By banning some of us, Musk is sending a message to everyone else: Comply with the dictator or lose access. #Twitter has become a virtual simulation of authoritarian rule."

But Musk didn’t build Twitter. We, collectively, turned the bird app into a consequential power. If it remains under the control of a man who sees journalists as enemies, we have a moral responsibility to fly the coop.

I got myself banned from Elon Musk’s Twitter. Why you should, too

Next thing you know, it will be against the rules to mention Tesla’s stock price, criticize the Republican Party or link to stories in legitimate news outlets. We can’t enable this.

There is an uneasy link between the original IDW (Weiss Rubin Peterson Douglas Murray etc), the Taibbi Greenwald Tulsi crew, this odious Kim dotcom hacker dude & now w/ Musk. How their msgs on social media seem not only to be in unison but consistent on every word printed.

“@matthew_pines @JohnSerwach @traderttt9 When the intellectual dark web segues from primarily woke-hating fighters against CRT to all-consuming probers of “Laptop-gate” - interesting to look at how/why they formed, who funds them, why their msg is always in lock-step & who benefits https://t.co/bdAoddYGBt”

Let's just keep focusing on Hunter's laptop - Muskovites (Taibbi, Weiss, IDWers) ; just tip of the iceberg for His Orangeness.
