Elon Musk confirms what we already knew about Twitter: The Social Media Giant had a political agenda and wasn’t shy about pursuing it

Ever since Musk made noises about taking over Twitter and allowing it to be a forum for all legal speech, the left has been in a blind panic. Today, Musk confirmed what we all suspected about that panic: It’s not just because the left will face challenges to its worst ideas, but it’s also because Musk will be releasing information proving that Twitter deliberately used its vast power over American communication to affect election outcomes. Yes, for us, that’s a “Duh,” because it was obvious, but it's validating to see our suspicions proven true.

Nobody with a smidgen of awareness could miss the fact that, for years, Twitter has systematically silenced anyone advancing conservative ideas. This approach escalated wildly with COVID when people tried to make the (very good) case that things such as Vitamin D, Zinc, Hydroxychloroquine, and Ivermectin would help contain COVID, making lockdowns, masks, and vaccines unnecessary. Say anything about that, and you were gone.

The big question, of course, was whether Twitter’s censorship was deliberately intended to alter election outcomes. For example, when Hunter’s laptop emerged, showing his sleazy, illegal, and corrupt conduct, and possibly implicating Joe Biden in these scandals, Twitter promptly shut down any laptop references. According to Twitter, this was to prevent alleged misinformation from an unvetted laptop that could be the work of Russian spies.

Twitter’s bias became even more aggressive after January 6, when it banned a sitting president from its platform. It claimed this was punishment for Trump having provoked events on January 6. However, by shutting down Trump’s account, Twitter was also able to hide Trump’s last tweets, urging people to behave respectfully and safely.

Most did so, behaving more peacefully than one sees at leftist rallies. Let’s hope Republicans can reveal those provocateurs in the crowd—a group that may have included people working directly with the FBI—who stirred things up. (See here and here for videos supporting those contentions.)

Did the FBI and CIA 'feed' the commies/totalitarians running Twitter?

Musk needs to purchase Facebook/Meta, Google & Apple too.

But those apples are too big to bite.

Then CBS/ABC/NBC/CNN/MSNBC/PBS/Fox, etc.

Aren’t unreported like kind campaign contributions illegal? Aren’t violations of civil rights (1st Amendment) civilly actionable when the government is involved?
