Why is Twitter trying so hard to prevent Elon Musk from taking it over?

Government agencies were paying twitter to censor accounts. DHS, FBI, CIA etc. They had employees embedded at twitter. Many of these accounts were banned or blocked based on very little evidence of any wrong doing. But just simply speaking out against certain narratives.  

So there is proof of financial transactions from these government agencies giving money to Twitter?

 

Can you show this to me?

 

There were government employees working at twitter?

 

Can you name them?

 

Clearly, you would imagine that Elon Musk would be able to name somebody working at his company being a government employee, right?

 

EDIT:

 

OOOOOOHHH, so it turns out your "government paying Twitter" claim is that the US government agencies asked for records from Twitter, a private company.

 

And a private company has to devote man hours, and therefore, LOSE MONEY in order to fulfill that government records request.

 

And therefore Twitter can bill the government to be reimbursed for its expenses.

 

So.............you just completely lied and provided a false narrative in your claim, correct?

How is that not paying them for the work jehurey?

So you are intentionally trying to play STUPID and KEEP IT VAGUE...............and avoiding explaining the practical nature of that transaction?

 

Do you honestly that will work?

 

So................to reiterate.

 

You intentionally worded your claim to make it sound sinister...........when in fact, we're talking about the concept of the government has to reimburse you for any incurred expenses for handling their requests.

 

...........which isn't remotely scandalous at all.

 

Correct?

This is a weird flex seeing as Twitter was in a far better place before Musk took it over.. You have good timing as Tweetdeck and some other desktop apps that larger accounts use to mange their Twitter pages have seemed to be down all day.

I'm still confused why you keep this edgelord bootlicking when he's the main person constantly talking about the company losing money/going bankrupt. It's like you have Tourette's or something that forces you to say stupid, illogical shit.

[Mr. Impossible 407]

 

lol

[jehurey 3,228]

 

LOL he came groveling to Gavin Newsom.

 

The only people dumber and more pathetic than incElon are the dumbasses in Texas State government, who gave him money and tax breaks so that he could hang out for two years.

What on earth would make you say that? You know it's the exact opposite and Newsom is giving Tesla massive incentives to come back right? Tesla is playing both states against each other. Also it says right there the corporate hq is remaining in Texas . 😅

So a days after twitter is valued at half of what Musk paid for it, he let's us know that the only voices that matter on Twitter are people who pay him a monthly subscription to a site they all used for free previously. Then hours later post his discount code like some slime youtuber or something lol. 

 

Funny how the right continues to cultivate nearly all of the political grifters in the United States.

Do they really feel so threatened by the fact that he might unban Trump and other conservatives to restore a degree of dignity and fairness to the platform? Its sad the lengths they'll go to inhibit free speech.

 

Free speech... If you pay for it.

Not sure why @Mr. Impossible you're acting like Twitter was doing great before Musk. Regardless of it's value now, the company was posting significant yearly losses before Musk took over. 

 

The perceived value of a company isn't everything. All I see is a company that wasn't being profitable before that is now being downsized to reduce losses. Which is about the only sensible thing to do with Twitter in it's bloated and unprofitable form.

Some people would argue that twitter was doing better before him, even as a bloated mess. Success is a weird concept when talking about Twitter but they were making more revenue before he took over, his purchase actually saddled the company with more debt than before, they weren't delinquent on their bills and rent before, the previous ceo wasn't constantly saying twitter is on its deathsbed one minute then begging people pay for subscriptions to keep it alive. 

 

This is even before getting in to all of freedom and the 'dignity' of twitter bullshit as @Twinbladeso cuckingly put it that just became Musk hustling crypto grifters and gaming incels to pay him $8 a month.

I'll take higher profit margin (lower losses) with lower revenue than high revenue and otherwise. 

 

Musk believe he can run a more neutral public square. Nothing wrong with that intent from where I stand. I personally don't care but it's fun to see the Twitter files add to the arsenal of the GOP. Lmao.

What profit margin? Twitter's main source of money was in ad buys that have been drying up when he took over, there are not enough users to make Twitter Blue profitable. 

 

Musk doesn't want a neutral public square, He wants a food fight. It's a fifty year old man trying to impress antisocial teenagers in the most divorced cringe way possible. He's the type of guy who tells strangers that his girlfriend makes him miserable and shit and only sees the world from his personal point of view 

 

Yeah, the twitter files was like that time he showed off a robot that was just some dude in spandex. In the interest of transparency he hand picks two journalist and gives them a narrative to follow. And then is like "tada, trust twitter the most." while the motherfucker who runs the place is constantly posting fake news himself.
