Now it’s the left that’s freaking out over a bid by Elon Musk — the son of a Saskatchewan-born dietitian who did a brief stint at Queen’s University before moving to the United States and becoming the world’s richest man — to buy Twitter for US$43 billion ($54 billion) and take it private.
Musk is a self-described “free speech absolutist” who thinks Twitter has the “potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe,” and believes “free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy.”
Liberals who love tweeting about how morally superior they are for driving a Tesla hate the idea that anyone could amass a US$260-billion fortune from selling them, and think it’s dangerous to allow people to challenge their woke worldview.
