Lmao
bring back Dorsey and turn it into a crypto promotion tool
I hope and expect that this is a message to political hacks in BIG Tech companies and hostile fake news media (like CNN) that they do not reign supreme. They will fail as FREEDOM OF SPEECH and truly tolerant companies rise to the occasion.
11th comment
Can’t wait for all the woke liberals that can’t tell the difference between a man and a woman to move to Canada
hmmm… i like it very much… everything he said makes sense, very analytical… no political bs…
Thanks. I appreciate it!
About time we bring back free speech, good job Elon 👍
And it only cost $44 billion, what a deal.
Elon is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable people on the planet.
hell no, he doesn’t give an a damn about others and is about to get exposed in the johnny depp case
I totally agree
@Goated At NFS Can you explain more? or a video?
Great
*Right-wing people banned from Twitter
Leftists: _”Didn’t you defend the free market? Twitter is a private company, they have their own rules, it’s only censorship if it’s done by the government, go make your own competitor to Twitter.”_ *Repeats 1000x
Elon Musk: _”Done better, I bought Twitter, now it is having freedom of speech.”_
Leftists: _”No, we can’t allow that, freedom of speech needs limits, let’s call the government authorities to delete those posts full of hate speech, fake news and attacks to democracy, we may even need to shut down Twitter.”_
Misinformation, by who’s standards
Not to worry Democrats. You will still have Facebook and the liberal fake news media to help you try and cheat to win elections. But just a thought. What if Elon has enough moolah left over to buy Facebook also. Then he can kick the liberal fake news media off of both Twitter and Facebook.
Fire all of the moderators and anyone else responsible for censorship at Twitter.
He will. They’re Ideologues. They’ll fight his vision every step of the way. He has no choice.
Twitter subscriptions for doge? Let’s do it lol
Smart guest, dumb host
This guy gets it
Thanks!
Thanks!
Yahoo could make a comeback if you keep this up. Stay neutral, just report the facts.
Yahoo can’t recover from its years of bias. Yahoo is still trying to convince us that obesity is both healthy and beautiful.
Ef you!!! mis-Information is part of free speech, you goat!! If you don’t like it go somewhere else. The biggest distributors of misinformation on social media are the legacy media.
This guy gains more respect from me everyday, to the point he’s now basically an idol, props to this wonderful man
same
@Falcon I could not agree more. Finally!!
Here come the kooks.
There goes the freaks…
Facebook next? how about Disney/ABC/ESPN???
You Tube ?
Are you referring to the orange ogre? Lol
@Count Or lock nobody mentioned Michelle Obama.
“…that has been banned for misinformation”. Ironically, a lot of the “misinformation” ppl got banned for turned out to be the truth. And a lot of what was told us to be the truth has turned out to be actual misinformation !
Elon musk saving the world a day at a time truly the greatest business man ever
“Saving the world” bruh with what? He bought a social media platform, he ain’t cured cancer.
@Liam he’s still changing the worlds through many different innovations
Thank all the Democrats that bought a Tesla. Elon spent your money wisely👍🇺🇸
That is crazy ahahahah
😀😀😀😀😀😀🙏🙏🙏🙏
Boring company and hyperloop? Lmao. Defund stupidity
Both are trash
lol misinformation= the truth
If he lets Der Trumpster back on Twitter, he will have missed the whole point of Trumspter’s Treason!
He didn’t nothing. Get ready for the sequel baby
Thank you Musk. Twitter has now been freed from the anchor of the left wing commie pig censorship. It will be interesting to observe what Musk has learned about the on going right wing censorship that has existed for years at this commie pig organization.
FREEDOM WINS!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✌️
I am getting a good idea of who the Antichrist and false prophet are.
Freedom of speech ain’t free, now is it?
Yup! Go Elon and free speech!
For all those who don’t like this I suggest shaking your fists at the sky and yelling at someone who cares!
Ohh baby cmon yes Elon musk rolling through with that big D$&@ Energy 🤣🇺🇸
Huge
Who is this guy? He’s won me over.
1) sells billions of Tesla shares to ‘ pay taxes’
2) buys 7.5% of twitter worth billions
3) does not declare buying the stock in timeline with legal/ ethical practices
4) says he will be a passive investor
5) says he will not be a passive member – but an active investor on the board
6) sends a ‘ best and final’ offer
Yet the ‘Musk’eteers can’t see the unethical business man who’s company only sells cars in developed countries , sends a rocket which does nothing for humanity , insisted to keep factories open in the middle of a peak of scary pandemic and brought a payment solution which now trades at super Low valuations – a scamsters favourite
The new president of the USA.
says a finance guy about money. what a shocker
Elon Musk didn’t buy the building at “distressed prices”. He overpaid bro.
You did not get it xD. Re watch that part maybe.
Perhaps at current prices, but not at what it was worth only a year ago.
Hurrah ! The war against the far-left fascist censorship has begun ! GO ELON.. buy google, facebook, disney and warner bros.. and set the world free again !!
If he could buy Google next the world would be a better place
And Facebook
Ohhh soo now it’s the best thing that Elon bought Twitter?🤣🤣🤣🤣 2 days ago Yahoo stated is was a danger to democracy if Elon bought Twitter.
feels so ironic to get this story about Musk buying a derelict company like Twitter ……. from Yahoo.
Worst thing that ever happened to Twitter
MUSK IS A FRAUD
Gagaga
😭
Bawaaa,Bwaaaa
MUSK TOOK CONTROL OF TWITTER OF WHICH TRUMP AND KKKORRUPT REPUBLICONS USE AS THEIR TOOL AND HE DOES IT AT THE HEIGHT OF RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE IN OUR ELECTIONS THAT IS NOT AN INNOCENT INTENT! SHAME ON YOU
Joe Biden will never allow this 😂🤣😭
Free speech is back.
