hillary Clinton, Musk shared a link to a site with conspiracy theories about the attack.

    Clinton condemned the assault, accusing the "Republican Party and its mouthpieces" of regularly spreading "hate and deranged conspiracy theories."

    "It is shocking, but not surprising, that violence is the result. As citizens, we must hold them accountable for their words and the actions that follow," Clinton tweeted with a link to a Los Angeles Times report about how the suspect in the assault previously spread right-wing QAnon conspiracy theories, antisemitism, and bigotry.

    "There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye," Musk replied, linking to a site with the headline, "The Awful Truth: Paul Pelosi Was Drunk Again, And In a Dispute With a Male Prostitute Early Friday Morning."

    The site appeared to be inaccessible shortly after Musk shared a link.

    Authorities have not yet released a motive for the attack on Paul Pelosi, though the suspect was reportedly shouting "Where is Nancy?" when he broke into the house around 2:30 a.m. on Friday morning, Business Insider previously reported. Speaker Pelosi was not home at the time.

    In a statement released Saturday, Pelosi said "a violent man broke into our family home, demanded to confront me and brutally attacked my husband Paul."

    "Our children, our grandchildren and I are heartbroken and traumatized by the life-threatening attack on our Pop," she said in the statement.

    Police identified the suspect as 42-year-old David DePape. Following the assault, Paul Pelosi underwent surgery to repair a skull fracture and is expected to make a full recovery.

    While several mainstream conservatives have condemned the assault, some right-wing pundits have cast doubt and shared conspiracy theories about the attack.

    On Fox News, host Jesse Watters criticized the police response to Paul Pelosi's assault, suggesting that the response was stronger because of Pelosi's status as the spouse of the House Speaker, Business Insider previously reported.

    Meanwhile, GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger called out fellow Republicans for promoting the same election conspiracy theories that the suspect in the assault had shared.

    anyway, it made me think of this






    here is ONE instance of Musk exposing the TRUTH

    where he certainly IS not stuttering about exposing the blatant deception

    and, given what it pertains to, the criminal activities of the leaders of the Democratic Party

    for which there is sufficient evidence

    and in higher circles, is not even disputed




    Elon Musk Rips 2016 Hillary Clinton Tweet As ‘Campaign Hoax’


    Elon Musk, who himself has become embroiled in a scandal he has dubbed “Elongate,” responded to the ‘Russiagate’ story that made headlines on Friday as a result of an ongoing federal trial.

    The SpaceX, Tesla, and Starlink founder and CEO over the weekend called out a tweet by two-time presidential loser Hillary Clinton as a “hoax,” which she sent out shortly before the 2016 election.

    “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank,” Clinton wrote in the October 31, 2016, tweet, which contained a lengthy memo from one of her then-top aides, Jake Sullivan, now serving as President Joe Biden’s national security adviser.

    Sullivan claimed: “This could be the most direct link yet between Donald Trump and Moscow. Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank. This secret hotline may be the key to unlocking the mystery of Trump’s ties to Russia. It certainly seems the Trump Organization felt it had something to hide, given that it apparently took steps to conceal the link when it was discovered by journalists.”




    On Friday evening, a Twitter user asked Musk if he planned to crack down on disinformation if his deal to purchase the platform goes through.

    “@elonmusk I have reported this tweet as misleading disinformation to the powers that be at @twitter. I would be interested to know if, when you receive control over the company, anything was done with this at any level. Pls advise soonest,” the user wrote.

    You are absolutely correct.
    That tweet is a Clinton campaign hoax
    for which their campaign lawyer
    is undergoing a criminal trial,”
    Musk responded

    “You are absolutely correct. That tweet is a Clinton campaign hoax for which their campaign lawyer is undergoing a criminal trial,” Musk responded as he linked to a story from the BBC about the ongoing trial of Michael Sussmann, who served as an attorney for the Clinton campaign in 2016.

