“Might all of the individuals at present whining about ‘the demise of Twitter’ since Elon Musk purchased it…simply go away Twitter?” I tweeted over the weekend.
To which Elon himself promptly replied: “Critically.”
It was an trade that I’m certain prompted a number of whiny, woke brats to instantly throw their completely offended toys out of their sanctimonious strollers and announce they had been quitting the platform.
As a result of that’s what they’ve all been doing ever because the world’s richest man spent $44 billion on the social media website final month and vowed to make it a fairer enjoying discipline that doesn’t simply deal with anybody who even vaguely resembles a conservative like an enemy to be expunged from public view.
It jogs my memory of the deafening collective liberal squeal of outraged horror when Donald Trump obtained elected president in 2016, and myriad celebrities from Cher to Chelsea Handler stated they might be leaving America instantly.
After all, none of them did, and I confidently predict it is going to be simply the identical with all the celebs now racing to say they’re quitting Twitter as a result of the proprietor is somebody who will not tolerate their cancel-culture bulls–t.
The hysteria has been hilarious to look at, not least as a result of Musk is on the document as being a large Bernie Sanders fan, has donated to each the Democratic and Republican events, and has described himself variously as “reasonable,” a “socialist” and “socially liberal and fiscally conservative.”
It’s true that he urged individuals to vote Republican within the current midterms, however his reasoning wasn’t based mostly on his personal political allegiance: “To independent-minded voters: Shared energy curbs the worst excesses of each events, due to this fact I like to recommend voting for a Republican Congress, provided that the Presidency is Democratic.”
I agreed along with his logic.
The response has additionally been hilarious as a result of Musk’s been reinstating accounts that belong to individuals from all political persuasions, from Donald Trump and Kanye “Ye” West to Dr. Jordan Peterson and Kathy Griffin.
But it’s solely Trump’s return that’s getting many of the warmth, and he’s not even agreed to come back again anyway.
Griffin, a vile piece of labor who as soon as posted a photograph of herself clutching a bloodied reproduction of Trump’s decapitated head, and who shamefully used her useless mom’s Twitter account to get around her current ban for impersonating Musk (Twitter has at all times banned individuals who impersonate others), will get a cross as a result of she’s a shrieking woke liberal.
Of their world, you may be as horrible and abusive as you want, as a result of it comes from the “proper” aspect of the talk.
The self-righteousness is nauseating.
As is the blatant hypocrisy.
Whoopi Goldberg introduced she was quitting Twitter reside on “The View,” saying, “I’m uninterested in having sure sorts of attitudes blocked and now they’re again on.”
I ponder if she means the kind of one who doesn’t suppose the Holocaust was an instance of racism?
Oh wait, that was Whoopi, who obtained suspended for her very offensive idiocy.
She’ll be again, mark my phrases.
As will Stephen Fry, who’s stop Twitter 5 instances solely to return, and has now dramatically flounced off once more with a Scrabble letter picture spelling out “GOODBYE.”
I worry it’s extra “ADIEU,” isn’t it, Stephen?
Then there are those that vowed to stop — however haven’t.
Jameela Jamil, an unbearable, virtue-signaling actress, introduced again in April: “One advantage of Elon shopping for twitter is that I'll *FINALLY* go away and cease being an entire menace to society on right here. So it’s win win for you all actually.”
Sure, it will have been.
However sadly, she didn’t stop, and carried on tweeting her disagreeable abuse to one and all, and her account stays energetic right this moment.
Musk isn’t rescinding each ban.
“Convey again Alex Jones!” urged one Twitter person concerning the repellent conspiracy wack job whose deliberate, hateful lies made Sandy Hook victims’ mother and father targets for lunatics who believed Jones’ invented claims that the bloodbath was faked.
“No,” was Musk’s blunt response, drawing his personal private line for what is suitable below the guise of “free speech.”
He was proper about that, simply as he’s proper to let Trump again on.
It was ridiculous that a former US president was de-platformed from a social media website that allowed Vladimir Putin, the supreme chief of Iran, and Taliban chiefs to remain on it.
What world leaders say, nevertheless offensive they or their phrases could also be, is a matter of historic document.
Others who’ve embarrassed themselves because the Musk takeover embrace information organizations like CBS, which suspended all its Twitter utilization because of “uncertainty” and “safety issues” however got here crawling again inside 48 hours with none of these issues having been resolved, prompting Musk to submit a laughing emoji.
He’s taken a equally phlegmatic view of cowardly advertisers threatening to remove their enterprise, once more citing the “uncertainty,” however clearly bowing to woke hysteria — and urged them to be extra “adventurous.”
And don’t even get me began on Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, who preposterously claims she’s been attempting to promote her Tesla for months as a result of she needs a “unionized” inexperienced automobile, not one from an organization owned by a “billionaire with an ego downside.”
Final time I checked, it’s very simple to promote a Tesla — they’re in massive demand, like the whole lot Musk creates, and as jobs can be at Twitter.
The present predominantly woke workforce have all been howling away as a result of imply Elon needs them to truly go into work, and is firing all those that don’t fancy a little bit of “extraordinarily hardcore” slog to construct an ideal firm, or who he thinks have been accountable for the outrageously partisan tradition that led to Twitter censoring the New York Publish’s big and correct scoop about Hunter Biden’s laptop computer as a result of workers feared it may cost a little Joe Biden the 2020 election.
The most effective evaluation I’ve heard about Musk’s first few tumultuous weeks got here from one in all his most loyal traders, Ross Gerber, president and CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Funding Administration: “I feel none of this has gone to plan. Zero p.c of it. That’s how Elon works. That’s simply the best way he's. I’m by no means betting towards this man.”
Nor am I.
Musk was dismissed as delusional and doomed to failure when he declared Tesla would take over the auto trade.
He was proper.
Skeptics stated the identical when he began SpaceX, a personal firm that launches satellites.
He was proper once more.
“He’s gone by way of this earlier than and landed like a cat,” Erik Gordon, professor of technique and entrepreneurship on the College of Michigan’s Ross College of Enterprise, advised NPR.
Sure, he has.
And he'll once more with Twitter, with the additional benefit that this time he’s additionally exposing the woke brigade for the shallow, biased, hypocritical little twerps that I’ve at all times identified them to be.
It’s sufficient to make me purr.
