So lefty what do you feel you have lost with Musk's acquisition of Twitter?

[BULLDOG]

The moonbats aren't freaking out about the free speech thing....They're terrified of what Musk will find behind the curtain.

Again, you seem to think he is on some sort of right wing crusade to put lefties in their place. I doubt that is his purpose.

Not at all.....You don't have this amount of widespread meltdowns and pearl clutching, because a guy wants to restore the accounts of guys like Charlie Kirk and Tucker.

 

[schmidlap]

So again. What has been lost? Anyone?

The awesome potential for "Truth Social" (or whatever the self-deluded geezer is calling it) to become the cult's mouthpiece of lunacy for the nation.

I seriously doubt that....he's not actually a conservative per se
What I believe is that he's got something big in mind and that it involves a massive amount of profit.

You have to have an apple device to get into it so I guess I'm out. Can't stand apple anything.

OH Bullshit.... so I didn't put it in classic debate form...
It is still a debate.

LOL. You read that wrong space case. Every second this flaming thread remains here confirms Meister is the sniveling coward he is.

Flaming? The only thing flaming here is your imagination.
I have had lots of my threads moved. I eventually learned how to avoid that by simply searching for the appropriate forum
It's really all they want from you.

Yeah...they won't go anywhere. They will stomp out under one moniker in a self righteous huff and come back in with a different one. These people are hooked. I personally treid Twitter again after years and immediately had the same reaction to it. Just don't like it....I don't care who owns it.

JO

I feel pretty good. Musk can't stand Trump and doesn't care about Biden either.

Other than fringe right wingers dancing in the street, there is no indication that this is more than just a business deal. I will be greatly surprised if Twitter becomes the right wing haven you seem to hope for. I suppose we will all find out in time.

Anyone to the right of Castro is a "fringe right winger" to your ilk.....I've expreessed no "hope" for anything here, only offered my opinions as to what may occur once Musk gets ahold of the whole apparatus....Everything else you're sputtering about has no relevance to anything.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Other than fringe right wingers dancing in the street,

Really? What streets? cuz they may get crushed by main stream/street liberals throwing themselves from roof tops

there is no indication that this is more than just a business deal.

Again really? while it really is nothing more than "just a business deal" the hyperbole from the white liberal privileged class indicates they are treating it as much more:

Right now fox news is yucking it up over this and mocking the left wing media but that is because their "heads are exploding" [fox is showing clip after clip of those heads exploding] with the MSM claiming human rights groups like "amnesty international" and the "ACLU" are "raising concerns"....but yeah nothing to see here. It's just like they do with everything else.

Elon Musk is a libertarian free-marketeer with no respect for the statist, isolationist, authoritarian Trump, but if turning Twitter into a freak show is profitable, the stampede from the woefully incompetent "Truth Social" is inevitable. The Losers' Grievance Jamboree Impresario can't even remember its name.

Musk's suggestion that it should be called "Trumpet" is perfect for a blow-your-own-tin-horn cult enabler.

TRUMP® THE ANTI-SOCIAL MEDIA​

Musk has presented Trump with an opportunity to lie yet again, a temptation he seems unable to resist.

"I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on TRUTH...
I am going to be staying on TRUTH!"

Elon's a hoot! Isn't he?

 

[HandleTheTruth]

I am truly astonished at the extent of the plaintiff outcry. It's a stupid little posting board that is not much different than this one with the exception of the fact that it happens to have a base of millions instead of hundreds. I tried it years ago and couldn't stand it frankly. I usually have a bit more to say than tiny Twitter squares allow....yeah that means I'm probably full of hot air I'll admit to it! So I went back the other day and tried it again. Sorry...still no magic for me. I just don't care for the way it's set up. I don't see any real interchange just a bunch of people shouting into the internet without the benefit of a real time exchange such as we have here at times. The Platform was Perfect for Trump since he is already Bellicose. It simply provided him with a sound horn that he did not have before. I think his refusal to rejoin is foolish on his part but he now has a site of his own that is not doing so well so maybe he feels it would detract from his efforts if he rejoined Twitter?

Back to the question in the title. What is it exactly that is being lost? I see only gain frankly for everybody. Musk is not a true ideologue he is a true Businessman. Sooooo.....his plans for Twitter are far more than just becoming the Rescue Icon for free speech IMO. He's got something up his sleeve with this move. He has to, he's betting 20% of his net worth on it! He'll combine it with Bitcoin buying features or Space-ex slots for sale or something that will add a money enterprise to what it already has.

So again. What has been lost? Anyone?

JO

Frankly I don't see a problem with it. I think musk can do the job. And I think like most people they have no clue how to moderate free speech. Everybody gets so triggered these days just think of hundreds of people flagging post all day long because they can't handle some words on a freaking computer screen.

Musk has a tough road ahead of him and I think he will get bashed for awhile from both sides.

But that's how you know you are doing it right.

That's what I am screaming. I mean really he seems to be a down to earth man. I'm not all about a culture war. I want everybody to be able to speak their mind and discuss things without the cancel culture crap.
