According to the left, Elon Musk only wants free speech on Twitter so he can help racists.

So we are in really, really rough economic waters right now.

Inflation is charting at 40-year highs.

That paper money in your wallet, it is losing value like the Russian ruble is losing value.

This would be an excellent time for you to diversify at least a little bit out of your stocks,

which are really failing right now, and into a tax-sheltered account with Birch gold.

I've been telling you, for over five years, you can buy gold from Birch-Gold.

It's a hedge against inflation and market uncertainty.

An ounce of gold today is worth $1,900.

It was worth $300 an ounce in 2000. And there's another way to hedge against inflation by silver from birch gold. Silver is also considered real money. Historically speaking, it's really undervalued. Right now, it's an industrial metal, high in demand, for everything, from electric cars to solar panels, and demand is only going to rise. Some analysts suggest there's an unusual dislocation in price that might present some real opportunities for silver to rally over the next couple of years. And again, silver like gold, never going to zero. So call Birch Gold, they're the company I trust with precious metals investing. Don't wait, start diversifying. Text Ben.

Elon Musk taking over Twitter has people very, very hot and bothered over on the left, including many of the people who work inside at Twitter.

So, the media, of course, very upset because their favorite playground, the place where they trade all of their insults for the right in an echo chamber protected by the algorithms

of Twitter, those are going to go away. Those algorithms are going to change. People might be

allowed to criticize them. People might tweet things they don't like, and those tweets might actually get attention. I will note that over the past 48 hours

since the announcement that Elon Musk was taking over Twitter, I've personally picked up something like

200,000 followers on Twitter, and my tweets are probably getting 10 times the exposure that they were

getting before. I would think that that has something to do, not with Elon Musk actually changing the algorithm, but with the sort of document shredding that is going on inside Twitter right now. The fear is that Elon Musk is going to come in. There will be some sort of truth and reconciliation commission where we finally learn who was shadow ban and whose traffic was being throttled and all the rest. And so now, all of a sudden, some of the limits are coming off. I would imagine that's one of the things that's happening. Twitter is lying about this, I think. They're saying that this is all organic. So the loss of followers for Taylor Swift and the consummate pickup of followers for people like me, that that's all organic, that right-wingers are joining the platform by the hundreds of thousands and left-wingers are leaving the platform by the hundreds of

I have serious doubts about that. I have more confidence that is algorithmic in nature.
