  1. Musk did a very smart move with his Twitter decisions

  2. Musk knows exactly what to do with Twitter shares.

  3. Elon for President. Now go buy all stock in Facebook, and YouTube so we can get freedom of speech back in America

  4. Troll these morons, Elon! It is hilarious!!!

  5. Hope he opens twitter back up to EVERYONE not just liberals. I got kicked off for saying something negative about soros! I haven’t bothered with it since. It’s garbage! TOTALITARIANISM!!

  6. Twitter like other sites has become to powerful in regulating what is posted. Trash and violent comments should be sensored, however it appears Twitter has taken on political censorship which is wrong.

  7. is elon working with trump to bring down twitter , then promote truth
    social trump alternative ? the resurrection of the antichrist ?

  8. Musk won't allow those Woke Liberal scum at Twitter down a notch and make them act like real humans instead of that Neonazi ultra Left SJW's that they are now. Even Democrats think Twitter has gone too far. 🤮🤮🤮

  9. Liberals hate free speech. They are spineless

  10. Take the W out of Twitter??? Can’t wait. 😂😂😂

  11. Musk or others should launch a new platform simular to YouTube only uncensored so a political narrative cannot be forced upon creators or videos taken down because a woke reviewer doesnt like a different view. The American way is free speech, not say what we want or else like YouTube or Twitter. YouTube wants a sweatshop, say what we want or you are banned and we can steal all your creations. All creators should copyright every video and refuse to agree to YouTubes theft, and file suit for monopoly, extortion, blocking of pursuit of happiness (free work rights) constitutional rights.

  12. Almost all the leaders of the EU, the US and the UK are involved in the murders of thousands of Ukrainians in Ukraine!
    That's why there is such a fuss about Russia's special operation in Ukraine – NATO conducted experiments on people, thousands of Ukrainians have disappeared in Ukraine since 2014! Zelensky received millions of dollars and euros from the EU, the USA and NATO for his assistance and participation in this crime! Zelensky allowed to conduct bio-tests on Ukrainians! I am sure there will be many more such discoveries in Ukraine!
    As a vivid example: Under the industrial zone "Azovstal", owned by the oligarch Rinat Akhmetov (Kuchma's son), 24 km of tunnels were laid at a depth of up to 30 meters.

    A secret NATO PIT-404 facility has been discovered there – and a secret NATO biological laboratory with biological weapons. NATO officers are blocked at the PIT-404 facility. The tunnels are equipped with a bunker system with armor protection.

    There are about 240 foreigners inside, including officers of NATO and the French Foreign Legion, as well as employees of the biolab. Their security, funded by Akhmetov, has up to 300 people.

    The biolab at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol at the so-called PIT-404 facility was built and operated by Metabiota, a company associated with Hunter Biden, Rinat Akhmetov and Vladimir Zelensky.

    In the laboratories of this facility, tests were conducted to create biological weapons. Thousands of Mariupol residents have become "guinea pigs" in these terrible trials. They're all gone. And mostly Western "specialists" took part in these inhuman experiments.

    Officers from the USA, Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Turkey, Sweden, Poland and Greece are now blocked in the dungeons of Azovstal. American Lieutenant General Roger Clothier, captured the other day by the People's Militia of the DPR from a downed helicopter, was tracked down by the GRU of the General Staff and the SVR of Russia in Mariupol – testifies.

  13. Maybe his background check didn’t pan through. Who knows?

  14. An ingenious move by Elon. It's interesting to note that Elon is friends with Peter Thiel who is friends with Trump. I'm going to enjoy this entertainment between Elon and Twitter.

  15. This guy is the real Bruce Wayne

  16. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, the life.John 14:6. It looks like Jesus is coming back soon.Repent.Believe. Accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour of our lives.
    He loves us so much.
    John 3:16
    The biggest/ eternal mistake and regrets in our lives would be to die without knowing/ accepting Jesus Christ

  17. "Homeless Shelter" is a reminder of a public statement by Tom Cotton that Jack Dorsey looked like a homeless person. Everybody knows Musk bought Twitter to reinstate "freedom of speech". He is prolonging firing them with his coming or going. The biggest punishment is not being fired but how and when.

  18. People don't seem to understand that all individuals have limited brain capacity, which means they need to allocate their time, activity, and mental effort to things they view worthwhile. Elon Musk's character is that he scatter shoots his efforts all over the place while disregarding a few measured responses that would make him appear more sane. There are portions of his character that are not balanced, and whether you view it as good or bad, the determining factor of what he does is if the results of his actions are not harmful.

  19. NBC has been put on notice no longer business as usual

  20. Did I hear them right that Musk wants to take the "W" out of Twitter? So it will bet called Titter. So it's all about the boobs?

  21. Alexa, play DJ Cummerbund The Next Sickness

  22. It's that mean @realDonaldJTrump won't be back!? Hmm hahaha

  23. I know ted cruz is upset and im loving it hahaha😂.

  24. Well Must needs to reinstate the President of the United States Immediately if he want's to stay alive.

  25. Heard Queen Elizabeth was murdered by Charles? Why no stories about this?

  26. He made his money maybe already sold it!

  27. He has to put the real President back or he's dead already

  28. this guy‘s a waste of space…stop hyping this fool! stop covering him in the media!!!

  29. ไม่ขอยุ่งแล้วครับลาขาดครับ

  30. EM will integrate SNS & Online Crypto payment aystem!

  31. WAIT! As an educator I find this short demonstration on ILLEGAL immigration an excellent lesson on the cold hard FACTS:
