  1. It's high time for this and also the Great Twitter Account Unbanned to happen welcome back into America Free Speech Twitter Account User's of The Twitter App! No let's see who the real Fact's Checkers on Twitter Really really are!!!!

  2. YES, I LOVE IT!!! Mainstream News is freaking out that FREE SPEECH is finally coming back to Twitter! The only MISINFORMATION is what comes out on CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC & NY Times who DO NOT report REAL news anymore because they are hardcore Pro-Dem Political Operative Activists spewing HATE & Fear to Divide Americans!

  3. Elon's fortune DEPENDS on US Congress's approval; STARLINK,SPACEX,TESLA are all dependent of Gov contracts, licenses and subsidies.
    If you think Musk is a defender of free Speech just consider his own tweet when Trump overthrew the democratically elected Bolivian Gov (For cheaper Lithium) : "We can Coup Anyone we want."

  4. Buy Your Hip Waders, the Liberal Tears are going to be deep…. 😉😁👍

  5. Elon musk needs to drive home to the public the advantage of electric cars. The gm lobby and how they go onto state legislatures with campaign money to stop Tesla dealerships. In their own interest to the detriment of the public.having Tesla dealerships and charging stations everywhere would reduce gas prices even if people drove their electric cars to work and their Cadillac SUVs on the weekend. And make us independent from opec.

  6. This was the right move. Can't wait to see what happens next!

  7. A haven for hate speech and disinformation. How can CNN or Facebook complain about disinformation. When they've got their own platform to counter anything said on Twitter. The problem CNN has they don't like it when they can't push their half truth Soviet style attack ad propoganda. They obviously don't have a claim if they've got their own venue

  8. Ah yes, I need more "Covfefe" in my life 🤣

  9. The fact that this is even a thing is pathetic. Get off social media if you can't handle mean words, or if you can't handle rules when you use other people's products for free. Freedom is freedom, not just the things you want to be free to do. Freedom is being able to go online and spew whatever nonsense you want. Freedom is also being able to create your own social media platform, let people use it for free, and tell people to Fцск off if they don't follow the guidelines you set.

  10. Hope he buys YouTube now!!!

  11. If only the twitter board wasn’t too polarizing in their political censorship, musk wouldn’t do this.

  12. Ukurai, like the Japanese king, Hitler, Mussolini and Putin, were listed on the Foreign Ministry's website as "war crimes." Japanese right-wingers are in a frenzy after seeing this, and the Kishida government immediately demanded correction.
    A spokesman for the Ukrainian government deleted it from its website, but people around the world laughed at Hiroito's knowledge that he was a war criminal, and that he covered the sky with his palm.

  13. It's a BEAUTIFUL DAY in the WORLD TODAY! ❤️🙏

  14. It be a cesspit of Russian Propaganda and Right wing disinformation. And will all go unchecked.

  15. Why are people so concerned about Trump being back on Twitter?? Isn't it strange? I mean he lost the election fair and square and Biden got more votes than Obama… so what's the problem?

  16. his name is now elon must.. i don't think twitter is much more important than facebook..

  17. Joo toob follow suit!

  18. Does this mean parents could question the value of teaching sexual lifestyles and gender confusion to little kids without being banned for "hate speech"? Weird. I mean, somehow, for the entire history of people, kids were mentally fine without sexual indoctrination at ages 5-8… but now it's vital to save their lives, how can we possibly survive if leftists can't decide which speech is ok to hear and which speech isn't?

  19. Elon riding on tweedy bird. Lol

  20. This is a win for democracy.

  21. Elon is a bright light! Let’s get it!

  22. Good riddance….good day for America
    Free speech is back…thank god

  23. Alone musk name change alian musk

  24. MSM shitting bricks!

  25. Lol. That why the American government is losing so much power in America and around the world. These billionaire have a God complex because they have so much money they do what they want when they want and never go to jail or prison for what they did they re now more powerful then the president of the United States of America Because when they want something they just send a LOBBYISTS to Washington DC to pay the Republicans, democrats or the president of. Nobody should be above the law we all know the billionaire is Look at Bill Gates made a video on YouTube 2013 telling the world and epidemic is coming in 2020 and the virus came kill millions world wide bill gates didn't do a day in jail if that was a man making 15 dollars a hour he will be in prison for 10 life time and he have to tell the government how he knew about the epidemic was coming In 2020. Instead the government is treating these billionaire like God's and they re just men

  26. This is a step in the right direction.

  27. Man, nothing pisses off the radical left like losing Disney, Twitter and the American people's trust in 2 weeks. Talk about sh**ing the bed. Lol

  28. I bought some pizza

  29. Finally freedom of speech will be installed back to this country! The left, haters and hypocrites will no longer fully control our media!

  30. Hear that? That is the sound of liberal heads exploding everywhere.

  31. "Humanitarian issues are extremely important to me & I don’t understand why they are not important to everyone," Musk wrote. Then he should have taken an interest when Gates asked him to philanthropy on climate change. Instead of buying Twitter. He should leave Twitter the way it is. Some rules are needed to keep the peace and prevent another coup and murders. I'm on time out, wait for republican tweet checker to tell me what sentences was inappropriate.

  32. I hope he shuts it down
    😂😂😂

  33. Imagine if he buys YouTube… just like that..

  34. Thank you, Elon.
    Twitter must be burned and then terraformed!

  35. Wow Liberals and the corrupt left can't sensor Republicans anymore?? That's crazy these Dems are going into meltdown mode!

  36. I wonder if he'll buy Disney next?

  37. Youtube next please!

  38. I admire Musk's achievements, but I don't trust his intentions. And I'm no progressive.

    Think about it. Now owns a propaganda platform ( Twitter ), Neuralink ( 666 chip ), Starlink ( Skynet ), autonomous vehicles software, and A.I. robotics ( The T-1000 Terminator ), and Space X Starship to escape a dieing planet.

  39. funded already sold, sort of, new boxes already doing some thiNgs. CNN+ is terminated, and CFO is gone.

  40. Democrats upset by this don't fear being censored, they fear being challenged.

  41. Make online debates great again!
