Make Twitter Great Again...
From The Patriot Post - APRIL 5, 2022:
Elon Musk’s Free Speech Stake in Twitter:
The world’s richest man just became the biggest single shareholder in the social media giant.
The systemic redlining of free speech may be the biggest threat to Liberty in America today. Big Tech companies are the most prolific violators of this basic civil right. Having become the “public square,” they then decide via bogus “fact-checkers” and other nebulous “community standards” what can and can’t be said in the public square. Somehow, the playing field always seems tilted heavily against conservatives.
Well, Twitter has a new factor to consider: Elon Musk. The eccentric Tesla and SpaceX owner, Time Magazine’s 2021 “Person of the Year,” and the world’s richest man ($273 billion net worth) just disclosed that he is now Twitter’s single largest stockholder. Not long after saying he was “giving serious thought” to starting his own social media platform, Musk purchased 73.5 million Twitter shares valued at $2.9 billion, or a 9.2% stake. He is also taking a spot on the company’s board in exchange for a cap of 14.9% ownership. Twitter stock soared 27% Monday, earning Musk another $784 million in value, though he doesn’t need the money and that’s not why he bought in.
His Monday tweet: “Oh hi lol.”
Musk is not seeking to take control of Twitter, but he’s never passive about anything. He’s also an advocate of free speech, and he’s tweeted about it more than once to his 80 million followers.
“Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy,” he said in March, just 11 days before his stock purchase. “Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?” More than 70% of respondents answered correctly: No, Twitter does not adhere to this principle.
Make Twitter Great Again, Elon!
