Musk throws journalist off Twitter.

Elon Musk warned he faces EU sanctions after booting journalists off Twitter

The sudden, sweeping purge comes after controversy over Twitter suspending an account which tracked Elon Musk's private plane. The billionaire had previously indicated that he was so committed to free speech on Twitter, that even the jet bot would not be banned.

So much for his commitment to free speech.

How did you feel about the FBI assigning 80 agents to censor speech on Twitter that cast the Democratic Party in a less-than-glorious light?

I laugh too when I think how Elon and Donald could go about their lives without the spotlight and scrutiny if they’d only step around it.

It's not lost on me that many leftists love people who got rich working in government while despising people who got rich in private industry.

Musk's most sucessful companies make most of their money on government contracts and EV credits.

Sounds like a topic for another thread.

Leftists at Twitter banned numerous, respected, medical doctors who expressed alternative views on keeping children out of schools to combat Covid.

You show me a place that is ruled by leftists and I'll show you a place where freedom of speech is nonexistent.

The Washington establishment class has invested BIG money into EV industry and then pass laws to make sure that their investments will succeed. Remember when Nancy Pelosi invested in Tesla and shortly thereafter the U.S. government announced that they would transform all federal fleets to EV?

As opposed to Elon’s Twitter where he is curtailing speech he doesn’t like.

Thing is that whoever runs Twitter, then or now, has this power.

I don't necessarily agree with all of Elon's Twitter policies but at least he's not working with 80 FBI agents to silence the speech of those that criticize the Washington establishment. Perhaps you prefer Twitter the way it was before Elon. Do you?

Twitter right now is a train wreck but oh so entertaining.

I disagree. Countless people were BANNED for doing nothing more than telling the truth and now they are unbanned and can express views. I take it you're not big on free speech.

Ah. Never mind. I see that you're an atheist. Now it's all clear to me. Thanks.

Ah. Never mind. I see that you're an atheist. Now it's all clear to me. Thanks.

And you’re a Christian but dismissing your views based on that fact would get me banned.

Oh, is Twitter a religious site? I mean what does my non religious outlook have to do with it?

Twitter can ban whomever for whatever reason as far as I’m concerned. I have only ventured there for mild entertainment. Private companies are not beholden to the first amendment as that pertains to government.

It wasn't, but it is now converting to the Cult of Elon.

Yea, Twitter was better when antifa terrorists were permitted to use it to engage in terrorism against your political opponents.


Breaking:
@COSAntiFascists
, the Colorado Springs cell of #Antifa, has been suspended on Twitter. The account has operated for years instructing comrades to assault people & directing members to get the home addresses, phone numbers of targets. It had 15k followers.

 

[Not of the World]

Anyone opposed to antifa using Twitter to engage in terror attacks against the Democratic Party's political opponents is in the cult of Elon!

Sorry, I am forgetting myself.

The Bible teaches us that nonbelievers have been blinded to the truth of God and to many other truths.

I pray that God will reveal himself to you.

Twitter receives special government protection that most other private entities do not have. The DOJ has been directing some of Twitter's activities. Undoubtedly, the American government is in the process of directing the activities of many other supposedly "private" organizations and ALL of it is about serving the Washington establishment. It's sort of like fascism.

I think you may have confused this site with "Parler".
