It's hard to overstate what Elon Musk has been bringing to Twitter so far.
Just as important as the pushback against censorship, the radical left created the illusion their extreme views were 'mainstream' & conservative views are 'extreme.'
Also, just watched an interview with Elon Musk. He says basically that we don't need YouTube either, so content creators will be able to monetize videos and podcasts. Let's just say as a content creator that makes me thrilled. YouTube can start to panic now.
Obviously, this will take a lot of work to overhaul the format and layout, but I'm excited to see what Musk can do.
YouTube and Facebook are trash when it comes to videos. We desperately need a rival for both freedom of speech and for honesty with the advertising.
I love Rumble, by the way. They were out on the forefront of all this and definitely a key part of this digital battleground space.
It's been eye-opening to see my engagement skyrocket after the Woke babies stopped rigging the platform.
I know personally that they were suppressing accounts before the Musk takeover and 'pause.'

Human rights activists and civil rights attorneys: You should be ashamed of yourself for your silence in the face of the open attack on Americans' rights.
If you are not condemning the Democratic Party's authoritarian tactics, you are a betrayer of the American people.
The Covid pandemic was the most brazen attack on civil rights in generations and where was your 'civil rights' movement then? Nowhere to be found.
You're frauds and hypocrites. Truly worthless people who fold when everything is on the line.
No one has any respect left for you.
Not a single one of you phonies marched for 'civil rights' when small business owners were getting their dreams crushed. Or when people couldn't visit dying loved ones. Or when kids were kept out of schools and forced to wear dehumanizing masks for no legitimate reason. Pathetic.
Back to basics: Freedom, opportunity and the American Dream for all
We need to emphasize EQUALITY. Elites don't get to rig the game for themselves and make different rules for the rest of America. Revolutions have been fought over this.
This just in: Nike is suspending its relationship with Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving for saying things Nick Cannon, Lebron James and Charlamagne tha God have said but made the mistake of not being an outspoken Democrat supporter
"You have the right to say what you think, share information & demand a better world. You also have the right to agree or disagree with those in power, and to express these opinions..."
That's Amnesty International. Did Twitter's now-fired 'human rights' team ever hear of them?
"Exercising these rights – without fear or unlawful interference – is central to living in an open and fair society; one in which people can access justice and enjoy their human rights..."
"Yet governments around the world routinely imprison people – or worse – for speaking out, even though almost every country’s constitution refers to the value of ‘free speech’"...
In grad school, I conducted a negative binomial regression on free speech & terrorism, based in part A.O. Hirschman's theory of Exit, Loyalty & Voice. The thesis was that free speech has a tendency to lower the tendency for political violence. There was an inverse correlation...
...but due to database limitations, not statistically significant. However, the theory is still important to understanding how free speech provides citizens with a means for expression of grievances short of political violence.
I am in favor of bringing back public floggings for parents who are still sending their healthy kids to school in masks. It’s time.
I am not going to regurgitate the science that shows these masks are absolutely worthless. When CNN’s chief Covidmonger Dr. Leana Wen calls them ‘facial decorations’ and Pfizer board member Scott Gottlieb admitted they’re useless against airborne pathogens, this is beyond over.
The big issue is that they are worse than useless — they are harming kids’ mental health. Why a parent would send a kid to school with his or her face covered or not remedy the misperception with 5 minutes of actual research is beyond me. But the harm it’s doing is criminal.
