In the past year Big Tech and Big Media are learning a valuable lesson – That “Get Woke, Go Broke” is not just a mantra, it’s a rule. We’ve just seen companies like Netflix take a massive market beating because of their hubris and their presumption that they can simply dictate the path of our culture from on high through leftist propaganda. CNN just shut down their premium “+” service after a single month because no one trusts them enough to pay them pocket change for content. And Disney is about to lose their municipal charter in Florida because they thought they were in charge of the state and its laws, when in fact they are not.
Woke corporations are slowly but surely dying and leftists don’t seem to grasp the situation. They’ll never admit openly that the reason these companies are seeing declines is because of their cult-like political stance that justifies the forced indoctrination of everyone, including children. They’ll say it was covid, they’ll say it was inflation, they’ll say it was bigotry, but in reality it was always them. No one likes them, and people are finally realizing they don’t have to spend money buying products from insane leftists they don’t like.
In this regard Twitter is a bit of an enigma. The social media company has gone from a relatively innocuous space for people to market online businesses and for politicians and celebrities to engage with their followers or detractors, to a vicious battleground overrun with leftist zealots hellbent on using the platform as a weapon to silence dissent and destroy the lives of people that disagree with them. The platform went from average social media outlet to becoming a birthplace for evil behavior. If I was to describe what Twitter really stands for today, I would say it is an attempt to build a global hive mind; a place where everyone is coerced into conformity with establishment ideals through peer pressure and mob aggression.
That is to say, Twitter is the antithesis to a free speech society; a beta test for the future of authoritarianism where you THINK you are allowed to speak your mind but only the “correct” opinions are allowed to pass.
How this happened is hard to say. Some theorize that leftist cultists scrambled like rats from the sinking ship of Tumblr and found their way over to Twitter to take up residency. I would argue that maybe Twitter was always intended to become what it now is. Just take a look at the monster’s gallery of its largest shareholders.
There’s Vanguard and Blackrock, which together represent a globalist vampire squid of epic proportions. Their tentacles are wrapped around almost every aspect of the economy including media, big pharma (companies like Pfizer), weapons manufacturers, huge swaths of the US housing market, etc. If these two mega conglomerates were to somehow be wiped off the face of the Earth tomorrow, the world would be a much better place. For now, they own almost everything.
Then there is Morgan Stanley, another “too big to fail” international banking firm which for some reason has a major stake in the realm of “tweets.” Whenever globalist companies like these pursue major investments in a communications platform there is generally something nefarious afoot. And, it should be noted that almost all the media companies they own push an agenda that leans hard left and is tyrannical in nature. We witnessed this undeniable dynamic in the past two years as media companies attacked anyone that stood against the illegal covid mandates.
Why do major globalist institutions have so much interest in Twitter? It’s not because Twitter is a money maker. In 2020 the company suffered a net income loss of over $1.14 billion. In 2021 there was an income loss of $221 million. Twitter still claims it earns a profit, but this is primarily derived from stock buybacks and state and federal government subsidies, meaning, without overnight loans from the Federal Reserve and tax breaks from government Twitter simply would not exist.
Twitter is carrying a debt load of around $6.75 billion in total liabilities according to the Wall Street Journal, which might not seem like much in comparison with many other companies but again, Twitter is not a money maker so any sizeable debt is a problem. They suffered dismal stock performance until the pandemic which led to trillions in stimulus dollars flooding into equities markets. Now that the covid checks have dried up, the company’s stock has spiraled down yet again. The only thing propping it up today is the sudden prospect of an Elon Musk buyout.
Twitter was bleeding users and was dealing with a declining membership base leading up to 2019, when the company decided they would fix the problem by NOT REPORTING traditional user numbers anymore. They shifted to a new metric which they claimed was designed to discount the removal of “spam and bot accounts.” One has to wonder how much of Twitter’s actual user base is made of real people rather than fake accounts? Even with the new metrics, evidence suggests they have continued to lose users and revenues since 2019, largely due to the hostile political witch hunt environment that Twitter has developed in the past few years.
The US government has also been heavily invested in Twitter since at least 2014, throwing millions into various projects the company has undertaken including many overseas. This makes sense because Twitter regularly shares user data with government agencies, often while claiming they don’t. Surveillance requests are kept secret and any releases of information on such requests are blocked by US courts.
Overall, Twitter is a cesspool of political and corporate corruption. A sock puppet of massive globalist shareholders and a data clearing house for conglomerates and governments alike. This is why I have never had an account with them, and likely never will.
