"They are basically saying : we’re OK with this wealthy person owning Twitter, or this group of wealthy people, but not these wealthy persons or these groups."
This point of view makes perfect sense once you accept that the noisemakers are, quite simply, extremely prejudiced people. (I no longer can call them any of the names they might have for themselves: leftists, liberals, progressives, Democrats-- they're very prejudiced noisy people who have gone way off the rails but have enough critical mass to be able to convince each other they're not on the crazy train.) And when a government foments prejudice in order to maintain and consolidate its power-- this is what you get. It's scary to see that many people simply can't see it when it's happening to them; but it truly is a reminder that we are not so different from the silly humans before us who lived at other times when bad ideas gained momentum. How do we tear off the blinders created by prejudice? Maybe it involves a Tesla.
This goes back to the essay you wrote on free speech; it has to be absolute. There really is a slippery slope and the right to speak freely is tumbling head-over-heals down it right now.
So many leftist Americans (many democrat politicians) loudly came out and declared that they refused to be injected with the "rushed Trump vaccine" only to become evangelists for it when the husk of Biden was inaugurated, going so far as to deny freedoms and employment to the diseased vermin who remained unjabbed. Biden really is the tyrant they warned us that Trump would become. Completely ignorant of history, they are unaware that the American Revolution was fought over lesser transgressions.
One group of Americans has waved goodbye to reality as they draw up blueprints for the utopia that will always be a few years away. Their hatred for those who oppose them is unnerving. It sure looks like we are living in the "interesting times" of the Chinese curse.
Free speech has been under attack all over the world, and in many Western nations. France & Canada have both jailed individuals for "hate" speech and/or crimes, and many US States have enacted hate crime laws that are used to increase penalties.
I have been arguing with people for over 20 years about the evils of speech & thought crimes to no avail. Logic and reason cannot cast out the demons from the leftist cult.
I hope Elon Musk is as successful at pioneering a return to corporate courage as he's been in his other endeavors.
Cheer up! If the Western world stock markets continue in their current direction (courtesy of the same generalized inanity behind the Bizarro World censorship fashion), AE Twitter will be the least of the distractions our furrow-browed censorious will have to deal with. Their 'minds' will be fully saturated with many, many other concerns that they'll also be unable to handle. Deer in headlights, for sure.
"Today, our glorious leader, Josef Mao-Bidenskii signed into law a new act that will ensure our safety and security online now and in the future. Every online post or message on a network must be submitted to FIST (Federal Information Safety Testing) for approval where any potential harmful statements can be dealt with."
That is PURE GOLD! Bravo!
You also said in passing, "They are behaving like children who are all smiles and good cheer when they are getting the sweeties and candies, but have a major hissy fit when they don’t get what they want." That describes the infantilism that has swept across so much of our societies, mostly in the west, but in Asian countries as well. The manipulation of personal intelligence rivals the manipulation of international "intelligence".
There must be full throated, un-equivocal non-partisan rejection of this gross violation of not only the US Constitution, but this over-the-top assault on western culture and rationality.