    Sussmann has been accused by special counsel John Durham of lying to the FBI, telling then-general counsel James Baker he was not working on behalf of any clients when he passed along the fake claim about a link between Kremlin-aligned Alfa Bank and Trump’s company."

    The Daily Wire adds:

    During the trial last week, Clinton’s campaign manager testified that Clinton personally authorized her campaign to share computer data — which has since been debunked — that purportedly linked Trump with a Russian bank.

    Robby Mook, her 2016 campaign manager who testified as a defense witness for Sussmann, said he spoke with Clinton about the supposed link, and said the discussion went like, “Hey, we have this and we want to share it with a reporter,” he said.

    “She agreed,” Mook testified, indicating that Clinton herself personally signed off on spreading the false narrative.

    Former President Donald Trump reacted on Saturday to Mook’s testimony, asking specifically how he was supposed to get his reputation back.

    Trump said in an interview with Fox News Digital that the entire Russia investigation is “one of the greatest political scandals in history,” and that he likely will “never” get his “reputation fully back.”

    “This is one of the greatest political scandals in history,” Trump told Fox News. “For three years, I had to fight her off, and fight those crooked people off, and you’ll never get your reputation fully back.”

    “Where do I get my reputation back?” Trump reiterated.

    “I had to fight them off,” Trump said. “And if we had real leadership, instead of people like Mitch McConnell, they would do something about it. And guys like Bill Barr. They would have done something about it.”

    The former president also said that the law enforcement and intelligence resources used to investigate the phony allegation during the 2016 campaign distracted them from what “could have been a real danger with Russia.”

    Elon Musk speaks with employees including fired top counsel Vijaya Gadde (left) on Wednesday after taking over at Twitter. She was responsible for permanently banning President Trump from the site - a move that Musk says he will reverse

    REVEALED: Elon Musk plans to carry out mass Twitter layoffs
    THIS WEEKEND in order to deny employees stock grants
    that were scheduled for dispersal Tuesday

    The Daily Mail reports:


    • Musk, 51, took over Twitter on Thursday night, finalizing a $44 billion deal to buy the social media company

    • On Thursday night he fired many of the company's top executives - among them the CEO, chief financial officer, head of legal, and general counsel

    • Musk has said he aims to make Twitter a bastion of free speech and discussion and to make the company more profitable

    • His takeover, first rumored in April, has left staff shaken: on Saturday, The New York Times reported he is to begin layoffs as soon as today

    • On November 1 employees were scheduled to receive stock grants as part of their compensation: Musk is believed to intend to preempt that


    Elon Musk is considering firing large numbers of Twitter employees on Saturday, according to a report - in order to stop them from receiving their November 1 stock grants.

    Musk, 51, took control of Twitter on Thursday, on completion of a contentious $44 billion deal.

    He immediately fired the CEO, chief financial officer, head of legal, and general counsel.

    Musk has said he plans on trimming down the company and making it profitable, and ever since his takeover was first raised in April staff have braced themselves for job losses.

    In a securities filing on April 14, Musk said he did not have confidence in Twitter's management and initially vowed to sack 75 percent of the workforce when he formally bought the tech giant.

    On Saturday, The New York Times said the losses could come immediately - in part to skirt the November 1 deadline.

    On November 1, employees will be issued with stock - for many, a large part of their annual compensation package.

    Musk could avoid making the grants if the staff are let go before then, the paper reported.

    Four sources told the paper that some managers are being asked to draw up lists of employees to cut, as Musk tries to whittle down the staff numbers from its current 7,500.

    Musk on Saturday did not discuss his plans - instead tweeting about the delights of bread, pastry and carbohydrates.

    'Finally, the truth that carbs are amazing can be said on this platform! #FreeSpeech,' he tweeted.

    He added: '#SoBrave'





    Musk is believed to have ordered the cuts across the company, with some teams to be harder hit than others, said three of the people.

