Tesla’s “TecnoKing,” Elon Musk, reported Monday that he is the biggest shareholder in Twitter. He has a 9.2 percent, about four times Jack Dorsey’s share. Mr. Musk has hinted that Twitter needs to loosen up its censorship. He is also a Twitter board member, and promised “significant improvements.”
The consequences of this poll will be important. Please vote carefully.

If white advocates can express their views online without censorship, we win. You may disagree. However, the mere possibility that Mr. Musk may allow more free speech made progressives very angry, including some Twitter employees.
My name is Jackson Mulholland & I'm one of many ppl here working at @Twitter in charge of developing terms & conditions for users. We're not stripping away "free speech", we're protecting users from bullies, bigots, & spam. I refuse to work with or for @elonmusk. I'm resigning🏳️🌈

@elonmusk is now the majority shareholder for @Twitter He believes that in the name of "free speech" that insane right wingers should have a platform for their misinformation. I am announcing that I will be deleting my Twitter account in the near future. He's disgusting.

Why is @elonmusk trying to bring back hate and misinformation on Twitter?
What does he have to gain by pushing for a resurgence of this?

Elon Musk purchased the largest stake in Twitter, which means this image will probably become banned. What will be allowed on Twitter again is Covid misinformation, dead naming trans people, homophobia, antisemitism, racism & bigotry. pic.twitter.com/gstDw32vTw

Elon Musk had mused in the past about buying or starting a social network to promote free speech. Former Twitter chief Jack Dorsey, who resisted calls for censorship longer than many other Big Tech leaders, recently said he regrets the role Twitter played in “centralizing” the internet. Mr. Dorsey said he is “working on” a more decentralized internet. That is good for us.
That said, many Americans don’t value free speech. President Joe Biden reportedly “assessed” Fox News as “one of the most destructive forces in the world,” and Rupert Murdoch was “the most dangerous man in the world.” The article that reported these comments said many of the president’s supporters blame Mr. Murdoch for “enabling” Tucker Carlson. Progressives are again trying to “cancel” Mr. Carlson, this time because of his views on Ukraine and American nonintervention.
No respectable news outlet or TV Station would keep Tucker Carlson on staff after his disgusting show of support for Putin.
He's still working at Fox.
Fox News is still shitty.— BrooklynDad_Defiant! (@mmpadellan) April 3, 2022
Tucker Carlson needs to be banned from the airwaves.
He’s an agent of Russia, whether formally or informally.
Either way, he’s literally spreading propaganda for a war criminal who also happens to be America’s greatest enemy. https://t.co/7vA9U548SM

Tucker Carlson is a Russian agent of chaos and enemy of the United States of America. Who else thinks we should send that fucker to Russia?
— Mayo 🇺🇦🌻 (@MayoIsSpicyy) April 4, 2022
The United States isn’t at war with Russia. Nonetheless, the hunt for “Russian agents” will probably keep leftists busy for a while. Many progressives really believe that certain people can’t be allowed to talk.
Allowing Trump to keep having rallies is like allowing Osama Bin Laden to hold recruiting events for the next 9/11.

This makes progressives’ protests about the Hungarian election and Viktor Orban’s victory seem even more hypocritical and hysterical. Take Yale Professor Jason Stanley:
Hungary shows that if you control the education system, the media, and the courts you can rule forever, enriching your family and friends. American conservatives watching with excitement. https://t.co/cYHd5VS69G

Academic Yascha Mounk, who writes on the “crisis of liberal democracy.”
Populists can use their control over the press and the voting system to stay in power through unfair elections. If they ever grow so unpopular that they lose anyway, they can ignore the results.
I increasingly doubt that Orban will ever leave office because he loses an election.
— Yascha Mounk (@Yascha_Mounk) April 3, 2022
Western governments routinely repress dissidents. They have clearly forgotten all about this. They are in no position to lecture others about “authoritarianism.” Still, the Washington Post wants the EU to punish Hungary, calling it a fifth column in Europe. If people vote the wrong way, it seems that a country is no longer a democracy.
If Hungary really votes overwhelmingly against democracy and for corruption I cannot see why it should be accepted in the EU. Kick it out! https://t.co/Z66yrH6PFb
— Anders Åslund (@anders_aslund) April 3, 2022
.@ZSzelenyi witnessed firsthand how Orbán took revenge for his previous defeats and developed the perfect playbook of votes, ideology, and money to change Hungary’s democracy into an illiberal system, to ensure that he would win elections repeatedly. https://t.co/1BYAOXVsvL

