“So, here’s my question: If you’re trying to create equality on Twitter, why charge anyone to be verified? Just give everyone a blue checkmark then,” he said.
Noah admitted that he understands that Musk wants to make money, so at least he has some grasp of the capitalism involved in running a company like Twitter. But the comedian also revealed that he, like far too many on the left, doesn’t understand the free speech concerns that conservatives have.
“I think this $8 a month thing is ridiculous,” he ranted. “If you ask me, if Elon Musk wants to make money from Twitter, what he should do [is], don’t charge people for blue checkmarks. Charge white people to say the N-word. Twitter will be the most profitable company in history. Racists will be taking out loans.”
And there you go! It didn’t take long for Noah to take the conversation about free speech where the left always takes it: to the craziest extreme. To the left, when conservatives talk about free speech, it naturally means that we want racists to be able to spew their hatred anywhere and everywhere.

This morning, radio talk show host Jesse Kelly tweeted about the upcoming elections.
This is an opinion. You don’t have to like it, but opinions can’t, by definition, be misleading. They can be ill-informed; they can be nonsensical, but they can’t be misleading. Making it impossible to reply to, share, or like a tweet containing an opinion is not the way a free society handles ideas. We went through this with the opinions about the Russia Hoax that Robert Mueller perpetrated on the country. We went through this during the COVID “pandemic” on the likelihood of the virus originating in a lab leak and the efficacy of the Covid vaccine, mask wear, and lockdowns. I might add that Twitter was on the wrong side of the truth on all these issues.
For the record, I think the overwhelming body of evidence indicates this is precisely the case. There is no excuse for any state election apparatus to fail to produce a winner on election night (night being defined as the dawn on Wednesday). I’ve served as a chief judge at a precinct in Maryland for nearly 20 years, so I have a bit of experience in this matter.

‘Extremely Messed Up’: Elon Musk Blasts ‘Activist Groups’ For Pushing Advertisers To Ditch Twitter, Destroy ‘Free Speech In America’
“Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists,” Musk remarked on the platform. “Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.”
Indeed, a number of leftist-aligned organizations, including Media Matters for America, the NAACP, the National Center for Transgender Equality, and the Union of Concerned Scientists, recently wrote a letter to the executives of major advertisers, calling on them to “cease all advertising” if Musk backs down from content moderation.
“Not only are extremists celebrating Musk’s takeover of Twitter, they are seeing it as a new opportunity to post the most abusive, harassing, and racist language and imagery,” the organizations alleged. “This includes clear threats of violence against people with whom they disagree. Without deliberate efforts by Twitter to address this type of abuse and hate, your brands will be actively supporting accelerating extremism.”
Elon Musk Acknowledges Left-Wing Censorship Machine Has It Out For Conservatives
The world’s richest man has been making adjustments to the social media platform and has repeatedly solicited advice from prominent users. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton noted to the multi-billionaire that the left has government agencies, the legacy media, and nongovernmental organizations “focused like a laser” on pressuring Big Tech companies to suppress and censor online speech, while conservatives only “have a few social media accounts and a handful of groups” fighting for free expression.
Musk replied to the social media post by admitting, “That assessment is more accurate than most people realize.”
Judicial Watch’s YouTube channel was suspended for a week after they posted a video about alleged threats to national security posed by President Joe Biden. YouTube, which is owned by Google, claimed that Judicial Watch was spreading “election misinformation.”
Twitter employees around the world received blunt termination notices that differed on details, leaving workers 'in limbo'
That differing communication has triggered another wave of confusion, according to numerous messages between former employees seen by Insider.
"Again, we're in limbo," a person affected by the layoffs said.
People working in Europe, India, Singapore, New York, and California, for example, all received notes about being laid off that appeared to be written to comply with each region's labor laws.
People in New York are expected to be offered three months of severance, according to notes sent to people there, while people in California will receive two months of severance. According to state laws, covered under Worker Adjustment and Relocation Notification regulations, workers in California are required to be given 60 days of notice of a mass layoff or equal severance. In New York, it's 90 days.
Meanwhile in Europe, which has more stringent labor laws that often require employers to negotiate with employees being laid off, Twitter workers received boilerplate emails that said, "Your role at Twitter has been identified as potentially impacted or at risk of redundancy." What, if any, severance these employees would be paid was still being worked out, the emails added.
Hello,
As shared earlier today, Twitter is conducting a workforce reduction to help improve the health of the company. These decisions are never easy and it is with regret that we write to inform you that your role at Twitter has been impacted.
Today is your last working day at the company, however, you will remain employed by Twitter and will receive compensation and benefits through your separation date of February 2, 2023.
During this time, you will be on a Non-Working Notice period and your access to Twitter systems will be deactivated. While you are not expected to work during the Non-Working Notice period, you are still required to comply with all company policies, including the Employee Playbook and Code of Conduct.
Within a week, you will receive details of your severance offer, financial resources extending beyond your Non-Working Notice period. At that time you will also receive a Separation Agreement and Release of Claims and other offboarding information, such as how to return your Twitter materials (computer, badge, etc.).
Attached is an FAQ which aims to address a number of questions you may have. If your questions are not answered in the FAQ, you can reach out via [redacted]@twitter.com.
We remain grateful for all that you have done for Twitter throughout your tenure and wish you only the best in your next chapter.
Thank you.

So much for the California lawsuit about no 60 day notice

Twitter advertiser boycott organized by dark money Soros, Clinton, and foreign networks
https://twitter.com/JGo4Justice/status/1588274907544068096
Accountable Tech is financed by The North Fund, a D.C. nonprofit that is controlled by Arabella Advisors. Yes, there are multiple levels of confusion and separation, and this is on purpose. But the relevant outfit here is Arabella Advisors.
“Arabella” is a for-profit “philanthropic consulting company” founded by Clinton confidant Eric Kessler. Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Jesse Lehrich, another Clinton network operative, is a co-founder of Accountable Tech. The organization also employs former Clinton campaign operative Zach Praiss as its digital director.
Arabella is considered the leading “dark money” political outfit in the United States. Yes, it’s much bigger and much more influential than the highly publicized “Koch Network.”
The Arabella network shields the sources of its funding by funneling its cash and political expenditures through 501c4 non profits. However, its for-profit outfit brought in $1.7 billion in 2020, and spent $1.2 billion on the 2020 election cycle.
Through its subsidiaries, Arabella has dumped hundreds of millions of dollars into projects such as fighting the Kavanaugh nomination and impeaching President Donald Trump. They’ve also financed the “NeverTrump” political advocacy of progressive war activist Bill Kristol.

I'm curious how he decided who would be let go. He doesn't personally know 99% of the staff around the world. The people he might depend on to provide insight within Twitter might be biased, and might be ones to be terminated anyway, making their 'help' kinda worthless.

Musk Warns Of ‘Thermonuclear’ War Against Companies Caving To Far-Left Boycott Demands
A number of leftist-aligned organizations, including Media Matters for America, the NAACP, the National Center for Transgender Equality, and the Union of Concerned Scientists, recently wrote a letter to the executives of major advertisers, calling on them to “cease all advertising” if Musk backs down from content moderation.

Without deliberate efforts by Twitter to address this type of abuse and hate, your brands will be actively supporting accelerating extremism.”
A number of large corporations, including Pfizer, Volkswagen, Mondelez International, and General Mills have temporarily paused their Twitter advertising, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal, while legacy car manufacturers GM and Ford were among the first companies to freeze advertisements on the platform, according to another report from Forbes. Both firms are entering the electric vehicle space against two-decade-old market leader Tesla, which is presently the world’s most valuable car brand. The former companies have received a number of special favors from President Joe Biden, who has also snubbed Tesla.
