Elon is a product of The Swamp. Made his fortune with government contracts and incentives to buy his products that nobody would without them. Electric cars are nowhere near as practical as internal combustion cars. And more prone to deadly fires. With greater environmental damage from mining materials used in batteries. With limited range between lengthy recharging. Nice toys for urban driving. That are terrible in mountains and cold weather climates. But making laws that force people into his cars or make them appear to be economical with tax rebates isn’t how free market wealth creation happens. Stacking the deck like he’s done is corporate cronyism. Another word for socialism. Musk is was made wealthy by socialism, a business model given preferential treatment by the state through lobbying by special interests.

That said, he has articulated support for free speech. Which makes him seem to be an ally to those of us on the outside of permitted speech today. But the truth is he only supports *free-er* speech. Now that masking is loosing steam we’re seeing more free speech about masks in permitted speech, like Bill Maher today. So that will be allowed on Twitter in a post-Musk ownership environment. And we’ll begin to feel like free speech is being restored.

But, mark my words, Twitter will have Third Rails of speech that will remain prohibited even in a post-Musk ownership environment. 2020 Election Fraud. Vaccine Efficacy and Injury. Opposition to Ukraine-Russia Intervention. Verbotten. Forbidden. Even under Musk. Unless and until those topics lose steam like masking is beginning to.

So the question is, why the excitement and news frenzy around Musk’s takeover of Twitter? Look at what is happening with Truth Social, DWAC stock today for a clue. Q- Why would The Swamp set a Swamp Creature out to challenge it in the public? A- To deflate a bigger threat it sees rising against it. To give the people clamoring for their right to speak and be heard and illusion of free speech being restored on a platform that is still controlled by The Swamp. An illusion of freedom. Controlled Opposition. This is the why.

The Swamp does a masterful job of building up opponents it actually controls. Like the Bush’s and Cheney’s. War Criminals. Murderers. Nazi’s. Until they join with the Uniparty’s march to authoritarianism. Best friends with the Obama’s and Biden’s now. And BFF’s with the CCP. They had many conservatives suckered into defending them. Did the same thing with the Kavanaugh and Comey-Barrett confirmation hearings. The right defended the nominees only to have them turn on them, their values.

The Swamp strikes again. Musk’s takeover of Twitter is yet another connivance of the Deep State, The Swamp. Don’t be fooled. Truth Social, Substack, etc are the target. Worth a temporary reprieve on free speech restrictions and censorship that avoids the Third Rails. But not true free speech. Not Truth. The shift in the Overton Window towards acceptable censorship will remain on Twitter.
