Libs Blindsided: Progressives Shocked After Investor Turns Social Media Giant Upside Down
Early in the morning on April 4, 2022, news broke that has blindsided liberals and could lead to a Trump comeback.
For months America’s richest man, Elon Musk has been contemplating building his own social media platform to combat the censorship that is going on inside Twitter. Since they banned Trump the social media giant has been on a campaign shutting down troublesome right-wing accounts so they can control the narrative. Publishers like the satire site, The Babylon Bee and Charlie Kirk have been shut down along with others merely for asking questions or going against the liberal agenda.
Well that all may be changing really soon, Elon has now purchased a major stake in the company controlling 9.2% of all its shares.
From CNBC:
Musk owns 73,486,938 shares of Twitter, which represents a 9.2% passive stake in the company, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission 13G filing released Monday. The stake is worth $2.89 billion, based Twitter’s closing price Friday.
The purchase was made after Musk complained that the social media company isn’t following the principle of free speech.
Given that Twitter serves as the de facto public town square, failing to adhere to free speech principles fundamentally undermines democracy.

Dan Ives said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that Musk could, “try to take a more aggressive stance here on Twitter. This eventually could lead to some sort of buyout.”
“This makes sense given what Musk has at least been talking about, at least from a social media perspective,” Ives added.
Musk has been critical of the company’s behavior and his purchase is a fantastic solution for the free market to deal with censorship rather than the government getting involved.
Elon Musk and like-minded, free speech supporting billionaires buying a controlling stake in Twitter is the only plausible “market-based” solution to censorship on the platform

Make no mistake this has liberals blindsided, they didn’t see this coming and Twitter was their baby that they were using to manipulate the narrative. Musk owns so much stock that if they don’t bend to his wishes he could singlehandedly sink the company.
