News that I missed, courtesy of The Babylon Bee:
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Liberals at Twitter were outraged this morning upon finding out almost 10% of their company is now owned by an African-American. Several have threatened walk-outs to protest the news.
“Elon’s foreigner ways aren’t welcome here,” said Twitter Programming Director Xerxie Vamoosixx, (xe/xir.) “I watched a TikTok video about a Salon article about a tweet from a journalist that said Elon is ‘based,’ which is another word for transphobic. I have literally not stopped shaking and throwing up on my desk since I found out.”
Several unnamed sources from within the company expressed worry that the African immigrant will influence the company to value freedom of speech—even allowing people to send tweets people like Vamoosixx don’t agree with. “Tweets I don’t agree with make me feel unsafe which means they’re literally violence and I’m gonna burn down this building,” xe said.
Vamoosixx plans to stage a protest and demand the foreigner take his foreign ways back to where he came from.
Go here to read the rest. The richest man in the world, Musk has taken pride in not being part of the ideological lock step that governs the Tech Lords. A born rebel, I suspect he believes that Twitter could be immensely profitable if freed from the shackles of the Tech Lords. We shall see.
Update: It looks like Twitter banning The Babylon Bee might be a factor in this:
Musk is now on the board of Twitter:
A lesson in three dimensional chess.
Hmm.. how might I (Musk) promote free speech while demoting censorship, market without a marketing department, and make money in the process.
Knight to King’s level three-
Checkmate.
He’s smart and being rich helps. He won’t make as much money from Twitter ownership as his other ventures. He’s out to make a point. Good for him.