In case you have any doubt this “democracy” nonsense is fake.
One of the reasons the EU is mad at Orban is because he allowed mail-in voting without an ID. pic.twitter.com/7MutEHsA4v

Everything progressives don’t like is “fascism.” The progressives display the true “paranoid style” in American politics.
Threatening companies to try to bully them into silence as they also bully teachers, to try to make them too scared to teach any history that doesn’t slavishly comport to white “Christian” nationalism and heteronormativity. It’s straight up, unbridled fascism. Read more here: https://t.co/ImH3a44O68

No surprise to see Farage warmly congratulating Viktor Orbán, a fellow admirer of Putin.

My old colleague Oliver Darcy, now at CNN, thinks what Fox chooses to promote is weird.
It’s remarkable how Fox amplifies tweets from random accounts like this. Happens on a regular basis. https://t.co/pStnlFfSvV
— Oliver Darcy (@oliverdarcy) April 4, 2022
What’s far stranger is why interactions between blacks and whites become national news. Why was George Floyd anything more than a local story? Why was Amy Cooper, who called the police on a black man, turned into a villain by the press? Why do most national media outlets ignore even the most horrific black-on-white crimes? Still, Mr. Darcy is correct in implying that what stories a news channel promotes tells us a lot about what it wants discussed. I’d only note that CNN, MSNBC, and others should look in the mirror before going after Fox.
One pro-white account posted a claim that whites may not be around in 500 years. Some non-whites celebrated. No such response would be tolerated if the target were any other group.

Finally, just some minor anti-white statements to motivate you.
Black people were charged with treason for revolting against slavery, yet thousands of white people attempt an insurrection and no one is charged with the crime. Where's justice? #RaiseAFist #FreshWords

I cannot overemphasize how much “reinforcing stereotypes” is not an actual problem. if it was, that would suggest racism is caused by POC acting a certain way, as opposed to white people BEING RACIST

Miss anything? Let us know. Stay safe.
Not a big fan, but I’m liking Elon Musk today.
Remember when even diametrically opposing views were encouraged to debate their respective positions with reason and civility?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I hear Twitter is based in California. They are gonna hand out reparations to blacks or something.
When California was mostly white, no reparations. Now that it’s majority non-white, reparations? So, who will foot the bill? Browns and Asians?
I hear African immigrants get no dough.
If the beneficiaries are to be defined by ancestry, shouldn’t it be so with those who must pay?
So, if only blacks with slave ancestry get the money, then only whites with slave-owner ancestry should be made to pay. Why should all Americans pay to all black Americans when their ancestors had nothing to do with slavery? Tax the white Dixies and other such folks(and Jews who also owned slaves) and pay blacks with their money.
After all, Germans are made to pay for the Holocaust, not all of Europe.
Must be nice to be immune to hypocracy, self contradiction & fairness.
What is Twitter?
Everything the segregationists of the past has come true!
Please stop publishing long lists of random Twitter noise that means nothing – if every article was like this no one would be reading Unz.com – you should know better.
Happy to see an African American doing good!
All that money will go the Jews because the blacks will spend it all on low IQ trash trash supplied by Jewish companies. It is basically one more money transfer from whites to jews via blacks. Like how pimps (jews) use hoes (blacks) to suck money out of tricks/johns (White goy), the pimps keep most of the money fo themselves. This is old tradition. Jewish Media moguls (pimps) have been regularly using their hos (hip hop stars) to suck out money from stupid suburban Whites (johns).
That McDonalds scene reminds me of one of an old school commercial ‘You Deserve a Break Today, at McDonalds’.
It’s a perfect jingle for todays fast food king. The people looking out the window be like, Schitt, look at them niggaz, dey can’t even eat a Happy Meal without killing each other.
It really is a Clown World when 13% of the population makes us look like Zimbabwe Beverly Hills 90666.
What I wanna no iz, why es niggaz eat’n Happy Meals?
Ain’t dey supposed ta be KFC connasewers?
But den i hear dat McDonalds has a crispy chicken sandwich dat niggaz lov.
Twitter is a good window on leftism–what it wants and where it is going.
Think of it as an early warning system.
Ignore it at your peril.
Twitter is a Satanic social networking platform.
For all those who are, unlike me, keen on using this kind of bull crap in their spare time there is a new, uncencored, anonymous social network that is called Bastyon.
Registration doesn’t require submitting a phone number. Only an email, and you can register an anonymous email at Protonmail. It doesn’t require a phone number either.
The interface is a hybrid of Twitter and YouTube. There is no cencorship whatsoever. It is de-centralized and is based on the blockchain technology.
Post your videos and whatever else you want.

