Liberals online are incredibly upset that Elon Musk has purchased Twitter and is about to turn it into a private entity, claiming that the South African-born billionaire is a violent, racist, fascist who loves to spread misinformation.
As Valiant News reported, Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion, at a price of $54.20 a share, after he said that the Big Tech platform had to become private in order to ensure that free speech and democracy would be protected.
“Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” Musk said. “I also want to make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features,” he added, concluding that “Twitter has tremendous potential.”
However, given his commitment to protecting free speech, blue check verified liberals and others declared that not only were they set to leave the platform, but that Musk would be set to unleash waves of violent incel racism onto Twitter.
That’s it that seals the deal. I’m no longer a twitter user. I’ve been a user since 2021 and have never been more disgusted. I officially will be deactivating my account. I’m going to Instagram where they know how to run a platform.

Is there anyone out there who's not a fascist or an idiot and has the wherewithal to create an alternative to Twitter for decent people?

I guess for a fascist with all the money in the world, twitter is a Musk-have.

Look at the bright side. You’ve been saying to yourself for years that you should spend less time on Twitter. Elon Musk is about to make that easy for you by making this place an absolute hell hole. The down side, of course, is all the violence he’ll help the fascists organize.

When you turn this platform into Parler on acid and let it become a tool for fascists to launch increasingly violent attacks like they did on January 6, I hope people find a way to sue you for everything you have.

Other liberals started to become concerned about the fact that Musk would spread “misinformation” on the platform, which has had a history of removing “fake news” that didn’t sit well with mainstream outlets, such as the coronavirus lab leak theory.
I still think Elon Musk owning Twitter is a bad idea. He will amplify racists, bigots, and misinformation. He is a bad-faith actor with his distorted views of free speech and censorship.

Elon Musk owning Twitter means it becomes a free for all for disinformation, misinformation, and those who perpetuate it (like Trump.) As investor of Twitter I’m pissed, as a user I’m done if it goes private.
— Ben O'Keefe (he/they) (@benjaminokeefe) April 25, 2022
It was fun while it lasted, but with Musk owning Twitter now it’s going to become a fascist right wing propaganda platform. Somehow this all plays perfectly to ensure the right will be free to sow their disinformation with ease. Gotta wonder what kind of deal Musk made with TFG.

Blue check users, such as former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, highlighted the fact that Twitter should now be publicly regulated rather than remain under the whims of one owner, despite having previously argued that Twitter, as a private company, could ban anybody it likes.
If you believe in free speech, you should oppose Elon Musk's attempt to buy Twitter. If he's successful, it would put extraordinary power into the hands of one man.

It’s almost as if Twitter should be treated as a public utility rather than subject to the whims of the world’s richest man.

In one of the most egregious posts written after Musk’s purchase, self proclaimed “antiracist educator” Tim Wise said that liberals will will have to resort to physical means to “deal with Nazis,” citing the African American billionaire’s stance on free speech.
We're gonna have to deal with Nazis the way our grandparents did because Elon Musk is gonna let them say whatever they want in the name of free speech. Cool, there are other options…

Musk probably paid too much for Twitter. Have found life is just fine without Twitter.

I agree with you, Nick about life being fine without Twitter. But, right now, life is enhanced by the smile on my face watching this go down and the liberals/leftists hair on fire. It is glorious. When I see some of these “holier-than-thou” crying about how it is going to stifle free speech I find myself laughing heartily.

The other thing I find so amusing about this is that if I were inclined and really wanted to waste my precious time that I could find Tweets where these same people calling out Musk as a racist, sexist, homowhatever would have been talking about what a great and special individual he was. The future of the world. Same as they used to suck Trump’s Richard until all-of-a-sudden he was running for President. Then he became a racist, sexist, homowhatever. Pass the popcorn.

FIRST AMENDMENT WARNING!
The First Amendment’s “free” speech isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be.
To begin with, to promote or defend the First Amendment’s religious freedom is to be guilty of violating the First Commandment.
Religious Freedom and Christian Liberty are NOT the same thing. In fact, Christian Liberty (aka biblical dominion) was sacrificed on the altar Religious Freedom.
Without the parameters of the Bible’s moral law, the First Amendment has proven to be a toxic brew. For example, Amendment 1 condemns the prohibition of speech, whether spoken or written. Does the Bible provide for free speech or does it limit speech? What about freedom of speech and freedom of the press as it concerns Yahweh Himself? Does God grant us freedom to curse Him or blaspheme His name?
On the other hand, freedom of speech and freedom of the press is used to provide protection for those who promote false religions, in utero infanticide, sodomy, drug abuse, violence, obscenities, and other abominations condemned by Yahweh.
The provision in Amendment 1 for United States citizens to assemble peaceably appears innocuous. But is it harmless to give sodomites, infanticide advocates, and Satanists the right to assemble peaceably? If you are a proponent of the Constitution and a defender of Amendment 1, you must also champion the rights of such criminals and anti-Christians to assemble and promote their wicked agendas.
Homosexuals and infant assassins claim freedom of speech and the right to assemble to combat Christians who speak out or assemble against these heinous people and their brazen debauchery. By labeling what Christians do as hate crimes, these immoral people are able to employ Amendment 1 against Christians speaking and/or assembling against these atrocities.
According to the Bill of Rights, it is the alleged religious right of these sodomites, baby killers, and Satanists to use Amendment 1 against Christians.

All those LIE-berals who claim Musk is fascist fail to see the irony when it is they whom are the fascists and censors of free speech. What they claim Musk is they are guilty of. Let all of those ‘blue checks’ go to Instagram. Nobody I know uses it. And there they will die. When Musk gains control the first thing he should do is get rid of the ‘blue check’ system.
