He imagines that non-Trumpists hate Musk for buying Twitter because that's what Fox told him to think. He imagines that there are sinister communist plots around every corner and under every bed because that's what Fox told him to think. And he acts on these imagined things.

In some ways, it's like a child walking through the woods so rife with magical thinking he can imagine as real a tree fortress of elves ahead, and the forces of evil down that shady creek. So too does the child try to climb trees to find the elves. Perhaps the child "finds" them and leads them to the creek, where he carefully edges his way around the dangers, finally defeating the Chief Evil in a dreadful battle.

Except the Chief Evil was a rotted log and the child split it apart with a more freshly-fallen stick, then covered it with mud. That is what actually happened in reality. Grandpappy? He owns the libs on DP by posting these derpy threads; it's his part in the war on the forces of evil.... who are just kinda laughing at all this commies crap.

Do you think Elon is also lost in fantasy?
 
Liberals used to be strong proponents of free speech. Now, not so much. Do you see the effects of gaslighting? Such a good example.
 
Elon Musk is a visionary and has some good insight about most things. If he says there is something the public needs to know, I am sure there is.

I await his findings with great interest.

Yes, Elon Musk is The super hero for free speech. Why, I heard you can even impersonate Elon Musk on twitter and absolutely nothing will happen. Free speech and all. You should try it. ;)

Does "free speech" depend on being able to post on twitter?

Oooo.... We eagerly await.. What earth shattering findings do you think he will show us?
 
So what is Musk's imagined attack on free speech, exactly?

You don't think Trumpists are play-acting like little kids with this Musk vs. Liberals fantasy and Commies Everywhere! crap?

He sure was when he decided to offer 44 billion for Twitter and waive due diligence. But we're not talking about Musk. But we're talking about your absurdist play-acting, not your dumbass interjections that are always designed to evade and deflect.

It's true: you should never let your inner child die completely. But there is a line . . .

I have to say I'm gaining more respect for Elon Musk.
The Biden administration, big tech and the legacy media seem to be attempting to gaslight the American public.
This is really bad news. This isn't communist China.....yet.

There’s no rational argument in support of social media platforms allowing the unchecked deliberate spread of harmful mis/disinformation.

Right-wingers have themselves botched the Hunter laptop story six ways to Sunday by ignoring a little something called chain of custody. They have their own absolute stupidity to blame.

Sorry if it was unclear but I agree, and it was hilarious.
