Elon Musk just can’t seem to stop winning over the hearts and minds of the right.

The owner of X (formerly Twitter) has taken a stand against cancel culture after announcing that he will pay the legal fees of people who were fired for their activity on Twitter.

In a tweet this past weekend, Musk wrote: “If you were unfairly treated by your employer due to posting or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill. No limit. Please let us know.”

“And we won’t just sue,” Elon added. “It will be extremely loud and we will go after the boards of directors of the companies too.”

“Them sound like fighting words to me,” Sara Gonzales, BlazeTV host of "The News & Why It Matters," comments.

The announcement came just hours after 25-year-old NASCAR driver Noah Gragson was indefinitely suspended for liking a meme about George Floyd on social media.

While this is great news for conservatives everywhere, as they received the brunt of the censorship the past few years, Jason Buttrill notes this doesn’t account for all those who can’t get hired in light of their beliefs.

“There’s got to be like a list somewhere,” Buttrill says, “that says these are the people that are, you know, will not hire.”

While in general, Elon’s move appears to be a good thing, Buttrill also notes that the government was behind the censorship of social media posts and that members of the government are still pushing for more.

Ilhan Omar is one of these government officials.

According to Buttrill, the Minnesota representative recently said there need to be procedures and policies that clamp down on the online radicalization of white men.

Matt Gaetz hit a breaking point with DC corruption

Congressman Matt Gaetz is fed up with the way our system works, and he sat down with Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" to talk about it.

Gaetz says, “I’m tired of the way this place works. I think it’s deeply corrupt. I think the lobbyists run the show most of the times. I think people are more interested in servicing their Pac fundraiser than they are the needs of their constituents, and it’s a grift game.”

He goes on to say that despite the effort Republicans have put into creating change, all they have created is a “tool kit,” which isn’t good enough.

He says, “If all we do is admire the tools and talk about how great it was that we got the tools and what a negotiation delivered the tools to the tool kit and we don’t use them, then we are a part of the fraudulent system that screws people over.”

But according to Gaetz, the Republicans face an uphill battle.

“You know we face exquisite headwinds. The censorship-industrial complex is real,” he warns.

He explains that they’re trying to “expose that censorship-industrial complex — to haul the people forward that really are the puppet masters that engage in the shadow-banning and the programming of the mainstream media and the government threats to big tech that shape what people see and what they believe.”

While it’s not easy, the opposition isn’t much of a worthy challenger to this mission.

Gaetz jokes that “the left is somewhere between like a nursing home escape and a carnival freak show, and so we’ve got a lot of running room.”

Rep. Nancy Mace corners ex-Twitter exec with just one question for censoring medical experts during COVID-19 pandemic

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) used just one question on Wednesday to expose the absurdity of Twitter censoring medical experts who did not support the approved narrative on COVID-19 and the COVID vaccines.

During a House Oversight Committee hearing with former Twitter executives, Mace grilled Vijaya Gadde — the former general counsel and head of legal, policy, and trust at Twitter — on her justification for censoring medical experts, like Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford medical professor who was critical of COVID-19 lockdowns.

"Where did you go to medical school?" Mace confronted.

"I did not go to medical school," Gadde conceded.

"That's what I thought," Mace shot back. "Why do you think you or anyone else at Twitter had the medical expertise to censor a doctor's expert opinion?"

When Gadde said Twitter's policies, which penalized or censored anyone who bucked the government narrative, were designed to "protect individuals," Mace highlighted the amateurish nature of such policies.

"You guys censored Harvard-educated doctors, Stanford-educated doctors — doctors that are educated in the best places in the world, and you silenced those voices," she interjected.

\u201cTwitter exec explains the medical training that qualified her to censor Harvard + Stanford MDs who questioned the official COVID narrative.\u201d
— Robert F. Kennedy Jr (@Robert F. Kennedy Jr) 1675883022

Indeed, one of the looming questions raised when social media companies began taking action against contrarian voices during the height of the pandemic and rollout of the vaccines was how big tech companies could make judgements against bona fide experts without weighing their perspective in the same manner that happens in the scholarly world.

