If Elon gets control of Twitter, the biggest losers *might* be the FBI, CIA, and NSA.

The fact that journalists are so opposed to Elon Musk buying Twitter because it would promote free speech and challenge Democrat establishment talking points is everything you need to know about the media today.

Yesterday was a flagship day in corporate media. It was the day they were forced to explicitly state what has long been clear: they not only favor censorship but desperately crave and depend on it.

Even if Musk doesn't buy Twitter, never forget what yesterday revealed.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Elon Musk would eliminate salaries for Twitter's board if buyout succeeds
Musk says salaries for the current board cost $3 million

    By Anders Hagstrom FOXBusiness

Billionaire Elon Musk would cut the salaries of Twitter's board of directors to zero if his ongoing attempt to purchase the company succeeds, Musk announced Monday.

Musk offered to purchase Twitter and take it private for $54.20 last week, and Twitter's board is working to fight off the buyout. Board members currently make between $200,000 and $300,000 salaries, equating to an annual cost of roughly $3 million for the company.

"Board salary will be $0 if my bid succeeds, so that’s ~$3M/year saved right there," Musk tweeted.

Either love Musk or hate him, but he's certainly shined a spotlight on the lack of freedom of speech.
