Musk Responds to Reports Twitter Mulling ‘Poison Pill’ Tactic to Foil His Takeover Bid

It looks like the Twitter management is desperate to keep its censorious ways.  The left in this country appears to be opposed to free speech.

Here's How Hypocritical the Left's Effort to Fend off Elon's Twitter Grab Truly Is 
... 
So much for the left’s alleged principles against the evil rich. It looks like they’re willing to throw their principles all under the bus if it means helping the powers that be to still control the platform. 
But that’s what it comes down to at this point, that’s what it’s truly about — control. The powers that be are concerned about losing a media platform through which they can dictate a lot. They can’t control Elon — he does what he wants. They’re concerned that he would level the playing field, that conservatives wouldn’t be shadowbanned and suspended, that Donald Trump might be welcomed back and people they don’t like might be allowed to question the narrative. That’s the real issue here — they fear true free speech on the platform.

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
