Liberal response to free speech on Twitter is telling
Fox News:
Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover makes the left lose it: ‘It’s like the gates of hell opened’
Elon Musk finally closed the $44 billion deal on Thursday, promptly firing several of Twitter's top executives

Co-Host of Breaking Points Saagar Enjeti posted emoji hands waving "bye" while retweeting a post of his from April where he had written that, "Vijaya Gadde, the top censorship advocate at Twitter who famously gaslit the world on Joe Rogan's podcast and censored the Hunter Biden laptop story, is very upset about the @elonmusk takeover."

Uproxx writer Mike Redmond wrote, "I don't think any of us are prepared for how quickly this whole site is about to go down. It's a miracle flames aren't shooting out of it already."
"Yay, manbaby with poor impulse control and edgelord tendencies has the helm. Sweet," tweeted writer Dylan Reeve.
"I would be so happy if I’m wrong. But the [sic] all the red lights are flashing here," warned NBC News "disinformation" reporter Ben Collins.
Controversial tech columnist Taylor Lorenz tweeted, "It’s like the gates of hell opened on this site tonight."

Liberal academic and journalism professor Jeff Jarvis' reaction upon hearing the news was, "The sun is dark." Earlier in the day, he had warned, "This is an emergency! Twitter is to be taken over by the evil Sith lord."
Jarvis is no stranger to Twitter hyperbole. In April when Musk's plans to acquire Twitter first became part of the news cycle, he tweeted, "Today on Twitter feels like the last evening in a Berlin nightclub at the twilight of Weimar Germany."

Forbes sustainability senior contributor Dave Vetter tweeted, "After Elon has demolished Twitter, where will you go? Ideas below, please."
He later responded to another commentator by clarifying that "I'm not leaving until the platform becomes essentially unusable or until I'm banned, whichever comes first. But if he does what he says he wants to do, I don't see how Twitter will continue to function."

There is much more.
The libs seem upset that conservatives will be allowed to express their point of view on the platform. Many of them are just not handling it well. The same people who thought Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation still want to regulate your speech and fear the destruction of the universe if people have free speech.
