It's that time.

Time, time, time.

Lock and load.

The Michael Verishow is on the air.

It's easy to overlook what happened with Twitter.

Twitter are about 15 years old.

This site became the exchange where writers and columnists and hosts and television stations and politicians all interacted.

It became the town square for the influence makers.

So if you could control the town square and turn the mic on and off at will,

it would give you an incredible power because Twitter became more powerful in many ways than the New York Times, the Washington Post, Fox News, you name it.

And the FBI began using Twitter in a back channel conversation to silence any opinion they didn't like.

But what nobody expected is this multi bazillionaire billionaire Elon Musk went in and bought Twitter for $44 billion to basically be the whistleblower of what was happening with Twitter and in this country.

I don't know that anybody else could have done this and I certainly don't think anybody else would have done this.

So when Musk buys Twitter, the media lost their mind.

Elon Stalin is taking over.

I don't think we actually want and anything goes Twitter.

This affects all of us in terms of misinformation.

How will this change our lives?

And when he says open it up to free speech, does that allow more misinformation on the platform?

One concern critics have, Musk's goal of bolstering free speech on Twitter.

He can, in theory, rewrite all of those rules.

You know, when I refer to laws about hate speech and about pornography on platforms, you know, there's not a law that forbids Twitter from having Donald Trump on.
