Elon Musk reacted to the vocal proponents of censorship on Twitter after sealing the deal to purchase the company as well as what some may interpret as taking a jab in response to the performance of former President Donald J. Trump’s rival platform.

With it still unknown whether Musk will allow Trump to return to Twitter for the first time since he was permanently suspended after the January 6, 2021 chaos at the U.S. Capitol, a move that was also taken by all other major tech companies, many leftists are assuming the worst, steeling their resolve to undermine the Tesla/SpaceX CEO, including the White House which has already suggested that “reforms” could soon be coming.

On Monday, Trump denied that he had any interest in returning to Twitter, saying instead that he was focused on his own platform.

“I am not going on Twitter, I am going to stay on TRUTH,” Trump told Fox News. “I hope Elon buys Twitter because he’ll make improvements to it and he is a good man, but I am going to be staying on TRUTH.”

Trump also released a statement through his Save America PAC showing an image of the top social media apps on Apple along with the message that “Truth Social is number ONE in the Apple App Store!”

Following Trump’s remarks, Musk cryptically posted the App Store image, writing “Truth Social is currently beating Twitter & TikTok on the Apple Store.”

Efforts are already underway to have Truth Social deep-sixed with the left-wing group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) sending a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook last week demanding that Trump’s platform be removed from the App Store, claiming that such a move was justified due to his “history of undermining democracy and promoting violent extremism, his prior abuse of social media platforms to do so, and his apparent desire to continue doing so through the recently launched Truth Social platform,”

Musk also remarked on the leftist temper tantrum that has erupted since the Twitter board accepted his $44 billion bid which set off volcanic ravings from Democrat politicians and celebrities as well as fears that Twitter employees would sabotage the platform, leading to the company locking down its source code to prevent unauthorized changes by disgruntled “woke” employees.

“The extreme antibody reaction from those who fear free speech says it all,” tweeted Musk.

Musk provided some clarity to his defense of free speech.

“By “free speech”, I simply mean that which matches the law,” he tweeted. “I am against censorship that goes far beyond the law.”

“If people want less free speech, they will ask government to pass laws to that effect,” he added. “Therefore, going beyond the law is contrary to the will of the people.”

The ongoing hissy fit over the political left’s loss of their ability to censor their political adversaries is getting more unhinged by the day and, as could be expected, many are saying that it’s all about racism.

Sunny Hostin of “The View” declared that Musk’s takeover of Twitter was all about the free speech of straight white men who, she implied, have no such right.

Rob Reiner who played Archie Bunker’s pinko son-in-law Mike “Meathead” Stivic on the iconic sitcom “All In The Family” spewed his usual conspiratorial nonsense.

“Now that Elon Musk is buying Twitter, the question for all of us is: Will he allow a Criminal who used this platform to lie and spread disinformation to try to overthrow the US Government to return and continue his Criminal activity? And if he does, how do we combat it?” Reiner wrote.

Democrat lawmakers also railed against Musk’s desire to return free speech to Twitter.

“He makes a great car and rocket,” said Rep. Adam Schiff. “But I’m concerned his personal views will stop the fight against disinformation on social media.”

“The problem on Twitter hasn’t been too much content moderation – it’s too much hate,” the impeachment veteran tweeted as he made his case for continued censorship.

Senator Elizabeth Warren called for government intervention to protect “our democracy,” which translates into saving the censorship regime.

“This deal is dangerous for our democracy,” sniped Warren. “Billionaires like Elon Musk play by a different set of rules than everyone else, accumulating power for their own gain. We need a wealth tax and strong rules to hold Big Tech accountable,”

Much is still unknown with Musk’s takeover of Twitter. In addition to the possible lifting of Trump’s ban, there are also questions on how far changes will go but one thing is for sure, those who have contempt for American principles like free speech will be relentless in their efforts to maintain total control over the official narrative.

  1. SO, BPR, when do you plan on at least blocking spam?

    I figure you actually PLANNED the “bug” where we can’t use certain letters without triggering videos we don’t want to watch, but the SPAM is ridiculous.

    Since we users can no longer interact here as we once did, I think we should all consider going to Twitter. Their new owner doesn’t want to censor INTERACTIVE SPEECH like BPR!

