1) Elon Musk buys 9% of Twitter, and becomes the largest shareholder. 2) Two months ago, the President of CNN, Jeff Zucker, was forced to resign. 3) on March 16, the New York Times finally admitted that the Hunter Biden laptop is authentic. CNN and WaPo followed suit.
Are we seeing a pattern, here?
Will Twitter change significantly, with Elon Musk at the helm? Will Elon Musk force Free Speech to be the rule on Twitter? Will Trump Twitter account be reinstated?
Was the move of Elon Musk to buy a big chunk of Twitter the fruit of a secret agreement between Elon Musk and Donald Trump? Will we have OUR Twitter accounts reinstated?
What do you think?
* * * Edit to add (after some thinking…): For Elon Musk buying 9.2% of Twitter was just change: $3 Billion. (his net worth is $270 Billion). In my opinion it is obvious that Musk will reinstate Trump Twitter account: it would triple the value of Musk investment - and it would multiply by 6 or 7 if he reinstates also the accounts of the Trump supporters that have been deleted. So it all makes sense from the $$$ perspective.
In the end, it will come out as a genius operation: it will be Twitter the new Trump platform (Truth Social was just a diversion, created to fool the enemy) - LOL… If the above thinking is correct, it will be a win-win-win for everyone: - Musk will win $20 Billion (or $30 Billion, or more) - Trump will win: he will have his Free Speech platform (already with a huge audience of 88 Million followers) - and a BIG revenge over his enemies, and over the deranged DemocRats - We Patriots will win, too: if the above thinking is correct, we will have back our Twitter accounts, with all our followers, and with Free Speech (no more censorship, no more shadowbanning, no more suspensions)
I’m so sick of Elon Musk. Whatever he wants to buy explodes in value. He says I’m buying shitcoin and it explodes. Now Twitter and he owned Twitter after he trolled saying he should start his own version. Now he’s on the Board! That just magically happened? This is bullshit
but imagine if Twitter changes completely, and becomes a Free Speech platform... no more censorship, no more suppression of conservatives, and Trump account gets re-instated...
Basically it will be no more the old Twitter, it will be a totally new Free Speech platform with just the functionalities intact - and the brand name. I want to see what happens, what Elon Musk does. I want to see if he reinstates Trump account, and what happens next.
Making a dime for the evil people at Twit is disturbing. Millions have gone thru hell fighting for freedoms, Constitution and our own successes. It is sickening to be a pawn in Musk, Trump elitism games. Absolutely makes me vomit to see us continuing to lose and our standard of living dissolving while it’s fun time reinstating what should be demolished. No I don’t think it is cool to reinstate Trump or millions others. It would be best to shut the entire company down. Suffer fair consequences for 2+ years of planned corruption and silencing. For what- to change again on a dime and we are worse than we were. DON’T be so EASY & FORGETFUL.
Greg, what do you think of the announcement that they aren’t planning to reinstate Trumps Twitter account? You gotta think they can figure out and resolve the Truth Social technical issues. I mean if Gettr could do it, so can TS right? I have to believe Trumps pride will make him want to ELIMINATE and DESTROY Twitter eventually and replace it. Is Musk a “good guy” with his Neurolink project and Transhumanism tendencies? I’m on the fence with him.
2) about GETTR: I've been on GETTR since Day 1 (July 2021). GETTR is disgusting: it is just a pulpit for "celebrities", TV people and RINO politicians.
And we True Patriots, our posts are almost invisible. Next to zero engagement rate.
Jason Miller is an idiot. With the algorithms, he gives visibility only to the posts of those "celebrities". The "home" feed is a disaster.
I had 164,000 followers on Twitter, and 72 million impressions in 28 days (all in spite of the censorship).
And in spite of the censorship, on Twitter I had x1,000 times higher "engagement rate" than on GETTR.
So: GETTR is a complete failure (and no DM's - after 9 months!!)
1) Elon Musk is a strong Free Speech advocate. This is Fact. (I don't like Elon Musk, but...)
I'm certain that Musk will completely change all the leadership/exec structure of Twitter. So, whatever the current execs say is moot, because they are all lame ducks. All the alternatives to Twitter have been total disasters: from Parler, to Gab, GETTR and Truth Social.
I know for a fact that Trump himself is furious with the executives of Truth Social (the fact that he never tweeted on Truth Social speaks volumes!)
So I believe that Trump and Musk have made a secret agreement, and that Musk will reinstate Trump Twitter account within 3 weeks or so. I think Twitter wlll be completely different from what it has been until now. Yes, it is speculation, of course. We'll see what happens.

