    Billionaire Elon Musk, the new owner of social media company Twitter, has been on a roll ticking off the liberals left and right with new, sweeping changes being made that level the playing field and are bringing censorship on the platform to an end. And the latest statement he’s made, which amounts to a blanket statement of support for Republican Party candidates, is sure to make these lunatics foam at the mouth.

    According to the Daily Wire, the Tesla CEO told “independent-minded” voters, the day before the midterm elections, to cast their ballots for GOP candidates. Musk then cited the fact that President Joe Biden currently holds control of the Executive Branch for the Democrats, noting that a split in Washington would end up being far better than one-party rule...

    I hope the author and source are exactly right about their opinion shared here. It’s great that the big tech social media monopoly is over. Let there be free speech.

    He’s right that independents would benefit from divided government over the status quo.

    He's no dummy, even if he is a little insane.

    For years Twitter has been a breeding ground for radical left wing extremists, now everyone has an equal voice and I doubt the left is going to like it.

    Several “celebrities” on the left have announced their departure. Good riddance!

    Foam at the mouth? LOL! I laugh at the conservatives doing victory laps, as if Musk taking over twitter is somehow making their lives better. Newsflash: A multi-billionaire does not have your best interest at heart.

    Oh no ... not celebrities ... say it ain't so!

    Do you think they'll 'move' to somewhere whiter and more fascist? Cyber-Canada? That's what they usually threaten to do, after all.

    I am not concerned about or know whether Musk has my best interest at heart or not, but free speech in social media is something I support 100%. I fail to see how that could be anything other than a net positive for society going forward.

    They know he has bigger fish to fry. The de-politicising of media is a good business move, after all.

    And what you call victory laps, is just deep amusement. I'm a Lefty myself, and can see the funny side of it. I saw the funny side of it when Trump won, too. I would suggest that if you've reached a point where that's not possible, you've taken your politics too far. You're in religion territory.

    Well said.

    I suspect that for some (perhaps many), a society free from thought-policing is a society they can't or won't compete in. That kind of society demands they fight for their own survival - just like every living creature since the dawn of time. They'll do whatever it takes to prevent the possibility .... even become monsters.

    Not better, fairer! And clearly, the leftist hands are hardly clean when it comes to idolizing BILLIONAIRES and doing what they instruct them to do and say ;)

    History will record Mr. Musk as a true patriot. Funny how it took someone born in South Africa to show the USA the way.

    So if a Republican wins the presidency in 2024, you'd want to see a Democrat majority in Congress?

    I wouldn't be cheering about his announcement just yet. Elon says a lot of things and backtracks. As the website says, follow the money.
