Based on many of the reactions to billionaire Elon Musk’s offer to buy Twitter last week, you’d think the world was ending when, really, the only thing potentially ending is the Left’s control of the platform — although, for a Democrat, that’s basically the same thing.

After a few cryptic tweets about Twitter’s content moderation policies and whether they contribute to or stifle free speech, Musk made an offer to Twitter’s board of directors last week to buy the company outright. He offered them $43 billion and vowed to take the company private so that he could “unlock” its “potential.” Though he did not elaborate on what his vision for the company might be, he did clarify during an interview afterward that he wants Twitter to serve as “an inclusive arena for free speech” in which people “are able to speak freely within the bounds of the law.”
