Twitter Talk

 WARNING: This post talks about the current status of Twitter, Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Readers may disagree with some statements I make or my general right of center conservative view point.

It seems that many people are all a twitter about Twitter and its new owner Elon Musk. He is all bent on trying to make Twitter a free haven for free speech. Reinvent it by steering it away from its old far left leaning Liberal ways. Musk reinstated Donald Trump's account and some others that he felt were wrongly banned, making many people angry. Elon is daily posting mean and taunting Tweets. Honestly it is more annoying than mean. Many people are afraid of more angry Tweets from Trump. Trump has disappointed them by not returning, yet. When he was expelled from Twitter he was so angry at them for wrongly evicting him from the platform, he said he wouldn't come back if they reinstated him. So far he has kept away. He has Truth Social now which is supposedly where he rants and raves now shouting mean Truths? Personally I have not ventured out to Truth Social. I barely followed Twitter, However recently I have checked it for the reactions all this has gotten. Lots of people complaining about lots of tweets that upset and anger them, simply because they disagree with them.

Many say that these changes, Musk has made, are making Twitter more evil and violent. Several liberal celebrities have made their goodbyes to Twitter and still others threaten they too will leave. Of course some of those folks said they would move out of the United States if Trump were to be elected President, well he was and they didn't.

I usually try to stay in neutral territory politically and for the most part do, but much of this left winged craziness leans me farther to the right. I have noticed in recent years that it seems the only things Democrats have been talking about (when they weren't trying to impeach or convict Trump on anything that would stick) are all the mean and evil things those damn conservative Republicans are "planning" to do and the mean things they say. They also chant daily to convict Trump for some crime or another. Isn't it interesting how both parties keep warning their followers about the evils that the other party is "planning on doing" and what we need to do to save democracy from them?

Aside from more whining, I haven't noticed anything different on the Twitter. It's still just a bunch of people saying, and doing, things that have absolutely no impact on me. In other words, it's just the same old boring Twitter.

Jon,
That is why I had rarely been on twitter pre-Elon it was mostly N/A (not applicable) to me. And yep it still is. It is fun to see the whining sometimes.
