The (Blue) Bird is Freed ?

Elon Musk's 4-Word First Tweet as Twitter Owner Sets the Stage for What's to Come

The twisting saga of Elon Musk’s bid to buy Twitter ended late Thursday, with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO closing on the $44 billion deal to buy the social media platform.

Musk marked the occasion, as he has so many other milestones on the tumultuous journey, with a tweet.

“[T]he bird is freed,” he wrote.

On Thursday night, Musk began the process of cleaning house, according to The New York Times.

Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s CEO; Ned Segal, its chief financial officer; Vijaya Gadde, head legal and policy executive; and Sean Edgett, general counsel, were all booted, according to the report, which quoted sources it did not name.

At least one of those fired was escorted out of Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters.

Musk has made it clear he wants the social media platform to be a forum for open discussion — something it has drifted away from in recent years as it silenced conservative voices.

Many Twitter users on the right reacted happily to the deal’s closing.

As that last tweet indicated, those on the left were less enthusiastic about Musk’s purchase.

The Musk era will kick off Friday with a companywide town hall, according to The Washington Post.

The company also has some internal changes to make, including dissolving the current board of directors.

As noted by the Times, Musk will be owning Twitter as a privately held company, which means the dialogue between the company and the outside world could be radically changed with it not having to report to shareholders.

For Twitter, the purchase came as the company was going to fall far short of its revenue targets for the year, the Post reported.

The company had been planning major cuts to staff — including third-party contractors who serve as content moderators — to reduce labor costs by $700 million.

The Times noted that having Musk at the pinnacle of Twitter caused an outbreak of fretting among those who fear unbridled speech will cause problems.

“There could be real-world consequences to his leadership,” said David Kaye, a law professor at the University of California, Irvine, who worked with the United Nations on issues of free speech. “To the extent that world leaders see they have this space and it’s unmoderated, they could push to see how far they can go.”

“It’s a ‘back-to-the-future’ reversion to content rules circa 2010, but one that ignores the lived experience over the last decade,” said Colin Crowell, Twitter’s former head of global public policy, who left the company in 2019. “People eventually realize that the Wild West needs a sheriff, both for ensuring the safety of citizens but also for enhancing the prospects for commerce.”

Musk addressed that in a message to advertisers on Thursday.

“Twitter obviously cannot become a free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences!” he wrote.

“In addition to adhering to the laws of the land, our platform must be warm and welcoming to all, where you can choose your desired experience according to your preferences, just as you can choose, for example, to see movies or play video games ranging from all ages to mature,” Musk said.

Looks like Donald Trump and Elon Musk have cleared-up their differences. :handshake:

Trump Says He’s Staying on Truth Social Amid Musk Twitter Takeover, Says: ‘I Like it Better’

Former President Donald Trump says that he will be staying on Truth Social, despite widespread speculation that Elon Musk will be reinstating his account on Twitter.

Trump launched Truth Social after being banned on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat following the protest at the Capitol on January 6.

In an interview with Fox News Digital on Friday, Trump said, “I like Elon and I wish him a lot of luck. I hope he does well with it.”

“I am staying on Truth. I like it better, I like the way it works, I like Elon, but I’m staying on Truth,” Trump added.

Trump said that “terminating” him from social media platforms was “one of the worst decisions made in business in the last two years,” and noted “how badly these platforms are doing.”

“Facebook is now down $80 billion and boring,” Trump said. “Twitter has been taken over, and, if it wasn’t for me, it would have never been taken over. No one would have even thought about it.”

Trump said that Twitter had already been a “failing operation” long before he was banned.

“I made Twitter hot 12 years ago, I made Twitter hot,” he said. “And then when they terminated, it became cold, and that’s what happened.”

Of both Twitter and Facebook, Musk said “engagements are way down and everything else since I left.”

“And if you remember, 12 years ago, Twitter was a failed enterprise,” he continued. “It was only when I got on that it became successful.”

