| Biden Scares America, Media Sweats Elon Musk |
| 2022-04-12 |
| [SPECTATOR.ORG] It is now impossible to ignore our president’s cognitive decline. Public opinion polls indicate that most voters doubt his mental capacity to carry out his duties, and his public effusions confirm the accuracy of that assessment. Since his bizarre State of the Union address, Biden’s utterances have become less and less lucid and his few coherent statements are terrifying. He has called for regime change in a country with a huge nuclear arsenal and denounced its president as a war criminal. Yet the corporate media are generally sanguine about Biden’s verbal incontinence. Indeed, they have applauded it. So, what would frighten the Fourth Estate? Elon Musk on Twitter’s board of directors. Musk was invited to join the Twitter board after he bought a 9.2 percent stake in the company, making him its largest shareholder. He was initially welcomed by co-founder Jack Dorsey and CEO Parag Agrawal, but this did not allay media fears. At NBC’s "Think," Kara Alaimo fretted, "As we head into another election cycle and are still dealing with Covid, his record of spreading misinformation on the social media platform is worrisome." At the Washington Post, Ellen K. Pao revealed the actual issue in a column titled, "Elon Musk’s vision of ’free speech’ will be bad for Twitter." Take note that she invariably encloses free speech in scare quotes. "Spreading dis and misinformation is OUR job!" She huffed. |

| #2 Note: By declining a Board of Director's seat. He can purchase more Twitter Stock than the 14?% cap I have heard was for Board members. Currently, he has declared 9.2%. As it stands today, if he were on the board he could be overruled by the other 2 big shareholders on any motion. Twitter got to be where it is at by the allowances of the existing Twitter Board member's directions. |
