Elon Bought Twitter, But the Musk of Censorship Remains
After Elon Musk announced his plans to buy twitter and restore free speech to the platform, the left melted down and Republicans quickly celebrated Musk as a new hero. But since closing the deal and officially taking over, has Musk restored free speech to twitter?
A number of prominent, previously banned accounts have been restored; none more noticeable than that of former President Donald J. Trump. But another account, belonging to another man as reviled by the left as Trump, has noticeably not been restored: Alex Jones. Elon Musk has defended his decision not to reinstate Jones’ account by claiming that he “[has] no mercy for anyone who would use the deaths of children for gain, politics, or fame.”
Musk is referring to Alex Jones’ infamous claims that the 2012 mass shooting at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut was a hoax; fabricated by Democrats to justify their efforts to confiscate Americans’ guns. But if Musk has “no mercy” for those, who exploit the deaths of children for personal and political gain or fame, then he also shouldn’t have mercy for any Democrat, who routinely exploits the deaths of innocent Americans for the same alleged purpose.
If Musk has no mercy for Jones, he shouldn’t have any mercy for Alexandria Ocasio Cortex, Nancy Pelosi, or any other Democrat, who has used the most recent mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Colorado, to falsely and dangerously blame Republicans for the tragedy.
Ocasio Cortez blamed Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. “You have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws,” saidOcasio-Cortez.
Former Democrat majority leader Pelosi blamed MAGA Republicans for the attack. “Right-wing extremists target transgender Americans' most fundamental rights and freedoms,” Pelosi said. “Whether spouting dangerous rhetoric from cable news desks or openly bullying schoolchildren from the halls of power, MAGA Republicans are cruelly undermining the safety and well-being of our transgender community.”
CBS news and countless other leftwing ‘news’ outlets backed up their slanderous accusations by reporting that the grandfather of the killer was a MAGA Republican, who serves as a a California State Assemblyman.
The New York Times even published an Op-Ed written by Michelle Goldberg, in which Goldberg blamed Christopher Rufo for the Colorado shooting. Rufo, who has been instrumental in alerting Americans to the insipid Marxist origins of Critical Race Theory, has also exposed the left’s obsession with teaching gender theory, defend pedophilia, and other vile efforts by the left to expose innocent children to drag shows and other inappropriate sexualization.
Goldberg accused other conservatives of inspiring the actions of the mass shooter, as well, including the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh. The purpose of this exploitation and false blame of conservatives like Walsh, Rufo, and even myself, who condemn the sexualization of children is to turn a losing cultural issue for Democrats — grooming — into a winning cultural issue in the near future.
While the left is blaming conservatives and MAGA Republicans for the murders in Colorado without a shred of evidence, they ignored the murder of 18 year old Caylor Ellingson, who was mowed down in an SUV by a Democrat, who justified the murder by claiming that Ellingson was a ‘Republican extremist,’ verbatim attacks leveled at Republicans by most Democrats, including President Biden, himself.
The public defenders of the Colorado killer are claiming that their client is non-binary and used the pronouns they/them. If true — and it would be irresponsible and counterproductive if they can’t prove it — this would prove that the killer has zero association with the very MAGA Republicans that Democrats are blaming for the mass shooting.
The Democrats are exploiting a tragedy and perpetuating their own hoax for political gain. While Alex Jones peddled a conspiracy theory that the Sandy Hook shooting itself was a hoax, Democrats exploit select mass shootings for political gain every time and peddle their own conspiracy theories about Republicans being responsible. Jones may have been wrong about the mass shooting being a hoax, but he wasn’t wrong about asserting that Democrats use select episodes of violence to justify their gun grab.
Democrats likewise perpetuated a hoax that lockdowns and school closures would ‘slow the spread’ of COVID. Suicide rates sky rocketed, as well as mental health issues and substance abuse. American children were adversely affected. Should all those, who peddled this misinformation be de-platformed?
And what about the greatest Democrat hoax of all: that America is irredeemably racist. Democrats are exploiting slavery and racism in America’s past, which they exclusively promoted, to foment hatred, violence, and gain political power and fame.
Democrat support of gender theory and their fervent support of twelve year old children’s access to puberty blockers and other gender denying forms of genitalia mutilation — without parental consent — are likewise efforts to exploit our children for their own gain: by destroying the nuclear family, creating new victims, and creating a new mental health crisis that will exclusively benefit the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party supports abortion on demand. More than 60 million American babies have been murdered since the unconstitutional Roe v. Wade decision, which was recently overturned. The Democratic Party promotes a hoax that the life of the unborn isn’t a life at all and that abortion is a Right. Democrats use this hoax for political gain.
Or how about the countless other Democrat hoaxes; like Trump-Russia collusion, quid pro quo, J6 insurrection, and Trump’s stolen nuclear secrets being held at Mar-a-lago?
Elon may have taken control of twitter, but the musk of censorship remains. Musk’s justification not to reinstate Jones is evidence that the billionaire isn’t the free speech advocate many believed him to be. Twitter is certainly more free than it was before, but Musk, like the previous ownership, still believes himself to to be the arbiter of speech.
Today Musk opposes Jones’ speech, but whose speech will he oppose tomorrow?