Trump said that he finds his platform more aesthetically pleasing.

“I want to stay on Truth — Truth is better,” Trump said. “I like it better, it is better to my eye, and last week, it was higher than TikTok. It was number one last week.”

Musk has been on a firing spree since he took over the platform on Thursday, including terminating the woman who took credit for the decision to ban Trump — head of legal policy, trust, and safety Vijaya Gadde.

Perhaps the Gibraltar Messenger account will be restored?

ELON MELTDOWNS JUST GETTING STARTED NOW THAT HE'S IN FULL CONTROL OF TWITTER!

Carrying in the kitchen sink was a top-notch publicity stunt.

No telling how many accounts were deleted by Twitter and like FB they are stored and not actually ever removed permanently. Some accounts, like the popular D.J.T. with millions of followers could be manually restored by Elon Musk; others might be restored electronically having to pass through a filter and, if so, all of a sudden they are restored. You never know.

Elon Musk Just FACT-CHECKED Hillary Clinton About The Truth of the Paul Pelosi Attack — AND ELON IS RIGHT- THE WEBSITES WERE CREATED AFTER THE ATTACK!

Elon Musk is wasting no time in turning Twitter into a place where truth is not censored.

In his latest move Musk called out Hillary Clinton for sharing a LA Times article that aimed to paint Paul Pelosi’s “attacker” David DePape as a far-right conspiracy theorist.

Musk would respond to Clinton by tweeting “There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye” and then proceed to link an article titled “The Awful Truth: Paul Pelosi Was Drunk Again, And In a Dispute With a Male Prostitute Early Friday Morning.”

The original link to the article was scrubbed from Google but here’s a quote from the archived version of the article:

As SF’s gay bars closed at 2 am, two gay men met in a bar and went home together. Happens every night in the City by the Bay. Except one of these two men, was married to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

It’s been a rumor for years in SF that Paul Pelosi is gay. David Depape is said to be a Castro Nudist. “The lunatic who allegedly assaulted Paul Pelosi is a Berkeley resident and a ‘Former Castro Nudist Protester’.

Joe Hoft at The Gateway Pundit reported last night that the information Hillary Clinton used to smear Republicans is FALSE.

The websites that started these rumors were created after the attack on Friday. They were taken down on Saturday!

Complaints abound about some tweets and accounts still being deleted. Elon Musk has tweeted that he is in the process of forming a committee on this issue and, until then, the resolution of deleted accounts will be delayed until a committee is formed and convenes.

Elon Musk Wears Costume With Baphomet And Inverted Cross for Halloween

Elon Musk has been receiving a lot of praise lately for liberating Twitter but he has some major explaining to do.

Before attending Heidi Klum’s Halloween party, Musk took to Twitter to show off his Halloween costume.

His costume quickly garnered many users’ attention due to the fact he wore red leather body armor that was decorated with a giant Baphomet that had an inverted cross on its forehead.

Users on Twitter quickly pointed out that Elon’s costume was “demonic” and reflected “anti-Christ imagery”.

https://twitter.com/Reptile_Hybrid/status/1587330248395264000

The outfit itself doesn’t originate from any tv show or video game.

Per the Daily Mail, “Musk’s outfit is the Devil’s Champion-Leather Armor set that retails for $7,500”.

Musk’s take on free speech should be celebrated but as of right now it’s quite fair to question why the world’s richest man, who is also a major U.S. Defense contractor (SpaceX) and is the owner of Neural Link a company attempting to hook the human brain up to computers is wearing the Baphomet coupled with inverted crosses as if its a badge of honor.

Report: Elon Musk wants to charge $20 a month for Twitter verified status

Lee Fang, investigative journalist: Docs show Facebook & Twitter working with FBI, DHS to monitor "disinformation"

Link above includes FOX news report.

THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY is quietly broadening its efforts to curb speech it considers dangerous, an investigation by The Intercept has found. Years of internal DHS memos, emails, and documents — obtained via leaks and an ongoing lawsuit, as well as public documents — illustrate an expansive effort by the agency to influence tech platforms.