Because in the real world, the concerns of Dr. Bhattacharya, whose blacklisting from Twitter was revealed after Elon Musk acquired the platform, would be considered seriously by his scholarly colleagues, even if his thesis appeared prima facie absurd. Any serious interlocutor would engage him using actual data, thus either corroborating or refuting his hypothesis.

That is how scholarly dialogue works.

Anything else?

Before questioning Gadde, Mace revealed that she has experienced health problems that she believes stem from the COVID-19 vaccine because she only developed them after her second shot.

"I have effects from the vaccine. It wasn't the first shot, but it was the second shot that I now developed asthma that has never gone away since the second shot," she explained. "I have tremors in my left hand and I have the occasional heart pain that no doctor can explain.

"I have great regrets about getting the shot because of the health issues that I now have that I think are never going to go away," she admitted.

Elon Musk Invited Me to Twitter HQ & It's Worse Than You Can Imagine | Direct Message | Rubin Report

Elon Musk dissolves Twitter's censorship council

Twitter axed its so-called Trust and Safety Council on Monday night.

Leftist elements of the defunct council have denounced the move and joined the chorus of critics opposed to Twitter's apparent embrace of Elon Musk's "free speech absolutist" ideals.

The dissolution of the council comes just days after three of its members, including the niece of Biden official John Podesta, resigned, citing as partial cause their opposition to the restoration of banned accounts belonging to conservatives such as former President Donald Trump.

Thanks but no thanks

Trust and Safety Council members received an email signed "Twitter" on Monday that said, "As Twitter moves into a new phase, we are reevaluating how best to bring external insights into our product and policy development."

Evidently, the best way forward was without the meddling council's direct involvement.

The letter noted that Twitter will "continue to welcome your ideas going forward" and "will also continue to explore opportunities to provide focused and timely input into our work, whether through bilateral or small group meetings."

An archived version of the council's now-defunct "About" page describes the council as "a group of independent expert organizations from around the world. Together, they advocate for safety and advise us as we develop our products, programs, and rules."

The so-called expert groups that provided the council with counsel included the Anti-Defamation League, the LGBT activist group Black Rainbow, Feminist Frequency, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, Muslim Advocates, and the United Nations' Association for Progressive Communications.

The group's purported areas of focus included "Online Safety and Harassment, Human and Digital Rights, Suicide Prevention and Mental Health, Child Sexual Exploitation, and Dehumanization."

How dare he!

Alex Holmes, now a former member of the council and a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation advisory board member, took to Twitter to lament, writing, "Many of us have been in this space for a number of years, each with different expertise, but all with a passion to see healthy and diverse conversations and safety exist on platforms."

"The way this has unfolded and way members have been treated is unfortunate and unacceptable," Holmes added.

\u201cMany of us have been in this space for a number of years, each with different expertise, but all with a passion to see healthy and diverse conversations and safety exist on platforms.\n\nThe way this has unfolded and way members have been treated is unfortunate and unacceptable.\u201d

The Washington Post reported that the council was set to meet virtually to discuss recent developments when it learned that it had been disbanded.

Larry Magid, chief executive at the Silicon Valley nonprofit ConnectSafely, was on the board as of Monday. He told the Post, "By disbanding it, we got fired instead of quit."

Members Eirliani Abdul Rahman, Anne Collier, and Lesley Podesta saved Musk three emails by resigning last week, claiming "the safety and wellbeing of Twitter's users are on the decline."

Rahman alleged in a statement that slurs against black Americans and gay men jumped since Musk's takeover and that anti-Semitism was on the rise.

"Another red line for me was when previously banned accounts such as those on the far right, and those who had incited others to violence, such as then US President Donald Trump's, were reinstated," said Rahman.

While noting that the readmission of the former president and others amounted to unforgivable actions on the part of Twitter's leadership, the trio of quitters claimed that under Musk, Twitter was in danger of losing its reputation as "the platform where anyone could be heard."

In response to these resignations, Musk tweeted, "It is a crime that they refused to take action on child exploitation for years!"

