New in PJ Media:
The Elon Musk/Twitter drama has been playing out for months now. Back on April 25, when he was first attempting to buy the woke social media giant, Musk tweeted: “I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means.” A chorus of Leftist A-listers, B-listers, and Z-listers, however, immediately made it clear that they weren’t going to oblige him. If he was going to allow something as dangerous and evil as the freedom of speech, then these fascists declared they were going to take their marbles and go home. But as of this writing (Friday, 8:45AM Pacific time), those who insisted that it was either Musk or them are still on Twitter. The far-Left glitterati hate the freedom of speech, but they just can’t quit it.
Unhinged Leftist activist Amy Siskind tweeted on April 25: “I am sitting with my thoughts and watching, and haven’t decided if I am staying here. I have a huge philosophical issue knowing whatever content I provide here goes directly towards enriching one man, who I think is absolutely awful. Watching. His platform is hemorrhaging users.” She added: “People need to understand that this is no longer a public company. Every post you make here is free content to enrich one man, Elon Musk. He is completely in control and answers to no one. I don’t view him as a mentally stable person.”
If anyone knows mental stability, it’s Amy Siskind, who announced in December 2018: “I will not support white male candidates in the Dem primary,” and who then tried to get a Leftist professor fired for disagreeing with her identity politics.
Siskind has now reiterated her intention to leave – soon! Really! On Friday, she tweeted: “I am here through midterms to help mobilize the vote. After, if the man child allows the neo-Nazi and hate leaders back I will keep an account here, but stop providing content (this drives him really crazy). You can find my content on Facebook until a better thing comes along.” She claimed that her fellow Left-fascists were leaving Twitter in droves: “I have already lost thousands of followers here who have fled the platform, and hundreds have migrated to Facebook it appears. Safe spot for now until a better option materializes.” Safe, that is, from those horrible unwashed patriots daring to express opinions that dissent from the Leftist line. Will Siskind make good on her promise to leave after the midterms? Well, after that she’ll have to mobilize the cadres for 2024, so we shall see.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Looks like they’re like the hordes who promised us that they’d leave the US if Trump wins. At any rate, if they leave Twitter, then they have not just Fakebook but also SubStack where they can play around. At any rate, they’re not likely to be banned from Twitter, since the Musk regime is about restoring free speech for all, rather than depriving it for the Left as well
Nonetheless, I’ll wait a while and see how it goes before deciding whether or not to rejoin Twitter, which I left in 2018 when a lot of my online friends were banned, and when I was suspended for using the term ‘rapefugee’ to describe muslim refugees who raped locals in Europe

This threat is really getting old. Many of the same characters said they’d leave the country if McCain won in 2008. Probably a lot of them supported McCain when he was running in 2000, until GWB was nominated.. They really need to find a new scriptwriter.

“I have already lost thousands of followers here who have fled the platform…”
Yup, Amy, you’re losing followers because they’re fleeing Twitter. You betcha.

Or b’cos those followers are bots, which are being deleted by engineers scrambling to salvage their jobs as new management takes over

I haven’t been on the twit site…although a few things I have read on others have included a tweet as the *source* of a part of the information the poster was using to make a point.
I can’t imagine that any “content” this fool would “provide” would be of any use to me for any reason. She has a very, astronomically, high opinion of herself. Boring would be a word to apply to her and her content.

Leftists make all kinds of idle threats. It serves as just one more example of their overall dishonesty, hysteria, intolerance and shallowness.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yeah, and one of those idle threats kicked off the war in Ukraine

Elon loves poking the left in the eye and I love it when he does. The left are always threatening to leave but they never do.
bill carr says
Never heard of her

The controversy over and about Twitter makes it seem more important than it really is. I used to listen to Rush Limbaugh wax eloquently about Twitter. I miss that kind of intelligence in my life since he left this fallen World……
