This Just In:

Elon Musk rocketed out a tweet at 12:12PM this afternoon, a thunderous roar heard throughout the world — the best thing to happen to free speech since the 1st Amendment.

Even better is Twitter will now be available to the world, in unadulterated, raw creative form — the way it should have been since its onset.

No more throttling. No more nepotism. No more canceling. No more shadow banning. No more banning, period. NO MORE BOTS. Every human shall have the right to express their opinions within the confines of the laws governing freedom of speech and expression.

Dare I say, welcome back, Donald Trump. Sure, the man pisses off people, but he has the right to, because he’s not breaking the laws regarding freedom of expression.

Same goes with anyone else with polarizing opinions. If you want to say something that offends someone else, by all means, go ahead. It’s your right.

“I’ll disagree with everything you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” — Evelyn Beatrice Hall

May this be the start of a trend moving in the direction of serving justice for all those who have been mistreated as a result of expressing unsavory opinions.
