Some men use their wealth for evil.
George Soros uses his wealth to elect District Attorneys that refuse to prosecute criminals causing crime waves in big cities. He uses his wealth to elect Mayors that defund the police. He uses his wealth for the destruction of America.
Some men use their wealth for good.
Elon Musk believes in free speech. He is putting his money up to make it happen.
Elon Musk said about Twitter;
“I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy.”
Last week the multi-billionaire Musk had purchased a significant amount of Twitter stock and got himself on the Board of Directors. He made it clear he wanted changes to the organization. He wanted it to be a platform of free speech, not the divisive platform of censorship for the far-left woke mobs that it has become.
The Board of Twitter quickly pushed back and said, “Trump will never be allowed back on Twitter.”
Mr. Musk then learned that if sitting on the Board of Directors he would be limited to owning less than 15% of the company. He would not have enough influence to make the changes he wanted. So he stepped down from the Board.
Today, April 14, 2022, Elon Musk announced he is offering a full buy-out of Twitter for $54.20 a share in cash, or $43 Billion.
“My strong intuitive sense is that having a public platform that is maximally trusted and broadly inclusive is extremely important to the future of civilization.”
“I don’t care about the economics at all,” Musk said of his offer.
Now THAT is putting your money where your mouth is.
Mr. Musk is an open proponent of free speech and openly against the Woke cancel culture.
I pray for the success of his efforts.