Misinformation …. Hahaha, where is yahoo finance finding this people?
I guess we will see.
Reinstate alex jones and trump! Treat it like a phone company. Freedom of speech. Freedom of speech doesnt make people unsafe.
Still overpaid for a losing company that makes no money and is universally criticized.
That’s what Laxmi Mittal did when he bought distressed steel companies in Europe. And he successfully built an empire out of them.
DEPLORABLES ASSEMBLE
Tommorow we attack Twitter!!!
TAKE NO PRISONERS!!!⚠️
What is the big fuss about this man buying twitter? I just hope he doesn’t bring back Trump into the platform or turn it into a platform for disinformation or worse yet, turn it into a pay per use platform.
00:35 “twitter had become an abandoned building with graffiti in a bad neighborhood”.
Poetic and philosophical
Expect a mass exodus of neo liberals…
Free speech also must be monitored its dignity n integrity to produce results decency
Putin would NEVER have invaded Ukraine if Trump was President….
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌟🌟🌟🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌟🌟🌟🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Trump is a LIVING GOD..🕇🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 and King
of America..👑..he should be on Mount Rushmore as one of our GREATEST Presidents next to Lincoln..Trump is ALMIGHTY GOD in Human Form and has changed the WORLD…🕇🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Elon is Americas GREATEST man after Donald Trump…..😍🇺🇸
Can the board members go out and start another social platform?
Lol
no.
Twitter the marketing arm of Tesla? Only insofar as it links to YOUTUBE videos.
Totally agree
So the orange ape is in the 10% extreme right, not getting back on Twitter, i hope…
Twitter is a big marketing machine for Tesla? Um.. Elon doesn’t believe in marketing. Tesla doesn’t spend money on marketing.
Elon is an amazing man! Hoping he makes Twitter great again 😆
i know u joking but all good jokes have a sense of truth
Assuming twitter was ever good lol
Let me get this straight:
The new private company will have an open algorithm.
Where the old public company had a “secret” algorithm.
Is this making sense?
Much like a democracy vs dictatorship at least you know what you’re getting with a dictatorship
“Everyone wants to work for Elon Musk:
you sure bud?
Not snowflakes
If I want to write the sky is purple not blue I should be able too regardless if it’s true or not
The announcer clown “Dave”…
😩😩,,, Mr. Musk,, he made again😁👍
It doesn’t matter what white, red hair said or demo- deeps human trashes said too from soon,, 🥱🤣🥱🥱🥱
New TWTR will be exposed everything, anything, everywhere around the 🌏 now on..😁🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
ugh no, please not the influencers
Intense Tom
A moment of silence for those who think a corporate billionaire would actually do anything for free speech 💀
yea its as if people dont realize billionaires dont get that way by looking out for people LOL
Free speech is the entire reason he’s buying the company, that’s been very clear from the start, he believes in free speech so much he didn’t even censor Putin on Starlink. Elon Musk got to be a billionaire because he’s created tremendous value for society through the innovative companies and products he has created that have positively impacted the lives of many many people, and as a result shares he owns in those companies have become valuable. He is an outstanding manager of capital. I’ve been listening to Elon Musk talk for years, he deeply cares about human civilization and is not motivated by money, he is motivated by making a positive impact in the world.
A moment of silence for those that categorize people into rich and poor rather than good and bad.
Awesome, Yeah Elon Musk, We’re on the right track Now… I will follow…
Good bye Facebook!
Money talks
Free speech is back thanks god, good riddance..
Woke Snowflakes are getting melt knowing that their garbage bunker has been exposed..
Conservative are smarter than woke liberals..
Congratulations and all the best ❤️
Heads at twitter are going to fall. It aint gona be pretty the first 1, 2 years there.
elon works better behind the scenes and knows how to hire and not micromanage
tesla is down 2 percent because the reee libs selling off and ironically they all drive tesla cars and are pro “green new deal”
If you could and I’m sure you will make ever company you own strategize with optimum existence..
actual proper level-headed reporting. a stark contrast to the paranoid and emotional speculation of dogshit like MSNBC
Jan P. stated that Biden was concerned about big tech having too much power after hearing Elon Musk purchased twitter. My question is this. Why wasn’t biden worried when big tech had so much power back when they went after Donald Trump and silenced him, then banned him? Where were the concerns the objections from the democrats to big tech having so much power when they SILENCED A SITTING PRESIDENT? Why all of a sudden the big change. Seriously, why all of a sudden is he so worried about big tech and their power. Is it because people might actually go after him now and they won’t be attacked, fact checked, banned? Freedom of speech is an eye opener to what is really going on when the gag is removed
Twitter temporarily suspended a New Zealand professor after she mocked the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party and President Xi Jingping
There is nothing but upside here. Twitter has devolved into a uni-opinion echo chamber of leftist propaganda.
2:02 You wouldn’t get it, you would never get it, but the happiest thing is probably you’ll never will because you don’t have to anymore. Now, it is finally over. :,)
Elon, it’s time to buy Netflix and make it a better place.
Bring back The real president Trump
Fire the CEO and all liberandus snowflakes
Neutral reporting. Fantastic!
NEUTRAL!? This was nothing but cheerleading and booklicking!
@D Z licking books? wt? I guess you prefer Joy Reid’s take on the whole issue huh? hehehe delicious salt.
