Wow. Crazy move by the real life Tony Stark.

Still needs some allies on the board to really clean house.

Pfft - if you think censorship is going to end on Twitter just because Musk has a 10% stake in it, you're wrong.

Twitter went nowhere UNTIL it started censoring Trump. The purpose of these companies is to do censorship, not to allow communication or share knowledge. It's to limit it.

You had groups comparing what shots their kids had and what ailments they had - do you think parents were lying about their experiences? This stuff isn't allowed to be discussed, because it's pretty likely vaccines do in some cases cause diseases. Peanut allergy is (credibly) thought to be caused by vaccines that use peanut oil in them. Anybody know anybody that had a peanut allergy when you were kids? It was unheard of when I was a kid, that was 50 years ago.

I see his statement that he’s going to “be a silent partner” as misdirection. If the Left sees his Twitter stake as an imminent threat to their control of the discussion, they’ll pull out all the stops and go batshit crazy and fuck everything up. He said that to calm the leftists and not challenge them directly. What will be interesting to see are the changes that come to the board. I’ll bet Musk engineers some resignations and some appointments of friends. Then when the board composition is ready, Elon can really start making the pro-freedom changes that need to be made there. With Jack Dorsey out of the way, this is like any other publicly traded corporation, it can be changed from within by shareholder pressure. The CEO can be fired by a board that is newly composed of liberals instead of leftists. The employees can be internally weeded out. This can happen rather silently as well. And then they all wake up one day and Twitter is totally changed. That’s what I think is going to happen.

The latest news on peanut allergies was a theory I read that goes like this: if a baby gets exposed to a protein with allergic potential in a through the skin type way, and that happens BEFORE they are exposed by eating it, they’ve got a chance to develop an allergy.
Baby wipes are part of the problem because the soap on them renders their tender skin semi-permeable. Mom is making PB&J sandwiches for the other kids and hears the baby cry. She stops, doesn’t wash her hands (which have small amounts of peanut on them) and changes the baby. In that process she renders Junior’s butt skin permeable and then slaps on some peanut residue. His immune system recognizes the peanut protein as an invader and makes antibodies. The next time Junior gets exposed, he’s allergic.
