I'm saying perhaps they tried to make Twitter a less biased place, and even if they failed, perhaps they left behind some records that would be interesting for us to look at.
It is definitely not my statement. It was HB's.
I don't believe Elon is nuts. I never criticized his personal habits and I never would. I don't care if his nightstand has prop guns or anal beads. I just think he might be in over his head. Time will tell.
What was my statement?
You're the one who started down this train of how TV shows and movies get made. Finally you've explained why, and it's all based on you thinking I'm trying to criticize the few conservatives who work at Twitter, which I am not.
As you can see it kind of nuked the thread.
But at least you're trying to understand what I say. Can't say the same for guys like Sneakers.

It was an analogy.
I did not say you were trying to criticize the few conservatives at Twitter. Why would you say that?

So do you agree that maybe this limited number of conservative employees kept a paper trail on some of the biased decisions the liberal leadership made?

-trailer-park-simpleton]Elon Musk's Diet Coke tweet lights up internet: 'F---ing trailer park simpleton' | Fox News
Twitter CEO Elon Musk's Diet Coke tweet sparked strong reactions from liberals in the media on Tuesday, who found a deeper meaning behind the billionaire's favorite drink.
Musk tweeted out a picture of his bedside table with several Diet Coke cans, a pair of prop guns, a Buddhist symbol and a painting of George Washington crossing the Delaware River. But for some on the left, the soda was the most controversial item.
https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1597...U-MOXnnvqA
Musk has professed multiple times on Twitter that he enjoys the beverage. He followed up this picture by confessing "there's no excuse" for his "lack of coasters," and by calling himself "Elon Musket."
But some liberals reacted to the tweet by making cult comparisons and berating the CEO for having poor taste.
Hollywood composer Shawn Patterson crassly responded, "How shocking: the richest man on Earth is a 'f---ing trailer park simpleton."...
Writer Olivia Craighead declared that caffeine-free Coke was worse than "sh--, maggots, and scum," and "Ultimately, it is for freaks and losers, so it’s no surprise that Elon Musk apparently can’t get enough of the stuff."
Slate also mocked the picture as an "alarming" "self-own," while a writer for The Cut called the photo "absolutely terrifying."
If Musk is trailer trash, then most of his critics are homeless drug addicts living under interstate overpasses.
Btw, to reopen the can of worms being discussed by Mikey and HB... doesn't it say something about the way we view the left that we assume this internal discussion was being had between conservatives and liberals? What your implicitly stating is that you don't think liberals believe in free speech, which has become largely true. Personally, I think there are discussions that were had between liberals and progressives (there's a difference), and progressives won. There are some liberals who still have liberal values (Joe Rogan, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk... even Bill Maher), but they are being pushed out by progressive thought. I don't think this discussion you're having about conservatives is relative.
One of the reasons I am so frustrated with moderates is because they can't see what's happening to the party. That they are supporting a form of fascism and top-down rule because the left has gotten so good at creating boogeymen on the right. Elon Musk is not a conservative. Hell, Trump wasn't a conservative. These people are attacking establishment control of the narrative, and they do everything they can to bring them down. Moderates have to stop letting the left control the narrative, but I don't think they have the backbone to stick their necks out.

The lines are clearly drawn and everyone is aware of the sides. Technology has made moderate views left of center untenable. Either stand with the hard left or die by a thousand social media cuts that seek to undermine personal and professional relationships.
What is Odysee? Is it a YouTube rival?
Don't worry about it. I just googled it. It seems to be a good alternative to YouTube, just taking a quick look. I have been to Rumble, but the fact you have to sign in to read comments annoys me, so I don't go there.
It's really annoying how these places billing themselves as free speech platforms get the crazies in on the front end. It makes it harder for these companies to get successful because most of their content is too radical. Odysee actually a solid platform as I look at it. Needs diverse content.

Careful HB, he’s trying to make this about you now.

And what makes you so sure you're not one of the crazies?
LOL. I love how Elon Musk is driving democrats like Mikesez crazy (or crazier).
