Not surprisingly, a whole lot of people have had a heckuva lot to say about Twitter announcing in a press release Monday that “it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an entity wholly owned by Elon Musk, for $54.20 per share in cash in a transaction valued at approximately $44 billion.”
In general, conservatives by far have been the most excited and receptive to the news, while the meltdowns from Twitter woketivists, mainstream media “journalists,” and Twitter employees alike have been pretty predictable and, quite frankly, hilarious, especially when you consider their previous advice to conservatives about how they should just “start their own platform” if they didn’t like the way Twitter treated them.
Democrat and Republican politicians also voiced concern about the Musk/Twitter story. I must say that the “concerns” expressed by Congressional Democrats about the deal are pretty telling, especially considering how Twitter unabashedly carried Joe Biden’s water in 2020 to the point they even censored stories critical of him, like the one from the New York Post on the Hunter Biden laptop emails that broke just a few weeks before Election Day. Some reports after the election indicated that they suppressed the story to Biden’s advantage.
But in perhaps the least self-aware tweet of all time – and if not, certainly a top-five contender, House Intel Committee Chair Adam Schiff express his worry to Elon Musk that Musk’s “personal views will stop the fight against disinformation on social media”:
Here’s my take on the world’s richest man buying Twitter:
His car and rocket are both great.
But I’m concerned his personal views will stop the fight against disinformation on social media.
The problem on Twitter hasn’t been too much content moderation – it’s too much hate.

That the undisputed king of disinformation and the suppression of facts that are inconvenient to Democrat narratives expressed such a “concern” was not lost on Twitter users, including The Federalist’s Sean Davis, who cleaned Schiff’s clock in response:
Jim Jordan sent you fake text messages. Russian collusion is what you lied about. You fabricated emails from Don Jr. You are the last person on earth who should be whining about “disinformation.” YOU are the biggest source of disinformation in the country. https://t.co/HUVmj5gOQu

At the time of writing, over 1,500 quote RTsI was able to find responses from almost all of them that were similar.
When Schiff raises his tongue, I recall this horrible clip in which Devin Nunes tried to torpedo him as he sat next to him at the November 2019 televised impeachment inquiry hearings. It details all of the many ways SchiffCo has acted. lied to the American people – and fabricated “evidence” – about Trump/Russia collusion.

Schiff doesn’t give a damn about disinformation. What he’s really “concerned” about here, of course, is that the muzzle on conservatives and conservative-leaning news outlets will be lifted courtesy of Musk, allowing for sunlight, balance, and truth to come out. That this terrifies Democrats and “reporters” more than anything else tells us everything we need to know about them, with none of it being good.