Twitter founder Jack Dorsey suggested that the allegation that the Trust and Safety Council failed to take appropriate action to protect minors was false.

However, Musk doubled down, writing, "When Ella Irwin, who now runs Trust & Safety, joined Twitter earlier this year, almost no one was working on child safety. She raised this with Ned & Parag, but they rejected her staffing request."

\u201c@jack @Cernovich @annecollier @eirliani @podesta_lesley No, it is not. \n\nWhen Ella Irwin, who now runs Trust & Safety, joined Twitter earlier this year, almost no one was working on child safety.\n\nShe raised this with Ned & Parag, but they rejected her staffing request.\n\nI made it top priority immediately.\n\n@ellagirwin\u201d

Roth on the run

While some council members have gone online to complain, the former council head, Yoel Roth, has reportedly gone on the run.

The Washington Post reported that Roth fled his home on account of Musk drawing attention to his doctoral thesis.

Musk tweeted on Saturday, "Looks like Yoel is arguing in favor of children being able to access adult Internet services in his PhD thesis," adding, "This explains a lot."

\u201c@elizableu Looks like Yoel is arguing in favor of children being able to access adult Internet services in his PhD thesis:\u201d
— Eliza (@Eliza) 1670694731

In addition to erroneously claiming investigative journalists Matt Taibbi and Bari Weiss were conservatives and only later making a stealth edit, the Washington Post claimed Musk had "mischaracterized Roth's academic writing about sexual activity and children."

Even if the trust and safety council hadn't been disbanded, Roth still wouldn't be able to hit Musk with a misinformation label, given that he resigned back in November.

The 35-year-old penned an op-ed in the New York Times on Nov. 18, stating, "In my more than seven years at the company, we exposed government-backed troll farms meddling in elections, introduced tools for contextualizing dangerous misinformation, and, yes, banned President Donald Trump from the service."

Roth, who likened members of the Trump administration to Nazis, embraced the descriptor "custodians of the internet" and claimed the "work of online sanitation is unrelenting and contentious."

Online sanitation, for Roth, has involved taking input from the FBI and censoring the New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story, potentially impacting the 2020 election; de-platforming the democratically elected president of the United States; and censoring satire he personally did not find to be amusing.

Here is the former head of the now defunct Trust and Safety Council claiming that a satire site's conference of a fictitious "Man Of The Year" award to a biological man "is dangerous":

\u201cRoth defends the decision to ban @TheBabylonBee: "Not only is it not funny, it is dangerous" \n\nKara Swisher, no fan of the Babylon Bee, gently disagrees -- noting that the account was engaged in satire. "It's still misgendering," Roth insists\u201d

Twitter reinstates two esteemed doctors who had been banned for COVID 'misinformation'

Drs. Peter McCullough and Robert Malone were reinstated to Twitter Monday night. Both had been kicked off the platform for allegedly spreading misinformation and for challenging the establishment narrative concerning pharmaceutical responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The restoration of their accounts, which some critics reportedly have suggested will cause harm, comes amid a campaign under the social media platform's new leadership to ostensibly foster and protect free speech — an initiative once called into question by one of the former Twitter exiles.

What are the details?

Robert Malone, a biochemist involved in the invention of the mRNA vaccine platform, had his account banned late last December for "violating [Twitter] policy on spreading misleading and potentially harmful information related to COVID-19."

Upon learning of his ban, Malone, branded a "Covid Misinformation Star" by the New York Times, wrote on his Substack, "We all knew it would happen eventually. Today it did."

"Over a half million followers gone in a blink of an eye. That means I must have been on the mark, so to speak. ... It also means we lost a critical component in our fight to stop these vaccines being mandated for children and to stop the corruption in our governments, as well as the medical-industrial complex and pharmaceutical industries," Malone added.

The ban took place ahead of Malone's appearance on the "Joe Rogan Experience," which was entered into the congressional record by Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) after both YouTube and Twitter removed the interview from their platforms.

