Newly crowned “Chief Twit” Elon Musk continues to put his stamp on Twitter after closing the $44 billion deal to acquire the social media giant last week, following up his ouster of top management by dissolving the company’s board, making him the “sole director” and setting the stage for what are expected to be sweeping changes.
News of the Twitter board’s dissolution was included in a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing dated October 27, 2022, the date that the deal became official and culminated with the SpaceX/Tesla CEO posting a video of himself striding into the lobby of the company’s San Francisco headquarters carrying a sink which he captioned “Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!”
According to the SEC filing, “On October 27, 2022, and as a result of the consummation of the Merger, Mr. Musk became the sole director of Twitter. In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, effective as of the effective time of the Merger, the following persons, who were directors of Twitter prior to the effective time of the Merger, are no longer directors of Twitter: Bret Taylor, Parag Agrawal, Omid Kordestani, David Rosenblatt, Martha Lane Fox, Patrick Pichette, Egon Durban, Fei-Fei Li and Mimi Alemayehou.”

Last Friday, Musk began the badly needed shakeup by firing the top two figures of the kingdom of censorship, CEO Parag Agrawal and legal policy, trust and safety head and chief censor Vijaya Gadde. Also sent packing were CFO Ned Segal and general counsel Sean Edgett, clearing the way for a new direction for the digital town square.
Musk hasn’t been at the helm for even a week and has made headlines on a daily basis, most notably with the idea to levy a $20 per month charge on the Star-Bellied Sneetches of Twitter, the elitist blue checks.

The news that many would now have to cough up a meager amount of coin in exchange for their privilege rankled many who took to the platform to whine about being made to fork over a small sum that isn’t exactly a budget buster to high-rolling leftist Twitter addicts.
One of those griping about having to shell out the money is multi-millionaire author Stephen King, a frequent contributor on political topics and a fierce critic of former President Donald J. Trump.
“$20 a month to keep my blue check? F**k that, they should pay me. If that gets instituted, I’m gone like Enron,” complained the “master of horror,” outing himself as a cheapskate in the process.

Musk also planted his flag with a brutal trolling of twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and a since-deleted tweet that infuriated leftists by suggesting that there was a “tiny possibility that there might be more to this story than meets the eye,” regarding the incident in which Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband was assaulted in the couple’s San Francisco mansion.
The “Chief Twit” has already made powerful enemies within the Democratic Party for his disrespect toward Mrs. Clinton and his desire to restore free speech to the platform.
Weasely Democrat Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut called for an investigation of Musk’s acquisition of Twitter due to Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal’s stake in the company, something that didn’t trigger any similar calls for political persecution when the company was still under the control of Democratic Party allies.
Today I am requesting the Committee on Foreign Investment — which reviews acquisitions of U.S. businesses by foreign buyers — to conduct an investigation into the national security implications of Saudi Arabia's purchase of Twitter.https://t.co/IDwnKGaxt7

Also taking aim at Musk was Deep State suckler Dean Obeidallah who regularly hosts some of the most fascistic former government officials on his SiriusXM radio show and who vowed to invest his personal time and effort into a witch hunt with the objective of revoking the South Africa-born billionaire’s citizenship.
“As a lawyer Im going to do research to see if @elonmusk in any way lied on his application for US citizenship. I’ll be making a FOIA request for his immigration application. If he lied anywhere on application we will move to strip him of US citizenship. Stay tuned,” vowed the unhinged Obeidallah.

He added, “Just so everyone knows the facts, while I did make a FOIA request for Elon Musk’s immigration application he has to consent to the request before I can get the docs. If he consents, I will share the file. If he refuses to consent then we must ask: What is Elon hiding?!”

Reactions to Musk are a sign that the Biden regime and its shock troops are about to declare war on him in a furious effort to thwart him from leveling the playing field by restoring free speech to a platform that has been the corrupt establishment’s greatest tool in controlling the narrative, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
