    Elon Musk struck a deal on Monday to buy Twitter for roughly $44 billion, in a victory by the world’s richest man to take over the influential social network frequented by world leaders, celebrities and cultural trendsetters.

    Twitter agreed to sell itself to Mr. Musk for $54.20 a share, a 38 percent premium over the company’s share price this month before he revealed he was the firm’s single largest shareholder. It would be the largest deal to take a company private — something Mr. Musk has said he will do with Twitter — in at least two decades, according to data compiled by Dealogic.

    “Free speech is the bedrock of a functioning democracy, and Twitter is the digital town square where matters vital to the future of humanity are debated,” Mr. Musk said in a statement announcing the deal. “Twitter has tremendous potential — I look forward to working with the company and the community of users to unlock it.”

    The deal, which has been unanimously approved by Twitter’s board, is expected to close this year, subject to a vote of Twitter shareholders and certain regulatory approvals.

    The blockbuster agreement caps what had seemed an improbable attempt by the famously mercurial Mr. Musk, 50, to buy the social media company — and immediately raises questions about what he will do with the platform and how his actions will affect online speech globally.




    If Musk does what he claims he wants to do it will be a big improvement and good for free speech.
     
    Why don't you tell me what he was insinuating then.

    Same sort of energy? He insinuated I was racist. I'm not sure why your mind went to DeSantis. Besides that was only called a don't say gay law by people on the left. It doesn't say anything about don't say gay. That was just dishonest framing by the left similar to the supposed new Jim Crow law in Georgia where it actually expanded voter access and has enhanced voter turnout across all categories.

    I told you exactly what I meant. It' not my fault if you ignore it.
     
    I know exactly what he said. What I've asked multiple times is how is what Musk said antisemitic? Be specific and the weak attempt at linking that shooter with what Musk said by that Atlantic writer is BS. Is any criticism of Isreal or Isrealis antisemitic?

    Why are you so obsessed with Musk? I don't see you complain about Zuckerberg like you do daily with Musk. You can't still be upset that he ruined the left's censorship machine in Twitter right?
    Do you agree with the statement that Musk said was the truth?

    Zuckerberg is an idiot. Musk is an anti-Semitic idiot.
     
    I know if i owned a business and my ads were being in the same screen shot as obvious antisemitic posts by known hate groups, id pull my advertisement too and thank the group that brought it to my attention.
    Just like in the J6 thread, SFL is looking for justification for the hate because he identifies with them
     
    id like to see any Facebook posts by Zuck where he says anything closer to the stuff Moosk does.
    Zuck may be hated, but he's not an idiot and knows better than to stir the pot on his own platform..
    Zuckerberg is an idiot. He screwed around in the run up to 2016. Now, he has changed his tune but that doesn’t take away from what he allowed to happen.
     
    DeSantis: maybe Musk is the victim 😒


    He didn't see the comment in the same way that he didn't see white supremacists gathering to support him.
     
    In the weeks following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, Twitter user @breakingbaht criticized leftists, academics and “minorities” for defending the militant group. But it wasn’t until the user spoke up on behalf of antisemites that he struck a viral chord with X owner Elon Musk.

    The user blamed Jewish communities for bringing antisemitism upon themselves by supporting immigration to the United States, welcoming “hordes of minorities” who don’t like Jews and promoting “hatred against whites.”


    “You have said the actual truth,” Musk responded. Soon, @breakingbaht had gained several thousand new followers — and the antisemitic conspiracy theory that Jews are causing the replacement of White people was ricocheting across the internet once again.

    Antisemitism has long festered online, but the Israel-Gaza war and the loosening of content moderation on X have propelled it to unprecedented levels, coinciding with a dramatic rise in real-world attacks on Jews, according to several monitoring organizations.


    Since Oct. 7, antisemitic content has surged more than 900 percent on X and there have been more than 1,000 incidents of real-world antisemitic attacks, vandalism and harassment in America, according to the Anti-Defamation League — the highest number since the human rights group started counting. (That includes about 200 rallies the group deemed to be at least implicitly supporting Hamas.)……

     
    Like most narcissists Musk thinks everyone else around him is too stupid to function. When he ever thinks about anyone else around him, that is.
     
    Ah yes, let’s throw people in jail because we don’t like what they say….

    i agree..
    but one platform is dying a slow death and the other is upticking..
    one knows how to adapt and the other is has the "I'm above everyone else you can't be touched" attitude.

    Hmmm, doesn’t that AG have better things to do? Wait a minute…no, as a MAGAt he doesn’t. Carry on.

    I can agree with that. Still, I spend little time on FB even though I am admin for my HS class.
