SPEWING OH MY GOODNESS.
>> Emily: LIBERAL ACTRESS AND
ACTIVIST MELISSA MILANO GETTING
A BIT OF A HISTORY LESSON AFTER
SHE THOUGHT SHE PULLED ONE OVER
ON NEW TWITTER CEO ELON MUSK.
SHE TWEETED SHE TRADED IN HER
TESLA SAYING I’M NOT SURE AT HOW
ADVERTISERS CAN BUY SPACE ON
TWITTER, PUBLICLY TRADED
COMPANIES AND PRODUCTS BEING
PUSHED IN ALIGNMENT WITH HATE
AND WHITE SUPREMACY DOES NOT
SEEM TO BE A WINNING BUSINESS
MODEL BUT USERS WERE QUICK TO
POINT OUT VOLKSWAGEN’S DICEY
PASS.
THAN ONE SHARING THAT THE
COMPANY STARTED OUT AS A STATE
OWNED ENTERPRISE IN NAZI
GERMANY.
ELON MUSK’S RESPONSE?
HE RESPONDED WITH A CRYING
LAUGHING AMO G SO HE DOES NOT
SEEM TO MIND WHAT MELISSA
MILANO SAID.
ONE TREATED IMAGINE YOU THINK
YOU ARE TRADING YOUR
AMERICAN-MADE CAR BY ONE
LITERALLY FOUNDED BY CARLEY
FORS.
>> Carley: I AGREE TWEETING
WITH THAT LAUGH AND CRY SHE’S
OVER SHARING AND CALLING IT
ACTIVISM.
I QUOTE HER DIRECTLY.
TO CALL HIM A GENIUS.
I LOVE YOU.
SHE WAS 1 OF 4 SHE WOULD CHOOSE
FOR HER DINNER PARTY.
SHE SAID I AM IN AWE OF YOU.
HIS GREATEST FAN BEFORE HATING
HIM BECAME THE NEWEST KOMBUCHA.
JUST LIKE HER WEARING THE
CROCHET MASK AND TELLING
EVERYONE TO WEAR A MASK, I SEE
THIS AS ONE A MORE PERFORMATIVE
PIECE OF ACTIVISM.
THE REALITY IS WELL AS DON’T
HATE THE PLAYER, HATE THE GAME.
IF YOU WERE CONCERNED ABOUT
ADVERTISING ON TWITTER, YOU HAVE
TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE
$250 MILLION ADVERTISERS HAVE
PORTED WHILE IT WAS THE BIGGEST
CENSORSHIP MACHINE ON THE PLANET
UNTIL NOW.
YOU CAN’T CHERRY PICK WHO’S
DOING WHAT WRONG AT ONE TIME.
YOU NEED TO BE EVEN STEPHEN
UNLESS YOU’RE HER.
>> Carley: AND WHAT ABOUT
SAVING THE PLANET QUESTION WORK
THERE WAS A MORNING TWEET.
IT TALKED ABOUT HOW SENSE
ELON MUSK TOOK OVER TWITTER,
TESLA FAVORABILITY AMONG
DEMOCRATS IS AROUND DOWN 20
PERCENTAGE POINTS SINCE LAST
MONTH AND UP FOUR POINTS AMONG
REPUBLICANS.
ELECTRIC VEHICLES FOR DEMOCRATS.
SO LAST MONTH.
HOW QUICKLY TIME TO CHANGE.
>> Todd: ONE OF MY FAVORITE
HOLIDAY MOVIES ELF, MANY OF YOU
WILL BE WATCHING NOW IF YOU
HAVEN’T ALREADY, THERE IS ONE
WHERE WELFARE GOES INTO THE
COFFEE SHOP AND SAYS
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU DID IT.
WORLD’S BEST CUP OF COFFEE!
TO THE DEMOCRATS, ALL SAY
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU DID IT!
YOU SAVE THE PLANET!
NONI FOR AN ELECTRIC CAR.
DITCH THE TESLA’S, EVERYTHING IS
GOOD, AND ELON MUSK JUST TOOK
OVER TWITTER AND YOU HATE
ELON MUSK.
THIS IS SO DISINGENUOUS FROM THE
DEMOCRATS BUT WHY WOULD YOU
EXPECT ANYTHING ELSE AT THIS
POINT QUESTION WORK YOU NEED TO
BE CRYSTAL CLEAR AS TO WHAT IS
GOING ON.
DEMOCRATS IN THE LEFT, THE FAR
LEFT, SEEM TO WANT THIS WORLD OF
CENSORSHIP.
