Twitter became a hotbed of anti-free speech after Elon Musk announced that it plans to allow former President Donald Trump onto the platform.
Tesla CEO Elon Tesla recently purchased Twitter. Musk has since stated that he intends to reverse the Trump’s permanent ban. Twitter was quickly flooded with anti-free speech leftists who predicted doom for Trump if he allowed free speech to continue on the platform. The former New York TimesBoth the reporter and the author Steven Greenhouse called Trump “an egomaniacal authoritarian.” Public Citizen president Robert Weissman slammed Musk for allegedly ignoring “the clear and present danger Trump poses to American democracy.” Other leftist accounts piled on with exaggerations and absurd comments.
Radical activist organisation Occupy Democrats’ tweetIt was as hilarious and absurdly funny as ever. “BREAKING: Elon Musk announces that he will reverse Donald Trump’s Twitter ban because it was a ‘morally bad decision’ and ‘alienated a large part of the country’ — paving the way for Trump to use the platform for another deadly insurrection. RT IF YOU SUPPORT BANNING TRUMP!” Occupy Democrats wrote in a tweet.
Weissman also serves as president of Public Citizen (Georg Soros-funded). tweeted: “Elon Musk is wrong in believing Twitter can turn a blind eye to the clear and present danger Trump poses to American democracy.” Does Weissman think free speech is a threat to democracy?
Musk was specifically criticized by some leftists. Journalism professor John Schwartz tweeted condescendingly: “It should amaze us how much Elon Musk is wrong about, and how much he wants to broadcast his wrong opinions and act on them. Somehow, it just makes me tired.”
But the chaos got even worse. CNN’s Reliable Sources anchor Brian Stelter tweeted the otherworldly take from spacey guest and fellow CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota: “@AlisynCamerota’s take on Musk saying he would reverse Trump’s Twitter ban: ‘I think that Elon Musk just knows that he himself can escape to space, and the rest of us earthlings will have to deal with this.’”
Some tweets were based on accusations against Trump. Previous New York TimesBoth the reporter and the author Steven Greenhouse tweeted: “Elon Musk is dangerously wrong about letting Trump back on Twitter. Trump is a non-stop spewer of lies & hatred—He’s an egomaniacal authoritarian who sought to stay in power after losing an election.” Greenhouse hyperbolically ended, “Trump has such a huge megaphone that it’ll be impossible to counter all his lies.”
Media campaign Sleeping GiantsIt seemed that most social media specialists are made up of radical leftists. “Regardless of his Trump announcement, it’s striking to see how Musk’s worldview on social media is not informed by people who have studied it, developed it and made policies for it, but rather by edgelords who used extremism to work the algorithms to build rabid audiences,” the campaign tweeted.
Leftists sometimes found it difficult to communicate their emotions with words. Josiah is a Netflix writer. Johnson tweeted a video of the contents of a stovetop pot bursting into flames with the comment, “Elon Musk adding Trump back to Twitter.”
Another reaction was the cussing. The USA Singers state in their bio “We make Resistance Music … We stand against Fascism.” The USA Singers also tweeted: “Fuck Donald Trump with Elon Musk.”
CNBC reports that Elon Musk will be acting as interim CEO of Twitter following the completion of his purchase deal.
