Elon Musk has bought Twitter and every whining cry baby NPC who can’t handle opinions that do not conform to the received consensus is screaming into the ether.

Practically every blue check lib is vowing to leave for good, just like they vowed to leave the U.S. when Trump was elected but never did.
Let’s take a look!
Warning: Extreme salt content
One good thing about Elon buying twitter is that I will *FINALLY* leave and stop being a complete menace to society on here. So it’s win win for you all really. ?

I didn’t think this day could get much better, but it appears Shaun King has deactivated or deleted his Twitter account. pic.twitter.com/R1ci1eSRYW

Shaun King apparently deleted his Twitter. I guess he won’t be using the platform to falsely accuse guys of murdering children before they commit suicide anymore https://t.co/IYHMq9wceD

I still fear that having Elon Musk take over Twitter is bad for democracy, as I argued, but I fervently hope he proves me wrong. He can do some good if he cleans out the bots and fine-tunes, rather than jettisons, the content moderation policies. https://t.co/NyDMBSu5TX

If he really thinks he can create that same toxic, high school bully, 80s South Africa world here and somehow monetize that, he should maybe stick to sending compensatory technology to "near space" for his fellow men with more money and time on their hands than interesting ideas.

Elon Musk is from South Africa, so that means he loves white nationalism. Yeah, OK. Just like every German is a Nazi. Good logic. Now cry some more.
Elon musk buying Twitter is a dream come true for white nationalists. After all musk is from the former apartheid country of South Africa which the white supremacists idolize.

Wonder if Elon musk will copy the apartheid rules of his home country South Africa and give us check marks based on our skin color? The whiter the check mark the more rights you have on Twitter. #AskingForAFriend

I still think Elon Musk owning Twitter is a bad idea. He will amplify racists, bigots, and misinformation. He is a bad-faith actor with his distorted views of free speech and censorship.

I hope you won't become a platform for spreading misinformation as that's not what free speech means.

When an oligarch buys a communication platform to distribute rightwing propaganda that's not democracy.

So if/when Elon Musk takes control of Twitter and turns it into a malevolent mouthpiece, where should Democrats and Progressives go for free speech on social media? An existing site or do we start our own? pic.twitter.com/XmHYBowTeQ

Other than being filled with death threats, racial slurs, and fake recipes for play-doh that actually produce napalm, the sites are simply unusable from a basic user experience level.

Admins get bored of running a hellsite filled with garbage and let the bad stuff dominate.
Stelter on Elon Musk buying Twitter: "If you get invited to something where there are no rules, where there is total freedom for everybody, do you actually want to go to that party or are you going to decide to stay home?" pic.twitter.com/rhSmF04OUk

Laura Gómez, former head of localization for Twitter, says @elonmusk owning Twitter is one of the greatest threats to American elections. In 2020, Twitter was one of the platforms that censored reporting that was damaging to candidate Biden. #ElonMusk #ElonMuskBuyTwitter pic.twitter.com/SB650uJ39g

Twitter employees lost their shit over the fact they won’t be able to control what the world sees and hears any longer:
Its “absolutely insane” @ Twitter right now in the virtual valves of private slack rooms & employee group texts, according to an internal source. Their take/breakdown just now:
— talmon joseph smith (@talmonsmith) April 25, 2022
“I feel like im going to throw up..I rly don’t wanna work for a company that is owned by Elon Musk”…1/
The employee continued re Elon: 3/“ I feel like he’s this petulant little boy and that he’s doing this to troll…he doesn’t know anything about our policies and what we do…his statement about our algo was fucking insane…
— talmon joseph smith (@talmonsmith) April 25, 2022
“Were just gonna let everyone run amok?…nobody knows”
I don't know what Twitter the platform or Twitter the workplace is going to look like going forward, but right now, it feels like maybe some things are just too good, too magical to last. Only time will tell.

Twitter has locked down product changes to the site, keeping employees who may be miffed about the Elon Musk deal from “going rogue” https://t.co/wKiYWyXGPq via @KurtWagner8 @EdLudlow

When oligarchs talk about freedom, beware.
— Robert Reich (@RBReich) April 25, 2022
For Jeff Bezos, it means his freedom to set prices.
For Jamie Dimon, it means his freedom to consolidate the banking industry.
For Elon Musk, it means his freedom to set the terms of political debate.
Don't get it confused.
So, 200 million of us just send our complaints/issues to Elon Musk every day now? Such a relief to have one person to deal with for all that.
— Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) April 25, 2022
If Elon Musk really cares about freedom, he should spend his $46 billion helping Ukraine defeat Putin and Russia, rather than buying Twitter.

Elon Musk is such a big believer in democracy that he’s seized a communications platform and intends to reshape it according to his personal whims.

What you’ve just read is only the tip of the saltberg.
I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means
