    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

    It's strange how Elon Musk can influence stock prices with a single post on Twitter. It would be interesting if anybody close to Musk has made a fortune from the Twitter stocks first going up (after Elon announced he wanted to buy Twitter), and then going down just as fast (after he put the deal on hold)...


    Elon Musk is sued by a Twitter investor accusing him that he manipulated Twitter stock price by putting the deal on hold, even though he was well aware before he announced buying Twitter about the many BOTs on Twitter. That's not even counting that this would not be a valid reason regardless.
    Twitter lost $8 billion in value since the buyout was announced: https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/elon...lation-3013344


    Strangely Reuters has a completely different story. This sounds more serious.
    Elon Musk had purchased more than 5% of Twitter by 14 March, and continued to buy, until he owned he owned 9.2% of Twitter in early April. According to the rules of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), an investor must disclose a 5% stake in a company within 10 days, which Elon Musk didn't.
    So the SEC started an investigation.

    And Musk has also been sued over this by Twitter investors, who claim that Musk saved $156 million by failing to disclose his 5% stake in time.
    The company Twitter is also a defendant in this lawsuit by Twitter investors, arguing that the company should have but didn't investigate Musk's conduct.

    Musk has earlier this month been sued in Delaware by a Florida pension fund because some other big Twitter shareholders are supporting the buyout, in violation of Delaware law: https://www.reuters.com/markets/deal...ke-2022-05-26/

    I'm really starting to like Musk more and more...

    Subject: Remote work is no longer acceptable

    Anyone who wishes to do remote work must be in the office for a minimum (and I mean *minimum*) of 40 hours per week or depart Tesla. This is less than we ask of factory workers.

    If there are particularly exceptional contributors for whom this is impossible, I will review and approve those exceptions directly.

    Moreover, the “office” must be a main Tesla office, not a remote branch office unrelated to the job duties, for example being responsible for Fremont factory human relations, but having your office be in another state.

    Thanks,
    Elon
    Subject: To be super clear

    Everyone at Tesla is required to spend a minimum of 40 hours in the office per week. Moreover, the office must be where your actual colleagues are located, not some remote pseudo office. If you don’t show up, we will assume you have resigned.

    The more senior you are, the more visible must be your presence. That is why I lived in the factory so much – so that those on the line could see me working alongside them. If I had not done that, Tesla would long ago have gone bankrupt.

    There are of course companies that don’t require this, but when was the last time they shipped a great new product? It’s been a while.

    Tesla has and will create and actually manufacture the most exciting and meaningful products of any company on Earth. This will not happen by phoning it in.

    Thanks,
    Elon

    In 2017 and 2018, Tesla hired a consultant, MWW PR, to monitor employees in a Facebook group and more broadly on social media amidst a push to unionize employees.
    MWW PR was assigned to loosely monitor for any discussions of unfair labor practices at the EV maker, and any discussions about a sexual harassment lawsuit.While dated, the documents detailing the employee surveillance are useful for anyone looking to better understand the view of the automaker’s priorities when viewing social media.Some have noted the irony of Musk now extolling freedom of speech on social media as he undertakes a takeover of twitter, after hiring a company to spy on employees on social media.

    I, for one, am thankful that the Biden SEC is finally looking into Elon Musk after his Twitter offer. Musk exposing that up to 90% of Twitter accounts could be bot-farm accounts sure was a blow to liberty. Sombeody's gotta stop that guy, he's a wrecking ball on the loose!

    Please don't tell anybody that Elon plans to force all "humans" (!) to identify themselves, which will surely make an end to those pesky BOTs...
    The following blatant Elon Musk connection to the corrupt former New York governor Andrew Cuomo also is somewhat ignored by our wonderful media. How strange with all of those stories about poor Elon, from all of those mean anti-Musk media.

    In 2014, Elon Musk promoted the idea of SolarCity building a solar plant in Buffalo, New York. Construction started in 2014 and was completed in 2017, financed by $750 million and another $500 million subsidy from the New York state.

    Tesla acquired SolarCity for over $2 billion in 2016.
    The Buffalo Billion plant was a joint venture with Panasonic until early 2020.

