Elon Musk has completed his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter

, the company confirmed in a securities filing Friday, putting the world’s richest man in charge of one of the world’s most influential social media platforms. The company said the deal “became effective” on Thursday, as part of a filing notifying its intention to de-list from the New York Stock Exchange. The confirmation comes after a source familiar with the deal told CNN the deal had closed Thursday night.

” Musk has said he plans to rethink Twitter’s content moderation policies in service of a more maximalist approach to “free speech.” The billionaire has also said he disagrees with Twitter’s practice of permanent bans for those who repeatedly violate its rules, raising the possibility that a number of previously banned, controversial users could reemerge on the platform.

He already stated that he was going to stay on Truth Social.

He has already announced that he will and that it should be by tomorrow. Now it is time to pick on CNN. What are you so afraid of that he will come on here and blast out the truth about you? Boycotted you 40 years ago, have not missed anything!

So says the least successful news org in the business! 🤣

Musk at the very least needs to reactivate the account so the Library of Congress can archive the tweets. Other than that, Trump is sticking to Truth Social I'm sure.

Why do they care so much about an app?

What nonsence. King George scoff

LOL sounds like wishful thinking. Still amazed that is still obsessed with DJT 2 years after he left office. What’s really important is that Musk bought Twitter and conservative voices won’t be silenced anymore. Hurts hearing it, huh? I’ll say it again. MUSK BOUGHT TWITTER.

Why was the general public believe anything that anybody says on CNN

CNN cuck news network

But the leftist dems are allowed spreading their false divisive rhetoric and attacks, their nonstop race card playing, BLM, Antifa, and Islamic extremists.

Trump will be back stronger than before...

Trump should have never been removed. I didn’t vote for him but he was the president. That is not right.

This message brought to you by the failing fake news network

I can't wait to see president Trump back on Twitter to expose people like you and your shameless organization .

No, elonmousk should let Trump back on- at 11:59pm on November 7th. Assuring Twitter has record-smashing traffic on November 8th. It would be a brilliant move.

I'll wait until it does or doesn't happen...prognosticators are regularly wrong.

I still think Elon Musk should be deported ...

Aka we hope we can keep the dissenters silent.

Trump was huge for Twitter. He will be back.

Trump doesn't need to be allowed back to Twitter. He already has his Truth Social Media platform.

CNN FakeNews fakepandemic

Honestly, who gives a fuck?

He's wrong. Trump will be back, but it won't matter, Trump is no longer important. MAGA is beyond him now, so it won't make a difference. What Elon isn't telling his sycophants is that he will eventually start cracking down on hatespeech again. This is all theatrics.

It’s hard to take your guests seriously when they all broadcast in from Los Angeles mansions

Hate speech doesn't exist, it only speech which you don't like. There is only free speech

Hope not

Trump is not interested anyway, he has Truth Social!

WHO CARES? Obsessed much? You have nothing better to research and report on? FAILURE

It's not up to Elon to decide, there will be a group of people deciding. They will implement real democracy and free speech. Something the left hates above all.

What a crock of

Trump is already back on Twitter! He popped up on my TL first thing this morning. I promptly blocked him. 😤

😂😂😂😂. Wishful thinking, Twitter will became a FREEDOM OF SPEECH platform! Feel free to disagree with anyone!

When Trump wants everyone to read what he wrote he has someone post it here. Ban or not, he’s not actually banned. Things like banning him, raiding his home, constantly harassing him for nothing, just make him more powerful.

Oh boy Russia Russia Russia or China China China. The only brush they know how to paint with elonmusk 🤡💩

I am pleased that September buys a tension mask and that the site develops and that it becomes a platform and a platform for all the free people, including Trump 

Musk is also an extreme narcissist, so Trump IS the competition for his mental disorder.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The WaPo reports a number of GOP lawmakers in the House of Representatives and the Senate have spoken out against handing forfeited Russian assets to Ukraine. They called into question the effectiveness of the measure, and cited procedural irregularities as reasons.

Interesting ! But are we there yet EddieHearn ?

Hubris and narcissism will be the unbecoming of the golden boy soon.

All sellouts Dem medias paid by SOROS and alike are scared at the possibility of losing its total control; for people freedom sake we must make certain no party ever has full control: that must start November 8, 2022

I think he would just stir up more violence.

Freedom of Speech was just given a much needed shot in the arm. Elon is a great man.

Such deep thinking from .. how’s your sucky ass ratings, ya fakes?

continue dreaming

I miss Trump on dis app; man was a comrade 😂

Social media is a fad at least these specific companies are fads. See myspace for example. Many users dont use fb anymore, its a matter of time before ppl go to another app thats probably already in existence

Sorry(phoney news again) Trump don't need twitter! Trump name is most popular name in the world Jack is trying another app like twitter which will fail miserably bc it will only attract his kind!! Congrats ELON

Who give an F

Praying 🙏 that Trump stays the hell off of Twitter.

Musk already stated that he'll reinstate Trump's Twitter account.

Does CNN have a special secret service?

lol he bought it for free speech… you think he’s going to be a dictator like who you guys work for? lol 😂

Look at all the snowflakes melt…awwww

Why do you worry about it..?

America will go underground again

He shall be back soon.

Ахахаха блть Ахахаха

Trump has said previously that he does not want to return to Twitter so even if the ban was lifted Trump still may not return.

CNN experts are always wrong

With his tie dangling over his pajamas.

oh he will but Trump is trying to promote his own platform so its kinda awkward whether he returns

He is in, .......sank in fast. Fired...those who are like thorns in the neck. Or, could be Brutus later. Chop off the heads...to stop the limbs from shaking and making too much noise. At this juncture, accept those who are yes-man and woman.

How is President Trump's takeover of CNN going? 😄

Does he want to set up an institution such as the Inquisitio or the Simon Wiesenthal Centre?

Go Elon Go!

Así es el mundo con toda su gloria un día no quedará nada de todo esto La gloria del hombre es como la flor de la hierba piensa como es eso Más la palabra de Dios permanece para siempre

I'm hoping I will be allowed to post something funny and not get suspended for it under elon's management.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

watch and learn

Perfect!

Islamic Republic is killing peaceful protesters right now in Zahedan

Or 'How to Piss Away $44B To Feed My Super Ego: Also My Cars Catch On Fire'.

Waiting for the stock to plummet

Pas de problem.

最后还是收购了啊 good!

😂 now' ELONMUSK 🤣👍🏻.. 🌹congratulation🌹.. elonmusk

Let the meltdown begin. Days are numbered for propagandists like CNN. The paradigm is shifting

Best news I've seen in a VERY long time!

..sollte Trump wieder eine Plattform auf Twitter erhalten…bin ich raus👈..

Maybe he will buy CNN next

Free speech on Twitter! Yay!

It’s a great day for free speech

Democrats very unhappy about this turn of events. Democrats rely on their adoring media and big tech censorship to stay in power.
