Elon Teases Buying More Companies and Making Them Better – Opinion

Following Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, we’re seeing a lot of suspensions being lifted and suddenly conservatives are getting huge jumps in followers, while liberals are losing followers.

Donald Trump, Jr., who gained more than 200,000 followers over two days, after normally gaining about 7,000 a day, speculated on the phenomenon — that they might be trying to clean up a lot of the censorship trail before Musk comes in.

While I’m awesome and totally deserving of 87,000 new followers a day it seems that someone took the shackles off my account. Wonder if they’re burning the evidence before new mgmt comes in? pic.twitter.com/9Mso48qyNP

In many cases, suspensions are being lifted. So if you’ve been suspended, appeal and see if you get put back. Tucker Carlson — who had been suspended after defending the Babylon Bee, is back. Conservatives, including Mark Levin, have returned to the website. Babylon Bee is still suspended. However, Elon will likely take full control once he has seized the reins. This was what precipitated the purchase of Twitter. But in the meantime, they’ve gained 200,000 followers, according to their CEO, Seth Dillon.

It’s been feeling like whatever boot was put on conservatives might now be lifting and the sunshine is flooding in.

Musk said that Twitter should be “the new Facebook” “politically neutral” — something that would be a Godsend after the bias toward the left. I think it’s fair to say that the shadowbanning that we have seen is likely to go away as well.

Musk seems to be having a lot of fun. Now he is teasing buying more American companies to bring them back, too, even joking that he’d buy Coca-Cola and “put the cocaine back in.”

Next I’m buying Coca-Cola to put the cocaine back in

You know that the left will take that seriously and say he’s encouraging the use of drugs.

Let’s make Twitter maximum fun!

He was soon surrounded by people proposing better things that he could make and buy. Dogecoin’s creator asked Elon if he could purchase Fox to bring back Firefly. “Some sci-fi that actually features sci-fi would be great,” Musk agreed.

It’s possible to buy Rolling Stone without having to pay for the music.

Musk did joke he had some limits, using a photoshop someone did of him saying he would buy McDonald’s and fix all the ice cream machines.

“Listen, I can’t do miracles ok,” he laughed.

However, he already seems to have brought some positive effects and renewed hope for fairness via Twitter. That’s a great thing for us all.
