so what dictators, strongman and demo because one is control over the people to say whatever they want and challenge their power. that s the way dictators work, isn t right, robert reisch. he s a lifelong leftist. you can imagine the robert ration of 1970 when he was a college applicant would be a little bit surprised to see the robert ration of nearly 80 calling for a total crackdown on the opinions of ordinary people. people get power and they change. that doesn t make any sense as an argument you can see why they stick to called elon musk a racist on cable news. stick to the same old script and that s what they are doing at cnn of course. watch. i think in some ways it s a good thing that elon musk is tweeting, livening up twitter and making it more entertaining. he is a funny guy. but there are serious questions behind what happens next. as he pushed for a full acquisition? we don t know. some of the memes he posts on twitter, anti-trans memes,
the richest guy in the world. and already you can see the strategy to keep elon musk at bay first twitter is enlisting the help of corporate media. now corporate media stands to lose at least as much as the democratic party will lose if twitter is liberated. competition is terrible for the mediocre and the illegitimate. so msnbc understands this intuitively. even their heads read the scripts on the air and so they were the first to answer the call. what did they do? you know exactly what they did. they did what they always do. they called elon musk a racist watch but they re not right wingers. another bro fascist is waiting in the wings to defend your right to spew bile online in the name of free speech and that is coming up next . he is building in tesla documented racist company that perhaps reminds him gives him nostalgic memories of apartheid south africa where he grew up. he s more than that an embodiment of what i would say is twitter s biggest strategic problem, which is a hos
anti-covid vaccine means. there s a reason to be spectacle. tucker: [laughs] he asks questions about the mandatory covid vaccine. crush him! no one is won over by this. it s absurd. clearly that propaganda strategy will not win open minds to decide its censorship. it s impossible to win open minds to the side of censorship because the ideas repugnant to any free spirit. there is other tools that twitter is going to have to use to stop a hostile takeover on behalf of free speech. for example it s virtually certain twitters on the phone with corporate lawyers in new york finding ways to use what s known as a poison pill strategy to minimize elon musk s ownership stake as much as it possibly can. one option and this would be really interesting is to give twitter shareholders the ability to buy many more shares at discount to dilute musk s control over the company but that strategy is not guaranteed to work. c-14 has a ton of options aside from buying all the shares he w.
women. especially for people of color, women of color in particular. tucker: [laughs] we could bore you with a rebuttal to the ludicrous explanation you just heard but it s not necessary. if you haven t i.q. above room temperature, you laugh at it. the lowest brow propaganda possible. he s a racist. to ignore him. that the washington post they served up something slightly different, little more stealthy. they listed the former ceo of reddit, who couldn t manage to actually run reddit, to run an op-ed elon musk s vision of free speech will be bad for twitter. [laughs] and then the piece contained this line. his client doesn t do much to reveal a lack of self-awareness as it does commit murder against the entire concept of trying to support. musk s apartment at twitter s board shows that we need regulation of social media platforms to prevent rich people from controlling our channels of communication.
. for example, he might think of this elon musk could enlist the public the pro free speech public in his hostile takeover of twitter. so anyone who is against censorship could buy twitter stock and then pledge his or her proxy votes to elon musk and that would give him control of the company and the company would be free. that would also be the single most revolutionary event ever to take place in the history of finance would be pretty thrilling to watch and it might work. they will try and be thought a lot about what elon musk should do to save this nation s public discourse. he edits a revolver news. we re happy to have him join us tonight. dan , thanks so much for coming on . what do you think elon musk will do? what should he do? well, first of all, i think he needs to understand exactly what he s getting into. he s stepping into the war zone in a way that he might not even be able to imagine at this point. as you point out, the entire regime depends on holding a total monopoly ov