Malone suggested to Rogan that he might have prompted the final censorial response when he referenced on Twitter a "fantastic video" put out by the Canadian COVID Care Alliance group detailing alleged "malfeasance and data manipulations, misinterpretations associated with the Pfizer vaccines and their clinical trials," which he conceded may have been "interpreted as something that would cause people to become vaccine hesitant."

Cardiologist Peter McCullough is the former vice chief of internal medicine at Baylor University Medical Center, an author of roughly 677 medical publications in peer-reviewed journals, one of the world's most cited medical experts, and a medical practitioner who treated COVID-19 patients. He had his account permanently suspended on Oct. 6.

At the time, McCullough told the Falun Gong-run broadcaster NTD, "This is just another example of medical censorship by Big Tech on doctors who have the freedom, according to the First Amendment, to express their scientific views through freedom of speech."

Their reinstatements come after Twitter dissolved its Trust and Safety Council, first formed in 2016.

Back in the saddle

In his first tweet after reinstatement, McCullough wrote, "Alright everyone, I am back on Twitter! Let's see my verification and completely uncensored, no unfollow programs, no bots assigned to me, and absolutely no shadow-banning. Let the world hear the medical truth (98% want it) on the pandemic and more!"

McCullough proceeded to promote his socials and note that if Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who visited Twitter's headquarters on Saturday, had something to do with his "release" then he is "indebted."

After calling for other silenced medical professionals to be permitted back on Twitter, the cardiologist went on to tweet, "Since Twitter struck me down, I have come back even more powerful, more than @elonmusk can ever know! Let's join forces to break the psychological-pathological spell of the bio-pharmaceutical complex and get the world back on its axis!"

\u201cSince Twitter struck me down, I have come back even more powerful, more than @elonmusk can ever know! Let's join forces to break the psychological-pathological spell of the bio-pharmaceutical complex and get the world back on its axis!\u201d
— Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH\u2122 (@Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH\u2122) 1670942451

Upon his return, Malone similarly called for the restoration of other suspended doctors' accounts.

After retweeting a post accusing Dr. Anthony Fauci of causing "more harm to humanity than any other scientist in history," the biochemist also responded to critiques of his reinstatement, writing, "Well, there are still the usual Twitter trolls tossing old corporate media hit pieces and snark at me. What they do not know is that our lawsuit against the WaPo is progressing, and we are biding our time for many others including the Atlantic and the NYT. Truth is like a lion."

\u201cWell, there are still the usual Twitter trolls tossing old corporate media hit pieces and snark at me. What they do not know is that our lawsuit against the WaPo is progressing, and we are biding our time for many others including the Atlantic and the NYT. Truth is like a lion.\u201d
— Robert W Malone, MD (@Robert W Malone, MD) 1670942115

It is unclear whether Malone's reinstatement will affect his previous distrust for Twitter CEO Elon Musk.

Malone penned an opinion piece for LifeSite in October, suggesting that Elon Musk does not really care "about scientists' and conservatives' ability to interact on the social media app."

The biochemist accused Musk of seeking to "bring social media, banking, auto loans, Amazon type buying, insurance, paying loans and utility bills, medical insurance, service estimates, you name it, under the umbrella of Twitter. Everything you do, buy, or need could be bought on the Twitterverse. This is about power and money."

Alex Berenson claims Biden administration pressured Twitter to ban him, reveals damning evidence from lawsuit against big tech giant

Journalist Alex Berenson – an outspoken critic of the government's COVID-19 response – claimed that the Biden administration privately pressured Twitter to ban him from the social media platform.

In August 2021, Berenson was permanently suspended from the social media platform for alleged "repeated violations" of Twitter's COVID-19 misinformation rules. After being banned, Berenson launched a lawsuit against the social media giant.

Berenson said he obtained internal Slack messages of Twitter employees from the lawsuit.

The messages featured Twitter employees meeting with President Joe Biden's team in 2021. The Twitter employee said the White House's questions were "pointed," but "mercifully, we had answers."

One Twitter told another, "They had one really tough question about why Alex Berenson hasn't been kicked off the platform."

"They really wanted to know about Alex Berenson," read another screen capture of a conversation between Twitter employees. "Andy Slavitt suggested they had seen data viz [visualization] that had showed he was the epicenter of disinfo that radiated outwards to the persuadable public."