    It was not clear how many people would be let go.

    Just a day before being fired by Musk, Twitter lawyer Vijaya Gadde was photographed glaring at her new boss in an awkward meet-up with other employees at the HQ coffee bar.

    Gadde, widely considered the 'head of censorship' at Twitter, had been vocal in her criticism of Musk; she cried during a meeting in April after he first announced plans to buy the company. She was a well-known Democrat donor and was behind the decision to squash links to a New York Post story about Hunter Biden's incriminating laptop before the 2020 election.

    Musk had publicly slammed her for the decision.

    On Wednesday, she was spotted with Musk and others at the coffee bar at Twitter HQ. The next day, she was fired along with CEO Parag Agrawal and CFO Ned Segal.





    Vijaya Gadde was photographed glaring at her new boss
    in an awkward meet-up with other employees at the HQ coffee bar.

    But she walks away with a sizeable payout - a total of $72million in stocks that she owned, salary and benefits, and stocks that had not yet vested when she was in her position but which are now paid out as part of the deal.

    MarketWatch reports that Gadde, Agrawal and Segal take a combined 'golden parachute' of $204million; Agrawal gets $66million and Segal takes $65million.

    Musk has not yet publicly named their replacements but he is expected to act as interim CEO at least on a temporary basis.

    Friday also marked the return of Musk's friend, Kanye West, to Twitter after the troubled rapper was suspended from the platform following a series of anti-Semitic rants on social media.

    "As Musk ushered them out last night, he asked Tesla engineers to visit HQ today to start rewriting the website's code.

    Among his plans is to open source algorithms to increase transparency for users about how their data is used to suggest content to them, and to add an 'edit' button for all.

    He also plans to allow President Trump back on the site.

    Trump welcomed his takeover on Friday, writing on his own social media site Truth Social: 'TRUTH SOCIAL has become somewhat of a phenomena.

    'Last week it had bigger numbers than all other platforms, including TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, and the rest.

    'It also looks and works better to my eye. I am very happy that Twitter is now in sane hands, and will no longer be run by Radical Left Lunatics and Maniacs that truly hate our country.


    Quote
    'Twitter must now work hard to rid itself of all of the bots

    and fake accounts that have hurt it so badly.

    'It will be much smaller, but better.

    I LOVE TRUTH!'

    Conservative figures who were banned from the platform now hope that his stated commitment to free speech will allow them to return.

    The big names booted from Twitter include Donald Trump, Roger Stone, Alex Jones, Steve Bannon and US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

    Sarah Personette worked as Twitter's chief customer officer. She tweeted:

    'Had a great discussion with Elon Musk last evening! Our continued commitment
    to brand safety for advertisers remains unchanged. Looking forward to the future!'


    the next day she was fired!




    the article states as matter of fact, that Musk plans to reinstate Trump

    i have not seen that verified ... and Trump seems unfazed either way

    BOTH investors, advertisers .... and WE the People have our eye on him

    in actuality, the FINAL say will come from us

    as i posted here

    "WE speak the universal language that makes them pay attention"


    advertisers threatening to pull from Twitter if he unbans OUR peeps?

    should tread carefully

    they NEED our money

    but there are 50 other companies we can turn to for their products

    just sayin ..

    well she's not too bright ...

    types like Musk .. and Trump

    who are WELL able to speak for themselves

    (unlike the senile one who can't even speak the words he is given to read from teleprompt)

    do NOT take kindly for someone to take it upon themselves to speak for him

    in retrospect? not such a good idea ....




    on the bright side, this is her opportunity to "diversify" career options ...

    Lol. Good one. But I estimate that even McDonalds knows a bad idea from a stupid one. 🧐

    Am feeling better about Twitter now. Might sign up and tweet some treats and tweak some teats (male - male only practice, irl — a gesture of extreme disagreement/prejudice among friends or allies. Called here the western nipple twist. Hurts!). ~8) 🤪
