Well, it appears that Elon Musk will get to buy Twitter and bring it private.\u00a0 I hope it works out for him.\u00a0 It seems like a crazy risk of a ton of money.\u00a0 But what the hell do I know about any of this stuff?\u00a0 There are two extra commas involved in his net worth versus mine.\u00a0 So, kudos, you magnificent nerd and may you turn Twitter into some kind of futuristic electronic town hall where even Deplorables feel like they have a corner to congregate in.<\/p>\n
But I fully expect that the Justice Department and the FDA will be plaguing Musk over every tweet that calls Fauci or Garland fascists.\u00a0 But first things first.\u00a0 Musk should immediately invite POTUS 45 back to his natural environment.\u00a0 Trump needs to be tweeting 24\/7\/365 about all the things that were unfair and wrong.<\/p>\n
The only problem is Trump is trying to tout his own social media site, Truth.\u00a0 How is he supposed to replace Twitter if he goes back on it?\u00a0 And how about the Gab guys?\u00a0 What happens to them if Twitter becomes a viable option for social media for the Right.\u00a0 It\u2019s all very confusing.<\/p>\n
And what about me?\u00a0 Does this mean I have to start tweeting and hawking my products; my photos and my books on Musk\u2019s free speech paradise?\u00a0 Well, I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 I\u2019ve never really figured out how to have my stuff discovered on mainstream platforms.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always done better in a rightwing ghetto.\u00a0 It\u2019s so much easier to be a slightly less small fish in a small pond.<\/p>\n
I wonder how long it will take to find out if Musk can make this thing work.\u00a0 Will he have to fire thousands of the blue-haired wine aunts and cat ladies that work for him in order to stop them from banning anyone who says that old bald fat men in wigs and dresses aren\u2019t women?\u00a0 Will the government shut him down if he allows scientists and medical doctors to speak the truth about what really happened during the COVID fraud?<\/p>\n
Honestly, I have serious doubts whether he won\u2019t regret throwing away that obscene amount of money for a company that doesn\u2019t produce any tangible product and caters to a generation of crazy people who believe in things that even a village idiot thinks are too way out there.\u00a0 I mean what happens if this is a scam and now Musk discovers after a few months that he just pays useless people to run a mad house that no one needs or even likes?\u00a0 I mean, wouldn\u2019t that make him the stupidest rich guy in the world?\u00a0 I guess he\u2019d still have the satisfaction of firing Jack Dorsey and fumigating his old office to cleanse it of the bedbugs that must infest that ratty looking beard of his.\u00a0 And maybe if he fires 95% of the staff there, he could get the thing working efficiently.<\/p>\n
So, as you can probably tell I\u2019m conflicted about Musk\u2019s Twitter play.\u00a0 But in the back of my mind, I\u2019m a little bit hopeful that a guy as smart as Musk is supposed to be, sees the diamond in the rough that Twitter represents and has a plan to turn a sow\u2019s ear into a silk purse.<\/p>\n
But somehow, I think he would have been better off buying a 49% stake in Orion\u2019s Cold Fire.\u00a0 I would have settled for one billion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
