This morning Musk bid $54.20 a share to buy the rest of Twitter and take it private — nearly 40% higher than Twitter’s stock price in January before Musk started buying.

The attempt to depict Musk’s takeover of Twitter as menacing because it means billionaire control of social media is the funniest and dumbest thing I’ve heard.
That’s the scheme under which we *now* live, and most establishment liberals are thrilled because they want censorship. https://t.co/kXbJ3B60aB