The work, much of which remains unknown to the American public, came into clearer view earlier this year when DHS announced a new “Disinformation Governance Board”: a panel designed to police misinformation (false information spread unintentionally), disinformation (false information spread intentionally), and malinformation (factual information shared, typically out of context, with harmful intent) that allegedly threatens U.S. interests. While the board was widely ridiculed, immediately scaled back, and then shut down within a few months, other initiatives are underway as DHS pivots to monitoring social media now that its original mandate — the war on terror — has been wound down.

Behind closed doors, and through pressure on private platforms, the U.S. government has used its power to try to shape online discourse. According to meeting minutes and other records appended to a lawsuit filed by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican who is also running for Senate, discussions have ranged from the scale and scope of government intervention in online discourse to the mechanics of streamlining takedown requests for false or intentionally misleading information.

Freemason Technocrat Elon Musk Proudly Displays his Allegiance to Satan on Halloween – Beware the “Twitter Trap!”

We exposed many of the false claims made by Elon Musk, and warned people that the real threat the Technocrats posed was in data collection, and this is what I wrote about Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter:

Why do you think Elon Musk wanted to buy Twitter, and why do you think he was so concerned about all the fake accounts in Twitter?

Data collection. And you thought it was because he is a good person and champions uncensored “free speech”?

I doubt it. Musk has made his billions by taking handouts from the Government, and it is probably pay back time now.

I would not be surprised at all if some of the Globalists finally figured out it was a mistake to expel all the conservatives and COVID deniers from Twitter, because then they cannot track them, and then they presented their plan to Musk to go buy it and get everyone to come back on so they could be monitored and tracked.

And as to his plans for Twitter, someone has found a video where he admits that he wants to turn Twitter into the same thing as the Chinese WeChat app, which is the main app China uses to combine social media, digital identity, vaccination and medical status, criminal history, tracking and surveillance, digital currency, shopping, carbon footprint, and is their major input into the Chinese “Social Credit Score.”

See his satin worshipping costume in the threads above

One person wrote: “What’s up with the satanic symbolism bro?” Another suggested Musk has showed where his “allegiance lies”.

In 2008, Musk was a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader. While Musk is determined to have this information removed from the internet, the fact he was once affiliated with the WEF should come as no surprise. Musk shares many of Klaus Schwab’s nefarious goals, including microchipping children and drilling chips into human brains.

There is plenty of evidence to suggest Musk is still firmly on the inside of the WEF and his front as free-wheeling capitalist technoking is part of a double-agent ruse to manipulate the masses on social media.

Referred to as Twitter Complaint Hotline Operator on his Twitter profile, Elon Musk knows where he is (and we are). The profile* location says Hell. *Profile settings are subject to change.

Elon Musk is an example of why standing in the middle of the road is not a good idea. I feel sorry for him. He is not free and appears to be as much as, or more of, a slave than anyone.

How can a MK-Ultra victim (slave) provide freedom for anyone else? He obviously cannot.

The idea to charge a fee was presented as a tweet to Elon Musk. He pondered that for a short period of time and without delay it happened. He works fast. It is not necessary to pay ($8.00), but it is an option to get some perks and a verified account with a check :white_check_mark:.

In addition, Twitter (Elon Musk) is looking into monetizing videos similar to YT. Good idea. Creating movies, documentaries, etc. takes time, effort and funds. People ought to be rewarded.

The monetizing idea is presented in a tweet and Elon Musk responds:

If twitter could handle the full length feature videos that I produce and can offer a similar monetization system like YouTube does, I would consider uploading my full videos here too for sure. https://t.co/JsYw9DI9oO

We can do 42 min chunks at 1080 resolution now for new Blue, so you could break up a longer video. The 42 min limit should be fixed next month.

How does YouTube monetization work & what could Twitter do better?