  2. Seems odd that the dems weren’t thinking about making “new rules” when the Twitter format was clamping down on anything and everything conservatives were talking about. Now they want it shut down because they (dems) see Twitter as an outlet for Republican disinformation and “a threat to our democracy!”. And I see that “Meathead” is making the rounds with his scares and dares about President Trump, AGAIN. “Quick! Run for cover! The sky is falling! The sky is falling!!! OOOOOOH! What shall we ever do?!!!

    Twitter was the demonrats’ playground where they could post anything they wanted without any fear of being held accountable. They refused to allow talk of Hunter’s exploits before his daddy was placed in office (not elected). They refused to allow talk of COVID vaccine drawbacks and what the side effects were. They refused to allow a lot of things that pertained to the safety of the American citizens. I’m interested in seeing how Mr. Musk sets up the “NEW” Twitter to handle the disinformation that the dems have been dishing out. I have great respect for Elon Musk doing what he is doing. He’s not doing it for the money. He’s not doing it for glory or prestige. He’s doing it because he feels it’s the right thing to do. That’s good enough for this senior citizen.

    1. It is a sorry state when we have to rely on a naturalized citizen to show American politicians what true Constitutional Rights really are.

  3. The View’s Sunny Hostin is a vacuous, misandrist, racist….that much is clear even at a casual glance at her history of statements.

  4. Warren- Soros – Reiner – Schiff . The Woke is Soked you just went down the drain .

  5. “This deal is dangerous for our democracy,” sniped Warren. “Billionaires like Elon Musk play by a different set of rules than everyone else, accumulating power for their own gain. ” That is strange. Musk employees people and became a billionaire by running businesses. People, like Warren, somehow become millionaires while in Congress and not employing anyone themselves. Seems to me like they are the ones concerned with accumulating power and money for just themselves.

    1. Notice how Mark Suckerberg, Jerk Bezos, Bill-them Gates and the rest of the radicals don’t matter when THEY own monopolies?

      Maybe they SHOULD worry. Inflation is so bad now, I’m pretty sure Suckerberg won’t be able to buy the next election like he did the last one.

  6. Things are upside down when infiltrated Communists claim that American Patriots are “destroying Democracy!”
    First, understand…THEIR Democracy is not what you think. And, Democrats have continuously denied the FACT that the United States is a Constitutional Republic…not a democracy!
    It’s projection at it’s finest! Those sent to destroy America are accusing Christian Patriots of DOING THEIR JOB FOR THEM!
    Can it get any more bizarre?
    Probably…yes.

  7. hey Warren, Soros is more dangerous to our republic. BTW, we are not a democracy. Democracy is majority rule or mob rule.

  8. Rob Reiner is a disgusting excuse for a human being. You want to talk about criminals why don’t you take a good hard look at the party of criminals you support? President Trump cares about this country and the people who keep it running; the taxpayers He doesn’t steal from them or make back room deals. Clinton, Biden, Obama, Pelosi, Waters, Schumer…..just how did they get the money they have on their government salaries? You are a meat head.

  9. CREW = MMFA = OSF = DNC
    Keyword: ‘Our democracy’ means fasc st political power stranglehold on the USA of the ‘DemocRat(ick!) Party operatives.
    With the funding from billionaires that know the DNC will do what they want… for the $$$.

  10. I fully support African American business owners. It is racist to define Musk by his pigment.

  11. Biden installed a radical leftist in the SEC just in time and they are probing Tesla now. Will they stop it from going private? It’s not to happen until later this year, will they (both Twitter and the SEC) stall it past mid-terms?

  12. Let’s be clear: everything dems are shrieking about is EXACTLY what they’ve been doing for years. F’ing crybabies.

  14. Meathead Reiner should be in meatball prison. Pork balls Reiner is a repulsive communist and is no joke. Our young men, America’s best died, to save us from Reiner and his insanity. How many slaves does Reiner keep down on the plantation today?

  16. Did anyone notice when Fauxhontis Warren said that she was very worried about Bezos’s purchase of the Washington Post? Or when Zuckerberg bought up Instagram acrueing more power? or microsoft bought Snapchat?

    Me neither

    1. No. She was buying up people homes, after the banking crisis she created, and then resold people’s homes at a yuge profit.
