I literally hate the word "equity" now. All it means to them, is how do you screw out a class of people, that might have it too good, and make others equal. But what they are really doing is more control and no one will have a good life, because we are all slaves now

Bloomberg freaking out, but how do they know he doesn't have it and needs to get a massive loan?
Also, I'm still convinced he has a couple of like minded billionaires going in with him, and they don't want their names out there.
Kek, and the outrage is off the charts, no one should have that much money!

Robert Reich Smears Elon Musk's Vision for Twitter as 'Dangerous Nonsense'
The libertarian vision of an 'uncontrolled' internet is not the dream of dictators. (So libertarians are dangerous now, their whole idea is live and let live)
Libertarian: One who advocates maximizing individual rights and minimizing the role of the state, One who believes in free will, One who maintains the doctrine of the freedom of the will (especially in an extreme form): opposed to necessitarian.
Reich begins by condemning Russian President Vladimir Putin's authoritarianism: how he hides the truth from the people of Russia by outlawing dissent, jailing protesters, and prioritizing government propaganda over independent media. Reich then turns his attention to formerPresident Donald Trump, writing that the decisions by social media companies to ban the president "were necessary to protect American democracy."
But wait a minute:
Why does silencing a political viewpoint protect democracy?How is that any different than Putin saying his silencing of dissenters is necessary to protect Russia?…
Musk has expressed misgivings about Twitter's treatment of dissenting views, and is worried that the social media site: The First Amendment cannot be cited as a defense by anyone who is shadow-banned or de-platformed on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or anywhere else. What we possess, under the First Amendment, is a right to criticize bad and hypocritical behavior free from government censorship.
That's what Musk thinks, it's what I think, and it's what many independent voices on both the left and the right think.
But not Robert Reich. He writes:
Will Musk use his clout to let Trump back on? I fear he will.
Musk has long advocated a libertarian vision of an "uncontrolled" internet. That vision is dangerous rubbish. There's no such animal, and there never will be. …
In Musk's vision of Twitter and the internet, he'd be the wizard behind the curtain – projecting on the world's screen a fake image of a brave new world empowering everyone.
In reality, that world would be dominated by the richest and most powerful people in the world, who wouldn't be accountable to anyone for facts, truth, science or the common good. (this guy is fucking stupid, that is how it is now)
That's Musk's dream. And Trump's. And Putin's. And the dream of every dictator, strongman, demagogue and modern-day robber baron on Earth. For the rest of us, it would be a brave new nightmare.
Reich, unfortunately, is deeply confused. The libertarian vision of an "uncontrolled" internet is not the dream of dictators (really stupid fucker). Dictators like Putin want a controlled internet. Reich is also advocating for a controlled internet—and apparently likes the people who control it right now: i.e., the sort of progressive-minded moderators who don't want people to read about the Black Lives Matter foundation spending millions in donations to buy up real estate rather than promote change, a story that Facebook decided to suppress….
Reich is not alone in preferring things the way they are. Ellen K. Pao, the former CEO of reddit, wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post that "Elon Musk's vision of 'free speech' will be bad for Twitter.”It will be bad for Twitter, she writes, because Musk wants to let more people speak on Twitter without fear of censorship.
Progressives like Reich and Pao shouldn't frame their dismissal of free speech as a sort of rejection of tyranny. It's the opposite: It's an embrace of tyranny—of a kind of tyranny that is popular in both Russia and China, the U.S.'s main political, social, and economic rivals. Russia and China don't want their citizens saying whatever they want on social media. Elon Musk does. That's the difference between an uncontrolled libertarian ethos for the internet, and the ethos of the censors.

A left-wing superlawyer's assault on democracy
by Jerry Dunleavy, Justice Department Reporter |
| January 06, 2022 11:00 PM
Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias wants you to believe that he wants to save democracy — by, conveniently, electing Democrats. But his partisanship isn’t the biggest red flag.
Elias’s attempt to hold himself up as democracy’s great defender is most complicated by his role in funding and spreading British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s discredited anti-Trump dossier while he served as the Hillary Clinton campaign’s general counsel. Those actions, as well as his behavior since then, have undermined the very democratic process of which he claims to be a champion.
The dossier was full of lurid and fantastical claims about Donald Trump's supposed connection to Moscow. Those bits of disinformation were provided to the Clinton campaign's allies, some of whom were hired by Elias (one such group was the opposition research firm known as Fusion GPS). The dossier was then deployed by the FBI to obtain secret surveillance against a former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page, beginning in 2016. Its publishing in January 2017 by BuzzFeed led to a yearslong Democratic frenzy: Rep. Adam Schiff, the House intelligence chairman, read portions of it into the Congressional Record, and left-wing partisans and media personalities promoted its false narrative of a collusion conspiracy between Trump and the Kremlin.
It was a grand conspiracist snowball rolled down the hill by Marc Elias, a virtual unknown to most of America but one of the most powerful inner-circle Democratic Party figures in Washington. Along the way, it engulfed and corrupted the nation's democratic processes and the institutions of the federal government and law enforcement. Almost everywhere you lift a stone, Marc Elias is responsible for some grotesque bug lurking beneath….

This may be truthful, but I'm sure he had very expensive financial analysts come in and review everything before making an offer.

Elon Musk’s Twitter Bid Proves The ‘Private Business Can Do What It Wants’ Censorship Defense Was Always Garbage
By: Elle Reynolds
April 14, 2022
The “private business” or “build your own internet” argument in defense of Big Tech censorship was always a garbage excuse to let Silicon Valley silence speech it disagrees with, and the meltdown about Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter (making the platform a truly private company) makes it more obvious than ever.
(I really wonder if the left, knows they sound crazy, or if they ever get embarrassed the bullshit they spread daily)
Everyone that says democracy in a sentence that approves suppression, is a commie!

Some @Elonmusk notable comments from the TED interview today:
Musk declined to say what he would do if the Twitter board rejected his offer, but said he had a plan for that outcome, replying“Yes” when asked whether he had a Plan B. He also conceded, “I don’t like to lose.”
(that sounds like real POTUS to me)

2/ Musk insists funding was secured when he announced that he planned to take $TSLA private. “I was forced to concede to the S.E.C., unlawfully,” Mr. Musk said. “I was forced to admit that I lied to save Tesla’s life, and that’s the only reason.”

3/ Mr. Musk, asked whether $TWTR “funding is secured,” said that he could afford to buy Twitter if the company agreed to the deal. “I have sufficient assets,” he said, adding: “I can do it if possible.”
