Elon Musk is now the largest shareholder in Twitter and I'm going to talk about the implications for saving free speech.

A big win for Victor Orban in Hungary and I'm delighted about it. Why? Because it's a repudiation of the left's globalist agenda.

Radio host, Stacy Washington is going to join me. We're going to talk about her new book which is called Eternally Cancel Proof. It's about Christians and politics.

And we're going to continue our journey through Dante's Aporgotorio. This time meeting an interesting poet by the name of Sordello. This is the Dineshtisouza podcast.

Elon Musk has become the largest shareholder in Twitter. In fact, he's bought. It seems overnight a 9% stake in this public company Twitter. He now owns about 73.5 million shares.

His stake is worth close to $2.89 billion. By the way, that's not a lot of money for Elon Musk because he has something like $300 billion. This is money he's taking. Almost you can say out of his back pocket.

But it's caused a sensation at Twitter. The stock actually has served 25% by the way Twitter has been down some 50% roughly. Partly as people have recognized this is not really a free speech platform anymore.

It's lost a lot of its value and some of its spice. The interest in Twitter was you had people from different sides of the spectrum who were able to go back and forth. Some of that vibrant energy is no longer on Twitter.

The most vibrant energetic Twitter of all time Donald Trump is no longer on the Twitter platform. That alone I think is an absence that is felt on Twitter. Now, very interestingly with Elon Musk. Elon Musk has taken a passive stake by which he hasn't announced yet that he's trying to remake the company.

He's going to fire this parag-agarwal guy, the fellow that Jack Dorsey put in his place to be the CEO of Twitter. So, Musk is moving cautiously. At this stage, he merely owns a big stake and that means they're aware of him.

But he hasn't moved actively to affect the management of Twitter. But he could do that next. There's nothing to stop him from increasing his stake. And of course with increasing his stake, he would increase his influence.

And he's ready one of the programmers of Twitter. I saw on social media he's like, oh, this is terrifying. He goes, we've been working so hard to keep Twitter safe from bigots and we're working so hard to keep Twitter safe from doxxers and bad guys. And he goes, I resign. I'm out of here. So, to me, this is like fantastic news because it means that some of the termites are starting to leave the building.

And if I were Elon Musk, I would kind of get my fumigation equipment ready because you want to go on a major termite removal campaign. Twitter is basically full of termites.

And I'm finding it very amusing to watch the left as they reacted this because for a long time they were like, oh, you conservatives are just so hypocritical.

Twitter is a private company. Private companies can do whatever they want. And the moment that they hear that Elon Musk is like moving into the building, they go, Twitter is too important to be left in private hands.

So suddenly it's like, oh, Twitter's not going to become a government utility because it's no longer safe. So as long as their billionaires were in charge, as long as they were imposing their regimes of censorship, oh, it's a private company, leave it alone. Private companies have every right to do whatever they want.

Suddenly now it's a whole different tune. Now whenever you're dealing with these places that are that have the rat infestation of the left, you need a careful strategy to go in there and you need to move actually kind of quickly.

So if I were Elon Musk, I would not trust the system to fix itself like, okay, Elon Musk now has a big share. Elon Musk has spoken multiple times about free speech.

By the way, a little tip that really made me smile, I see that the guys of the Babylon B noted, Seth Dylan who's been on the podcast here said Elon Musk called over to the Babylon B and he goes, hey, is it really true that you guys were suspended?

I mean, I think for Elon Musk, it's like inconceivable that you'd have a platform like Twitter suspending a satirical site for satirical posting.

And so I think Elon Musk realized this is a much bigger problem. This isn't just a matter that they're trying to regulate opinions that are dangerous or opinions that could lead to insorrections.

No, this is a, these are basically, this is an arbitrary regime of absolutely entitled probably kids in their 20s and 30s going, you know, let's get this guy off.
