Summary

The last time we saw a freak out of this magnitude, Donald Trump was elected President in 2016. From a looming mass exodus of Twitter employees to a feigned attempt to "leave" the social media platform, leftists are panicking as Elon Musk vows to bring free speech to Big Tech. Today, Liz breaks down why exactly the Left is responding as if it’s the end of times and exposes the fragile, but radical ideas they’re so afraid of you hearing when free speech reigns once again.

0:12.7	They're going bonkers.
0:13.7	This is like 10 out of 10 paranoia.
0:16.5	This is desperation to the extreme here.
0:20.8	And Elon Musk actually tweeted about this because in the wake and the 24 hours after he announced
0:25.6	or after Twitter announced their word had accepted his offer, the leftist blue check
0:29.8	marks on Twitter acted like this was the end of the world.
0:32.6	And Elon tweeted the extreme antibody reaction from those who fear free speech says it all.

0:42.2	I know he's not a conservative.
0:43.3	I don't know if he'll be able to buck the whole system, meaning I don't know if the deep
0:47.2	states and the democratic apparatus will be able to prevent him from being successful
0:52.7	in transforming or restoring Twitter into a platform for free speech.
0:57.6	I think if there's any single person in this country who's in a position to do that right
1:01.8	now, it's him because of this understanding that he understands that the left is panicked.
1:08.0	They're panicked because they actually are afraid not just of a disagreement with us,
1:13.6	right?
