Musk recommends voting GOP, bans Twitter accounts for ‘impersonation’

[cancel2 2022]

.
New Twitter owner Elon Musk tweeted Monday encouraging “independent-minded voters” to vote Republican, marking a major departure for leaders of social media companies, who typically steer clear of partisan political advocacy.

“Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic,” he tweeted.

The remark capped a chaotic weekend in which Musk abruptly changed course on several major issues for the company, which he acquired for $44 billion a little over a week ago. After laying off about half of the workforce on Friday, Twitter began scrambling to rehire some who were let go. It postponed the planned launch of its new paid verification product until after the midterm elections.

So people are not allowed to misquote Musk as a joke, but they are allowed to misquote Democrats as a lie? So much for alt right freedom of speech.

Agreed with his position: If neither party represents you, then always support the challenger, regardless of party. He could also have added, "A vote for the lesser evil is still a vote for evil". By always voting for the challenger, the power of those evils is reduced.

Meanwhile, there's this:
