There's a battle brewing between Elon Musk of twitter apparently now.
And also Devin Nunes of Trumps truth social has a bit of back and
forth going on, let's see exactly how they started it
did start with Devin Nunes a couple of potentially untruth,
let's watch this president trump basically before Elon musk bought it.
Actually said to go and buy it because the goal of our company is really to build
a community where people are in a family friendly safe environment.
That was Devin Nunes talking about his truth social act and
variety is reporting on this.
Also we encourage you on musk to buy twitter because someone has to take on
these tech tyrants Donald Trump wanted to make sure that the American people got
their voice back and that the internet was open and that's what we were doing,
which makes me wonder how come Donald Trump the richest man in the world.
If you ask him, how come he didn't buy twitter.
Moving on, good point, so must decide to jump in and
push back on this and respond to that, he did say this is false.
I've had no communication directly or indirectly with Trump,
who has publicly stated that he would be exclusively on truth social,
which is actually true Trump did say that.
So why would Nunez be lying about this of course is the next question true social
has not enjoyed a very terrific launch of its products, even if most of it was in
beta reports of a buggy application combined with almost no engagement
from the foreign president have led some experts to call the application dead,
which is why Devin Nunes is jumping on every opportunity can
with awkward interviews.
I did a little bit of him saying this before dudes awkward continuing on when
Trump was kicked off of twitter, he had more than 88 million followers on
Truth Social, which launched an IOS in February trump is currently listed is
having 2.55 million followers, definitely not enough for him.
Also, as Devin Nunes was suing over the call thing,
let's jump down to graphics seven because what musk is interesting here.
He's primary, he said that he's primarily interested in protecting free speech.
Considering what we just talked about.
We mentioned the Ivana band here in protecting free speech on twitter and
has criticized the company for allegedly having a left leaning political bias.
Now keep that in mind because he's partnered with other groups and
we're thinking about free speech and pushing that whole agenda forward and
the morals of Americans and everyone that believes in it.
So let's check this out again, remembering that part,
Elon Musk will fund his twitter deal with money from countries that suppress
free speech is what this headline says.
That's because Saudi Prince Al Waleed Bin Talal said he has looked,
he has looked forward to joining his new friend Elon Musk on his journey here.
So details on that on Thursday an sec filing revealed that financiers for
musk takeover plan which includes Saudi Prince Al Waleed bin Talal and
Qatar's sovereign wealth fund.
Both countries impose harsh censorship to quash dissent.
A Qatari law states that spreading quote false or
malicious news can land you in prison for five years while in Saudi Arabia,
critics of the government have faced arrest and even murder.
These things of course are always known.
Saudi Arabia also ranks number 166 out of 180 in the world on press freedom index
while cutter ranks number 119 again, these are the folks that are helping to
spread the free speech here in America as we get a crossover application again,
why does Elon musk need help?
I thought these guys were rich,
continuing on because also although we did tweet about this.
Great to connect with my new friend as we saw there, I believe you'd be an excellent
leader for Twitter to propel and maximize its great potential.
The Kingdom and I look forward to our to roll our $1.9
billion Twitter and join you on this exciting journey.
Wonderful there.
These guys think now once Elon musk and his buddies finish off this whole thing.
Maybe collects a few more dollars from other countries that may be, he'll be
reinstating all those folks that I was worried about it before, Donald trump.
>> Yeah there's there's a couple of issues here.
But first I'd like to know something irrelevant but fun.
I like that they're like true social is in beta was like
yeah [LAUGH] it's not a beta bus that's for sure.
Truth social.
Okay anyways I mainly love this story because the circular
firing squad has begun.
Elon Musk is like these left wingers man, they criticize me because I
don't pay taxes, I hate left wingers right wing and that's the way it is.
That's an interesting way to go right wing.
Okay and we're like yeah but they lie all the time.
No they don't.
And then the first thing they do is they come and lie about him.
He's like wait a minute they're lying.
I know we told you that like they do it without a conscience like
Devin Nunes of course [LAUGH] Devin Nunes gonna lie about you.
And by the way Trump this is a classic trump 101.
He probably told Nunes and
tell him I told him to do it till God needs to get credit for it.
And when Nunes gets in trouble with Elon musk trump my fire he does
that all the time.
That's why I told Newton.
I said on air when Nunes was quitting congress to go run Trump's side.
I was like how many weeks are you gonna last brother?
He's gonna make you do something stupid and then fire you for listening to him.
It's what he does every time, right?
So Elon Musk is like that's outrageous, totally false.
Yeah, welcome to our world.
I haven't said something true about us in years, so I love that part and
then the second part about the people who are in favor of freedom of speech.
The Saudis literally chopped up a guy because they didn't like what he said,
freedom of speech or he's gonna come to twitter through the Saudis,
okay if you say so.
>> Honestly I feel like maybe in trump's mind he actually believed
that he might have incentivized Ellen maybe through his own actions with Trump,
truth social but Trump doesn't live in reality, so
I'm not surprised he might have pushed Nunes to say that.
But I think going back to your point like yeah Saudi Arabia, Qatar like definitely
not places that encourage or incentivize free speech and that just goes to
the point that right wingers, they don't really truly believe in free speech,
they believe in control and that's exactly what they're looking for.
Elon Must two at the fact that they don't do any research into like the places and
maybe they do maybe they actually do know what's going on there.
But it's clear that's not free speech and protecting people's rights,
it's not at the forefront undermine its power and control.
And once people begin to realize that I'm talking about right wingers
cause us on the left, we know this already, right?
I think that maybe they'll start waking up, but
I doubt it's gonna be in my lifetime.
But yeah, it's not about free speech, it's about control, it's about power,
it's about making sure that no one can criticize me or talk bad about me.
The only speech I went online is the speech that I approve of.
>> Yeah, to Kylie's point there, that's actually literal.
So these free speech champions Donald Trump and
Devin Nunes on true social like this is this is for
free speech rule number one, you're not allowed to criticize Trump.
[LAUGH] Wait, what happened to free speech?
Like you guys are a joke, you're an unbelievable joke.
And the fact that the right wing can't see that is amazing.
It's amazing.
Devin Nunes, well, he's a champion of free speech, right?
I mean he's the CEO he sued twitter because of two accounts,
Devin Nunes, [LAUGH] Mom and Devin Nunes Cow.
He sued them for $250 million dollars for parody accounts that they had nothing to
do with and he's like, dad, you shouldn't allow that speech,
they're making fun of me there pretending I have a cow and it has an account.
And it's speaking I don't actually have a cow and
it doesn't have a twitter handle, they're making fun of me, I'm gonna sue you.
Freedom of speech advocate.
Okay, by the way out of that murderer's row of hypocrites the least guilty as
Prince Al Waleed Bin Talal.
[LAUGH] Okay, because to be fair to that guy, the butcher of Riyadh,
Mohammed Bin Salman, the guy who actually chopped up the journalist.
Also had Bin Talal arrested in the beginning because Bin Talal was seen as
a prince who might vie for power and
he locked up a bunch of princes in a fancy hotel and let him know, by the way,
I'm taking some of your money and if you cross me, I'll kill you.
Okay [LAUGH] and so he's not in been last we checked.
He was not in Mohammed bin Salman's camp if you will.
>> As long as he didn't tweet that he's okay.
[LAUGH] Two more really quick things because this fight isn't just started
because I remember from a few weeks ago, in fact, april 27th,
not even a few weeks ago, april 2017, I must did tweet this out.
You won't see this graphic, but I do remember this every time because they were
talking about truth social versus twitter and how the full takeover.
This big tech situations happened.
And Eli must couldn't stand for that either because his ego's too big.
He went, truth social, terrible name here exists.
He did say terrible and
that wasn't me exists because twitter censored free speech.
Okay, sure. And then followed up and
said it should be called trumpet instead because he was focused in on the name of
truth social because again, we got to squash any of his competitors,
even though they're kind of killing himself off anyway, so there's that part.
Secondly, Pop Crave apparently is next up on the banned list on twitter because they
tweeted this out it.
Girl model, singer songwriter Sky Phaedra declined the date with Elon
musk after being asked by his team at the 2022 met gala.
There's a picture of them on and May Musk responded, there was no team,
I was with Ellen, so know that angry face and Ellen,
you better get on there and explain yourself.
I didn't ask anyone out a request particular seating, so
he fixed the misinformation.
I'm not sure if Pop crave is gonna last much longer here on the site, but again,
that's an example of if something that you feel is incorrect or
I don't know who was right or wrong here, honestly, I don't care.
But he got a chance to clear it up and I'm sure anyone who wants to believe him,
don't believe him.
He was the one that was there and apparently along with.
>> Yeah, will see who's getting banned because we just did a story about how one
of our contributors was banned on twitter for being mean to Ben Shapiro,
so I don't know what the new rules are [LAUGH] okay.
And then I but I will give you a lot of must credit for
this truth social is a terrible man.
And now this is speculation, fun speculation.
My guess is that Trump called a meeting afterwards.
I was like, wait a minute truth.
So she was a terrible name who came up with that, you know like sir you did sir?
No, you're fine.
Okay, maybe should we call the trumpet?
Should we call the trumpet?
And like it seems pretty reactionary to the tweet that he at,
I know you're all fired.
Look [LAUGH].
>> These people are just so sensitive like honestly like with the whole cow thing and
just like banning of, really just like you said before,
impolite speech like who gives a crap?
And it just really shows like how much of snowflakes these people are like they
melt after like the smallest like pushback or
like insult like they just can't take it, they lose their goddamn minds.
And I'm just like, wow, like this is the party of intellectualism.
This is like the hard like masculine party like you got called a cow and
you're, you're suing people like come on, come on man, come on.
>> Everything about republicans is the opposite of what they claim.
And then Ted Cruz like I'm a tough guy, You had called my wife ugly,
can I kiss your ass more.
Should I kiss it on the left or right or both.
What do you think?
Donald, okay, they're like the world's biggest betas.
So I love that they lied about Elon Musk.
And then he's [LAUGH] like shocked the chagrined to find out the right
wing lines.
[LAUGH] I think I said Larry, I love the snowflake on snowflake violence.
[LAUGH] That's totally, totally, totally, at least rhetorical violence.
Alright, super last thing Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, of course, is,
Muslim trying to come into the country, take our property would buy and
stuff, fundamental is terrible, right?
Also was a huge partial owner of Fox News.
Okay, [LAUGH] so, well, conservatives have flock together.
Okay, so right wing in Saudi Arabia and the right wing here,
all of us to be in the past.
Love Fox News, he's now divested from Fox News and now with Elon Musk into twitter.
So if you like being ruled by Saudi Arabia,
there's a couple of princes that the right wing absolutely loves.