    In 2009, SolarCity announced a partnership with the Dutch Rabobank.

    In March 2018, Cuomo's top aide, Joe Percoco, was convicted of bribery and wire fraud.
    In July 2018 - Alain Kaloyeros; Steven Aiello; Joseph Gerardi; and Louis Ciminelli were convicted of rigging bids for state contracts, including Buffalo Billion.
    Cuomo's former aide Todd Howe also pleaded guilty to corruption charges relating to COR Development and LPCiminelli.

    In November 2013, Louis P. Ciminelli (CEO of LPCiminelli) hosted a fundraiser for Cuomo, 3 weeks before submitting his bid to the Buffalo Billion program. Reportedly Ciminelli personally contributed $96,500 to Cuomo's gubernatorial campaigns

    Besides that Elon Musk stumbles through what he says, which gives me the impression that he's lying, he explains that he wants Twitter to be a platform for "moderate" contents.
    I guess this means that there is no place on Twitter for those horrible "extremists" that expose the green agenda for what it is (or Elon plans to continue Twitter's censorship practices)...

    Board unanimously approves Elon Musk’s $44B Twitter takeover bid
    https://nypost.com/2022/06/21/elon-m...roved-by-board
    Ariel Zilber (21 June 2022)

    Elon Musk moved one step closer to completing his $44 billion takeover of Twitter on Tuesday when the company’s board of directors unanimously approved his buyout offer, according to an SEC filing.

    Shares of Twitter were up by just under 1% in the early morning hours on Tuesday, selling for slightly more than $38 a share – well below the $54.20 per share tender offer from Musk.

    The regulatory filing comes just days after Musk held a virtual, all-hands meeting with Twitter employees — the latest sign that the world’s richest man is serious about following through on his acquisition plans.

    Last month, Musk said he was putting the deal “on hold” pending a review of Twitter’s policies as it relates to bots and spam accounts.

    Musk threatened to cancel the deal unless Twitter offered definitive proof that less than 5% of its daily users are spam and bot accounts.

    In recent statements, Musk said that he estimated that as much as 20% of Twitter’s 229 million users are spambots – four times the figure touted by the company.

    In a filing with the SEC on Tuesday detailing a letter to investors, Twitter’s board of directors said that it “unanimously recommends that you vote (for) the adoption of the merger agreement.”

    If the deal were to close now, investors in the company would pocket a profit of $15.22 for each share they own.

    Jack Dorsey, the co-founder of Twitter who stepped down as CEO last year, stands to pocket $978 million once Musk’s takeover is complete.

    Parag Agrawal, the current chief executive of the San Francisco-based tech giant, will go home with a $42 million payday as a result of the transaction.

    Dorsey owns 2.4% of the company, which translates into 18,042,428 shares, according to SEC filings.

    Agrawal, the former chief technology officer who succeeded Dorsey as CEO late last year, would be due to receive a payout of $42 million while another Twitter executive, CFO Ned Segal, would go home with a $25.5 million pay package.

    Agrawal and Segal’s payouts would be triggered by a so-called “change in control” clause in their contracts which kicks in if either of them is terminated within 12 months of new ownership assuming the helm of the company.

    The plan is already complete since the right already thinks he is some sort of savior just like they believe - believed in Trump. They can block whoever they want and unless it is in a headline associated with Musk, normies will believe the lie.

    If you're conservative, then you should know the world does need another savior, it already has One, and that's the only Savior that anybody needs.

    For all I know, Musk could be the most evil person to have ever lived. It's really beside the point. The point is that Twitter is part of another evil system that is certainly the most evil system to have ever existed... it easily fulfills 90+% of the prophecies of the Beast System of Daniel and Revelation. They're sincerely furious with Musk (and Trump) -- so it's at least a hellhound-versus-hellhound fight. And if Satan does indeed begin to oppose Satan, that is a sign of the dawning of Revelation and true deliverance from this evil world. Or, perhaps Musk and Trump are misunderstood, or working undercover on God's behalf (yes, that's a real thing), and so on. We just don't know.

    But all of this Orange Man Bad, Space Man Bad crap is just transparent rah-rah-GOP fearmongering....
