    You know... people get pretty pissed when **** bag liberals work to censor views and outright lie for partisan gain.

    Conservatives have been saying for decades that the progressive lefts overtaking of media and education is dangerous, unethical, and extreme. Yet these hyper partisan radicalized liberals continue to push.

    It takes a billionaire to come in and buy the company to uncover the TRUTH. And now, that Billion is basically Satan to the left.

    If the progressive left wants to play dirty games, expect dirty deed responses.

    Stop crying.

    Stories like this, and what has transpired at Twitter explains the January 6th protests. People are tired of fake news, biased censorship, and propagandizing media to serve a partisan purpose.

    If 80% of news about Trump wasn't negative, filtered to paint a partisan agenda, would Trump have lost?

    They are just trying to appeal to their perceived audience, even though that audience is shrinking. As long as they are still making a buck they don't care if they lost their way towards being the watchdogs of the government instead of serving a political party.

    They aren't making a buck. They consistently lose money and bankrupt companies pushing their hyper partisan agenda.

    It's extremism.

    Air America, CNN, Twitter.

    They don't care, these are all tools for their hyper extreme agenda. Bankrupting companies is just par for the course.

    yep, republicans are pro-mega corps, they do not care about the little guy trying to start\run a business

    Fox News, NewsMax, Twitter

    They don't care, these are all tools for their hyper extreme agenda. Bankrupting companies is just par for the course.

    don't worry, a few more tax cuts for the rich, and it will trickle down

    It's a violation if any government official uses a private entity to silence protected speech, regardless of which official does it. Insert the name of any politician you wish. He also got whacked by the courts for blocking people on Twitter. Informing Twitter of a post that violates their TOS is a little different than working directly with Twitter to create processes to remove specific types of speech and users, though. It would come down to the phrasing of the post and how the courts would interpret it. But, to Musk's point, we now know government officials worked with Twitter to create the rules by which they censored dissidents and opposing views and lied about it under oath.

    so Trump using the courts to silence Stormy from talking about her experiences with our President?

    should not all citizens be free to speak about their President?

    when one becomes President, all personal NDA's should be null and void

    CNN's credibility has been thoroughly impeached.
    Has anyone been arrested for making these threats?

    “The term blockbuster is borrowed from a massive bomb–and this one has gone off with devastating results. Andrew Cuomo was forced to step down this past August. Chris Cuomo was fired in December. CNN’s worldwide president, Jeff Zucker, has resigned. The circumstances of his departure are still unclear: He acknowledged failing to disclose a relationship with a subordinate, though the liaison seems to have been an open secret, and some CNN staffers question the official narrative. Zucker’s romantic partner, Allison Gollust, CNN’s executive vice president and chief marketing officer, has also resigned. Amid the murk, new details about the Cuomo mess have slowly emerged.”

    Stormy Daniels freely entered into an NDA for a specified amount of money. That was a violation of their legally binding contract. Trump was trying to get the courts to enforce their contract as required by law. I didn't follow the Trump/porn star case very closely, but that's a different scenario than what was happening around silencing covid speech.

    that was before Trump was President, when one becomes President, all personal NDA's should be null and void

    all Americans should have the freedom to speak out against their President

    You can attribute that to “leftists” but pedophilia is not a right-left issue. I can just as easily attribute it to conservatives.

    Wasn't Stormy ordered by the court to pay Trump $300K?
    Was the judge a Trumpets? ;-)

    I agree that is how it should be handled. But, it was a valid legal question to have sorted by the courts. Which is what Trump did. And, he lost if my memory serves correctly.

    Then Stormy and her crooked lawyer must have done something very bad -- and stupid.

    The CNN "threat" story looks like Fake News targeting Musk. IMO, no one should trust the MSM without substantial corroboration.

    Remember Jussie Smollett.

    He exposed nothing but his own political bias and his greed with these "releases".

    Elon doesn't care about anything but the almighty dollar. The Twitter files were DESIGNED to elicit the exact response they got. Elon screwed up so bad on his purchase of Twitter that it damn near destroyed the company, and now he is trying to save some of its value by ginning up public sympathy via the twitter files

    If you have read anything on Elon you know he is a narcissist, and a totalitarian owner, and that narccisim is hurting him in the public square. Now for this to make sense, we all have to remember one thing.....ELON TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE DEAL.....the court was going to forced him to buy it, so to save face he just said "OK". Elon, in all of his ego, made an unsolicited offer to buy twitter, then tried to get out of it, and was sued and then agreed to buy it. It was a PR boondoggle, only made worse when Elon actually took over and publicly humiliated most of the staff not only in firing them, but in the way he did it by emailing them a picture of him laughing with other execs and the words "Your FIRED" boldly printed on top.

    Now to save at least some of the value Elon need to figure out who supported him, and who didn't. So he commissioned some "independent journalists" to write up some stories about twitter, and what it was. Files1 came out claiming that both dems and repubs may have had a voice in "editing/removing/suppressing" what was posted on twitter. And he waited for the public feedback on Twitter, and then he released Files 2. Now for those who paid attention to the responses to files1, you could easily guess what Files2 would say. The outrage from the right, based on their perpetual victimhood, created a voice much larger than that from the left, thus Files2 now pushes the conservative victimhood narrative a little harder (by not even mentioning the voices silenced by the right that he claimed happened in Files1), creating an even greater backslash and the voices grow for twitter to make change, and Elon starts publicly announced that change, thus boosting his ego and twitter engagement. Now, AGAIN, for those paying attention we all knew and KNOW what was coming in FILES3 and all future "FILES".

    Elon is feeding his ego, and doing everything he can to get engagement back up as twitters valuation sinks. This is born out by the fact that Elon has to use money for somewhere to prop up Twitter, and the only business he has that has that kind of cash on hand is Tesla. So now he is using that money to help fix his PR debacle at Twitter, and Tesla stock is down 17% this month alone. If you don't think that what Elon is doing is purely PR, your not paying attention. As most people who don't view everything thru a political lens can see, Elon screwed up, and his ego wrote a check his ass cant cash, and he is using Twitter to create a divide, because division created engagement, and engagement creates revenue.

    Stormy's biggest mistake was hiring Avenatti before he made it to the first DP presidential candidates' debate. :)

    I would bet Yoel Roth fed it to his far left wing activists who few it to CNN so he could scream what a victim he is in all of this. Jack Dorsey came out earlier today taking responsibility for this mess that occured when he ran Twitter. But the fact that someone like Yoel Roth even got to where he was and wasn't fired after seeing his "pedophile" and homo-erotic mainstream tweets on Twitter as well as refusing to crack down on kitty porn rampant on Twitter, should have prompted an investigation. Internally and externally. What good is our FBI if they can't even do the basics at this point? Twitter was way too "woke" and just out of control. I am guessing Facebook isn't far behind and I hope someone starts leaking emails and files from that company. Mark Zuckerberg needs to be arrested and indicted for election fraud. His comapny that he hides behind was served with $25 million in election fines. $25 million. That is a record.
