Let's hope Musk's commitment to free speech and open conversation are a little sturdier than a soap bubble. Yaccarino's choice is a step down the path of pragmatism, as it is easy to see her willingly bowing down to censorship in the name of corporate interests. A soulless puppet of the powerful. The stench of betrayal is strong with this one...

When you realise every single visitor to Epstein Island is now a CIA asset everything makes sense. The CIA were all over Epstein and everything was recorded. They run the government, the pharma industry, the federal reserve and the media. RIP America.

I've been locked out for about a year for daring to respond to someone who said abortion isn't murder by posting a pic of an aborted child. I've tried to appeal over and over. No response.

I don't know why anybody ever trusted Elon to be some free speech hero. Why would he be? He's a zillionaire. He can do what he wants.

It bears repeating that the U.S. is the only nation on the face the planet which has a codified, enshrined right to freedom of speech. Even England and Canada, probably the two most similarly structured, countries offer no such protections. Meanwhile the Muslim world pretty much defines the polar opposite of free speech protections. Say the wrong thing and they'll cut your tongue out. So is it really fair to lay this all at Musk's feet?

Just as a little Twitter in Turkey is better than no Twitter in Turkey, Twitter is still much better off today than it was a year ago under the thumb of a cabal of rabidly enthusiastic totalitarians in bed with their government counterparts.

"Elon Musk confirmed that Tesla is currently working on version 3 of its vaccine printer for CureVac and he believes that it is going to be an “important product for the world.”

Earlier this year, Musk announced that Tesla has become the manufacturing partner for biotech firm CureVac who is working on a COVID-19 vaccine based on their RNA technology.' :

I don't understand why people keep acting like Musk made Twitter a place of freedom. He told us in the beginning that we'd have freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach. Some of us have been so throttled since he came onboard that it's become unusable.

Plus, remember the elonjet drama he started and the people he threw off then (not to mention the fact that he lied about what happened)? Remember the #faucifiles carrot he dangled in front of people to get them more and more committed to his new Twitter? Remember his response to Matt Taibbi daring to post his Twitter Notes findings on Substack and what he subsequently did to all Substack links (even if for only 24 hours)?

This man has never cared about giving us a free platform to speak. It is a weapon he's wielding to win over the conservative base so that when he finishes the transformation of Twitter into the X surveillance and digital ID app, they'll all be onboard. Yaccarino isn't some talented advertising exec he wisely put into place. She's another WEF acolyte who is here to transform Twitter.

I prefer to call it DIE rather than DEI. That way it sounds as ominous as it is.

was enough for this hombre to say adios.

he hired an advocate of WEF

who is excited about TRANSFORMING Twitter

ie another airhead like the VP of Bud Light but more dangerous given she

espouses to WEF motto: "You will own nothing but be happy"

The last time I heard TRANSFORM it was Obama and he kept his promise,

and still is, regarding America

Time will tell... perhaps I’m behind the curve but I have yet to see evidence beyond some superficial performative COVID cult posts on hand washing and vaccines that she’s really all that ideologically connected with WEF. Best case scenario seems so be that she can walk the tightrope necessary to make Twitter a viable business without neutering speech. Time will tell...

Guessed it from the beginning. Nobody is allowed the public reach without toeing the line. He was and is no different, always was another fraud who’s more appealing to right learners. I could never understand peoples absolute need for these social media platforms. I found no difficulty closing accounts years ago and have since reclaimed years of life that I would otherwise never get back. Smart phones and devices are a prison of the mind of the 21st century and nothing more. I’ve yet to see most things made simpler thanks to their existence. But I’m just one person with one opinion that has no interest in forcing it on anyone else

My, this seems to be cynicism central here. "We're doomed!" Prior to Musk's purchase Twitter was financially circling the drain and survived by the huge pile of early investor capital. It was quickly being spent down. Sure ad sales were better then but Twitter was losing heavily. So Musk overpaid and is revamping. I'm not thrilled by the former NBC ad babe with dicey WEF connections. But she can't rehire the legions of censors Twitter employed unless Musk agrees. She is being hired to make Twitter financially sustainable. If not, it will go away. Elon seems to know what he's doing. If any of the hopeless Cynic Army here has a spare $44 billion, they can buy it from Elon and show us how to do it right. He wasn't going to hire Alex Jones to peddle ads on Twitter was he?
