Elon Musk STUNS hosts with brutally honest answer about the future of Twitter



On “The Rubin Report,” BlazeTV host Dave Rubin shared a video clip from Twitter CEO Elon Musk’s surprise appearance on the “All-In" podcast with hosts David Sacks, Chamath Palihapitiya, Jason Calacanis, and David Friedberg.

Asked about Dave Rubin's observation of the New York Times’ inflated follower counts on Twitter, Musk gave a brutally honest answer about what has been going on behind the scenes at the social media company, what his first six weeks as the CEO have been like, and what new features Twitter users can expect in the near future.

"It's been quite a roller coaster," Musk said. "But overall that seems to be going in a good direction, and, you know, we've got the expenses reasonably under control, so the company's not in the fast lane to bankruptcy anymore, and we're releasing features faster than ever in Twitter's history at the same time as having contained the costs, and we've reduced the cost structure by a factor of three, maybe four."

Musk went on to describe several of the new features to verify user identities and organization affiliations and to eliminate bots or inauthentic accounts. Later in the podcast, he shocked his hosts by stating that "almost every conspiracy theory that people had about Twitter turned out to be true" as they discussed the Twitter Files, a set of reports released to expose Twitter's alleged information suppression and collusion with government agencies prior to Musk's purchase of the company in October 2022.

\u201cElon Musk\n"To be totally frank, almost every conspiracy theory that people had about Twitter turned out to be true."\u201d

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer tweets 'kids are our future' less than two hours before tweet vowing to 'fight like hell to defend access to abortion'



Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued a tweet on Monday declaring that "kids are our future" followed less than two hours later by a post declaring that she "will fight like hell to defend access to abortion in Michigan."

"Our kids are our future — and I’m fighting for them. By closing the school funding gap and investing in public education, we’re giving our students the support they need to thrive," Whitmer declared in one tweet.

"As long as I'm governor, I will fight like hell to defend access to abortion in Michigan," the other tweet declared.

\u201cOur kids are our future \u2014 and I\u2019m fighting for them. By closing the school funding gap and investing in public education, we\u2019re giving our students the support they need to thrive.\u201d

The tweets posted to the governor's @gretchenwhitmer Twitter account highlight the fact that pro-choice proponents do not recognize unborn babies as distinct human individuals with a right to life.

"I want every Michigander to know that I am more determined than ever to protect access to safe, legal abortion. Now is the time to use every tool in our toolbox to protect women and reproductive health care," Whitmer declared in a statement earlier this year when responding to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. "I will fight like hell to protect every Michiganders' right to make decisions about their own body with the advice of a medical professional they trust. I will not give in or give up for my kids, your kids, and the future of our great state."

\u201cI want every Michigander to know that I am more determined than ever to protect access to safe, legal abortion.\n\nI'll never stop fighting. \n\nI'll never give up. \n\nFor my kids, your kids, and the future of our great state.\u201d

Whitmer, who took office in 2019, is currently running for reelection during the Wolverine State's 2022 gubernatorial contest. Republican candidate Tudor Dixon is challenging Whitmer for the job.

Democratic Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri has previously claimed that the Democratic Party is "pro-human rights" while advertising a series of events dubbed the "Roe the Vote: Reproductive Freedom Tour."

"I'm proud to announce the Roe The Vote: Reproductive Freedom Tour across Missouri! People everywhere need to know that Dems are the pro-human rights, pro-bodily autonomy, pro-reproductive justice party fighting to protect our fundamental rights! This is how we win," Bush tweeted last month.

\u201cI'm proud to announce the Roe The Vote: Reproductive Freedom Tour across Missouri!\n\nPeople everywhere need to know that Dems are the pro-human rights, pro-bodily autonomy, pro-reproductive justice party fighting to protect our fundamental rights!\n\nThis is how we win.\u201d

Last week, the left-wing Women's March movement issued a tweet declaring that it is not only pro-choice, but also "proudly, unapologetically pro-abortion."

\u201cWe're not just pro-choice.\n\nWe are proudly, unapologetically pro-abortion.\n\nRT if you agree.\u201d
