Musk Doesn't Blink as Groups Backed by Soros, Former Clinton Operatives Target His Twitter Effort

Shortly after the
word came through that Elon Musk had reached a deal to buy Twitter, the liberal think tank Open Markets
Institute tried to appeal to the FCC, the FTC, and the Justice Department to
block it. Open Markets Institute is in
part funded by George Soros.
The House GOP is
asking questions about why they are trying to block the deal and what’s going
on here.
That effort to
block the deal hasn’t seemed to work. FCC commissioners Brendan Carr and
Nathan Simington declared they wouldn’t block the deal. Simington said that
not only wouldn’t it be bad, that it would likely enhance free speech.
“The FCC cannot,
and should not, block this sale. We should instead applaud Mr. Musk for doing
something about a serious problem that government has so far failed to
address,” Simington said, adding: “as this experiment is clearly lawful, I for
one look forward to seeing what comes of it.”
So if the deal
can’t be stopped, what’s the next option for the left? Try to make Twitter
non-profitable and destroy it as an investment for Musk.
Now, there is an
effort afoot to urge major corporations to boycott Twitter if Musk takes over
and tries to uphold free speech. A letter
from leftist NGOs was sent out to a variety of advertisers
urging a boycott.
Musk taking
control of Twitter means advertising on the platform “risks
association with a platform amplifying hate, extremism, health misinformation,
and conspiracy theorists,” the letter said.
“Under Musk’s
management, Twitter risks becoming a cesspool of misinformation, with your
brand attached, polluting our information ecosystem in a time where trust in
institutions and news media is already at an all-time low,” the letter added.
“Your ad dollars
can either fund Musk’s vanity project or hold him to account. We call on you to
demand Musk uphold these basic standards of community trust and safety, and to
pull your advertising spending from Twitter if they are not.”
The document’s
letterhead includes the logos of three organizations — Accountable Tech, Media Matters for America, and UltraViolet.
Accountable
Tech is a Washington, DC-based organization linked to top Democrats. Jesse
Lehrich, a co-founder, once served as a spokesperson for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. He is also the nephew of former Obama
adviser David
Axelrod.
Media Matters
for America is an organization founded by political operative and Clinton
backer David
Brock. MMFA is a site
“dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting
conservative misinformation in the U.S. media.”
UltraViolet is
a feminist movement that is “mobilized to fight sexism and create a more
inclusive world that accurately represents all women, from politics and
government to media and pop culture.”
Other
signatories, like Access Now, have the support of the Canadian and European
governments as well as Soros, the billionaire financier who heads the Open Society Foundations.
Black Lives
Matter Global Network Foundation took time out from their scandals to also sign
aboard. Fox Business also notes that the AFT and
the NEA are behind some of the funding for some of the groups.
Musk’s response?
He’s not backing down, he’s throwing down.
“Who funds these
organizations who want to control your access to information? Let’s
investigate…,” he declared. “Sunlight is the best disinfectant.”
He then even put
George Soros on notice, daring him, “George, please slide into my DMs!”
I have to say in the face of a storm against him, this guy not only holds firm, but he fights back and has some kind of cojones to tease Soros as well. He’s already shown that he’s not afraid to call out NBC when one of their hosts, Medhi Hasan tried to smear him and the GOP Musk raised a lot of NBC’s questionable actions. He’s showing that not only is he unafraid, but he’s committed to the effort. Grab all the popcorn, because it’s something to see someone taking such a brave stand for speech.
