RT TO EXPOSE ELON MUSK!\u201d Occupy Democrats tweeted.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re terrified that Twitter is about to be bought by Elon Musk, a man who U.S. national security expert Fiona Hill just declared is an \u2018intermediary\u2019 who is \u2018transmitting messages from Putin,\u2019 please RT & join http:\/\/Tribel.com, a new pro-democracy Twitter alternative!\u201d the group added.<\/p>\n Elon Musk responded earlier to unsubstantiated reports that he had a discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin before advocating peace between Russia and Ukraine on Twitter.<\/p>\n When asked if a Vice News report that he spoke with Putin was true, he said: \u2018No, it is not.\u201d<\/p>\n According to the unconfirmed report, Elon Musk had met privately with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Ian Bremmer, who provided his account in an email to Eurasia Group subscribers.<\/p>\n As reported<\/a> by Business Insider, \u201cMusk told Bremmer that Putin said he was \u2018prepared to negotiate\u2019 under the conditions that Crimea remains under Russian control, that Ukraine remained neutral, and that Russia\u2019s annexations of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia were enforced.\u201d<\/p>\n On Thursday, Musk sent a huge warning shot to \u2018Woke\u2019 Twitter employees ahead of his buyout offer for the social media giant, a deal that is expected to close next week.<\/p>\n \u201cTwitter\u2019s workforce is likely to be hit with massive cuts in the coming months, no matter who owns the company, interviews and documents obtained by The Washington Post show, a change likely to have major impact on its ability to control harmful content and prevent data security crises,\u201d the Washington Post reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n \u201cMusk told prospective investors in his deal to buy the company that he planned to get rid of nearly 75 percent of Twitter\u2019s 7,500 workers, whittling the company down to a skeleton staff of just over 2,000,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cEven if Musk\u2019s Twitter deal falls through \u2014 and there\u2019s little indication now that it will \u2014 big cuts are expected: Twitter\u2019s current management planned to pare the company\u2019s payroll by about $800 million by the end of next year, a number that would mean the departure of nearly a quarter of the workforce, according to corporate documents and interviews with people familiar with the company\u2019s deliberations,\u201d the report said. \u201cThe company also planned to make major cuts to its infrastructure, including data centers that keep the site functioning for more than 200 million users that log on each day.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe extent of the cuts, which have not been previously reported, help explain why Twitter officials were eager to sell to Musk: Musk\u2019s $44 billion bid, though hostile, is a golden ticket for the struggling company \u2014 potentially helping its leadership avoid painful announcements that would have demoralized the staff and possibly crippledthe service\u2019s ability to combat misinformation, hate speech and spam,\u201d WaPo added.<\/p>\n As earlier reported, the social media giant has quietly conceded that it now expects the deal to go through. Twitter this week took action to freeze share-trading for its employees through its corporate awards account.<\/p>\n \u201cTwitter Inc. froze the equity awards accounts for employees on Monday as the deadline to seal a deal with Elon Musk approaches,\u201d Bloomberg Law reported.<\/p>\n \u201cThe social media company updated its employee FAQ page this week to alert staff that they won\u2019t be able to access or trade shares from the Equity Award Center,\u201d the article adds. \u201cThe page said the change was done \u2018in anticipation of the closing of the pending acquisition of Twitter by an entity controlled by Elon Musk,\u2019 according to two people familiar with the change.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis freeze allows Schwab to perform final reconciliation of employee accounts\u201d prior to close of the deal, the article notes.<\/p>\n Elon Musk on Tuesday showed his optimism that he would close the deal on Twitter with a tweet, which he subsequently deleted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIn retrospect, it was inevitable,\u201d Musk tweeted, along with a cartoonized photoshop image of Musk, West, and Trump as the \u2018Three Musketeers.\u201d<\/p>\n Elon Musk is under investigation by federal authorities, according to Twitter court documents. The social media platform\u2019s attorneys recently divulged the revelation, although it did not list the government agency. There was speculation that it could be the Security and Exchange Commission, which could issue Musk a fine for violations, but was unlikely to block the deal.<\/p>\n Delaware Court of Chancery Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick had earlier cleared the path<\/a> for Elon Musk to close his buyout of Twitter by the midterm elections.<\/p>\n \u201cDefendants and Counterclaim-Plaintiffs Elon R. Musk, X Holdings I, Inc., and X Holdings II, Inc. (collectively, \u201c\u2019Defendants\u2019) have agreed to close on the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 25, 2022, and they have moved to stay this action in light of their agreement,\u201d the judge ruled. \u201cDefendants have stated that \u2018the closing is expected on or around October 28, 2022.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis action is stayed until 5 p.m. on October 28, 2022, to permit the parties to close on the transaction,\u201d the judge added. \u201cIf the transaction does not close by 5 p.m. on October 28, 2022, the parties are instructed to contact me by email that evening to obtain November 2022 trial dates.\u201d<\/p>\n The Washington Post and legacy media outlets can sound the alarms all they want, but their days of dominating the influential Big Tech platform are numbered. If Musk returns to a free marketplace of ideas, as he has promised, elitist left-wing ideas will be openly challenged by conservatives and populists on Twitter. As the 2016 election showed, the ramifications can be disastrous for them.<\/p>\n That is why the Biden administration is weighing a politically motivated intervention into the Musk deal. Political propaganda doesn\u2019t work if the American people can openly discuss it and expose it to the truth. This is why the American left is freaking out at the prospect of Twitter becoming a free speech platform again.<\/p>\n via Trending Politics<\/p>\n October 22, 2022 at 06:16AM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" President Biden is Weighing Decision to Block Elon Musk’s Twitter Buyout on ‘National Security’ Grounds ============ Enabling further research of information operations on Twitter https:\/\/blog.twitter.com\/en_us\/topics\/company\/2018\/enabling-further-research-of-information-operations-on-twitter ============ Undercover FBI Agents Swarm the Internet Seeking Terrorists https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2017\/01\/31\/undercover-fbi-agents-swarm-the-internet-seeking-contact-with-terrorists\/ ============ HOW COVERT AGENTS INFILTRATE THE INTERNET TO MANIPULATE, DECEIVE, AND DESTROY REPUTATIONS https:\/\/theintercept.com\/2014\/02\/24\/jtrig-manipulation\/ ============= https:\/\/www.influencewatch.org\/political-party\/defeat-disinfo-pac\/ ============== Michael Hastings: Army […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5786,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,1,225],"tags":[103],"class_list":["post-5778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured-stories","category-pete-santilli-post","category-technocracy","tag-sbn"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petersantilli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-22-at-6.16.52-AM.png?fit=1500%2C982&ssl=1",1500,982,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petersantilli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-22-at-6.16.52-AM.png?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petersantilli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-22-at-6.16.52-AM.png?fit=300%2C196&ssl=1",300,196,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petersantilli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-22-at-6.16.52-AM.png?fit=768%2C503&ssl=1",768,503,true],"large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petersantilli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-22-at-6.16.52-AM.png?fit=1024%2C670&ssl=1",1024,670,true],"rpg_gallery_admin_thumb":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petersantilli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-22-at-6.16.52-AM.png?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1",150,150,true],"rpg_gallery_thumb":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petersantilli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-22-at-6.16.52-AM.png?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1",150,150,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petersantilli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-22-at-6.16.52-AM.png?fit=1500%2C982&ssl=1",1500,982,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petersantilli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Screen-Shot-2022-10-22-at-6.16.52-AM.png?fit=1500%2C982&ssl=1",1500,982,true]},"author_info":{"info":["Peter Santilli"]},"category_info":"Featured Stories<\/a> Pete Santilli -
