Elon Musk officially took control of Twitter on Thursday evening.
Immediately after taking ownership, Mr. Musk fired Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Parag Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Ned Segal, and the Head of Legal Policy, Vijaya Gadde, the person who took responsibility for banning former President Donald Trump from the social media platform. According to The Washington Post, Sean Edgett, the company’s general counsel was also given the boot.
The CEO, CFO and top legal officers all immediately removed. Nice start. Immediately after the top brass cleaning, Musk Tweeted “the bird is freed.” More
The sink was a nice touch, but I think a low-flow toilet would have been better..
I hear the bots are starting to disappear.
I keep telling people who are on Twitter arguing with other “people” that a lot of them were bots.
The more you talk to AI, the more it learns how to talk back to you.
That’s why some of the off the wall libs and run of the mill assholes were not deleted, banned, or shadow-banned.
They served 2 purposes. To troll you, and to learn from you.
Let’s see if AOC’s 13 trillion followers still exist by the end of next week.
Keep the pressure on. The progressive movement is fighting internecine battles right now as well. They have no experience in dealing with what could be coming. These are the rules they play by. Use them.
The Rules
“Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.”
“Never go outside the expertise of your people.”
“Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy.”
“Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule. Also it infuriates the opposition, who then react to your advantage.”
“A good tactic is one your people enjoy.”
“A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag.”
“Keep the pressure on.”
“The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself. ”
“The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.”
“If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside; this is based on the principle that every positive has its negative.”
“The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. “
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. There is no defense. It is almost impossible to counterattack ridicule.”
Hitler, Stalin, Hoxha, Ceaușescu, Tito, Ortega, Kim, Castro, and Mao had those who ridiculed them killed – it was quite effective.

izlamo delenda est …
It’s telling to see leftists threatened by an even/evening/evener balance of the cultural divide. Their ideology can remain, I don’t care if someone has a different opinion than I do. But when my opinion is silenced because their opinions are somehow morally better on their side of the cultural divide, that’s when we have a problem. If you look at this from a high level, the leftists aren’t losing anything. They are just upset that the other side of the cultural divide can pull a fair and balanced seat up to the proverbial table. That means their opinions can be officially challenged in a fair debate without threat of being unfairly removed. Now we can finally watch evil wither in the face of good. That is, if Elon actually pulls through on his promise of free speech.
Now that evidence of their child grooming won’t be suppressed on Twitter it should be up round the clock and blanket Twitter
Although it’s extremely hard to imagine, there will be another technology to replace social media as we know it today. At some point in the future someone will come up with something that will make today’s use of social media obsolete. Remember that horrid dial-up tone? It wasn’t that long ago. And before that? That wasn’t that long ago, either.
Let me put this up for consideration:
If the establishment Republicans in Congress had been doing their job, would it have taken Elon Musk buying Twitter to deal with what had become an absolute outrage?
Not sure why Musk is giving the existing Twitter crew until noon today to cease any of their business-as-usual work tasks. If you read the attached article, and the Feds are neck-deep in collusion with Twitter, it gives them some time to throw a dead man switch, doesn’t it?
Is Trump’s account up and tweeting yet?
A lot of libs are whining that Musk should have started his own platform instead of buying Twitter. To which I say:
You folks can start your own social media platform – and censor anything you disagree with all day long, or
Pony up more money that Musk paid for Twitter and buy it yourself.
Somehow, I don’t think either suggestion will go over well with the “gimmee, gimmee” crowd.
I don’t have a big account, but just today I gained 400 follows. That partially makes up for the losses I have had over the last two years. They might be accounts that were banned and now restored.
I only care about followers so that my Tweets of iOTWr posts can be seen.
I’m laughing at the “woe is me” attitude of one guy in particular who I know via my BFF. He’s a blue check retired doctor and Faucite. All he’s been tweeting about is Jan 6th for months. He has raging TDS. He blocks anyone who disagrees with him.
Now, he’s thinking going to Facebook is the place to go to to share his opinions. 😆
Oh boo hoo! 🤣
And….I’m still suspended.
If you think the repugnicans aren’t in on the grift, you need to catch the fuck up.
