Our social media landscape is about to change, as the wealthiest man on earth has completed his buyout of Twitter.
With his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, Elon Musk has full control over this widely used microblogging social media platform with about 250 million daily active users.
What was the first thing he did? He tweeted "The Bird is Freed" and fired the top 5 management officials of the company.
And social media pundits all over the world have been speculating on the real intent of the multi-billionaire who owns Tesla and Space X. Most have painted a scenario where the once liberal-leaning Twitter will now be more politically balanced.
And I do hope that it is what Elon Musk really wants — to free Twitter of its liberal bias and make it a platform where everyone can genuinely express his opinion sans the threat of censorship via account deactivation or deletion.
It is quite ironic, really that in this social media milieu, censorship became more pronounced, and more than that, the censors are those from the liberals themselves who hypocritically proclaim themselves as advocates of freedom and democracy.
The disconnect is so amazing that one really must wonder what is it that these liberals really want. It's like they are so allergic to narratives and opinions that run counter to theirs, and they are automatically labeled as "fake news" or right-wing propaganda.
Imagine even banning the account of the former President of the United States Donald Trump because of his politics.
Here in our country, it's the same scenario where Twitter Philippines itself appears to be under the liberal (dilawan) cabal.
You can tell because what is pervasive and predominant in the local landscape is the Dilawan aka Kakampink narrative, including its vast army of bots and trolls.
Now with Elon at the helm, I am now more optimistic that Twitter will be a level playing field for all voices, and it can now truly reflect the diverse sentiment of humanity.
The world badly needs this equilibrium, moreso to put the brakes on that liberal, one-world elitism being espoused by the forces of evil.
And yes Maria Ressa, it is not pretenders and pseudo journo like you who owns the internet, and you have no rightful claim to it. So, stop your delusion. Seriously, stop it!
If there is one person who has every right to say that he wants to take back the internet, it is Elon Musk.
And we support him all the way!
Mark my word.