Elon Musk’s cave-rescue submarine; works in a pool, what could go wrong? Elon tends to think too far outside the box, for the sheer exhilaration of being way out there. It takes 8 times as long to change the radio station on a Tesla compared to pushing a button. I hope Elon has a few close advisers who can constrain his tendency to do this. But what do I know, if I had been Babe Ruth’s agent, I would’ve told him to stick to pitching.
You don’t have any competition here in the comedy dept.
It’s all so fucking horrible you have to laugh.

The negroes favor the Popeyes chicken sandwich and they will kill for one.
There used to be a bunch of hilarious clips of negroes all over the USA fighting at Popeyes,
but the jew overlords removed all of the clips.
I did manage to find this series of clips on Tiktok.
The Left doesn’t merely claim “Blacks deserve reparations” solely for 400 years of slavery in America; according to them, all kinds of OPPRESSION continued after it was officially abolished and, in fact, it – somehow! – continues to this very day!
Scott Ritter got banned today from Twitter
Elon Musk’s cult of personality — which he is very aware of, and which he enjoys — depends on him trying to revolutionize Twitter policy and succeeding. If he fails, it might even be the case that his fanboys will demand that he dumps the company and goes all in on an alternative.
He wants to be a hero – and his fans want him to be one, too, so I am confident he will take some kind of action.
The irony is that some of these alt tech sites like Gab have really had a good showing and become self-sustaining. A really successful series of policy changes at twitter could really hurt the parallel economy that Torba wants to build.
Just like how Communists said that their chances for revolution in America were negatively impacted by semi-socialistic welfare policies in the New Deal, it may be the case that these glimmers of hope for liberty will be something that puts a nail in the coffin of a more actively free society. Gab and alt tech could truly free everyone from tech tyranny, but the compromises that Musk brings to the table might actually result in everyone being convinced Twitter is free because Trump-tier nationalists can more freely spout Qanon type material unless it’s overtly racist.
Well right off the bat he banned Scott Ritter. Or Twatter did, presumably he would have had no small say… Still love Musk?
No.
I don’t think you got it exactly right.
It is doubtless true that people and some ancient races and cultures did indeed provide good advice to their heirs, but today? Not so much. Except in the case of Family, which is generally good that way. In the interests of that family only.
We have evolved. In the case of ‘history’ we have evolved to the point where ‘history’ has no logical relation to reality. Unless you have an uncle named George who was a bully, a drunk, and a drug addict. The whole concept of ‘History’ was good in theory but it has never worked for you or me.
If you insist you can send me 10 dollars to [email protected] but you ain’t gonna get a receipt. That’s history.
Gregory Hood asks: “Will Elon Musk Give Us Free Speech?”
A better question would be, do the American people really want free speech? Have they ever? The ink was barely dry on the Constitution and Bill of Rights when the Founders passed the Alien and Sedition Acts in 1798.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alien_and_sedition_acts
Gregory Hood: “… many Americans don’t value free speech.”
No kidding they don’t, and it’s probably much more accurate to say “a majority of Americans” instead of “many”. Even those who support it only support it with strict limitations. Very few are free speech absolutists. Elon Musk is unlikely to be able to change that even if he wants to, and he probably doesn’t.
Don’t use Twitter=who cares
Bitch shouldn’t you be in the kitchen?
