WaPo says Elon Musk's "Twitter investment could be bad news for free speech" Musk responds and so does Substack

This is not a joke: on Tuesday, the Washington Post wrote a piece titled: "Elon Musk's Twitter Investment Could Be Bad News for Free Speech." Musk's response was succinct and perfectly worded:

WaPo always good for a laugh 🤣🤣

It's laughable to believe that Twitter was ever a bastion of free speech. They ban anyone for anything with which they disagree. They banned a standing President [Trump], a satire sight for posting satire that went against their wokeness, anyone who said anything about the pandemic, anything negative about Dr. Fauci and anything else that went against their woke agenda. 

Twitter locked out the account of the Babylon Bee, a satirical site, for an article proclaiming Rachel Levine, a man who thinks he's a woman, as winning the "Man of the Year Award." The Bee refuses to take down their tweet, and while Twitter could have deleted it themselves, would rather have "offenders" bend the knee to their demands.

Twitter took similar action against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, who had the audacity and lacking of a degree in biology to point out on that “Rachel Levine is a man.” He was subsequently flagged for “hateful conduct” by the Tech giant.

Last August, Allie Beth Stuckey, a conservative, was suspended by Twitter for a tweet that criticized Olympic weightlifter Laurel Hubbard, a man with his penis and testicles, XY chromosomes and greater muscle mass, for competing against females. He didn't win, but he is still a man.

Twitter is a steaming garbage heap of hypocrisy and WaPo is their kindling, and hopefully Musk will do something about the platform.

Now a number of Twitter employees are worried that Elon Musk has joined the board of directors promising free speech and some leftists are leaving the company.

Substack, another tech company invited new employment applications to their company, expcept from Twitter employees disgruntled by "Elon Musk pushing for less regulated speech."

Lulu Cheng Meservey — the vice president of communications for Substack, a platform that supports subscription newsletters — told Twitter employees to not bother applying if they worry about Musk’s reforms. 

“Substack is hiring! If you’re a Twitter employee who’s considering resigning because you’re worried about Elon Musk pushing for less regulated speech… please do not come work here,” she tweeted. “But for everybody else, we really are hiring! Join a talented, determined, passionate, motley team of all backgrounds and beliefs. We debate respectfully, execute maniacally, and live to serve writers and podcasters.”

Meservey explained that Substack is devoted to “defending free expression, even for stuff we personally dislike or disagree with.” She also expressed a desire for “a thriving ecosystem full of fresh and diverse ideas.”

As Mike Lindell of "My Pillow" fame said when speaking about his absorbent towels: "What a concept.
