Elon Musk is putting everything on the line

Facebook is controlled by one person, Mark Zuckerberg, but that’s not a threat because Mark Zuckerberg is happy to work on behalf of the democratic party.

Tucker looks at what the opponents of free speech are attempting to stop Elon Musk from purchasing Twitter, including not so subtly threatening his businesses. Highlights include:

“Elon Musk understands something about Twitter that many people in our country don’t understand, which is that is the single most important forum for speech, possibly in the world — not because it’s the biggest, but because it’s where “elite opinion” is incubated.”

“And so, free speech on Twitter matters, and last month, Elon Musk gave the impression that he planned to do something about it, that he planned to open up Twitter, he bought 10% of the company. Now, today, Musk has just put in an offer to buy 100% of Twitter.”

“Musk then made it clear that he has no confidence whatsoever in the people who currently run Twitter, including its pro-censorship CEO. ‘If the deal doesn’t work, given that I don’t have confidence in management nor do I believe I can drive the necessary change in the public market, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder.'”

“That means if Twitter’s board rejects Elon Musk’s offer, they will need to explain why to their shareholders they’d turn down a deal that would make the shareholders much richer. So, by doing this, Elon Musk is putting everything on the line.”

“Their rule depends on censorship and propaganda. If you are offering policies that really benefit nobody but yourself, you have to lie about them and you must prevent anyone from complaining about it. So, censorship and propaganda are at the very heart of neoliberalism, and Elon Musk is challenging all of that directly.”

As Elon Musk offers to buy the rest of Twitter a legal source tells Fox Business that the SEC and the DOJ have launched what he described as a “joint investigation” into a myriad of Musk regulatory issues primarily involving Tesla’

“In other words, threaten to allow people to speak freely and we’ll crush your businesses. That’s third world behavior.”

“So, all of a sudden, the political party that’s supported almost exclusively by oligarchs like Jeff Bezos and the google guys is telling you that it’s dangerous for rich people to have too much control over speech. Really?”

“Facebook is controlled by one person, Mark Zuckerberg, but that’s not a threat because Mark Zuckerberg is happy to work on behalf of the democratic party. Once again, if anything, we are understating what a big deal this move on Twitter by Elon Musk is. If free speech is restored to even one big social media platform, it all comes tumbling down.”

Tucker: We’re Back.

At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.

Tucker again lays into the media propaganda machine as he announces he’s taking the show to Twitter. Highlights include:

“You often hear people say that news is full of lies, but most of the time, that’s not exactly right. Much of what you see on television or read in the New York Times is, in fact, true in the ‘literal’ sense, it could pass one of the media’s own ‘fact checks.’ Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it, in fact they may have. But that doesn’t make it true. It’s not true.”

“At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.”

“The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can, but there are always limits, and you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it. That’s not a guess, it’s guaranteed. Every person who works in the English language media understands that. The rule of what you can’t say defines everything. It’s filthy, really, and it’s utterly corrupting.”

“For the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets. You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter. The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that’s a bad system. We know exactly how it works, and we’re sick of it.”

Tucker: See you soon

When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink.

Oh gosh, I’m using Twitter. Tucker dropped a video today on his Twitter account, again commenting on the current state of US media and finishing with a hopeful “See you soon.” Highlights include:

“One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true, and a bunch of hilarious people also, a lot of those, it’s gotta be the majority of the population, even now, so that’s heartening. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are…”

“Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one party state. That’s a depressing realization, but it’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain dead.”

“This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won’t. The people in charge know this, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force. But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe, true things prevail.”