THIS WORLD OF LOCKDOWNS, THIS
WORLD OF IF THERE IS AN OPINION
THAT DIFFERS FROM THEIRS, THEY
WANT TO SHUT IT DOWN INSTEAD OF
ENGAGE WITH IT.
THAT’S WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.
THEY ARE SO SCARED THAT THEIR
OPINIONS ARE NOT GOING TO BE
DEFENSIBLE BECAUSE IN MANY CASES
THEY ARE NOT.
WE’RE JUST GOING TO SHUT IT DOWN
AND WHAT DOES ELON MUSK DO?
HE UPSETS THEM.
HE UPSETS THE ORTHODOXY AND IT
HAS THROWN THEM INTO A TIZZY.
>> Carley: YOU BRING UP A GOOD
POINT.
ELON MUSK IS NOT SAYING THAT
TWITTERS WOULD BE A
FREE-FOR-ALL.
THERE WILL BE RULES, IT JUST
WON’T BE AUTOMATIC CENSORSHIP OF
IDEAS THAT YOU DON’T LIKE AND
YOU HAVE SENATOR ED MARKEY
SAYING HIS PLAN IS A DANGER TO
PUBLIC HEALTH AND MAY REQUIRE
CONGRESSIONAL INTERVENTION.
>> Harris: THEY’VE BEEN
THIRSTY FOR THAT ALL ALONG WITH
HIM TAKING OVER.
THEY WOULD LOVE TO STEP ON ON IT
PRIVATELY OWNED COMPANY NOW.
THEY DIDN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
WITH THE AYATOLLAH’S ACCOUNT
THAT HAS A BLUE CHECKED BY A
QUESTION MARK IT USED TO.
I HAVEN’T CHECKED IT LATELY.
THEY DIDN’T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS
WITH THAT?
LOOK WHAT’S HAPPENING IN IRAN.
BUT NOW THAT ELON MUSK OWNS A
COMPANY, SUDDENLY THERE’S A LOT
OF INTEREST ON ONE SIDE OF THE
AISLE FROM CONGRESS.
I JUST WANT EVERYBODY TO KNOW
THE HISTORY HERE.
GERMAN LABOR FRONT FOUNDED.
IT’S A COMPANY THAT WAS RUN BY
THE CARLEY FORS AND HITLER.
THAT’S WHERE IT STARTED.
MAYBE LATER REALIZING IT WASN’T
A GREAT TITLE, THEY CALLED IT
THE PEOPLE’S COMPANY.
I DON’T KNOW IF THAT UNDOES IT,
BUT IT’S THE ORIGINS.
IF YOU’RE GOING TO GO OUT AND
GET SOMETHING AND BE SO WOKE AND
JUDGMENTAL ABOUT EVERYTHING
ELSE, WHAT’D YOU HAVE DONE YOUR
HOMEWORK ON WHAT YOU WERE
BUYING?
ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE IN AN
AMERICAN CAR.
>> Carley: AND THEN TWEET
ABOUT IT WHICH IS THE COMPANY
THAT ELON MUSK OWNS.
MERCEDES, I’M CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT
YOU THINK ON HOW THIS CHANGES
POLITICS MOVING FORWARD AND
POSSIBLY THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION NOW THAT THERE’S GOING
TO BE AN EVEN PLAYING FIELD FOR
BOTH POLITICAL PERSPECTIVES
CUSTOMER
>> Mercedes: ELON MUSK SHOULD
SEND THIS STAY WOKE T-SHIRT TO
MELISSA MILANO.
I THINK SHE COULD WEAR THAT WITH
PRIDE.
>> Todd: THEY SELL A BUNCH OF
THEM.
>> Mercedes: THAT THERE IS A
SENSE OF RELIEF FOR
CONSERVATIVES AND CENTER RIGHT
INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE FELT THAT
THEIR VOICES HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN
BECAUSE OF TWITTERS OLD.
THE MERE FACT IS THAT ELON MUSK
IS ECCENTRIC.
HE IS A NEW STYLE OF LEADERSHIP
WHEN IT COMES TO BIG TECH
COMPANIES AND IT IS ALLOWING
CONSERVATIVES TO COME BACK ON
THIS PLATFORM.
THIS IS WHAT WE WANT.
WE WANT DEBATE AND DISCUSSION.
WE DO NOT NEED AMERICAN
COMPANIES LIKE GM FOR INSTANCE
SAYING I’M GOING TO PULL MY
ADVICE FROM TWITTER.
THAT’S OUTRAGEOUS.
WE NEED TO HAVE A PLATFORM WHERE
BOTH SIDES CAN GO AT IT AND LET
THE BEST IDEAS WIN.
I THINK THAT IS THE BIG FOCUS
