The Real Reason Elon Musk Wants To Take Over Twitter

[krustymadrid]

Imagine my surprise when I heard on msnbc that this was just all about racism

[mate]

Is she saying that Russia, China & North Korea have free speech? Because they definitely have speech with consequences

[edwardlewis]

i thought freedom of speech was to be able to say what you want. They got a new definition for free speech lol

"He want's to take control of what people think.. that's our job"

[hemicudaify]

Who in their right mind would say that these two are smarter than Elon musk?

[BiggieFol]

Not sure whether this woman is delusional or manipulative! Probably a bit of both

[teole]

Anything that make the left rattled, I will support it.

[strwind]

How do you know what his intentions are? Please don’t use speculation as news, this is not journalism

[betchface]

This lady doesn’t know what she is talking about.

[Stoviecakes]

MSNBC is an absolute sh$t show. Hilarious to watch these Clowns play make believe. Keep up the good work! ❤️

[jiplinnartz]

She is literally criticizing freedom of speech on a social media platform. As if she’s just scared of what Elon is going to say. What do you mean HARRASSS???

[anthonyvallejos]

Lol she said “he doesnt stand for free speach, he just wants to be able to say what he wants with no consequences “ 😂💀 thats free speach lady …. This man has so many haters for no reason

[xsykedelix]

the more the news hates elon, the more i like him lol

[mr.greengold]

She doesn't know the first thing about free speech.

[jaydeshaw]

Elon Musk the greatest African American

[donniehenderson]

Did she really say " speech without consequences"? That is the definition of free speech. I'm glad people are starting to wake up more and more.

[Gerge_rwell]

Just another attempt at smearing someone that is threatening the narrative.

[kimidhakrey]

I have not in my life heard such a dumb argument against ideological opponent ... Final weapon racism 😂

[mechanicjobs]

Ha ha MSNBC does not want any competition from the truth. Go Elon, you can do this.

[elpaletero]

"he has never been an advocate for free speech, he's an advocate for speech without consequences" So free speech?
