Free Speech™

It's only for the stupefyingly wealthy and narcissistic.


You may've heard, failed rocket man and son of wealth and madness, Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion.


Musk added in his Monday statement that he wants to "make Twitter better than ever by enhancing the product with new features, making the algorithms open source to increase trust, defeating the spam bots, and authenticating all humans." Separately, he said in a tweet Monday that he hopes "even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means.” (source)

Reading between the lines (and ignoring the cloying smoke he's trying to blow up our asses), he’s gonna reinstate all the bomb-throwing, coup inciting, scrambled weasel brained fascists because that’s what Free Speech™ is all about.  

Right? Right?

Eh, Musk the Monkey Killer only LURVS the Free Speech™ as long as he’s not the one being free speeched about.


At Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, Musk has a long track record of silencing or punishing anyone who goes public with criticism of a project or practice. Workers must sign nondisclosure agreements and arbitration clauses that prevent them from taking their employer to court.

Meanwhile, Musk uses his Twitter account, where he has more than 80 million followers and a fan base he can ignite, to publicly mock others, from a local health official during the early days of the pandemic to Parag Agrawal, Twitter’s current chief executive officer.

But those who have said things Musk didn’t like have seen their reputations publicly trashed. Vernon Unsworth, a British caver who helped rescue 12 boys trapped in Thailand, called Musk’s efforts to help a “PR stunt” in 2018. Musk retaliated by calling him a “pedo guy.” Then he paid $50,000 to a dubious private investigator to dig into Unsworth’s background in the U.K. and Thailand. He also attempted to depose a reporter, Ryan Mac, who was covering Unsworth’s defamation lawsuit against Musk.


That same year, Musk went after Martin Tripp, a worker at Tesla’s battery plant in Nevada. Tripp saw himself as an idealist trying to improve the company’s operations; Musk viewed him as a dangerous foe who engaged in sabotage and shared data with the press and “unknown third parties.”


Tesla’s PR department spread false rumors that Tripp was possibly homicidal and had threatened to “shoot the place up,” even though authorities had already determined that Tripp posed no immediate threat and wasn’t armed. (source) 

Elon of the anorexically thin dermis doesn’t want everyone to have the happy, happy Free Speech™. That’s to be strictly unavailable to folks with the balls on temerity to make helpful biz suggestions, those who proffer churlish complaints or *GASP* one who dares to speak truth to power (Musk being the ‘power’ in this case).


Elon Musk will restore every twitter user's God given right to incite violent insurrection and overthrow the government. 

 The Republic is saved!

Yup, unless he runs it into a stinking, steaming, diarrheal pool of rhino poo soaked earth first. (also, that Jim Wright tweet is total snark...duh)