It boggles my mind how all of these facts can be right out in the open, yet the one thing that sends leftists on Twitter into a rage is the notion that Elon Musk might buy up enough stock in the company to determine its future course. Here are some key facts that I think the Twitter elites need to consider:
1) Twitter has been on a downward plunge in terms of user base and revenues for years now. The fact that the company’s board has decided to assert a leftist political agenda and enforce unbalanced censorship rules is killing the company even further. In a few years, Twitter will not exist. Or, if it does, it will be a shell of its former self much like MySpace or Tumblr. The platform you people think you control is dying. Without fair public discourse and equally enforced guidelines Twitter serves no purpose other than to act as an echo chamber for leftist fanatics, and who wants to be a party to that?
2) The Twitter cult and their “blue check mark” gatekeepers are losing their minds over the prospect of a “billionaire” taking over Twitter when in reality the platform has been controlled by the worlds richest and most invasive shareholders for a long time. If you think Vanguard or BlackRock are better stewards than Elon Musk then I suggest you do a little more research on the history of these corporations.
3) Elon Musk’s interest in Twitter has stirred up excitement over a platform that was otherwise destined for the dumpster. I might even suggest that Musk’s activities are prolonging Twitter’s lifespan by drawing in investment that never would have been there otherwise. The blue checkmarks should be thanking him instead of attacking him.
4) What is the primary complaint that Twitter elitists have when it comes to Musk? That he MIGHT bring in more fair and balanced rules which would prevent political censorship. In other words, they are angry because he might allow true free speech within the boundaries of legality for conservatives as well as leftists. This is unacceptable to them. In their minds, free speech is only reserved for those with “correct thinking”, and they believe they get to dictate what “correct thinking” is. It takes a special kind of psychopath to believe that their side is the only side of an issue that deserves to be heard.
In terms of Elon Musk, I’m reserving judgment for now. Tesla and SpaceX receive billions in government subsidies and tax incentives, far more than Twitter does. I question the validity of any company that relies on government handouts in order to survive.
Musk is also an attendee of the World Government Summit in Dubai, where globalists from various nations meet to talk about the agenda for world centralization. Musk’s discussion was specifically on how he thinks the future of humanity is to “merge with machines”, much like having your cell phone attached to your brain. This sounds like a dystopian nightmare to me; government’s already track and monitor cell phone activity, do you really want them to do the same with your brain?
Musk’s anti-woke positions may be legitimate, or maybe it’s just a persona.
Setting all that aside, Musk’s surprising pursuit of Twitter is interesting no matter which way it goes. He could take control and shut the whole thing down, which is what I would suggest given the platform is a cancer on society and rife with government and corporate surveillance. Scattering the blue check cult to the four winds would be one of the best gifts Musk could give the the world right now. They can always complain about everything on other platforms, just not with so much concentrated corporate and government power at their disposal.
They’ll say this is all an attack on free speech, but these people don’t understand what free speech is. They believe that it is free speech if they walk up to people and say “I’m going to destroy you and your way of life.” And then when those people react to stop them, they cry that they are victims and claim that this is a violation of their rights. Where I come from, you don’t make threats against people and then expect them to do nothing about it. The leftists on Twitter and elsewhere are going to learn this lesson soon, one way or another.

I agree the jury is still out on old Elon. His transhumanist proclivities are definitely disturbing. We will know he’s against us when a formal registration/ID is required to post. All in the name of fighting bots of course!
Hey Brandon, great article and very timely. Wish I had more to add other than to say that I couldn’t agree more with your point of view on both Twitter and Elon Musk.
Remember that Leftists love another cult: The Deny!
About Elon Musk and transhumanism: in 2014, he appeared very, very stealthy way in the movie “Transcendence” (2014).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXKg6DI9DOQ
“Transcendence” is a science fiction thriller film whose the main star is Johnny Depp..
The movie follows a group of scientists who race to finish an artificial intelligence project while being targeted by a radical anti-technology organization.
A rather interesting and “timely” film. A “good” dystopia.
Elon Musk has always been – and remains – a flatulent mystery to me.
Here’s a guy trying to build cars for which the technology simply does not EXIST…and won’t until Graphene Hyper-Capacitors are widely available, who is the RICHEST idiot on Earth. Absolutely boggles the mind that anyone would actually pay good money for those self-immolating, non-self-driving POS’s.
Worse, the entire ‘Electric Car Fanboy Club’ is an even greater mystery to me…especially since any such conveyance necessarily contains control circuitry which can essentially nullify driver input remotely anytime someone somewhere ELSE decides to pre-empt said driver.
It seems to me by observation that the only group typically laying out money for those are the hip new ‘Metro-sexual’ gender confused crowd. OMG, will I be glad when that entire segment of the population is finally culled. My other personal peeve revolves around the ENTIRE “Angry Young Black Man/Woman” genre to whom I say only, “Grow UP, get a J O B and figure out what it actually means to be an A D U L T. Please, that shite is beyond worn-out.
Nuff said there methinks….JOG
JOG: Tesla cars, love ‘em or hate ‘em, I’ll stick with my all original 1972 Ford Maverick with nothing electronic (even still has the mechanical contact points ignition) about as EMP proof as you can get, can’t be hacked, easy to work on and maintain. Well, at least as long as gas is available.
Howdy LT,
Apologies, I try to respond with more alacrity usually, BUT it’s “Game ON” for gardening here in the midwest!
Indeed, you can hardly go wrong with the classics!
That said, DARPA ramon a test about 15 years ago out at the White Sands testing range assessing the effects of prompt EMP (E1) on vehicles using an overarching grid hung above a testing space…think here something not dissimilar to the HAARP antenna’s.
Well, after extensive testing the conclusion they drew was that for the majority of metallic body panel vehicles (NOT Saturns!) EMP effects were roughly immaterial.
However, that doesn’t mean the ‘Oldies’ ain’t the GOODIES. Given both China and Russia’s deep well of Cyber expertise how much would you like to bet that one or the other (or bith) can’t already mass invoke GMC’s OnStar and place every model so equipped into ‘Limp Mode’? Every highway in every metropolitan area would instantly be Perma-gridlocked instantly.
Just thinking ahead as it were…
Best Regards…JOG
First and foremost I believe Musk is a gov’t contractor posing as a private business. No one amasses that kind of wealth and control (with no competition) without help from the right people. Same goes for Bezos, Jobs and Gates by the way.
Not sure what to think of Twitter, except like Facebook, it’s another data collection platform. But then we had Trump who was running the country by “tweeting” everything and seems to me he made it popular.
I don’t follow what Twitter does but one can’t help to know of its existence when Trump is tweeting like a teenage girl. The world hates Trump so perhaps Twitter’s downward spiral is attributed to the orange man? Now that Twitter’s value is in the tank, Musk is taking interest in owning it. Well, yeah, one tries to not buy at top dollar. This smells like a set up for something much bigger. What exactly I don’t know but when it’s big main stream news the public is being conditioned to accept something.
I wouldn’t say the world hates Trump, just the political left. I hated the people he chose for his cabinet, and I think most conservatives liked him simply because he drove the leftists insane with rage. Otherwise, most people I know are indifferent.
I wish more people were indifferent about trump. People wouldn’t shut up about him. Many still won’t.
Yes, they still can’t stop whining about him to this day; they hate him but they’re whole lives revolve around him. In their minds Trump is a constant reminder to average leftists that though they think they own the world, their power can be taken away at any time, and there’s nothing they covet more than power.
A thought I had. Musk is being used to set up Twitter so Trump can tweet when he is used as our next President. 😑
Well put and I agree. But the world sure got a heavy dose of “orange man bad” that continues today.
Looks like gettr.com may be a twitter alternative?
I’ve been using it and have had no problems so far.
Elon’s Space X was directly funded by Rothschild, and he has been tasked with ushering in a nefarious agenda. Just as controlled as DJT was…
I have yet to figure this Elon Musk dude out. My mom swears he’s half human half machine! I mean, he is kind of strange. Nevertheless, it is terribly enjoyable to watch leftists freak out over him. But I’m keeping my eye on him.
To understand Musk, ignore what he says, ignore what the media says, and look at what he does. He’s launched a satellite program that will surveil the entire planet in real time, 24/7. He’s developing brain implant technology that will synch the human mind to the internet and other computer technology. He’s leading the global path towards electric vehicles, in an environment where electrical grids are already insufficient, thus a world dependent on electricity for personal vehicles will be unsustainable.
Everything he does is funded by an agency or private organization who is either leading the authoritarian herbalist charge, or is already captured by it.
If you stop listening to Musk and the media, he is not an enigma. He’s a key globalist player who’s public personal is crafted to indoctrinate the gullible into accepting the technologies that he controls. “Global satellite surveillance in real time, of every square inch of the world’s surface? Well, I’m just glad it’s controlled by Musk and not some globalist authoritarian….”
Right?
Lol, gotta love auto correct – I meant “globalist” not “herbalist”
Yeah, I just LOVE that GD “Auto-Correct” too…

“If these two mega conglomerates were to somehow be wiped off the face of the Earth tomorrow, the world would be a much better place. For now, they own almost everything.”
That nails it as concisely as it can be nailed. Lately I am thinking an economic collapse , or at least a dollar collapse might not be all bad…
The problem is that such collapses are engineered to only affect regular people – The international corporations always seem to escape, often with even more power than they had before.
In social network world: Is Musk new sheriff 3.0?

How much free speech will a Twitter takeover by Musk prevail? After all Musk’s option funding is from Morgan Stanley.
We’ll have to wait and see. Twitter is not all that important in the grand scheme of things, but it will be interesting to see how the situation develops. I would assume nothing.
