Bezos launches China conspiracy theory after Musk buys Twitter

Bezos and Musk have been taking shots at one another for years


Amazon founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos on Monday mulled whether China has gained leverage over what happens on Twitter now that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has secured a $44 billion deal with the social media company.

"Interesting question. Did the Chinese government just gain a bit of leverage of the town square?" Bezos tweeted in response to a New York Times reporter who noted Tesla’s reliance on China for its large market and lithium batteries.

Hollywood reacts to Elon Musk's Twitter purchase


Rob "Meathead" Reiner took to Twitter on Monday morning and wrote, "Now that Elon Musk is buying Twitter, the question for all of us is: Will he allow a Criminal who used this platform to lie and spread disinformation to try to overthrow the US Government to return and continue his Criminal activity? And if he does, how do we combat it?"

Ice Cube was another star rejoicing in Musk's takeover and tweeted, "Free at last! @elonmusk take off my shadow ban homie..."

Leftists Worried Elon Musk Will Turn Twitter Into A Place Where Terrible People Post Bad Opinions And Fight With Each Other All The Time



U.S.—As Elon Musk inches closer to a deal to purchase Twitter, Leftists on the platform are worried the eccentric billionaire will turn the platform into a place where terrible people post bad opinions and fight with each other all the time.

"I'm worried Elon will turn Twitter into an awful place, where people say mean things. Can you imagine?!" said Twitter user Xander Piddlewonk.

"He may even bring back... DONALD TRUMP! REEEEEEEE!" cried Piddlewonk before tearing at his clothing and diving out of a nearby window.

☕️ Coffee & Covid ☙ Tuesday, April 26, 2022 ☙ FREE BIRD 🦠




🔥🔥🔥 Shocking most reporters who thought Musk’s offer to buy Twitter would be undermined or torpedoed or regulated into oblivion, the board of directors accepted Musk’s offer yesterday and, apart from some unlikely contingencies, Musk will become the new owner of the platform. Following the announcement, things on Twitter immediately started changing and the platform LIT UP.

The first change was news that the company had locked its software code down, so that disgruntled employees couldn’t sabotage anything by making stealth changes to the algorithms. Then throughout the afternoon, existing conservative users began to report their follower numbers jumping. Even though I’m just a small bird in the Twitter forest, mine increased by 10% within a few hours. Apparently Twitter had been suppressing the growth of my account; and if they’d flagged MY little account, it must have been extremely widespread.

By this morning, Twitter was ON FIRE; a whole bunch of long-banned accounts were newly restored. I first noticed Dr. Robert Malone’s announcement, “I’m back!,” quickly followed by “Are we not spelling it 👁️verm%ktin anymore?” Tucker Carlson popped back into my feed, along with LibsOfTikTok, Michael Caine, and lots of others.


On the other side, lefty twitter celebrities like David Hogg were reporting LOSING followers, which I’m guessing represents the ending of Twitter’s artificial promotion of those accounts with bots or fake followers. Other leftwing users were rage-quitting twitter, posting lengthy uncensored jeremiads about losing their free speech, if you can believe that. Conservatives started having a field day tweeting things that would’ve gotten them perma-banned the day before, like “vaccines cause many side effects including death,” and “J6 was not an insurrection.”

Folks, this is more pandemic blessings. Musk’s companies were shut down in California during the early pandemic, even though Tesla met the official state definition of an “essential service,” since it was an energy-related company. After an ugly spat with county officials, Musk moved his companies to Texas during the Great Migration last year. So, he knows how insane and wrong-headed the government covid overreach was.

Covid “misinformation” became the excuse for Twitter to crack down on speech on the platform. First, it was the posts and writers who questioned the “official” Covid narrative. Then it was vaccine information, particularly anything questioning whether the jabs were 100% safe and effective. Those government-approved filters then metastasized into political censorship, banning discussion of issues like Hunter Biden’s laptop or whether Lia Thomas was really a man, with those topics joining the ever-expanding definition of banned “misinformation.”

I'd be way more worried about Bezos selling us out to China than I am about Musk.


I half-suspect that every time someone in the USA says "Alexa....", someone in a data collection unit in China grabs a pencil.