\u201cHey @ASlavitt, remember how you tried to use the power of the federal government to deplatform me?\n\nTime to lawyer up\u201d
— Alex Berenson (@Alex Berenson) 1660310234

At the time of the meeting, Andy Slavitt served as a senior White House COVID-19 adviser until he left the Biden administration in June 2021.

"According to an interview he gave to the Washington Post in June 2021, Slavitt worked directly with the most powerful officials in the federal government, including Ron Klain, President Biden’s chief of staff, and Biden himself," Berenson wrote on his Substack titled "Unreported Truths."

A Twitter employee said of Berenson's tweets, "I've taken a pretty close look at his account and I don’t think any of it’s violative."

Berenson wrote, "On July 16, 2021, President Biden complained publicly that social media companies were 'killing people' by encouraging vaccine hesitancy. A few hours after Biden’s comment, Twitter suspended my account for the first time."

Four months after the meeting, Berenson's Twitter account was permanently banned.

He was deplatformed for a tweet about the COVID-19 vaccine that read, "It doesn’t stop infection. Or transmission. Don’t think of it as a vaccine. Think of it – at best – as a therapeutic with a limited window of efficacy and terrible side effect profile that must be dosed IN ADVANCE OF ILLNESS. And we want to mandate it? Insanity."

Berenson and Twitter settled the lawsuit. Berenson was reinstated on Twitter in July. As part of the settlement, Twitter acknowledged that Berenson's tweets "should not have led to his suspension at that time."

Berenson wrote, "The documents contain other revelations, including emails showing that other reporters asked Twitter to take action against me; I will report on those in the future."

The former New York Times journalist told Fox News, "I hope and expect to have more information to report soon."

He threatened to hit Slavitt with a lawsuit.

Berenson tweeted on Saturday, "Crickets from Andy Slavitt to explain/apologize for his appearance as the Biden Administration’s Censor-in-Chief in the Twitter documents today. I guess he hasn’t been online! It’s okay, depositions will clear everything up."

Berenson asked Slavitt, "Remember how you tried to use the power of the federal government to deplatform me?" He added, "Time to lawyer up."

"This is state action and a violation of my First Amendment rights, period," Mr. Berenson wrote on Twitter. "Berenson v. Biden (and Slavitt), coming soon to a federal court near you."

In May, Berenson wrote an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal titled "My Lawsuit Will Shine a Light on Twitter Censorship."

"The White House began publicly pressuring social-media companies to censor vaccine skeptics," he wrote in the article. "A spokeswoman said officials were 'reviewing' whether companies could be held liable for 'misinformation' posted by users despite Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which courts have interpreted to give the companies near-complete immunity for decisions they make to allow or censor content."

"Censorship by these vastly powerful companies is antithetical to the advancement of science and basic democratic principles, both of which require open debate," Berenson argued. "But the companies and government have closely guarded the secrets of how they work together—including whether and how they target dissenters like me."

Horowitz: Thanks to federal judge, we will find out extent of government-sponsored Twitter censorship

Can Congress pass a law requiring that all platforms of speech censor any negative comment about Pfizer? “Well, of course not,” you will say, “it violates the First Amendment.” In that case, why should it be different when the executive branch works intimately with government-created and liability-protected monopolies to zap anyone’s Twitter account who is critical of Pfizer and its magical products? That is not free market or private enterprise; it is the worst form of fascism, and now a new federal court ruling might bring this point to life.

On Tuesday, a federal judge in Louisiana granted the request from the Louisiana and Missouri attorneys general for discovery to collect documents linking the Biden administration to social media censorship. Thanks to this important order, we might be able to discover the scope of collaboration between government and Twitter and Facebook to censor stories (and people) pertaining to the Hunter Biden laptop story, the origins of COVID-19, the efficacy of masks and lockdowns, and election integrity.

