As Twitchy reported earlier Tuesday, the editor of the Financial Times had a bit of a meltdown of Elon Musk's ownership of X. "Democracies can no longer ignore this," whined Edward Luce. Ignore what, freedom of speech? I know sadly that the United Kingdom and Europe are cracking down on speech — especially criticism of migrants who have no intention of assimilating into the culture. It shouldn't have to be said, but Musk is free to say whatever he wants on his own social media platform. They're just mad because Joe Biden voter Musk has become based, blaming progressives for moving so far left that he's now flirting with the right.
Coincidentally, there was another crybaby Monday going on about what to do about Musk. The BBC's David Aaronovitch says that the United Kingdom has to "think seriously" about how to respond to Musk … posting what he thinks, which is that the U.K. has a two-tiered justice system: one for native Britons and one for migrants.
It's pretty obvious that Elon Musk exercises immense power and uses it with complete irresponsibility. He is accountable to no one, it seems. We need to think seriously about how we as a country respond

I'm on Twitter all day every day and I'm just not seeing the takeover of X by Nazis — there are plenty of progressives on there saying stupid things, which keeps me busy.
But how "we as a country respond"? What the hell? As we've reported, Brits are already being arrested over "offensive" Facebook posts. What sort of national response was Aaronovitch thinking of? Is Britain going to ban X? Feel free.
As Musk pointed out to the Financial Times editor, you can't say that X is dying because of his purchase of Twitter while at the same time calling it the “largest and most influential platform."

I'm so thankful for X for freeing us from getting all of our information filtered through cable news outlets and the big newspapers. I can't imagine having to go back to relying on cable news for the events of the day.
State-funded BBC Radio journalist David Aaronovitch says that the British government needs to consider a response to Elon Musk, who has remarked upon the country’s dystopian system of two-tiered policing, and voiced alarm at the attacks on white British citizens by migrants.… pic.twitter.com/nkaCJP8Peo

You realize he owns this platform

Jealousy oozing from every toxic pore in your authoritarian little nine-year-old, foot stamping, shorts clad, school monitor’s uniform!

The @BBC exercises immense power and uses it to excuse grooming gangs, promote anti-semitism, demonize the British working class, & encourage Jihadist immigration.

Try looking in the mirror, for once.

Yep, same dude.
Weeks ago, Aaronovitch called on the Biden administration to “have Trump m*rdered” because he saw Trump as a “threat to America’s security.” pic.twitter.com/jS6KDjHSBK

If Elon would have decided to not buy X, we would be screwed. Everyone would be screwed.

His country will probably respond by crying more and giving up whatever rights they have left.

As I've said, I traveled to London in 2001 and would love to go back, but I've been assured it wouldn't be the same city I visited then, and that's a shame. Unchecked migration is destroying Europe, and the woke like Aaronovitch just can't admit it.
Suck on this:
