Elon Musk and Twitter Purchase
Elon Musk is a South African, Canadian, U.S.
American physicist, inventor and financier, who is the richest person in the
world with a net worth of $220-280 billion, depending on stock prices.
Although he refuses to label himself politically,
and although he is mercurial, his actions over the long term indicate that he
leans Libertarian. He seems to be honest
and a straight shooter. He contributes
to both political parties, and supports and offends both democrats and
republicans equally. He seems to seek
and back the truth and free speech, a rarity in someone as wealthy as he is.
Musk did not become the richest person in the
world by making rash technological and business decisions. He has successfully started and developed
companies such as Paypal, Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Neuralink, Zip2,
OpenAI and Solar City. Elon Musk is reminiscent
of Thomas Edison for inventiveness and business acumen, and of Nicola Tesla for
his technological creativity and benevolence toward humanity. Musk’s naming his electric cars Tesla’s is no
coincidence.
Now he owns Twitter, and we laud him for his professions
regarding free speech. But as the old saying
goes, “money talks and BS walks”. Free
speech or not, Musk obviously considers freeing Twitter from the shackles of
left-wing censorship, a money-making proposition. Musk obviously believes that the truth will
sell and make money for Twitter/Musk. Let’s
hope he’s correct and he doesn’t end up flipping it.