On May 5, Missouri AG Eric Schmitt and Louisiana AG Jeff Landry filed a First Amendment complaint against the Biden administration in the Western District of Louisiana alleging that the administration violated the Free Speech Clause by working with the tech giants to label all dissenting viewpoints on the aforementioned issues as “misinformation.” They alleged that this effort is being led by a “Disinformation Governance Board” (“DGB”) within the Department of Homeland Security.

In Judge Terry Doughty’s Tuesday order, he ruled that the states have standing to bring the claim and in an effort to buttress their request for an injunction against the federal collaboration in censoring private political views, they can request information from the Biden administration proving or disproving their allegations of collaboration with social media companies. The administration has 30 days to turn over the documents.

It’s already in the public sphere that the Biden administration has been leaning into social media censorship in numerous ways. Here are just a few examples:

In a March 15, 2020, email with Dr. Fauci, Facebooks’s Mark Zuckerberg proposed to coordinate with Fauci to “make sure people can get authoritative information from reliable sources” and proposed including a video message from Fauci because “people trust and want to hear from experts.” Remember, as a candidate running for president, Biden suggested that Facebook should be subject to liability for not censoring views he deemed harmful.
On May 5, 2021, former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki stated, “The president’s view is that the major platforms have a responsibility related to the health and safety of all Americans to stop amplifying untrustworthy content, disinformation, and misinformation.”
On July 15, Psaki went a step further and acknowledged the collaboration in private. “We are in regular touch with these social media platforms, and those engagements typically happen through members of our senior staff,” she revealed. “We’re flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation,” she added. This was a direct admission that what was going on behind the scenes was old-fashioned government censorship, which clearly violates the Constitution.
After that press conference, Facebook responded to the pressure by acknowledging that “the company has partnered with government experts … to take ‘aggressive action against misinformation about COVID-19.’”
The following day, Psaki took it to the next level by suggesting that the various social media companies should be collaborating with each other to ban anyone from all the platforms after being removed from one. “You shouldn’t be banned from one platform and not others … for providing misinformation out there,” she declared. This is also the same day Surgeon General Vivek Murthy posted a misinformation advisory laying out the parameters for social media platforms to censor information on COVID and its policies.
Then of course we all remember in February when the Biden administration directly called on Spotify to censor Joe Rogan for having doctors on his show who were successfully treating COVID.

Finally, let’s not forget that the White House singled out 12 private individuals to be targeted for censorship as the “disinformation dozen.” We also know that private emails released via FOIA revealed that the CDC Foundation worked with Facebook, Merck, the WHO, and other pharma entities on an “Alliance for Advancing Health Online” initiative to control the narrative.

Thus, it doesn’t take a genius to realize that there were likely some juicy conversations going on between the tech executives and the Biden administration, probably in concert with the pharma companies, to silence all opposition. When you have the president demanding such censorship and warning that the opposing viewpoints are “killing” people, the entire argument of “private” companies being able to do what they want goes out the window. As Justice Thomas wrote in a 2021 case, it is indeed a First Amendment violation “if the government coerces or induces it to take action the government itself would not be permitted to do, such as censor expression of a lawful viewpoint.”

Thankfully, it appears that this judge saw through the high-tech modern version of censorship for what it is – pure fascism.

While the legal dispute plays out in court, it’s time for conservatives in the legislatures to hit back at the RINO governors for continuing to act as if anything COVID-related – be it a vaccine or mask mandate – is somehow coming from the private sector. The government mandated it for some, censored opposing viewpoints, absolved pharma of liability, paid for the product, distributed it, and marketed it. The notion that private actors endorsing these policies is an exercise in free-market capitalism is absurd. It is the responsibility of the state to interpose against such tyranny by banning companies from joining in with the federal policies.

We saw this done very effectively when the Florida Department of Health recommended against the baby shots and refused to distribute them. Publix actually decided on its own to follow the guidance of Florida rather than the federal government. It demonstrates that so much of this enforcement in the private sector is being done with the federal boot on companies’ necks. Those Republicans who hide behind affinity for the “private” sector and free markets to allow federal tyranny, censorship, and persecution to continue are complicit in the worst form of fascism.

The fact that private monopolies get roped into government fascism doesn’t ameliorate the pig; it makes it even more dangerous.
