Twitter employees have reportedly struggled with the news that the company is on the verge of being acquired by Tesla CEO Elon Musk with some of them too "shocked" to speak over the billionaire’s plans to promote freedom of speech. Several Twitter employees expressed serious concerns and fear over Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of the company including a prominent worry that Musk would undo censorship mechanisms they had worked to implement over the years, The Washington Post reported Monday.

Comments:

It sure seems like a LOT of Twitter employees have personality disorders-they are 'too shocked' to even think that they will have to allow FREE SPEECH! What a pathetic bunch of hypocrites.

Good thing many of these snowflakes are already working from home. That way they are already in their pajamas with their blankies so they can cry in their safe spots with their therapy animals. Maybe they can all meet up at a Starbucks and have a group therapy session (if they are not too afraid to go outside), masked up of course, to discuss their oppressive workplace and what a hostile work environment they must endure. Oh, the horrors!

Well, I cannot imagine the present Twitter employees looking forward to working for anyone who believes in free speech, and I also cannot imagine their ever getting another position where they'd have as much power to determine what opinions are acceptable and what opinions are unacceptable in the public square. So I can understand why they feel in a bit of a quandary.

One big round of downsizing and the reality of rent and car payments without income could give them a whole new perspective on this 'employment' thing. It's an education many older Americans know well. This absurd world they live in is a luxury, not a guaranteed reality.

Jack Posobiec made a great point on Bannon's show today. Musk didn't just buy a software company, he bought evidence. Making the Twitter code open source and acquiring all the internal documentation and emails that circulated as they censored and shadow banned the US Commander in Chief will open them up to civil lawsuits. Many other shadow banned accounts that posted legitimate information on COVID vaccines and the laptop-from-hell will also find a trove of lawsuit evidence if the source code is exposed to public eyes.

"some of them too "shocked" to speak" Now if they become too shocked to come to work (called quitting) that would be great. There is going to be less censorship work to do at Twitter anyway. They won't be needed.

Musk should move the entire company to somewhere like Oklahoma - a place that these snowflakes would NEVER move to. Then he can hire real Americans, his corporate taxes will drop and his business will be located in an area where there are no feces on the sidewalks and much much less crime.

While I'm sure he thought of it, his Tesla stock is taking a big hit, and admittedly this is a generality, as it tends to be those of the "save the planet" species that would be purchasers of products and stock in that company.

Adams gave a news conference Sunday morning at the Port Authority where he greeted an incoming bus of around 40 migrants — only 14 of whom disembarked in the Big Apple."This is horrific when you think about what the governor is doing," Adams said, noting that many of the arriving families did not realize they were coming to New York City.

Pete Carroll said NFL owners should "stop living in their own universe" and get more comfortable with minority coaches that don’t look like them during a session at the league’s annual meeting in Palm Beach last month and that’s exactly what the NFL has mandated will happen. The league last week sent out a memo to all clubs announcing that 32 "diverse, prospective club-nominated head coach and general manager prospects will have networking opportunities with club and league office executives" at the NFL’s spring meeting on May 23 and 24. The memo doesn’t say it, but it’s simply a fact: No white males will be included.

On Monday evening, the FBI took the unprecedented step of raiding the home of former President Donald Trump. What were they looking for? Astonishingly, what is being leaked to the media is that they were after documents that possibly violated the Presidential Records Act. Far from their promises of proving some grand conspiracy involving January 6th, it appears the Democrats, using the power of the nation’s federal law enforcement apparatus, are trying to take Donald Trump out with selective enforcement of provisions that are normally handled in a civil, not criminal manner. Where have we seen that before? None of this is a coincidence, and none of it is justified.

He later connected the raid to the Senate’s passage of the radical $700 billion Inflation Reduction Act, which among other things, allots $80 billion to hire 87,000 new IRS enforcement agents “to target Americans with as many as one million additional audits per year on taxpayers earning less than $200,000

After all that, the safe at Mar-a-Lago was empty. It was pried open by FBI agents who swarmed the premises under the pretense that they were looking for documents marked for preservation by the National Archives. Does anyone believe that? The FBI’s raid on the former president’s home was not over boxes of documents. If you think that, please, get some crack cocaine, White Claws, and wallow in total ignorance in an observation tank while high as a kite. This line about the documents is politburo stuff, except we’re not the Soviet Union. The FBI was there to find Russian collusion material they know doesn’t exist.

With inflation raging and the shadow of recession looming, it’s difficult to envision a worse time to pass a tax-and-spend bill like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Yet, that’s just what Senate Democrats did Sunday. It’s even harder to imagine that “moderate” Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.), both of whom voted for the bill, believe it will live up to its Orwellian name. If so, they are at odds with the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), hundreds of economists, millions of Americans, and even Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

On Friday, NPR promoted their coverage of New York City and Washington D.C. struggling to handle increasing numbers of illegal immigrants being dropped off in their cities by Govs. Greg Abbott, Texas, and Doug Ducey, Ariz. The title of their article read "GOP governors sent buses of migrants to D.C. and NYC — with no plan for what's next." "Texas and Arizona governors continue to send buses full of migrants and refugees to Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, just a few blocks from the Capitol building.
