NOTE:
Leftist climate alarmists love Tesla electric cars, even though they start at about $50,000 for a compact model. I wonder if Elon Musk's recent Tweets will turn off his leftist customers The number of competitor's EV choices is growing rapidly. Tesla has always had poor quality and poor dependability, although they have high resale value. I wonder if any Tesla shareholders will sue Musk for making political statements that turn off leftist customers. Musk obviously doesn't care, but they might care.

"New Twitter owner Elon Musk is having a lot of fun since he announced his takeover of the social media platform. He is on a much needed free speech crusade and is calling out the misguided censorship we have all been subjected to of late.
Tom Fitton said: “Ministry of Truth” is trending because Biden admin appointed a radical leftist to run a censorship board in the Department of Homeland Security a few days [email protected] purchase of @Twitter announced.” Musk responded, “This is messed up.”
A Twitter user said: “Can you blame @elonmusk for turning away from a Democratic Party that has made him out to be the embodiment of pure evil? Would you have the strength to support a political party that made hating you specifically one of their core tenants?”
“When you fire shots at Elon, he fires back. Democratic leaders have no idea how much long term damage they did to the party picking a fight with him.”
Musk responded:
“I try not to pick fights, but I do finish them.”
He doubled down this morning with:
“The far left hates everyone, themselves included.”
Musk is having fun. If you watch Fox News you see the hosts smiling and laughing. If you watch CNN or MSNBC it is all doom and gloom. Maybe that is because President Joe Biden and his team have been shockingly incompetent and they have to try to spin it.
But it didn’t start with Biden, the left have lost the ability to laugh at anything especially themselves for a long time and maybe Musk is the wake-up call they need. The left lost another huge battle when they went after Joe Rogan and Spotify recently in another sign that the tide has turned.
According to CNN, “Spotify (SPOT) saw its paid memberships increase, and the platform now has 182 million premium subscribers — up from 180 million in the previous quarter and 15% higher year over year, the company said in its first quarter earnings report Wednesday. Total revenue was up 24% over last year.
Those numbers are roughly in line with what the company said it was expecting in terms of growth. In fact, Spotify noted that it would have done even better had it not pulled out of Russia in April following the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Excluding the impact of our exit from Russia, subscriber growth exceeded expectations,” the company said.
On a recent show, Rogan addressed the woke mob backfiring. Douglas Murray said to Rogan: “You have been put through the wringer since we last met. They did a number on you. Wow.” Rogan said, “It’s interesting, my subscriptions went up massively, that’s what’s crazy. During the height of it all, I gained 2 million subscribers.”