I think the network effect of Twitter and the inability to displace it requires an insurgency campaign to take it over and then a full blow Purge of the censorious fascist/commies that run the place. Yay capitalism.
I also think that society has to run on a basis of trust. Censoring of speech by elite institutions/media/government breeds distrust and resentment. Which is why we now have disorder, confusion, chaos, and strife. Restore trust, and and it will go a long way to restoring a healthy society.
Another way to restore trust would be to get rid of electronic voting machines, and use only verifiable paper ballots. Since our overlords won't do this, we can't trust elections. If we can't trust elections, we don't have a democratic Republic anymore; its an Oligarchy.
Musk buys. Trump Acquisition company either buys out Musk or buys into Twitter. Trump could do hostile takeover thru acquisition company? Merger or shareholder lock on corporate behavior. Pipe dream but fun to think about....
interesting thought... Personally, I believe that there has been a secret agreement between Elon Musk and Trump. Elon Musk has a lot of money ($300 Billion, or so), and he is strongly pro-Free Speech. Musk is certainly unhappy of how things are going in the country, with the Biden Cabal. On the other hand, Trump platform Truth Social is a total disaster: there is no Android version yet, nor Web version. I know that Trump is furious about how things are going at Truth Social.
So this is why I think Trump and Elon Musk made a secret agreement. Musk buys Twitter, he transforms Twitter into a Free Speech platform. Musk gets rid of all those communist tyrants of Twitter (execs). - Then, Musk reinstates Trump Twitter account, with his 88 Million followers, and reinstates all our deleted accounts, too.
yes, indeed! Basically the difference is that it's not Trump who puts down his money: Musk does. (and he has already done).
For Musk buying 9.2% of Twitter was just change: $3 Billion. (his net worth is $270 Billion). For me it is obvious that Musk will reinstate Trump Twitter account: it would triple the value of Musk investment - and it would multiply by 6 or 7 if he reinstates also the accounts of the Trump supporters that have been deleted.
It does. Good point. I'm ready to get back in the trenches. They banned my accounts for total nonsense. Musk is sneaky and clever, good attributes for this project.
I don’t like this at all. Everything Elon Musk does moves the market. He first stated he might start his own Twitter like company and all of a sudden reveals that he owns Twitter. Ten days after the move. The SEC requires 20 or 21 days. He makes over 30% growth just for revealing he bought a shit load of twtr. That to me is insider trading and the SEC should investigate. Also Greg, you stated you had info on Musk. He is very volatile. I think this all smells! What do you think?
Hi Gongulent! Yes, I have some dirt on Elon Musk. But in this case he can be a temporary ally.

It would be a New Twitter. Completely new in terms of free speech.
What about Truth Social? Will that go away? My problem is that musk is allowed to just move company stocks along the way. He will automatically make enormous profits (he bought low) after his announcement
He mentioned that he will be launching the website. He also mentioned to stay tuned, maybe even some news on Google play. The only way he does not get on Google play is through collusion with other tech giants to keep them out. When I see fake news and other liberal stations excited about TruthSocial and trumps stock tanking. That makes me raise an eyebrow
Now Elon Musk has 9.2%. And he is on the board. As a matter of fact, Musk now owns Twitter. He will do the same he has done at PayPal and at Tesla (Takeover).
That is a good point. Also, Elon musk has been buying Twitter‘s here since January. Why did he buy Twitter shares? He knew he was going to have to reveal that he bought it sometime later. He also said he doesn’t like Twitter because of their free speech problems. He knew he would make money on this transaction. Also, now he’s on the board. You can only own a little over 14% of a company. I believe he did it just for profit, which makes me realize that no matter what he buys, he will make a fortune. He will be America’s first trillionaire.
Nothing will change—except maybe the addition of an edit button for the corrupt journalists to rewrite their tweets. Trump will not be allowed back on the platform. Musk became a shareholder to access and evaluate Twitter’s AI, algorithms and its impact on social control so he can wrap it into Neurolink.
Fuck Twitter! Don’t go back to an abusive relationship!
I’m so sick of Elon Musk. Whatever he wants to buy explodes in value. He says I’m buying shitcoin and it explodes. Now Twitter and he owned Twitter after he trolled saying he should start his own version. Now he’s on the Board! That just magically happened? This is bullshit

Truth Social is already dead.
I wonder what Trumps going to do about that. Devin Nunes is a good guy. I hope something happens
Devin Nunes is a good guy - as a politician. A true Patriot.
But he has no competence/knowledge in Technology and in Marketing/Communications. He cannot be the CEO of a Tech company.
He mentioned that he will be launching the website. He also mentioned to stay tuned, maybe even some news on Google play. The only way he does not get on Google play is through collusion with other tech giants to keep them out. When I see fake news and other liberal stations excited about TruthSocial and trumps stock tanking. That makes me raise an eyebrow
Greg, owning 9.2% is a far cry from owning a controlling stake. Unless other board members support Musk, he will be outvoted.
The ownership of Twitter is very fragmented. Mostly shares owned by institutional investors.
https://www.marketscreener.com/quote/stock/TWITTER-INC-38965267/company/
Jack Dorsey owns only 2.2% of Twitter shares.
Now Elon Musk has 9.2%. And he is on the board. As a matter of fact, Musk now owns Twitter. He will do the same he has done at PayPal and at Tesla (Takeover).
I was reading about that... Vanguard, Blackrock and other investment funds who are, in turn, made up of myriad other corporations.
That is a good point. Also, Elon musk has been buying Twitter‘s here since January. Why did he buy Twitter shares? He knew he was going to have to reveal that he bought it sometime later. He also said he doesn’t like Twitter because of their free speech problems. He knew he would make money on this transaction. Also, now he’s on the board. You can only own a little over 14% of a company. I believe he did it just for profit, which makes me realize that no matter what he buys, he will make a fortune. He will be America’s first trillionaire.

Musk became a shareholder to access and evaluate Twitter’s AI, algorithms and its impact on social control so he can wrap it into Neurolink.
Our courts are so corrupt that NOTHING will happen to Dorsey. In fact, he won’t even have to worry about going to court.
but Dorsey can be sued to death - for Tens of Billions of dollars.
Dorsey = homeless in San Francisco, begging for pennies from passers-by
Will they bring Jack back? He was a bit of a moderator on the censorship juggernaut...
no way!!
All the old and current executives of Twitter will be kicked out - in a matter of weeks. Jack Dorsey is a criminal. I hope he gets hanged.
Hmm, Interesting. I thought Jack was the one who tried to put the brakes on the censorship. Twitter usually was the last to implement it...
