At this point, I'd be hard pressed to object to Pinochet helicopter rides for leftists. Done with their disgusting, anti-western, anti-American, anti-rational nonsense.

That would be unnecessary if we could get a balanced and fair media.

As for the current BOD…

They have many thousands (millions?) of shares and possibly warrants/rights, etc. They will have to sell them to Musk and be subject to millions in cap gains tax. So fitting for them to pay "their fair share" because Musk forced their hand.


the current board actually owned less than 2% of Twitter if you dont count Jack Dorsey
2% is still a billion worth of stock, at 15% cap gains it's $150 million in tax revenue.

Firing a ton of people right out of the gate for reasons other than insubordination or clearly different visions might not be the best idea. I agree with all of Shapiro's other points but I don't know if Musk wants to appear vindictive which that might appear.
Clean house Baby!!!!! If you're not on board, then find another ship. Should not be difficult. We are being told there are still 11 million job openings out there.
They can get new jobs in green energy.
At Tesla and still work for Elon!

I really hope Mr Musk reads this board to get all the experts of SicEm's advice. I have never controlled a place of over 50 employees but I think Mothra is right about not firing employees that were good workers but varying viewpoints. I valued these type.of employees more than the ones that shared or pretended to share all.my opinions. I ever had reason to consult them but found i learned from those that disagreed with me. This is just a comment. I am sure the new boss knows what he is doing.

I am glad this has happened. I was told many times this couldn't be done as "conservatives" begged for government intervention and socialism.
I have found theres only two ways to go:
Living fast or dying slow.
I dont want to live forever.
But I will live while I'm here.

You sure you are glad? I suspect you're not being completely honest.

Taking away tax-exempt status and creating a level playing field is lack of govt. intervention, just FYI. It's govt. intervention that put the special tax-exempt status in place. Thus, it was actually you who was for special treatment for twitters (i.e. govt. intervention and socialism).

Tim Wise is a fanatical (even genocidal) anti-white bigot.

Not surprised the US military it paying him.

I have no skin in the game. I dont have a ttwitter account and the only tweets I see are those that shooter and some of the others are constantly posting. I am generally against government interfering with privately owned companies and thought the owners of tweet should be allowed to run their business..

Thanks for reading my mind and calling me a liar. You are wrong. I am happy the market won out without having the government tell Tweet owners how to run their company. I know freedom is a difficult concept for some that relish the idea of making everyone conform to their image.

The left isn't worried about getting censored...they're worried about not being able to censor who they disagree with.

They have a major fear that if they don't have complete control of the conversation then American public disagree with them. Deep down they know this is the case.

If you say so.

Interesting you're cool with special tax exempt status for twitter (i.e. govt. intervention and socialism).

A big part of modern Wokeness was creating special categories of people who could not be criticized.

Honestly our Federal civil rights laws already created protected classes of super special people.

This was the next logically step...special social-ethnic-sex groups that could not be socially criticized.

If you are at a university, business, or now even just out in public...you have to be very careful when criticizing a women (or since sex & gender are now malleable) lets say people you perceive as women, racial groups that are non-white, and LGBTQ+ types.

You cannot criticize a woman unless you are a biologist. If you are not a biologist, then you cannot even identify a woman.

The perfect epistemological nature of woke progressive liberalism...you are not safe unless you just shut up and remain silent.

The reason this toxic ideology was created in the first place...to silence its enemies.

ALSO - You cannot criticize a woman unless they are a conservative.

Your exactly right. Try and post an article about the BLM leader who spent millions on real estate / mansions ... Facebook will not allow it ... against "community standards."

They have a right to speak. They just don't have a right to make the unwilling or disinterested listen to them. LOL!
