The Twitter Issue Is the New BLM of Election Campaigning

There is no point to controlling the media if you do not also control the social networks.

But how did it occur to Elon Musk to buy Twitter without asking permission from the Left? But how did it occur to him to make his own decisions after having paid $44 billion for it? Who does he think he is, the owner? Nothing surrounding this operation is trivial, it is the cornerstone of the cultural battle. It has all the favorite battle condiments of the contemporary Left: good guys and bad guys, corporate demagoguery, control of discourse, corporate pressure, under-the-table foul play, boycotts by the progressive elite, cancel culture, wokism, and even sentimentality, as we see in the overacted drama of the victims of a personnel adjustment.
