The Democrats have a whole new problem on their hands; they just lost their favorite toy.
Elon Musk is going to purchase the social media company Twitter.
On October 4, 2022, Twitter Investor Relations’ social media account wrote, “Twitter issued this statement about today’s news: We received the letter from the Musk parties which they have filed with the SEC. The intention of the Company is to close the transaction at $54.20 per share.”

Liberal NBC reporter Ben Collins was freaking out, stating “it could actually affect” the midterms.
For those of you asking: Yes, I do think this site can and will change pretty dramatically if Musk gets full control over it.
No, there is no immediate replacement.
If it gets done early enough, based on the people he’s aligned with, yes, it could actually affect midterms.

The left knows they are losing control of their misinformation tool because Musk plans to take the company private and let people who have been canceled back on the platform, like former President Trump.
Collins is lamenting because the mainstream media’s “disinformation” bots are losing their ability to control the platform. The whinging coming from the left is like watching what happens when you take a toddler’s favorite toy away from them.
For several years now, moderation power over Big Tech platforms has been an addictive and powerful play toy for this class of media and NGO operative. Being able to manipulate what happens on these platforms has become a fundamental part of their professional identity and purpose
