The @AP has published (yet another) “hit-piece” on @elonmusk, attempting to spread widespread fear of imminent bullying if/when the Twitter deal closes… 🐦
See below how this article falls short of @AP’s mission to discredit… 🪡 👇🏻 1/9
We all know the #JRE clip, and we all know the context (Must having said he’s never smoked before…) 💨
The obsession with left-leaning fear-mongers of calling @elonmusk a “pot smoker” is laughable. 🤡
Meanwhile, the democratic fights to legalize cannabis nationwide… 2/9
The @AP quotes an opinion from a solitary anonymous investment firm that thinks the @Twitter takeover is “comical and surreal”. 🥁
Using quotes from nameless entities serves to enrich the @AP’s narrative while providing absolutely zero real-world value to the reader… 3/9
Having the ability, no less the “confidence”, to change one’s mind is possibly THE MOST critical aspect of healing today’s society. ❤️🩹
While the @AP frames this as a detrimental quality, the reality is that truth shall prevail over #MSM disinformation and FUD… 4/9
The @AP finds time to acknowledge that @elonmusk has repeatedly stated he will observe laws and regulations to curb hate speech. 📣
Yet the @AP’s inherent bias is revealed when they try to rally those afflicted by #TDS, despite @jack’s agreement with Musk’s statement… 5/9
Leave it to the liberal media to cast doubt over @elonmusk’s leadership and abilities after he “acknowledged vulnerabilities”, including his own disability of #Asperger’s 🧩
This is remarkably tone-deaf, coming from an un-self-aware and supposedly “tolerant” outlet… 6/9

Less gov’t oversight is better…
Not more… 8/9
And finally, @AP shows it’s hand on how the #TolerantLeft plans to fight back against @elonmusk’s bid on free speech 🗣
Naming companies like @Apple and @Google to do the dirty work of de-platforming those they disagree with, all in the name of preserving accessibility… 9/9
Thankfully @AP has no pull in the @Twitter deal, and it’s very likely to happen soon 💸
.@elonmusk accused of cheating his way into “saving $143 million by not reporting his stake” in @Twitter sooner.
$143M is only 0.325% of the total value of the deal, $44B 🛒
Even if #SEC fines the same as last time ($20M), the vote by @Twitter’s board was unanimous. 🪡 👇🏻 1/3
With a $20M fine (likely will be dropped altogether, if not drastically lower fine will be issued) we are still only talking about 0.37% of the total transaction 🧮
*To help those bad at math:
This is LESS THAN 1%… roughly a third
